HTML - Table Vertical Alignment = Center, Bug.
Hello to all Forum members.
It's my first post here. I have a problem on my site using FF 2.0 and opera. When you open http://review4dummies.com/test/index.php you see it has horizontal alignment = center, but when you click on link About Us the site will move about 10 pixels to the right and of course its centered but... huh not exactly. When you browse and click on link Contact Us its back to normal. Clicking on report-a-bug does not move site too. I was checking whole code and noticed that if i add some paragraphs and blank tables to the about-us.php file everything seems to be ok. This is driving me nuts, any help will be apreciated. PS: in ie6 everyting seems to be ok. PS2: I also noticed this bug on some sites: eg. home.pl when you click on menulink "Praca" it will move horizontaly too. eg2. nazwa.pl when you click on menulink "KONTAKT" it will move too. Anybody? Best Regards! Similar TutorialsHello, I have been struggling with a "dead center" align for some time now, and because I am not such a skilled html code creator, I decided to apply for some help, I'll try to be as explicit as I can be. I have a simple html page, created with Dreamweaver CS3, and I've imported a Flash object, created with Flash 8. All I want is to align this movie horizontally as well as vertically, and when the page loads I have to send the focus to the flash movie, so that the visitor won't have to click on the flash movie in order to receive the focus. I can center align the flash like this: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <!-- PICHI Media (c) 2008 All Rights Reserved --><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Always Follow Dreams</TITLE> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><style type="text/css"> <!-- html,body { height:100%; width:100%; overflow:auto; } body,td,th { color: #000000; } body { background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(); } a:link { color: #000000; } a:visited { color: #000000; } a:hover { color: #000000; } a:active { color: #000000; } .style4 {font-size: 9px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} #apDiv1 { position:absolute; width:324px; height:25px; z-index:1; left: 354px; top: 303px; background-color: #000000; visibility: hidden; } --> </style> <script src="Scripts/AC_ActiveX.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <head> </head> <BODY> <CENTER> <DIV align=right></DIV> </CENTER> <TABLE height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" align=center border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="0" height="0" align=center vAlign=middle> <P align="center"> </script><script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','400','height','440','src','test','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','test' ); //end AC code </script><noscript> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="400" height="440" id="test" > <param name="movie" value="test.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed movie src="test.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="440"></embed> </object> </noscript></P> </TD> </TR></TBODY></TABLE> </BODY></HTML> As you can see this source code will center align both ways horizontally and vertically.

When the page loads I want to set the focus to the flash movie, and now I don't mean to remove that rectagle we all see in SP2 and IE7. No not that, that's easy to remove with some code. What I want is the actually focus in a text field in my flash movie. I can do this with the following code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body onLoad="window.document.test.focus();"> <center> <table width="100%" height="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td valign="middle" align="center"> <script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','name','test','width','400','height','440','id','test','title','test', 'src','test','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','test' ); //end AC code </script><noscript><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" name="test" width="400" height="440" id="test" title="test"> <param name="movie" value="test.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="test.swf" width="400" height="440" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="test"></embed> </object></noscript> </center> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The focus part works with this i believe: <body onLoad="window.document.test.focus();"> where TEST is the ID of my flash movie. BUT, the movie is not vertically align. It still is horizontally, but not vertically. And this is my problem. If I combine the two examples, the one where the content is dead center, and the one where I set the focus to the flash movie it won't work, and I get this error: 'window.document.test' is null or not an object This page is right now on my site: http://www.danandrei.ro And if you double click on the small browser icon from the lower left corner, you know the one that shows error messajes like "DONE but with some errors". you can see what I mean. My question is: IS IT POSSIBLE TO BOTH CENTER ALIGN, HOR AND VERT, AND ALSO SET FOCUS TO THE FLASH MOVIE ? IF SO, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY CLUE HOW ? Thank you. Is there a way to align something in the dead centre of the page? here is my code so far.

Having problems... Can move the content from the top (with margin) but cannot work out how to get the whole thing to constantly float in the middle /centre. Any help hugely appreciated. thx Hey guys! I seriously need your help!! I have searched everywhere and tried everything, but can't seem to get this to work. Basically I have a DIV tag with one line of text in it. The text needs to be in the middle of the DIV, vertical and horizontal. Now, it looks fine, except in IE, which makes me sad. Does anyone know a way to fix this? You can see the site here (please don't judge me, its not finished!) http://www.juicenothing.com/index.php It's the Lady Gaga text in the header part. Thanks!

I'm tryin' to vertically align some google adsense advertisements on an image. I got the ads to show up on the image correctly, thanks to the people here.. but I can't get'em to align vertically for some reason. Are there any alternatives for vertically aligning something?? Hi all, Newbie here. So I've built an HTML website and I want to vertically centralise it because it looks a little funny on larger screens at the moment. I have followed several tutorials worth of direction on how to do it and tables seem to be the easiest but I'm having a problem with getting the table to "fit to window". This is the table instantiation: <table align="center" width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> The problem is that the height is not working. If I change it to a specific value such as 900px then it works perfectly but it must be getting the wrong value otherwise. Has anyone encountered this before and can you help? The site is http://www.thechapelstudios.co.uk I am hoping that someone may have a solution for me - in one of my table columns I have 3 images (logos that link to sites) and I have set them with a vertical top alignment - so that when the page goes long - the logos stay at the top - this works perfectly in all browsers, except (of course) IE... would anyone know how to fix this? My site can be viewed at http://bebywebtest.9k.com/history.html ... if you click open the collapsible menus - you can see the logos - start to center themselves down the page - instead of staying at the top... <br /> </td> <td width="5" rowspan="3"> </td> <td width="380" height="179" bordercolor="#000066" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.israelbonds.ca"><img src="Images/header-march-2006.gif" alt="bonds" name="israelbonds" width="256" height="100" border="0" valign="top" id="israelbonds" /></a></div></td> </tr> SO - if anyone has any suggestions on how to remedy this fiasco - I would be most grateful! Thanks. I've got a line of text that includes some IMG tags. The images are 23 pixels high and the text is about 16 pixels high. So the IMGs increase the height of the line. Normally, Text and IMGs are aligned to "the bottom", so that the IMGs are much taller than the text. I could increase the size of the text so that it was as tall as the IMGs, but I'd rather not. I want the text to be vertically aligned to the "middle", so that the line looks better. Is that possible? Hello, I'm trying to program a couple unordered lists into my web page and I encountering a problem. I can't seem to align them with the top of the cell. They act as if there's an extra list item above the first one. Here's the URL to the page: http://www.cactusridgerr.com/CCRR/comfort.htm Here's the code for the bottom two cells with the lists in them: Code: <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <ul type="disc" style="margin: 1em;"> <li>Elegant dining room</li> <li>Fireside lounge</li> <li>Library and computer room</li> <li>Craft room & country kitchen</li> </ul> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <ul type="disc" style="margin: 1em;"> <li>Wellness and exercise spa</li> <li>Beauty salon</li> <li>Theater and multi-purpose room</li> </ul> </td> </tr> Does anyone know why they refuse to be aligned with the top of the cells? Hi, I just thought I'd jump right in with my query. I'm looking to make Text in a table cell vertical, I've come up with solution of inserting <br />'s after each letter <table> <tr><th class="green">O<br />n<br />e</th> <th>Two</th> <th>Three</th></tr> </table> but I just wanted to know, is there a way of achieving this without doing this, can I control the size of the cell with css? thanks htmlhex I need help with making a vertical scroll box w/ table just dont know the html code for a vertical scroll box.. I know the table but i dont think its right. ___ <table border="1"> <tr> <th>Heading</th> <th>Another Heading</th> </tr> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> ___ Thanx in Advance! I'm trying to create a table with two rows, the first row would align to the top of the table and the second row would align to the bottom. I don't have any problems getting the rows to align correctly, but I can't get the table to fill 100% of the allotted space (it works in firefox, but not in IE or Safari). I've read that height isn't a valid piece of code, so this is why it won't expand vertically, but does anybody have any other ideas on how I could get my rows to do what I need them to? The code I'm using basically looks like this ... <table> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> </table> Thanks I wanted to have the scrollbar in my table inside my web page instead of extending the page making it longer when I have plenty of text... This is what I have at the moment: [code]<td height="420px"> </td> <td height="420px"> <table width="100%" height="420px" border="1"> <tr> <td width="70%" valign="top" height="400px" overflow:"auto"; class="component"><jdoc:include type="component" /> </td> <td class="valign"> <table class="table1" border="0"> <tr> <td height="10px"> <div id="recent"> Recent Project </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <jdoc:include type="modules" name="recentproj" /></td> </tr></table> </td> </tr> </table> [code] Hi all! I used to use <div align="center"> (see below) and since I've started using XHTML 1.0 Transitional, align="center" has been depreciated. I have tried using css margin: 0 auto; and margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; and nothing is centering my table on a form. I have to use tables since its required on my project and there are more stuff inside the tables then my example below. But css for the div should work.. any thoughts, helps, would be greatly appreciated.
