static width and centered content

Hi all,

I want to set the width of my webpages so that they always appear
centered and at a resolution of 800x600.

How can I accomplish this in my stylesheet ?

An example of the site can be found here: http://www.sgtclog.nl

Thanks

Dear Brian,

Ummm anyone ever accuse you of being en eye-opener ? ;-)

After reading through your site and your comments, I have to admit I
never looked at it that way.

Thanks for the 'slap on the wrist' ;-)

Erik

You cannot force anything on users.

and at a resolution of 800x600

How could any technology force a resolution on a device that is
incapable of that resolution? How could a technology force a
resolution even it it were capable? Better still, why would you
*want* to force this?

BTW, please read the very recent thread on fixed width. This has been
discussed to death.

Css is optional. Nothing in css can be relied upon. That, btw, is
not a weakness but a strength.
