Help!! Center Div

Hi everyone!

I would like to center my page but I can't find how to do it. Anyone has an idea?
The main Div (#apDiv3)
The others div are inside the main div

If I leave it like that the only one centered is the Div3 :(

Thanks!!

body {
	background-color: #FFCC99;
}
#apDiv3 {
	position:absolute;
	left:50%;
	top:50%;
	width:1100px;
	height:650px;
	z-index:1;
	margin-top: -325px;
	margin-left: -550px;
	right: auto;
	bottom: auto;
	background-color: #3F3151;
}
#apDiv1 {
	position:absolute;
	left:481px;
	top:310px;
	width:435px;
	height:291px;

	position:absolute;
	left:482px;
	top:281px;
	width:486px;

Hi,

Change it to the following

#apDiv3 {
position:relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width:1100px;
height:650px;
z-index:1;
background-color: #3F3151;
}

You should really try keep your container 960, check out this link

Thanks!

Yes, you're right. It's much better 960 px. :)

The problem now is that the main DIV is centered but all the DIVs inside this main Div do not move if I make the windows bigger. Do you see what I mean? It is normal?

#apDiv3 {
position:relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width:960px;
height:650px;
z-index:1;
background-color: #3F3151;
}
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:481px;
top:310px;
width:435px;
height:291px;
z-index:2;
}
#apDiv4 {
position:absolute;
left:482px;
top:281px;
width:486px;
height:38px;
z-index:3;
}
#apDiv5 {
position:absolute;
left:300px;
top:212px;
width:436px;
height:655px;
z-index:4;
}
#apDiv6 {
position:absolute;
left:262px;
top:285px;
width:197px;
height:302px;
z-index:4;
}

Oh, thats because they positioned absolutely... do you mind adding the html as well? so i can take a look and sort it out for you

Thank you very much!

That is all what I have. Do you think it is possible? I think I really have to learn how to do this HTML correctly from the beginning...

You could try to put the div in the good old center tag.
Hope that helps!
