Can't center my header

[katie hunter]

Hey,

I am trying to center my header but it just doesn't work, i tried playing around and still didn't get how to center it.

or trying to use a bigger banner , width wise

I can't even use a bigger banner =/ current default width 516, if i use a banner around 700 width, it doesn't show it all, it only show it until the 516 width, i tried to edit the header code from 516 to 700 and the banner was even more messed up.

Header code

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="296"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" width="516" border="0"></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><td valign="top" width="296"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" width="516" border="0"></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

Can something like this be done to the Forum Jump also, to center it?

[Reecey]

i will just check how i centered the header on my forum ill post back or edit.

[edit] yeh that should work

[SpreadingLight]

Thanks for checking. Now I have to see how exactly I modify the code to work with $forumjump.

I tried

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center">
$forumjump (and all the rest of the forumjump code)
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and the forumjump menu was aligned to the left.

The code worked at this neat test table html window:

There seems to be some code aligning the forumjump code to the left.


ADD: apologies for interrupting the thread I had thought the original question was solved.

I've tried it but it didn't work. It is so buggy and the guy who made it , didn't tell me how to center it.

Briefly looking over your code the <td> tags are out of place. While the code (below) may not resolve the entire issue it will make things more managable:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div style="margin:0 auto">
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg">
<tr valign="top">
<td align="$stylevar[left]" width="516px"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" border="0" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- /logo -->
 
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open
 
$_phpinclude_output

After you apply these changes we can go from there. Since I don't have the URL to your site I'll need to see the images:

header_bg.jpg
header_left.jpg
header_right.jpg

do ya want me to give it a go on your forum link me to it and make me a user make me admin and restrict my perms to styles and languages and send me the info via pm of password sit link and username and ill give it a go

Seriously, you don't need admin access to fix the issue. I can help you without it.
