Dreamweaver 4: How to center in browser

What's an easy way to have my page be centered on the monitor when viewing in the browser? I don't want to adjust the margins - but, I do want the page centered no matter what size monitor the user has.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for any ideas!

Re: Dreamweaver 4: How to center in browser

I suggest to wrap the site into a DIV:

<BODY>
<DIV id='site_cont' style='margin: 0 auto;'>
here goes the site content
</DIV>
</BODY>

Re: Dreamweaver 4: How to center in browser

esso illuded to the fix there. Rather than using fixed margins you should use the "auto" value for the left and right margin... E.g:
Code:
<style type="text/css">

/*i'm using body as an example, you should use a div holder like esso said*/
BODY{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
/*Also make sure that the div has a width attribute or you'll have problems with this*/
}

</style>
