HI there, i just wanted to know a couple of probably very basic things with step by step instructions using icon steps in DW. (not html as am a newbie and understand the steps easier :-)

1-how do you centre a page in dreamweaver so its always in the middle of the screen with the background color either side of it, regardless of what sized screen its vieiwed on. u can see this link of another persons site as an example of what im trying to recreate
http://www.mackay.remax.com.au/

2- how do i make the background behind the centred bit a different color

3- how do i make the page sidebar scroll bar a color to match my site rather than the standard windows default color.

4- as per the previous website link. how do i put photos into my site to change exactly every couple of seconds like they are in that site as it doesnt appear to be flash. is there an easier way as i dont know flash either

hope someone can help :D

1. go Insert > table set table width to 750 pixel, margin = 0 , cellpad = 0 cellspace=0
Hit OK. Have table selected and down it properties panel set Align to center and this will center the table on your page.
2 - While same table is selected in properties panel change background color to whatever you want.
here's sample:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>

<body>
<table width="750" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
