[SOLVED] Centering table problem -- ok in IE, problem in safari and firefox

Post by jevoliva »

I am completely banging my head against the keyboard. www.hooksrx.com/cms is our site. I have setup a footer in the global content box. About the normal contact info, copyright, and CMS info, I have inserted a table of logos which are linked to websites which we are involved with. I have it nice and clean for users of IE (which I use at work to edit the pages) but for safari or firefox (which I use at home to edit pages) the table is left justified instead of centered. I have went as far as placing around the whole thing and that still does not work. What the heck am I missing?

As a side note, I LOVE CMSMS.... after fooling around with several CMS programs, I have found the CMSMS is the most intuitive one to use. Kudos to everyone involved in this project.

Thanks in advance!

John

Well besides having a bunch of errors in the table, I would have used the div and just set the images in one after the other then you could change this to do what you need but here it is anyway...

To center something it needs a width...

#footer table{width:680px; margin:0px auto}

yeah, I tried to use div, but got frustrated. I am _usually_ more adept at using tables....

Not to be a smart arse, but wouldn't not having the width set affect ALL browsers? Not just safart and firefox? I am on an windows laptop right now and IE is looking fine. Maybe IE is just that smart? :)

Thanks,

John

I thought it _might_ be, since I was only having the problem in two browsers, not all of them. If the problem was across all browsers, I would have _known_ it was my fault. Since it was presenting this way, I did not know for sure...

Sorry for the post... go ahead and move it to the wasteland thread if need be...

Mark,

I just went in and inserted the logos one by one and center justified them all and then centered the whole row. Looks like that works.

Thanks for the help..

John
