Hi guys,

Would welcome any advice you can give in relation to a little problem with viewing my site in Firefox.

When viewing in IE6, everything is fine. But... if I view the same page in Firefox, there is a problem!

That problem is the position of the photo gallery - centre aligned is correct (in IE), but in Firefox it left aligns.

See link: http://www.sealink-holyhead.com/ships/Caledonian_Princess/princess_depart.htm

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Justin

Hi Justin,
You are lucky you are using the Montage layout as that is about the only one that is really compatible with other browsers as it is just basically a table layout without any .js or stuff. The other layouts can cause problems ... but in your case you need to align the table to be center. what should work, is in normal view click on the gallery to highlight it then click on the "center" icon on the toolbar. Or if you have the gallery inside a table cell then check the table/cell is aligned to center.

Hi Malc,

Many thanks for that, but my problem is that I already do have the gallery clicked to centre. It centres just fine, but then when I go to my office computer and view the site in Firefox, the gallery is over to the left! table cell etc, all aligned to centre.

Malcom is correct--you do NOT have your table centered:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="fpGalleryTable_8762">
try this:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="fpGalleryTable_8762" align="center">

That table is actually on one of the FrontPage created gallery pages, and not really recomended to edit it as if the wizard is used again it can overwrite any customisations, but the table that contains the gallery and the text above it etc you can center that

<table border="0" width="77%" id="table1">

right click inside your content just above the gallery and select table properties and make the horizontal alignment to center. Dont touch the "float" option.
Alternatively you can create a once cell tabel which you center then move the gallery into it so it then works independenly of anything else on the page.

good catch--I forgot about the probability of overwrite

Hi guys,

Really appreciate your advice and suggestions.

Malc, i have tried following your last suggestion, but no matter how many times I right click around the area of the gallery within Table Properties i get the same result - it is already center aligned.

So, i tried right clicking inside Cell Properties and see the vertical alignment tab you mentioned. I have selected center, so will see what the result is when i get to the office!!

Many thanks!

Justin

Well guys, i tried that, but to no avail. I now thinking this is just one of those glitches when viewing the finished site in anything other than IE. But many thanks for your answers - much appreciated.

Justin
