    Default help needed! slideshow stays absolute!!

    Hey hello,
    I am a new user of these forums, and quite new to the world of webdesigning. I am making a website for a friend, and it's quite finished now, but....

    I created a lot of layers in a dreamweaver document, and i forgot to make it relative or something like that. The site is aligning more to the right on smaller screens. after a lot of puzzeling i found a way to center the pages. but there is a slight problem my friend insists on using Frontpage for updating his gallery because he has to upload a lot of pics every week, He uses the slideshow of FP, now i have the problem that all is relative because off the 'wrapper' i created, but the slideshow is not.

    Can anyone tell me how i can adjust this so that the slideshow will stay within the wrapper?????

    could anyone who is willing to reply make the reply in simple words i am not that great a designer.

    greatfully yours,

    peter molenaar

    ps. if code is needed please let me know,

    Code is needed. A link to the pages would be better.

    Looks like you solved your problem but only for a 1280px wide window. Also, be aware that the script does not work in FF or NS. If you add this script in the head of your document, it will keep things centered in any size window that is as wide or wider than your central content block, aligning left in narrower windows. I've already configured the script to your page currently at the link listed in your previous post:

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">

      Things like special or temporary elements used by

    hey John,

    thanx for your reply, it works almost excelent. by the way sorry for this late reaction but i was on a holiday, so i was'nt around for a while.

    the reason why it works 'almost' perfectly is that during the page load the page centres right and after finishing loading it will jump back into the centre. can I do anything about that?

    i would love to hear if that is possible.

    adjusted and all you can view the site on www.carrosseriebouwjansen.nl.

    so if you are willing to help me you can see what the problem is.

    greetings peter

    hey john,

    it might be something related to the the speed of the internet connection, i have just a 1200 kb dsl line, on the bigger pages like: http://www.carrosseriebouwjansen.nl/Gallery.htm it is positioned right till the page is loaded. on 56kb/s connections it is really disturbing.

    do you have any idea what i can doo about it?

    greetings peter

    Well, let's define 'right'. The script I supplied you with does the following:

    1 ) Determines the horizontal position of your content relative to a particular window width, in this case 1280px. I chose that one because your content was centered at that width (centered is generally considered a good thing).

    2 ) Determines the actual width of the window, and once the page is loaded, centers it at that window width, if possible, if not, it puts it on the left side of the window.

    3 ) If the window size changes while the page is being viewed, the script detects that and centers the content again, if possible.

    If you do not want your content centered, do not use this script, and if not, how do you want the content aligned? The lag time on a slow connection is unavoidable because the script must have all of the elements on your page rendered to know where they are and where to put them. I tested out your pages at various window widths and the script is doing what it is designed to do and to my eye, the pages look good. As I say, if you want something else, don't use the script. Also, if you want your content all on the left, that should be easy enough, just eliminate everything that pushes it toward the center to begin with.

    hey john,

    i wanted exactly what your script does, i just thought that there was a way to make the page centered the wrapper first and than render the rest of the content within the wrapper. but it is indeed depending on the connection speed and the souplicity of the pc. if the pc is running slow it shows on the page. never the less, it is allright for my purposes. but i hoped that i could make him center first , before rendering etc.

    my regards,


    peter
