I have tried everything I know to do to the source code on our "Honor Our Military" page, but I cannot get the table with the pictures of military cemeteries to move to the left. I have made the table smaller in width; have changed the width on some of the YouTube videos below it to no avail. The tables above with our military classmates names is just fine. What am I not seeing that is causing this to be on the right edge of the white space?

OK, it is fixed. You usually don't want to use the "Align" attribute with a table. It doesn't mean what you would think it means. It means if you choose "Align-'center'", it means the table is centered, but THE TEXT WRAPS ON BOTH SIDES. If the align=left, that means the table is left, BUT TEXT AFTER THE TABLE WRAPS ON THE RIGHT.

You might need to still do a little adjusting.

Hi Kyle,

Thank you very much for straightening out that problem. It looks much better now. You and your cohorts are awesome!!

Please help w/ the table I'm creating. I'm using Create New Announcement as a work space, and the table is named "liberty bell."
The left column is fine & all photos & captions are fine, but the right column SAYS it's 300 pixels - which is what I want. But it's WAAAYYYY over 300. I've removed the "align" settings -- with no change. I've checked each cell. The Table Properties says it's 588. No way. I don't know what else to do.

I know you'll fix it if you can, but please let me know what I did wrong so I'll learn something. Thanks much!

Dale,

Your pictures in the 2nd column were too wide. Even though you said the table width was 'width="300" ', since you didn't set the width on the images in the 2nd column, they were taking up the whole space, which was more than 300. I set a width attribute inside of the images and it fixed it. I also removed some non-blank spaces in the top-right table cell.

Hmmm. Thought I checked the picture attributes, but apparently not. Thanks much for the fix-it!

Ok, one more question & I'll go dormant for a while. Can you check my table, now that you've fixed the right margin problem? In the Edit mode (Announcements: "liberty bell"), all the text fits where I want it & is the size I want.

In regular mode, some of the font is way too small & looks like a stupid fit in the 4 boxes. Why , oh, Wise One, do I get 2 different views of this table?

Can you be more specific than "some". What is the exact text that looks strange to you? What browser are you using?

Using IE. In regular mode, the text looks a size smaller than I created in Edit mode. All except 2 paragraphs in the 3rd row, I think, are so small, they don't take up enough of the box I typed them in, and the "breaks" between one box & another (text) don't look like natural breaks (too much space at bottom of one box to justify breaking article at that location, & continuing into the next box.

Am I to infer that you're not seeing it the way I'm seeing it? Does the table look the same in both modes? If so, why do I see such a big difference? This isn't the first time I've run into this. It's very difficult to correct because, in this case, in Edit mode, I can't fit the text into those 4 boxes by enlarging the font.

If you look at your SOURCE code, you will see that some places, like around the word "Dance", you have
font color="#0000ff" size="2"
codes in other places, you have
span style="font-size: x-small;"

If you want all of the text to appear the same size, you should use the same font codes.

Yes, I saw that and wondered if that made the difference. But I know almost nothing about code except what I've picked up in the last 10 months as an admin here, so I have NO idea how 2 different codes got in there. I don't speak code; I just clicked the tool bar while adding text, so I'm totally in the dark as to how/why the difference.

I'll go back & highlight all the text & choose x-small. But in my mind is still the question: why do I see larger text in Edit mode & smaller in regular mode? Is it an IE quirk?

I don't know why either.

Wow. Major cognitive dissonance.
Well, when even the experts don't know, I just chalk it up to trolls.

Last question re this ------- table: On your screen, does the REGULAR mode look the same as the Edit Mode? I don't know which screen to believe.

I use FireFox and I opened the EDITOR in one window and the VIEW of the announcement in the other page. Both looked identical to me.

I think you copied the text from somewhere (maybe a newspaper) because there is an unnatural break in the word "attendance" and it is between "atten" and "dance" that the font changes. (on the 3rd row).

Well, I'm glad to know SOMEONE is seeing it the way I intended. This time I didn't copy text from anything. I typed it myself to avoid any Copy problems, ironically. I re-typed "attendance" last night.

Thanks for taking a look -- and correcting the margin problem.
