    Correct. Just what I wanted to show you.

    To see how it looks in lower resolutions you can simply resize the window of your browser.

    Roger your page centres on all screens from 1280x1024 upwards when the browser window is at full screen. Smaller screen resolutions or when browser windows are smaller, then the content will offset to the right on load. The user will have to scroll horizontally.

    19" 20" (1440x900) and 22" (1650x1050) wide-screen LCD's of 16:10 ratio or 16:9 ratio will also centre when the user has the browser window full screen (or above 1024 wide)

    I think it used to be 800x600 but now it's 1024x768.

    It depends on who you ask.
    Webpages are being opened on all sorts of devices these days, from mobile phones, smart phones, netbooks, notebooks and desktop PC's with any size LCD screen from 16" widescreen to 30" wide.

    Personally, I stick to max 800 wide for the content.
    Most people in my experience do not run their browsers at full scree, especially those with large wide screen monitors.
    There is code that forces a browser to go full screen on load, but this is just plain rude in my opinion, so I'd never use it.

    This problem is why I'm so torn between using "absolute position values" and the good old-fashioned "percent of screen". Using tables with "percent of screen" pretty much adjusts to fit any viewing size.

    While absolute position values seemed to give the designer more control over the look of the page, that control gets lost with the great variety of monitors/screens/resolutions. Most people find it a real pain to have to scroll sideways.

    I normally put the whole page in a cell of a 1-cell table. That way you can align it horizontally in the browser.

    I wouldn't recommend this. Using invisible tables in order to get a design is out-dated (since 2002 or so).

    If you want to learn how to avoid such things and create modern Websites with CSS instead, then read the documentation of YAML (it's nearly a book with really helpful insights).
