Andrew from Momentify here, saw a few visits from this link here in our analytics so I figured I’d check out what this site was all about.

If you need help with any of the coding/practices we use on our sites feel free to shoot me and email.

Sounds like you’re asking about an elastic layout- but not real sure by your description.

Cheers,

This site has a static width, but is centered in the browser. The
quickest way to do it would be to set a background image on the entire
page that tiles horizontally, then set the page to center in the
Inspector. That will get you a page that performs the same way as the
Momentify home page.

If you want a site to scale in the browser while remaining centered,
then you can do almost the same thing. Start with the tiling
background, but set your page to Align: none and double-click into a
blank page to enter the Inline Layout mode. Use Insert / HTML item to
add an HTML box inside the outermost box (the PageDiv), and set that
box to have Margin: auto. This will center it. Set its width to 80% or
90% or similar, to give your page a little margin in the browser.

Now build the rest of your layout within that centered box. You’ll
need to use inline construction techniques for the rest of the page
elements. This technique is covered extensively on http://freewaytalk.net
and at http://danjasker.com in Dan’s screencasts (he refers to it as
a Box Model layout, a misnomer that has stuck).
