    <plea>i need html help</plea>

    howdy all - im not the most fluent when it comes to scary web page speak, and was wondering if anyone could solve my issue.

    i want to have something smack in the center of the page, no matter how the window is resized. i can get it to be centered horizontally by doing:

    <p align="center"></p>

    but i dont know how to get it centered vertically (half way down the page) too
    thanks in advance for your help

    There are better ways, but I'd just make a table and set it up that way.

    Edit; I mean like this:
    code:

    
<html>
    
<head><title>Untitled Document</title></head>
    

    
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    
 <table align="center" height="95%"><tr valign="center">
    
 <td height="95%"><div align="center">
    
 <br>Hello<br>
    
 </div></td></tr></table>
    
</body>
    
</html>

        Its just easier to use the div allign tags like this:
        <html>
        <head>
        </head>
        <body>
        <div allign="center">
        <table>
        ::your stuff here::
        </table>
        </div>
        </body>
        </html>

          We're talking about vertical alignment, not horizontal alignment, last I checked. But, in DIV you can use the style property as well(if spelled correctly, of course). On a related note, the align property of DIV is deprecated in HTML 4.0 and upwards.

                  for center all the time no matter what use:

                  <center>

                  then close anything you wanted to be centered with this tag:

                  </center>

                  simple eh?!!

                          this is really a lot easier to be explained in the time it has taken. if, after all of this, you're still stuck, http://www.pagetutor.com/ should help

                            I'm quite rusty, but I'm sure <td> tags don't support onMouseOver (pretty sure caps are important as well).

                            Try putting the onMouseOver event on the content of the <td> tag, and the ID on the <td> tag itself.

                              hmmm....I see what you mean...

                              Heres a bit of code from one of my pages that has a mouseover effect;

                              <code>
                              <A>
                              onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image35','','etek_home21.gif',1)"
                              onmouseout=MM_swapImgRestore()
                              href="http://workingbase.htm"><IMG
                              onmouseover="MM_showHideLayers
                              height=20 src="etek_home21.gif" width=96 border=0
                              name=Image35></A>
                              <code>
                              As you can see you need the 'href' for it to work, other wise it doesn't know that it is a hover reference. I think your right on the tags though I'm not to sure.
                              Anyway for it to work as a hyper link your going to need the 'href'
