Why is "Body" all the way to the right?

The table is at 100% / center. I’ve even tried right, left, and no change.

Im using Dreamweaver CS4 and when I save the file “Save As” it centers it, but when test in my browser, it’s to the right.

What is going on?
Thanks,
Scotty

When you say table, are you using an html table, or is it being done with CSS?

The body is not to the right at all. Why do you think it is?

btw, your markup was deprecated in 1999. You really need to learn CSS.

I guess someone should tell DreamWeaver ;)

And, ahem, for future reference: When you're posting your html and/or css, be selective. It is very very unlikely that your meta tags will have any bearing on the problem you're posting about, so they can safely be cut.

Conversely: include files are either irrelevant or essential. Either way they are part of the page that users will see, so you need to look at the final code, with all includes. That means opening the page from a server, either "live" or a pseudo-server like WAMP, and looking at that code. You can then chop out the parts that have no effect on page layout, and keep the others. Here, the only one I'd wonder about is
<?php include_once 'mgpheader_template.php'; ?>
since it's in the body, before the table. The other two are probably irrelevant.

That's the generic "you", not the OP specifically.

I think the prob lies within the CSS file. If you going do as Lucy24 suggested and view the source of the page. Paste here what appears between <body></body> and also the CSS file.
