I need help aligning all of this to the center and having it all match up and not have any space between any elements at all and have the footer squeeze to fit everything else. This is the church website once again: kirbychurch.org and this is taking up to much of my time to do for free.

Ok. Well ive sat down and messed with it and i have everything almost perfect except for the footer which I believe I can fix and but I cannot figure out for the life of me whats wrong with the padding or margin. Look at the flash header there is more on one side than the other. Now in the flash movie there is built in white space. I didnt build it so I cant edit it. Sucks. But bruno did it before to where it was even and now I can figure out how he did it. Help please?

So you want to centre the footer?
CODE
div#siteinfo { width: 780px; margin: 0 auto }


As for the Flash header alignment: the Flash item itself appears to contain white-space on the left side. That would unbalance the perceived alignment.

Pick up Firebug, press "Inspect", and see for yourself. wink.gif

What bits and pieces exactly need fixing? Just the footer?
What do you want the footer to look like?

Can you post a graphic as to what you are trying to achieve so we can match it? thanks

I already mentioned the header itself already has whitespace. I am trying to get the whole page to center and align correctly on each side and have even white space on each side.

Er...

It looks fine to me. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I feel like we are chasing our tails. The site is centered. Do you need to refresh your computer?

To center the header add this to your css.

CODE
#header {
    margin: 0 auto;
}


To the #news and #events divs add this:
CODE
margin-right: 20px;

That will get the gray box off the right margin.

To the #content change your margin to this:
CODE
margin: 0px 0px 5px 20px;

This will equal the right margin above where we moved the gray boxes over a bit.

On the div#siteinfo you currently have a width of 780px which is what you want the width to be. However by adding the 3 pixels of padding to top/right/left/bottom you actually have added 6 extra pixels to the width (3px right + 3px left) So reduce the width to 774px.

To siteinfo.one add some left padding so that all the text lines up from the top of the website to the bottom of the website.
add
CODE
padding-left: 20px;


I think that should settle up all your alignment issues. But if it doesn't just let us know!

The site is centered. Yes. But the space beside the flash header is bigger on one side than the other. I would take a screenshot but screengrab doesnt do flash.

Like all the other elements you centered, in the css give the header a width and use margin: 0 auto;
