    Default Quick HELP Please!

    I have done everything to try to center the contents of the table cells on this page: http://reefscavengers.com/inverts.html

    All of the cell contents show up centered in FIREFOX, but in IE only the first row shows up centered??? I have used the td align code, and the standard center code wrapping the text in each cell but it still wont move in IE.

    Any help is very much appreciated.

    Ive been looking everywhere and trying everything but nothing is working.

    The two things that need to be fixed are:

    1) Every cell down the 2nd column (sizes) needs to be centered
    2) Every cell down the 4th column (cart buttons) needs to be centered and vertically aligned to middle.

    If anyone can take a quick look at my page source and help me fix the IE bug i would greatly appreciate it.

    First I'm only posting his as an idea to try and give a solution simply because no one who actually knows what they are doing has not. (I'm a newb) I know this isn't a true fix as to repair the problem... but here's what I see.

    Everysingle column and row except the first one is uniform. The goal is to center everything based on that first column. I did notice the size of the first row is smaller in size than the other rows. The other rows appear to all be the same height, other than the double rows. No clue if that has any effect on the issue though.

    One idea could be to either delete the first row completely, and clone the row below it and just change the data and links to fit. Once you do that, you could just fool around with resizing the columns. Expand the first and third columns some, then reduce the second and fourth columns. It would allow you to keep the same aspect for the photos, but would just move the columns to make them appear to be closer to center.

    Like I said, not a programming fix by any means, just a perceptual fix.

    The reason is because the first row you have set the size to width="140",
    all the other rows are set to width="70"
    Change them all to 140 and you'll be in business!

    or just delete the size of all the other rows (except the first) and the size of the top row will dictate the rest!

    Hope this helps!

    p.s. your html is very messy, you should try tidying it up abit.

    Heh so I was kinda right... deleting the first row woulda remedied it... granted I had no idea that I was kinda right, or why... After the html is messy comment I'm afraid people will be throwing rotten vegtables, fruit, and eggs at the monitor when I asked for the review of my site

    thanks very much, im working on correcting it now.

    one more quick question...notice in firefox the table rows are thinner and in IE they are thicker? how can i correct that? also, if anyone has used the paypal shopping cart buttons on a website, how did you get rid of that extra space that is left under the button when you embed it in a table cell? thanks in advance!
