Mac IE 5.2 - center table not centered

Cindi

2004-04-30, 5:32 pm

Hi there,

I've been a hand coder for a few years and have taken a crash learning
experience in Dreamweaver and css to put this site together. The problem
I'm encountering is with the Portfolio section in which I've used css in all
three frames....the other pages have css applied to fonts only.

Anyway, in Mac IE 5.2 the file are off to the left and not even all the way
left, just not centered. Is there a work around? Fingers crossed....real
hard!

Here's the portfolio section link:
http://www.focusdesigncreative.com/...folioframe.html

I created a separate css file for each page (because it was easier as a
newbie to css). If you wouldn't mind just looking at least one css file,
here it is:
http://www.focusdesigncreative.com/...e/css/print.css

Thank you,

Cindi

The good news is that this is not the case in Safari.

I guess it's too late to say that you would not be having this problem
without the frames, no?

With regard to the center frame, there are these comments -

1. The doctype on the page is broken (DMX - type DTD). Either fix it or
remove it -

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

2. There is *no* CSS in the center frame's source page, and the body has no
margins defined - BUT, the table has the align attribute set to "center",
whereas the other tables do not. Try setting them all to "center" -

<table cellspacing="0"> vs.

<table width="780" height="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#999966">

I dont' know but this css looks fine:

table {
width:780px;
height:50px;
background:#cccc99;
text-align: center;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
table td {
text-align:right;
padding:0px;
border-width: 0;
}

Unless border-width: 0; is incorrect.

I think the problem is with the imagemaps. The header and footer are
off to the right, but margin-righ:auto; margin-left:auto; width:768px;
works in IE 5.2.
