Centered page?

[bram]

Ok, I want to make by os commerce site centered on the page and have it set with a fixed dimension width. Can I do that using one of the templates in the contributions? If so any suggestions which one. If not, can you direct me to finding out where I can do this?

 

Thanks in advance.

os commerce site centered on the page

Bad idea, a standard shop is already always nicely filling 100% of my screen at any resolution

Why waste part of my screen for which I paid a lot of money?

Give me details (content) not coloured space left and right.

 

Can I do that using one of the templates in the contributions?

Yes you can if you must

Cause I'm a designer and I want it for my portfolio. You can't tell me something like this doesn't look good http://www.uugiftstore.com/

Blake,

 

osC-Center Shop v2.1 for MS.2 is one particular contribution that all a lot of people have used.

Personally, and like a lot of other people as well, I had way too much trouble getting Center Shop to function properly (or, completely I should say).

I much rather preferred finding and using Dead Easy Center Thingy (yes, that's what it's called). It worked like a charm :).

1/ On the web reliable, quick, dense info and a lot of it is desired. DTP (on paper) is for glossy magazines. Art is in a museum.

2/ My PC screen is not yr piece of paper, webdesign is different from DTP or painting.

3/ Yr link: don't like it.

3/ Read up on "liquid design" for the web. Look for, search (low left) for a start on: <http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl> e.g.

<http://www.allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?AnySizeDesign> and Google for the term "liquid design" and read up on the topic.

4/ The only result of all "centered" shops is: different sized coloured spaces left and right from the actual content and is in no way different from any other so called "centered" design, so what have you gained from the exercise?

New ways on improving the actual osco-design (CSS) of the actual content (HTML) is asked for, exemple: <http://www.csszengarden.com/>

Jwsfun,

thanks for answering my question at hand. Thanks for thoughts about your experiences and what other have had as well.

 

berkedam,

I'm not here to debate what your opinion is about page width or the definition of art. This thread was intended to answer a question. If you can't answer the question I don't need nor want your 2 cents of wasting my time. Go waste your breath where someone wants to listen about your nonrelevant opinions.

That was Dead Easy!

I'm not here to debate what your opinion is about page width or the definition of art. This thread was intended to answer a question. If you can't answer the question [1] I don't need nor want [2] your 2 cents of wasting my time. Go [3] waste your breath where someone wants to listen about your nonrelevant opinions.

 

You lazely asked a question without making the slightest effort in finding out for yourself whether or not template contributions were suitable, probably assuming or under the impression that this forum is free helpdesk obliged to provide answers for your petty problems?

 

You don't have a lot of webexperience is it?

[1] You got my answer in an earlier post.

[2] What you want is of no importance in a forum.

[3] Instructions? More rude you can hardly become.

[4] FYI: opinions are free on the web if you don't like it stick to DTP.

Whatever, have fun wasting your own time responding. Good job making a moutain out of a mole hill.
