div issue?

Gambit · 05-25-2004, 02:24 PM

Gryph, I use the Mozilla project's FireFox browser, and for some reason, when browsing the THZ forums, it takes align=center a little too personally.

Basically, what's happening is that the second table, with the forum chain link and down, has the left side cut off if my window isn't wide enough. I can't even scroll farther left to see it, though I can scroll to the right. Looking at the page source, it seems to have something to do with this code:

Code:

<div align="center">
		<div class="page" style="width:960px; text-align:left">
			<div style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px">

Now, the table with the logo at the very top is displayed correctly, and this is the only code between the tables that might be causing the problem. Don't know why. (Incidentally, seems like assuming a 960px width is a bit much...)

It shows up OK in IE, of course. Don't know if the problem is the code and IE is more forgiving or if it's a bug in FF.

Thought I'd let you know.

If your brower window is wider than 960, you wouldn't.

Hmm that is wierd, I will look into it.

Ghryphen · 05-26-2004, 10:12 AM

That make any difference?

Gambit · 05-27-2004, 08:23 AM

Ok, that caused the header area, with logo pic, to be offset the same way the forum list is. Can't see the left side unless I make my browser wider than 960.

That <div> code is default vbulletin code, the devs are usually pretty good at making it cross browser compatible. I will explore their support forums and see if there have been any issues with it.

What version Firefox, and what OS? Your monitors resolution is bigger than 960 but your viewing the site in a windowed mode that is smaller than 960?

I installed Firefox, I see what you mean. I have submitted a bug report. I will see if I can fix it if it is not too involved.

Ghryphen · 05-27-2004, 02:26 PM

Hmm looks like they think it is a Firefox bug. I will continue to see if I can find a solution.

Thanks.
