centering images

[al jones]

actually two questions here. Johnathan gave me a clean version of what I
had earlier (thank you, sir). Now I've added some more content and things
are going awry.

1st) The text beginning 'version' and 'mission' should be in the navigation
area (light blue) on the left - I cn't seem to get it there.

2nd) The image 'Ribbon Cutting' should be centered in the right (content)
panel. Again I can't see how to do it.

God I'm glad I don't do this for a living ....

Why did you suddenly in the middle of a list put
style="margin-left: 0px; width: 194px;" into just the second from
the end item?

Actually i have not been folowing this one but, perhaps try
putting <div id="navbar"> instead of for the ul. It is the whole
div that needs to pick up the styles wanted, surely. Your two
paras here need to be rethought. Perhaps with lower headings and
paras styled to suit.

Then your should apply the "navbar" class to the conating DIV not the UL!

#navbar {
margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both; float: left;
width: 11em;
color: #000; background-color: #5cb3ff;
}

#navbar UL { margin: .5em; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li>...

2nd) The image 'Ribbon Cutting' should be centered in the right (content)
panel. Again I can't see how to do it.

#ribbon { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }

Help yourself out a bit first and get the basics, go through the

There is a 3rd issue you shouldn't ignore. That is, how it looks when
the window is less than about 900px wide. In an 800px window, it's
pretty messy.

Next time please put http:// on that so newsreaders will recognize it as
a URL. It's a lot easier to click on a link instead of copy/paste it out
of the post. tia

Maybe you don't do it for a living, but you seem to be doing enough of
it where you should learn more on your own. Mr Little gave you some good
advice. I hope you take it.

I've been loudly informed of that - also that the hands should have the
same color background as the header background and the grey should be a
lighter grey and ....

I guess if my friends are going to call on me then I'd better. My own web
site is still getting cleaned up (I extracted text from the DOC files and
am gradualy getting it converted to web) ... so I guess people think I know
what I'm doing - are they in for a shock!
