I’m trying to make a site about 400px high, which is center aligned both vertically and horizontally.
The actual site content will all be contained in a single strip about 400px high and 100% width. Above and below this strip should be a background fill. I need the background colour to be able to stretch and grow with different browser windows, but the main content strip remains at 400px and always remains centered in the browser.
I thought I might clarify that I know the religion music site is a flash application, Im not looking to build that. I just want to know how to get my site centered vertically and horinzontally.
So far I have a black background and page alignment on none. Then I made a 1px html box filled with yellow, I set this to 100% width and set it positioned 50% from the top. This is fine, however, I need my yellow html box to be 350px high and when I do that its not right. The reason is, freeway is measuring the top of my html box 50% down the page…I need to the measure the 50% from the centre of my html.

However, I tried it on a 10" laptop and the logo is getting chopped off halfway. Also, on some screens set to 1280 x 800 the logo is almost touching the top of the browser window.
Yeah I made it less than 500 high so even people on 800 x 600 would get the effect of the centered site, but Id say 2/10 people are having problems viewing it.
I don’t understand it at all, is there some other factor that contributes to whether it will work or not?
Not sure without seeing the FW file but there may be things that you can do to help.
1 being setting the initial, max and min scale amounts in File>Document Setup>iPhone - that should take care of the iphone/ipad users.
It looks OK in IE8 - haven’t tried lesser versions but have a look with NetRenderer Moved
I think that you are going to have to make your navigation Tab wider to accommodate the sub menus over single lines rather than being split over 2. And the Services bit seems to have slipped down.
Looks ok in all versions of IE apart from 5.5. That doesnt bother me though, anyone with a browser that old doesn’t deserve to see my site!
Yeah I have everything looking better now, but I have had to plac the services HTML box out of line with the others in Freeway…so that when I preview it, it looks in line. Why is this?
