Center the Content of a Blank Sidebox

Hi,

i want to center the Button of HelpZilla Live Support in my Sidebox..

i tried everything with <center> </center and <div align="center">

I hope someone of you professional out there has a anser for me...

Thanks in advance...

Here is the Code of the tpl_blank_box.php

$content = '<div class="sideBoxContent">';

$blank_box_content .= '<!-- <http://www.LiveZilla.net> Chat Button Link Code --><a href="http://www.meineseitee.com/store/livezilla/livezilla.php" target="_blank"><center><img src="http://www.meineseite/store/livezilla/image.php?id=03" width="179" height="51" border="0" alt="LiveZilla Live Help"></a></center><a href="http://www.livezilla.net"></a><!-- <http://www.LiveZilla.net> Chat Button Link Code --></center><br/>';

$content .= $blank_box_content;

$content .= '</div>';

The image is specified as width="179". How wide is your sidebar? In what way is the content not centering? We need to see it live to give the right answer.

The Paypal logo sidebox has a very similar structure.
try this:
Place a <center> tag just before <div class="sideBoxContent">
and a </center> tag just after the <br /> tag from your code.
Hope it helps, cheers!

Center tags are deprecated, i.e. no longer valid html and browsers are not obligated to support them, so not a good idea if you want a solution that works in all browsers and will continue to do so.

As Glenn says, we really need to see the problem in context to advise on the most appropriate solution.

Thanks for your fast answers ! you can see it live at http://174.121.182.162/~iphon117/i4_store/

its just a fresh store.. we want to launch it next month !

you find the supportbox where i want to center the button/image on the left !

I'm afraid that you're going to have no end of trouble wrestling that template into submission.

The box that you're working on appears to have 12 levels of nested divs most of which do nothing except get in the way.

There are two main obstacles to centering the image. The padding on the padding on "#blankbox .box-body" pushes everything to the right, and the image you are using is bigger than the width available so also overflows to the right.

You may want to discuss with your template vendor how all the unnecessary divs can be stripped out to make the template manageable.

In your stylesheet_boxes.css, you have duplicated the padding that is applied to other boxes when you don't want it here.```
/* ----------------------- LISTING BOXES ------------------------- */

#blankbox .box-body{ padding:11px 20px 16px 31px;}

/* change to */
#blankbox .box-body{ padding:11px 0 16px;}
