Hi there, my first post.

I'm a real newbie and for the past few weeks I've been getting to grips with xhtml & CSS. I'd be grateful if you would have a look at my first attempts and give me some feedback. There are 2 things that are bugging me at the moment. The first is that I have created the page 800X600 and I want it to be placed in the middle of the screen. At present it is to the left. Secondly, the text within the paragraphs wraps differently in Opera, IE and Netscape. Are there any things that I need to know to overcome/fix this?

Many thanks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld papadelta :)

Uhm, you might want to visit the TOS [webmasterworld.com] and read what it says, especially about URL Drops.

You may still have time to edit it before the mods do.

id change the listapart tab graphics. they stand out a mile.

[papadelta]

Oops. Thanks, I will read them now.

Which browser are you viewing with. The tabs are good in Opera, at least on my PC.

[benihana]

yep ive got opera too. they look fine, but what i meant was they look almost identical to the ones in the tutorial, and alot of people will recognise them.

What tutorial? ;-)

Okay, so I'll mod them but I learnt a lot. However, the padding/margin thing of my text is irritating me. Any ideas?

[benihana]

hmm. not sure.

id get some (brief) relevent code snippets, and head over to the css forum.

Different browsers WILL wrap text slightly differently and there is no way to force it that I know of. The only recourse is to test, or to allow enough flexibility in the layout that differences in wrapping don't matter.
