Damnit.

I seem to have run into a few snags in my web design. I know a lot of you are little web gurus, so perhaps you can lend me some of your knowledge. I would be most grateful.

Okay, where do I begin? ...

  • I'm having a problem getting everything to be centered correctly for the typical browser, so that it's always centered during resize. Currently, I have this page set to 800X600 on autosize (with spacer images), but it comes out like this instead.

  • I made a pop-up menu in Fireworks, and followed the intstructions to export the HTML. In Fireworks, the pop-up menu looks perfect when I preview it with my browser. However, when I open it in Dreamweaver, everything gets screwed up: the drop-down menu goes *above* the original menu button, and the colors are screwed up when the mouse gets passed over them.

    Why is this? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure about the macromedia stuff, but centering stuff is easy, just make the table be only as big as it has to be then in the body surround the table with either <CENTER> tag's or <DIV align=center> </DIV>

    That works well

    What I usually do is make a table with width and hight both set to 100\%. Then virticle align gets set to middle (valign=middle). This will put your content or whatever in the middle of the page no matter what the dimensions.

    You'd think that two programs, made by the same respectable software company (and bundled together as one product, to boot) would be frickin' export/import compatible...

    But noooooo....

    I follow the instructions in both DW and FWRKS perfectly, and it still doesn't work right. How annoying is that?

    p.s. - thanks for the centering advice, though

    p.p.s. - if anyone knows where I can find an answer regarding my little problem please point me in that direction.

    That place rules That's where I learned everything from PHP sessions to CSS style sheets and layer manipulation, they cover everything you need to know, even if your using some pokey macromedia trash I think they'd have your answer, if not search on dmoz.org
