Optimising a website for both explorer and firefox?

I have a website designed on 'frontpage' html at 800x600pixels. At screensize 1024x768 it appears in the centre of the screen in explorer but in firefox it appears on the left side. Can some body in a simple and through step by step instructions guide me so that the site appears in the centre of the screen in a firefox browser. Thanks

Wrap the contents of the tag in a containing div:

The rest of your page

If that doesn't work you have conflicting code and I'll need to see it to fix it.

Virtually any centering method should be browser independent. Microsoft has apparently used either a non-standard HTML extension, or is taking advantage of some CSS bug in IE.

It depends on whether you are using tables or CSS for positioning. For CSS, you can use

your content here

For tables,

your content here

Either of the above creates a centered region 80% of screen width.

To centre a table use align=center or the CSS equivalent. If you just banged text into frontpage it would display the same on both browsers.

there's no specific answer, because you need to provide some sort of script.
