css: fixed box totally centered

[thecat@]

hi all. i'm embarking on a rush job. probono.

this morning while drooling over css links, i came across this site which offers templates to kick start the process. [dream on if one thinks a template will solve the css woes of the project :-]

www.intensivstation.ch/css/en/template.php (http://www.intensivstation.ch/css/en/template.php)

anyway, when i eagerly went to click on the download, the link is broken! AWK!!!

does anyone know of any other site with this on offer? i need to look at the css and see how they've approached the problem.

my proposed site design is here -->> www.katzidesign.com/portillo/portillo.jpg (http://www.katzidesign.com/portillo/portillo.jpg)

a very simple design [the box will bounce around on top of the green background]. after all the hard work is done, i'll convert it to templates so the client can edit it in contribute, then train up the client.

thanks in advance,

regards,
cat

I used the very same deadcentre tutorial some time back ... helped a lot.
Really like your proposed design too ... love the vibrant photos ... css should suite your design very well, and help compliment your strong work.

I used one of those a while back. Not that one though. That is how I positioned my error pages for my site.

thank-you. he's a very talented photographer so his work is a breeze to design around. [here's hoping contribute will be easy for him]

btw - does anyone know of a site with tips for designing a site to be converted to using with contribute? not for the clients, but for us. to show the limitations as what can easily be edited by clients. i can find plenty for them, none for us.
