Centering a site with layers

#1

I am trying to centre a site built with layers

http://www.captivationstudios.com/menutest2.html here is the inital version. I
seem to have the alignment sorted however my CSS styles for the text itself do
not appear to be working. The text is being should be formatted with the menu
CSS style, it does not seem to effect the text though. i guess it is something
to do with the div id's.

Can anyone help?? It would be very much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

change this -

<body ...>

to this -

<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

and see if that helps.

Hmmm I'm not really too sure if that has done the trick. The amended page is
at
http://www.captivationstudios.com/menutest3.html the previous version
http://www.captivationstudios.com/menutest2.html centred both horizontally and
vertically which I liked, is it possible with this other technique?

The other thing that I am struggling to get my head around is how to set up
the CSS for the menu part of the page.

I'm fairly new to all this stuff, is it so, that CSS is heirachical. ie the
CSS above a table will take preference over the CSS over a paragraph? Because
at present I am unable to effect the text in my table. Any help would be most
gratefully recieved!

From frustrated in Berlin!

Thanks

No. If you need that, use frames. But don't use frames! 8)

Not at all.

Show me your page. I suspect you have a page rendering in quirks mode which
would mean that you need to explicitly define the table cell styles in your
CSS.
