div tag won't stay put

I have had to insert a secondary nav menu in the middle of my home page. I have inserted inside a div tag. Can someone please tell me how I can get the positioning of this tag to automatically change to the browser settings. i.e on my 24" screen as I see everything as lined up. But if I look at it on another computer it shows as being misaligned. Same if I make the browser smaller on my 24". I have the div tag set to absolute. I know there is a simple way to do this. I just can't seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. www.livingtrue2me.com

Hiya,

In design view, select the entire apDiv7 div. In the CSS panel, delete the 'position' property. With the div still highlighted, ctrl + X to cut it, place your cursor where you want it to go, then ctrl + V to paste it in.

Select the div again, and in the CSS panel add the property 'margin' = auto.

You may want to remove one or more of the ' ' (spaces) and add top and bottom margins for exact horizontal positioning.
