Layers

[leonsf]

I've got a question about layers. I have set up a page using a layout grid, which I have center aligned in order that the content will always appear in the middle of the screen when somebody resizes their browser.
When I add a layer, the layer always remains in the same place when I resize the browser.
Is there a way to get the layer to align with the rest of the page, especially when I would like the rest of the content to be center aligned?

Were you able to solve this issue - I have a similar need to center the upper layer but can find no way to accomplish it. I guess we could use left align pages but that would change the structure of my site.

HTML isn't capable of centering a layer that way. You need to use CSS.

For example, if your layed has an id of "container" you would center it with this CSS rule:

#container { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; }

CSS doesn't have simple keywords like center to position items. It's much more flexible, but also more complicated, then html.

In the above CSS rule you see "margin: 0 auto 0 auto;". This sets the positioning. The four margin values are order top, right, bottom, and left. By setting the right and left values to 'auto' the layer is centered.

I can't give you the specific css rule to center your layer since you didn't post your page, and now i'm leaving for a weeks vacation away from computers and general life, but hopefully the above explaination is enough to help you solve your problem.
