By "page" I assume you mean browser canvas area.
Why would you want to? Does your client want this? If so then your client
needs some education on how a web page actually works. Do all of your leters
home to your Mother sit in the very middle of your peice of paper? Nope. You
start at the top and finish wherever you finish.

This is the default browser behaviour.

Consider that what you want is not part of the media you are writing to?
HTML (and the CSS that style it) is about laying out stuff top to bottom,
left to right, on a canvas, the canvas your viewer allows you to draw in.
Nothing more. You are trying for the *more* and it won't happen easily.
