 Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 2:13 am div alignment problem in firefox |
 |

Hi,
New to this site.
I been banging my head against the wall for 2 days now trying to figure this out...
I'm redesigning a friends site. Nothing complicated.
I've run into a problem though. In IE7 everything looks as intended, however in firefox the div holding my main page content refuses to obey the...
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
commands in the external style sheet intended to center it on the page. It sets up to the left and won't budge. The div immediately above it on the page is also set for auto margins and centers itself nicely as I want it to.
Why was does one play nice and one not?
I've tried more tweaks to more elements both on the page code and in the css than I can list, and validated everything using the w3c css and html code validators. Still, nothing will get this to display as intended in FF. I'm stumped.
Since I'm in the process of redesigning this site not all pages will express the problem. You should see it here: www.toponoetikos.com/people.html (using firefox). If you want to see how I intend it to look use IE7.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

There is no main container to hold all elements. Firefox is actually displaying correctly and IE is not. Give this a try
| Code: |
css
body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#container {
width:950px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#outerwrapper {height: auto;}
#thumbtable {text-align: center;}
#copyright {
color: #666666;
font-size: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.header {
font-size: 16px;
color: #666666;
}
.header a {
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.plus {
font-size: 22px;
color: #666666;
}
.plus a {
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.plusdormant {
font-size: 22px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
html
<div id="container">
<div id="outerwrapper">
<table width="950" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
</table>
</div>
<div id="thumbtable">
<table border="0" cellpadding="22">
</table>
</div>
<div id="copyright">All images on this website © 2008 Mark Daniels. All rights reserved.</div>
</div> |

your input re the container was right on the money and I can learn more than a few things from your effective and efficient css.
Also FF apparently didn't like that i hadn't defined a width for table holding the central images.
thanks again
