Hi Geoff, you know the really useful video tutorial you had for CS3 on how to centre a CSS layout? Could you do one of those for CS5 please, as I've upgraded, but when I tried to apply your tutorial again, it didn't work the same in CS5? I'm using the GUI alot, not great on CSS...
Thanks,

Paul

Sure Paul...how much cash ya got on ya? Ha! Just kidding! You know, this would make a great episode of Ten Ton TV, which I absolutely must get back to doing on a regular basis. In the meantime, I do have a few suggestions: First, I'd strongly recommend you move to "floating" div's rather than div's that apre positioned absolutely. I'm really glad you found the CS3 video tutorials helpful, but they are getting a bit dusty...and learning how to float a layout is well, well worth the time invested. It's 10x easier than using absolute.

Second, the same process should work fine in CS5, although dialog boxes will look a little different. Just make sure that the left and right margin for #Master is set to "auto"

Is this helpful?
