This is about as simple as I can make it. If you look at this with 800x600 it looks perfect. If you switch to 1024x768 it's not right. I enclosed this in the script you gave me but I'm still not getting it right. Maybe I'm not coding the <applet> correctly. Anyway, getting close..need your help, please.

Hi Rudy,

First of all, your doctype doesn't look good. It should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

When I run the page, I see nothing but the menu because I don't have the .zip file for the Java Applet. What is the applet supposed to do? Do you really need applets? If I were you, I'd consider dropping the applet and use plain XHTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Also, the applet has a fixed width so it won't resize.

I changed this in my original post code.

I removed the applet and inserted an image. You will not see the image but should see it's outline. What I am wanting to do here is end up with the image centered on the page, between the menu on the left and the right margin of the screen. Then changed to different screen resolutions and it should look positioned correctly at whatever resolution I set my screen to.

If you cut and paste my post with the code, I have made the changes that I mentioned above.

Add the following CSS selector to your <style> tag:

#ContentArea
{
text-align:center;
}

Chis will center the contents of the <div> with an id of ContentArea.
No matter how large you make your screen size, the image will be centered between the menu and the right edge of the browser.

Is this what you're after?

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Imar, that did the trick. Checked with several different resolution settings and it looks great in every one.

Thanks for all your help :)
