What is the best way to make the default theme "fixed-width"? Can't Post
Afternoon everyone..
I have decided to work with the default theme as a starting point for my website. What I was hoping to find out from the gurus here is what is the best way to make the width "fixed width" and left justified.

Is it as simple as this?

<table width=774 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>

Thanks in Advance....

That should work fine for setting a "fixed-width". If you want to align it to the left try the following.

<div align=left>
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=774>

Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to help. :)

Actually, it will be aligned left by default if you remove the <div align=center> right below the body tag. : )

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate the help!

I made changes to the general.html file stores in the index directory. I set the fixed-width @ 768 and rather than deleteing the reference to center, I changed it to left. I uploaded the file, went to setup option and publish all and the result is this..

Can someone take a quick look at the code or maybe this is familiar to someone more experienced than I.



I used Dreamweaver 4.1 to make the changes to the width and HomeSite 5 to make the change from Center to Left, if that helps..



Thanks again Guys!
