Fota, CSS, Centered site
Well, I spent some time looking at having the site centered in the browser window and have managed to centre the site if I use fixed width.
I will continue to play around until I see how far I get with centered, fluid.
Centered fixed-width means I have to rethink the navigation areas. Using this method means using relative positioning and having the items html coded in the order they appear on screen. This means logo, main nav, content, sub nav. Which is not ideal when using a screen reader. If I can find a way to improve for screen readers I will.
Also, the text content is fixed width - currently at 450 pixels. Which is fine for medium font size but does not resize when user changes font size.
The advantage is control over display, but is this really an illusion when that control has to be relinquished anyway once the user changes font size or resolution etc?
It *will* look better on some or even most displays, but it's not as adaptable/accessible.
