Center objects relative to browser window

Hi,
I've been trying for hours to figure out how to center content (images for
now, more later) in the browser window. I feel like it should be really easy
and obvious but I've been trying to figure it out for hours with support,
tutorials and the Dreamweaver MX Bible. Can anyone tell me how to position an
image relative to the window instead of in a certain position (absolute?) such
as in frames or tables.
Preferably, if there is a way to do it both without and with layers.
Thank you

For centering layers with any content, here is a good example

http://www.roast-horse.com/tutorials/_tutorials/css_centered_content/index.html

And here is how -

(inline styles used for clarity)

<div id="wrapper" style="width:760px; top:0; margin:0 auto;
position:relative;">
<div id="layer1" style="width:200px; top: 25px; left:140px;
position:absolute;">blah</div>
<div id="layer2" style="width:180px; top: 136px; left:23px;
position:absolute;">blah</div>
</div>

Try that - an outer relatively positioned division with a width and auto
left and right margins. All interior AP divisions will be centered, yet
retain the
same relative positioning.

Thank you for the answer.
Unfortunately, I don't understand it. I am using Dreamweaver because I don't
know how to write code. I was hoping it would be possible to put some pictures
on a website and have them always sit in the middle of the browser but I guess
it's just not that easy. Even the content on Macromedia's site sits in the
middle of the window, even when you resize it.

First concept - it's not possible to make good web pages without knowing
some HTML.

It's simple to center things - there are hundreds of ways to do it. The
method you choose would depend on your capabilities.

Put a table on the page. Set it to center align. Put an image in the
table. It's going to be horizontally centered. Is that what you want?

Hi,
YES! that worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Any other ways that easy? I
knew it was going to be something obvious.
I'm defenitly noticing that I'm going to have to learn some code. I guess I
should pay more attention to it from now on.
Thanks again

That's the best way to learn actually. Every time you add sometime to the
page, have a look at the code to see what has been written to it.
Slowly, you will notice a trend on how things are put together and why.
Will help you troubleshoot any problems you are having with your pages.
