[WEB4LIB] Centering Web Page

Wed Nov 17 15:56:02 EST 1999

Matthew,

Add <div> tags between the <body></body> tags.  That will align
everything in the center although I'm not sure it will give you the look
you want.  I like the look of index2.html.

<body background="images/bground.gif" text="#000000" link="#008080"
vlink="#6600CC" topmargin="0">
<div align=center>
....
</map>
</div>
</body>
