Positioning of layers

Hi there,
DWMX

I want to know how to position about 11 layers in such a way that it will
display the same on different screen resolutions.

This is my effort:
www.alsgroup.co.za

I want to position the whole bunch in the centre of the screen. As it is
now, I want to move them right to the middle of the screen.

Is there another way?

Regards,
Deon H

Layers always display the same at any resolution. Remember when you
increase the resolution you decrease the size of the pixel. This means that
a layer positioned 100 pixels from the left margin will appear a) smaller,
and b) closer to the left margin at 1024 than at 800....

Go to PVII - http://www.projectseven.com/ - and get LayoutDesigner2, which
will do what you want.

Or learn how to use CSS to position a wrapper <div> at the center, and then
nest your absolutely positioned layers inside....

Why not design the lot in Fireworks, export it, import into Dreamweaver
and center the page from within there.
I know, lots of Slices. But consider all the code you have now and see
if it outweighs the Fireworks method.

Sometimes Ugh is easier, not neccesarily better.
