Is it possible to center a frameset in Dreamweaver?

I am trying to center a frameset in Dreamweaver or do something to center or make my site more consistent in position.
Thank you.

Jackeltree,

It's not a question of whether this goal is possible in Dreamweaver, but
rather a question of whether it's possible in HTML. That's an important
difference!

By definition, a frameset simply loads other pages, which means the
frameset itself must fit within the browser's view port. Framesets, then,
are always 100% wide. But depending how you size the frameset's individual
frames, you can center them ... for example, you could have a center frame
set at 500px and a frame on either side set to percents such that the middle
frame appears centered.

Just be aware that framesets are arguably a thing of the past. Many
people on these forums are against them, and there are good arguments
against framesets in general. You may see a few reply posts to that effect.

I hate them, seriously they bug me, I'm having nightmares and a lot of
people that are close to me are seeing weird behaviour patterns from me when
I've been on a framed site. I was involved in a fight just yesterday with
lollipop lady, I just lashed out at her, it was only after this incident
that it occurred to me that I had visited a framed site just 15 mins prior
to this.

Can I sue?



Cheers

Pablo

No, I was just replying to that effect, amazingly as you had predicted.

I know, lets lobby the w3c to deprecate the frame tag.
BTW Murray is God! I don't have much hair left but he's just help save the
last vestigages.

Many designers still love framesets because it is the only reliable way
to have your navigation and branding always on screen.

As long as the alternatives are buggy frames are no thing of the past.
Just another tool in the toolbox.
