Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that someone is able to help me. I'm using a container that I downloaded from the old skinning competition website, but it looks like there is a slight bug with it. I'm not overly familiar with skinning, so I'm hoping that someone is able to help me. What happens is this: When I apply the container, all the text in all the containers become left aligned, but still keeping their centre alignment.

That sounds contradictory, I'll try again, everything that should be centred is centred, but then moved to the left of the container, so that according to the text above and below, everything is in the middle, but it is not in the middle of the container.

The html file in the container is as follows:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" id="table1">
 <tr>
  <td width="14" height="46" background="topleft.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  <TD BACKGROUND="topmid.gif" HEIGHT=46 ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>
   <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
    <TR HEIGHT=6><TD COLSPAN=3></TD></TR>
    <TR><TD VALIGN=TOP>[VISIBILITY]</TD><TD>[ACTIONS]</TD><TD ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=MIDDLE>  [TITLE]</TD></TR>
   </TABLE>
  </TD>
  <td background="topright.gif" width="14">&nbsp;</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td width="14" background="left.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  <TD>
   <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
    <TR><TD id="ContentPane" runat="server"></TD></TR>
   </TABLE>
  </TD>

  <td background="right.gif">&nbsp;</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td width="14" background="bLeft.gif" height="24">&nbsp;</td>
  <td background="bMid.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  <td background="bright.gif">&nbsp;</td>
 </tr>
</table>

 

Is anyone able to suggest a reason why I might be having difficulty? I would be extremely grateful!

Thank you,

Pete

Also, don't forget to review your CSS to make sure it's deprecating correctly, if an ID or Class has the align attribute defined, it could be cascading down and preventing other alignments. Just my $0.02.

This is an issue with both the container and skin. The skin defines the area a container lives in, but the container defines what width it uses. Usually containers use 100% width, but they don't have to.
