Hi,

I'm using AT .8 on Postnuke 0.75 and just built a new theme, with customized pages for various modules and blocks. BTW, excellent theming module AT is, very versatile.

However, I've encountered a problem with the alignment of the PNphpBB2 forum. In my code for this page I've specified the following in the table:

code:


align="center" valign="top">

But the forum still centers itself halfway down the page like this page:

I cant understand why this is happening if the table is set to valign to top!

Please help!

Syrus

align and valign don't work in tables - they need to be in the <td> immediately preceding the table.

Actually, align="center" does work on tables... but if the table is in a <td> then you need to apply it to the <td>

Hmmm - I didn't know that worked in a table John. Thanks for the clarification.

That was just a factoid

...the real clarification is that even though it works, it should be avoided. I'm pretty sure it's a deprecated method for upcoming standards, but can't recall from memory...

Not to worry though, it'll be a long, long time before everything is encased in <div>s and positioned that way. (And I'm sure we'll find some way around it...)
