Web Designers Help! - Don't Laugh At Me! :)

Hi Guys,

I am looking for some help with the HTML of my website.

It is probably very simple, anyway the problem is that when you load my site in firefox it is fine.

However when you load it up in IE the bottom table appears to the left.

Why is this happening when it is meant to be centered!

Here is the site link (not finished yet)

Thanks for any help in advance.

All the best

Chris

    Chris,
    That is probably IE issue .. Netscape, Safari, FireFox look the same to me...

    Maybe we should get together on our WordPress Products .. huh ?

    Just put <center> </center> tags around your table and it should resolve the issue.

    Just a note for thoase using IE 8, its a very buggy release and even a well constructed site might look like a mess.

    put align="center" in the table ...

    that should fix it and should look fine with any browser.

    The <div align="center">...</div> is meant to center itself not its content. But DIV's by default is already 100% in width. So there's no more centering for DIV's unless you set a width with CSS to the DIV.

    If you want to use <div> for centering, you should use something like this...

    <div style="text-align: center">...</div>

    But this can cause other problems like unintended centering of text in other areas. In your case, with the table, just do align="center" in the table tag...

    <table id="table2" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="720" align="center">

      IE is still not a standards compliant browser, and many WP themes continue to provide additional CSS for IE users.

      With that said, experiment with various tags such as <center></center>, or <div align="center">, <p align="middle">. and so on.

      Just be sure to close all corresponding tags accordingly after the page element </div>, </p>, etc.

      Then use both Firefox and IE together to test your changes.

      Welcome to the wonderful world of web design!
