Hello,
The website I am working on displays correctly on my monitor, which uses a widescreen monitor. However, when I checked it from another computer's monitor with a square screen, some parts at the very right do not fit, and the user has to scroll to right in order to see them, which does not look very good.
How do you autocenter the whole website, for any screen? And the total width of the website, should it be a fixed width or liquid... If so how do you achieve liquid width for the whole site?
I mean all my elements on my website uses divs with absolute positioning. So it seems that if I want to autocenter, now I should not use absolute positioning anymore correct? In that case how do I do that? There are may be 50+ divs I need to change then....OR may be I dont need to change any absolute positioning divs at all, but put the whole website in an iframe, which is autocentered AND its width is small enough to account for square screens too...Is my thinking correct? How do people generally deal with this issue?

Absolute positioning is generally a bad idea, especially if you want a fluid layout.
