HTML question: opt-in form not centered in Firefox

Chris Freville · 05-14-2009, 07:51 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to get my opt-in form centered in the page on my website:

index

In IE it shows fine but in Firefox its shifted to the left.

Any HTML experts willing to help me out?

Thanks
Chris

Just center that particular table which holds the form:

Where you have...

I just tried doing that and it hasn't worked.

For some reason the align="center" is in a different place to yours.

Not sure what you mean there, Chris.

align="center" is what you need to add to that table to center it (in firefox).
(currently you have a redundant center="" in there that does nothing)

Best,
Adam

Thanks - I think I've sorted it.

I was putting align="center" as part of my style command. I've now made it separate to the style tag but still part of the table command.

What was very frustrating for me was trying to do this via Frontpage. I only managed to make the changes manually. Changing them using the "center icon" in FP seemed to have no effect.

Thanks again

For future reference; if you'd like to do it VIA styles you can use the following:

margin: 0 auto;

Hope this is helpful.

add:

text-align:center

attribute to your style... see if that works

Another IE vs. Firefox tip is that IE will try to fix unmatched tags while Firefox won't. This might cause a page to display OK in IE but not FF.

Or use

HTML Code:

<p align="center">Something rather content</p>
