Centreing the main Page

**Jude** · 1 Apr 2009, 02:41 AM

The site is at www.happycreations.com.au/products

I am having trouble centreing the main page. Also in mozilla it looks fine but in explorer when you go into the any of the categories the products run 'off the edge' of the page cutting out some of the text. I don't want to keep reducing the text size down too much - their has to be a better way I am just struggling to locate it at the moment.

any help on these formatting issues would be much appreciated.

thanks

Jude

Looks centered and products look fine also????

**Jude** · 1 Apr 2009, 04:26 AM

what browser are you using?

looks fine in mozilla/firefox as I said but in Internet Explorer it doesn't....that is indeed my problem.

The only thing that I see that may be mis-interpreted by IE is in the following entry in your stylesheet.css
Highlighted and emphasized by me

Code:

.centerColumn, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo, #bannerThree, #bannerFour, #bannerFive, #bannerSix {
	padding: 0.8em;]
	font-size: 12px;
	}

Try removing this and see if this might assist??

the problem is here

<img height="1" width="4" alt="" src="includes/templates/template_default/images/pixel_trans.gif"/>

image is 1x1 but width of cell is set to 4px, you need to change it to 1px so IE shows it correctly ..

being TM , you need to figure where that is been set in template

also , take some time and read about Override .. as you are now using template_default , any update to your site might effect your custom template and any modification that has been done to it .

Thanks a lot tony_sar

You are right. I have solved the img width issue in my tpl_main_page file and now I can fix all with simple padding and margin adjustements.

Thanks for your help

IE is not able to validate your site , thus rendering as broken box model .. that might be the reason for left justified . here seems to be the problem

your doc type

<title>Happy Creations</title><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
the title tag , is effecting your doc type .. fix that ..

**dbltoe** · 11 Apr 2009, 04:55 PM

What Tony means by fixing is that the <!Doctype.. should go first in the document. Then title and all other items after it.
