I have a site designed in divs and aligned to the left of the page. Done in Visual Web Developer.
I want to centre the whole site in the middle of the page, is there any way to quickly do it without redesigning the entire site?

Thanks
 
Place it in a container, then use the following HTML & CSS to align that to the center:

HTML:
<div id="container"></div>

CSS:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: [as per requirement]px;
}
 
Yeah, always place your site inside one main div.

I usually use this code:

#container {
position: relative;
width: 800px;
margin: auto;
}
 
Ok thanks alot, that helped.. but how do i get the entire site to move up so its flush with the top of the browser ie no white space showing above the site
also how would i get the table to not show the gaps between the table places you see in design view, want it to be flush but theres gaps around each cell

Thanks

u need to set the margin to be zero

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
 
or if you're sticking to xhtml/css guidelines, create a style for body with margin-top:0 and margin-bottom:0.
 
I usually copy and paste this as soon as i start a site:

body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
}

And as for your tables, just make sure that in your table tag you have:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></table>
