The whole of AimHi Publishing should be centered....and out of nearly 250 pages they are all OK, expect this one! :-)

the odd page out[.........NOW FIXED THANKS].

Something is interfering with it....any ideas please?

I think I may have figured out what the problem is. In 'Page Editor','Special Effects', did you select 'Center Page Horizontally'? You may have centered the other pages and not the "odd page out". I have a couple of examples here if it helps, this is just a trial page. Hope this helps.

Hi Dave,
Don't have the time to take a proper look on the code but on a hunch it could be something connected to the bulleted text. I sometimes have positioning problems, when using buletted texts. Another thing might be some code, if you have any on that page, that you don't have on the other pages. Some changes in z-order could help to solve the problem.

Roma is correct - the error is in the code generated by your bulleted text. There is a <div align="center"> code block inserted inside your first bullet text (an error by SS) which is closed by is </div> tag outside the entire bulleted text block.

Use Bruce's time honored solution to remove the bullets, then copy & paste the test into an new text object. It may help to apply the centered text option before adding the bullets.

Also, the bulleted text, when displayed in IE extends into your "<<<BACK HOME>>>" links. The following CSS code placed in the head section should make it looks the same in all browsers:

<style type="text/css">
ul {
  margin-top: 0; margin-bottom:0;
  list-style-type:disc; list-style-position:outside;
}
li {
  margin: 0 0 0 -20;
}
</style>  

Many thanks, guys! Wonderful help as always! :-)

Thanks, Larry, for finding the error.

I've not been around too much recently and have a lot of catching up to do....see you soon!

All sorted now, thanks to you guys!

Yes,Larry....I often use Chrome and in that it looks fine - but not in IE.

The list has been copied and pasted from Dreamweaver and such copies cause problems throughout the site as SS/IE seems to treat it as a 1.5 line spacing, whereas Chrome/SS ignores it.

So I have a number of such problems to fix...on a 250 page site! Along with a fair few others.....HELP!! ;-)

The line spacing in the bulleted text is an IE issue; its just the way MS wanted to display the text (probably a hold-over from a Word enthusiast). Adding the above CSS to all the pages via an include should fix it. I see that you are using SS 2.7f, so if you are using custom headers on any pages, you will not be able to include it there as it would overwrite any existing header. (SS-Pro allows you to add custom CSS to the head section without using a custom header.) Putting it in the body should work; most modern browser parse the body for CSS before displaying the page.

Thanks for all that info Larry. I've included it in the body for now and will see what happens. If necessary I will use Pro instead.

It takes about half an hour to upload the site (fortunately audios are stored elsewhere!). Will be checking it in a while to see if it has worked.

Once again, thanks so much for your help.

Hi Larry

Just tried it. It's not working quite right yet.

There's a problem with the number bullets not showing properly:
numbers display problem

With standard bullets it doesn't seem to have solved the problem in IE so perhaps the 'header' would be best?

a problem for bullets

If you have Chrome and can view it in that, it's now shifted all except the top bullet over to the left.

I haven't used Pro properly as I didn't want to have new features/layout to learn when working on this big project, but do you think that would be best and to get your code into the header?

Many thanks

mccifa

If you already have SS Pro, open your project in that. You will get a prompt saying that it was created in an earlier version, and is not backward compatible. Click OK, then save it under a different name (just in case).

The file should open as a single layout, that is, ignoring the mobile layout. If not, or to check, go to Options > Select Project Layout Type > Single Layout: Desktop.

You will find working with Pro no different to working with Standard, except you will have all of the added features, including the code placement that Larry mentioned.

Numbered bullets are an ordered list (<ol> tag) so you need to adjust the CSS code:

<style type="text/css">
ul,ol {
  margin-top: 0; margin-bottom:0;
  list-style-position:outside;
}
li {
  margin: 0 0 0 -10;
}
</style>

You may need to play with the li margin value of -10 (decrease it) to get the desired bullet offset.
