The result is that the thumbs are cut off: in stead of crossing the right border the pics are still aligned at the same position in the scroll block but the peace that normally crosses the border of the block is chopped off. The thumbs finally stay in the block, but are not centered en chopped off...

But thanks for the suggestions anyway.

My findings exactly Zjerre.

Thanks for trying to work this out trip, I appreciate it.

I agree with tripmon that the script 'center' value is significant. Don't know what the two zero values do.

On the DIV effort, equal padding seems to improve things in IE. The amount to use I suppose really depends on the block width minus the thumbnail width. Often it's just a case of getting the maths right. With XOOPS default theme I found this looks passable in Firefox and IE, but IE is mis-aligned.

O.k. This works (for me) in Firefox (Mac and PC) with a few themes that I have, in a *left* block. Puts the thumbs in the centre both vertically and horizontally. Basically just added a para tag to the anchor with a margin offset.


I also un-checked 'Show captions' in the template setup screen and changed the placeholder DIV back to it's original state:


Best I can do I'm afraid (to be honest, I'm tempted to turn the bloody thing off!)

Third edit (sigh) It seems to work in a *right* block too, but unlike the left block which seems pretty much the same from theme to theme, in the right block it depends on the theme whether it works or not. Looks roughly right for example in phpkaos. Must be down to how the theme designer creates this column - DIVs or tables or both?. Also the scroller will invade the centre of the screen if you re-size the window, but this would happen anyway.

Sorry to say but, left block looks like a good place to put this!

This has been an old problem since you all have been talking with in January, 2005. Anyway, may I contribute a bit experience here around?

This problem can be solved by change the leftblock or rightblock where you placed the scrolling block. Change the style.css file for

.body {text-align: left;}
to
/*.body {text-align: left;}*/
would cancel the function of tract the contents to the left side of any html table. Therefore, set the content to text-align:left would works well for the scrolling block.

I had the exact problem, and found it is associated with certain themes. In the the style.css of the theme, I chaged the width setting of the left/right column from pix to %, it greatly improved and worked in both IE and Mozilla.
