How do I center a Xoops site?

Guys I'm strugling with my own theme. I want to center it, and I still haven't found a way to fix it. Looking to other themes won't help me so far so I wanted to ask this in the newbie section.

What am I doing wrong on this site.

Your syle sheet may be overriding your html tag in your top table.

If you add this to your "middle" table, it should center itself.



  <table cellspacing="0" [b]align="center">[/b]
    <tr>
      <td id="leftcolumn">

        


Hope that helps...

Well, firefox is showing the website like I wanted correctly. I'm still not sure what is going on.

But then I've another question. In my css I can't find a clue where to remove the lines that are around my boxes on the 'startpage'.

Anybody?

Technical reason: IE incorrectly cascades the text-align property to block level child elements.

Workaround: Take a look at CSS Centering 101 which will explain the technique.

Per your second question, in Firefox you can get information about how a page is rendered (what css rules are being applied) by using the DOM Inspector (Tools->DOM Inspector)

More Info:

Some interesting options you said there.

The fastest solution for me was to take an excisting theme that was already centered. I applied my theme on it an it seems to work perfectly now.
