Cannot get a page to CENTER....

**mmgorman** · 11-15-2013

Guys..

I cannot get this page to center. I suspect that my son (many years ago) build this page as a Custom page. For some reason it will not "center."

http://www.wiscorp.com/products.html

Can anybody help me here.

Mike Gorman

When I go to the page via NO13, the page, under Layout Properties has the "Center in Browser" checked.
When I press the "HTML button" it consists of:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Title of Page will be generated by NetObjects Fusion 2013. </TITLE>


</HEAD>
<BODY NetObjects Fusion 2013 Generated BODY Parameters

>



</BODY>
</HTML>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't center a page that uses "Fixed Layout" as it was called years ago when the site was created.

You need to switch to HTML 4.01 with tables or HTML 5 in Fusion 2013.

Chuck:

Thanks for the quick reply. When I did as you suggested, HTML 4.01 with tables and HTML 5, and thereafter pressed the Preview button, two things resulted:

1) The page remained LEFT adjusted, not centered.
2) When I hovered over the hot-spots, the italics text only once or so appeared in the middle. The other instances of the text were on the very far right of the page.

I sure wanted your suggestion to work.

It does work.

You're seeing more than I am. When I go to your URL, it's a blank page.

I saw that you were using fixed layout by looking at the page source.

There are other issues apparently.

The products.html page has java-script. Is it possible that you don't have java enabled? Just shooting in the dark here....

A clean miss. (-;

Javascript and Java are two very different animals.

I never disable Javascript in browsers and Java is installed. Or Fusion wouldn't work.

I just checked in IE11 and your content is there, aligned to the left.

In Firefox 25, it doesn't display at all.

yes, the page is using html 4.01 (fixed)

it could be that you selected html 4.01 and tables in current site settings but you may have accidentally set the html output in the layout properties to 4.01, make sure it says site settings

Anton:

I have the Layout Properties set to HTML 4.01. When I preview that, I can wander around the hot spots and see the text and the common area at the bottom.

If I change the Layout Properties to Site Settings, then 1) It is still left adjusted, and 2) the hot-spot texts do not consistently appear.

On Layout Properties, the Center in Browser is checked.

If I were to Manually direct the page to be CENTERED, WHERE would I do that?

When I press the HTML button, I see: ("~~~") is my text to bracket the HTML text.
