A centered div remains centered regardless of resolution. If you mean sizing of the browser window, then what you have should keep it centered by using 'auto' on root.

Hello.
The issue is quite known: you have a block-level container holding a
set of floated elements and you need that the container's content
height take the floated elements' dimensions into consideration. E.g.:
<div class="images">
<div class="image"><img src="example1.png" width="160" height="120"
alt=""></div>
<div class="image"><img src="example2.png" width="160" height="120"

Is it possible to lock the aspect ratio of container using CSS?
For example, have a <div> that is resized according to the size of the
browser window, but remains square, regardless of it's size.
In the sample code that follows, I have set the width and height of the
<div> to be 75%, however the height of the height does not vary with the
size of the content window. If it did vary, it probably wouldn't give
the desired results because...

I placed the following code in my html file
window.resizeTo(1000,700)
window.moveTo((screen.availWidth/2)-(1000/2),(availHeight/2)-(700/2));
The resize seems to work fine, however, the move does not seem to work.
Tested under IE6 and firefox.
I wish the browser to resize and centre on screen when the user goes to my
site.

Hi,
Is there any way to specify which monitor a Window.open() will launch a
new browser window in on systems with more than one display. It would
only need to work with Mozilla browsers, and not IE. Thanks!

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
