Default centering web page - 05-02-2008 , 08:00 AM






Does anyone know of a cut/paste script that will center a webpage on a
monitor regardless of screen resolution?

TIA,
Lu Ann

Why? Maybe I have another app window in that location. Hint: don't
assume your visitors never multitask.

Oh My &deity. I switched on google gropers for a minute or three, just to
see if the spam barrage has died down. Nope, it has not...

And I come across this:

Cut/paste? The source of all the cargo cult rubbish we have seen here
from day to day for the last ten years. Next we will be wanting HTML
comments inside script elements cause that is what was pasted before! And
BTW surely we mean copy/paste :-)

Monitor? Centre something on my *monitor*? What about my other two
monitors? Is this site to be centred across all three of them together,
or each of them singly, one by one?

Screen resolution? What does that have to do with my browser canvas size?
One might as well ask how big my mouse mat is for that is the real limit
of my interaction with a web site. If a link is off the edge of my mouse
mat then I cannot click on it ;-)

Centre? How many threads are there currently running on this very
subject? How many have there been in the last week/year? And why
centred?. Why should something be "centred"? Should a web page not use
all the available space instead of wasting it on some probably pathetic
background?

<rant>
FFS can't these people who use google groups to polute usenet not also,
or rather instead, use google groups archive to find the answers to their
absolutely trivial and mostly stupid questions that have been asked and
answered thousands of times before?

Bloody dipsticks, the lot of them! Back in the bozo bin with them all.

Can be frustrating at times, be every once in a while we can show the
light to the GG code monkey and they can learn to produce accommodating,
approachable, and cooperative websites. But I have to admit that I tire
of the cheap shoes and watches pitch!

But think if you were a poor person in need of footwear and a timepiece.

Anyone in particular or do you just appreciate the general package?

I get almost none of those in my MT newsreader. At least for the last
few months? But when I am searching for some topic or post at Google on
the groups, there is an absolute ton of the stuff.

But, actually, my real motivation in coming on here is simple,
Joanathan, are you personally wanting a watch? Because I know you, I am
prepared to let you have any one of a number of fine watches and pens
(you want a pen?) at absolute bargain base prices. But this offer,
however personal, cannot last forever. Grab a bargain now... We are not
talking dorayme literature on frames or aesthetics but hard cashable
goods, watches, pens, wallets (real leather, embossed ... want a
wallet?)...
