Hello,

How do I align a layer, so it will stay in the center of the browswer when it get maximize. There is no option for that in the properties....

Thanks

If you're saying you want a css-positioned layer to always be positioned dead-center when the browser window's resized, you can't really do it w/o some trickery. Reason? Since CSS positions elements based on their relative position to the upper left corner of the window/screen, positioned layers will usually always keep their same position in relation to that corner no matter what size the window is at.

Javascript is usually the best way to get this done, but fortunately Al and Gerry over at Project VII have also made their 'Layout Designer 2' extension available for free here so you don't have to code it all yourself:

The 'screen' option should be just what you're after... very cool extension.

thanks. it is a great extension. But, how do you mke the layer center as soon as the page loads. there is no onLoad event to select on the bahavior panel. and even if I put the code manually it does not work.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Have you tried making a layer at 100%, y=0, x= whatever. Then putting a table cell inside the layer and align it center. Then putting your content in the table cell? The cell will move according to the browser window size <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sorry, make that x=0, y=whatever...
