Good to know you want to learn HTML and CSS. 1. As a web developer the first thing you must do is to create a wrapper that will center the whole website so that even the user zoom-in or zoom-out the webpage it will not mess up. In your case try to zoom out your webpage and the background will divided into chunks although your web contents are centered. 2. I saw your cascading style sheets here http://shiftro.com/styles.css on the html style why don't you use no-repeat for the background so that it will not be divided in to chunks when zoomed out. On the body part, why you use margin: 0 0; where you can actually put margin: 0; and the rest are good. But i will credit your css because you consider cross-browser compatibility codes. Anyway since you are just starting off with web development. I will assume this is a good start. Keep up the good work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: i managed to fix some of my issues with adding content boxes but i still cant figure out how to prevent it from shifting when zooming in or out.

Why don't you use no-repeat on your background so that it will not divide into chunks. Regarding the shifting it's fixed already i guess. lol. try to use no-repeat and i will check again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then as for containers, this is what I usually do: <div id="container" style="width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto;"> <div id="left" style="width: 200px; float: left;">lkasdjalksdjaklsd</div> <div id="right" style="width: 200px; float: right;">lkasjdlkasjdqwidc</div> <div id="center_contentbox" style="width: 580px; margin: 0 auto;"> alksdaklsjdlk </div> </div> That's my suggestion for a 3-column design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not use a wrapper class then put all your contents inside it? So the CSS would be probably like this : body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } .wrapper { width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; } So that when the webpage is zoomed out the whole webpage will stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
