Centering content on website not working in DWMX

Hi,

I've tried to create a webpage with centered content using the Trial version of DWMX by creating a table with 1 row and 1 cell, 100% high and 100% wide. I align the contents on this frame to Middle / Center. Inside this frame I place another frame. 100% wide and 100px high...

In the old Dreamweaver this would center the content vertically and horizontally. In DWMX it is fine in the workspace but when I view in Internet Explorer the content moves to the top of the page! Doesn't appear to be centering. Anyone know why? Was something changed between DW and DWMX?

Sounds like what you're doing is the old way of centering images/text on a
web page. I would look into this link

How come you don't create one table and just align the table to the center and have it stretch out to whatever width (or percentage) you want?

<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>LOOK AT ME, I"M IN THE MIDDLE</td>
</tr>
</table>
