}

text-align is not supposed to work for the div. Internet Explorer wrongly aligns everything, not just text, when using text-align. That is not part of the strict standards! If you replace your div with a table, problem solved.

So in essence, it's IE that happens to be the only browser that displays the code incorrectly.

Pwned! :)

Or an unrelated note. IE was the only browser to display this code as I had intended it to.

<table width="100%" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="center" align="center">
<img src="splash.jpg" usemap="#splashmap" style="border-style:none" width="624" height="546" />
</td></tr></table>
Click to expand...

names of images changed. I also tried valign="middle".

Vertical and horizontal centering of an image without CSS is a pain. Both FF and Opera centered it in the top.

I did eventually get the problem resolved though. Took me some time on google and some CSS code copying, but it's working now :p

Then again, I WAS coding it all from hand with notepad and only one class to my credit. It wasn't a bad try :(

Trying to put the entire page in a one cell table and centering vertically and horizontally all of its contents.

I suck at hand coding HTML :(

What's funny is if you view the straight HTML source between both "demo's" for the centering, that it's 2 complete different sources, the one that displays Firefox not being centered is obviously not centered as he didn't put a center cue tab in the topic display title. Netscape needs the specified cue.

Why firefox sucks


Looking back, I should title it "why firefox users suck" but oh well. What are your thoughts? Am I wrong about this?

As I Firefox user, I don't think I'll be able to live knowing you don't like me. Putz.

I like Fire Fox. At first I didn't. But after I tried it I started to like it. The thing I like most is I feel safer using it. But on top of that the buttons are very easy to use. I can tab browse, quick click my favorites, and update with cool third party addons that really make the browser usefull.

When I first saw this thread, I wasn't going to reply. Lots of people were quick to point out that using the "text-align" property in the CSS document would not center the table, so I just kept an eye on this thread. Then I decided to visit the link posted by the OP and I found that it had changed a little bit and contained something mildly amusing. firefox-sucks.htm is not entirely W3C Compliant. The program validating the code is the HTML Validation extension for FireFox found at Mozilla Update. The fact that I pointed out a small error in the otherwise compliant page may seem nitpicky, but if you're going to make a claim about writing 100% W3C compliant pages.....

Holy c ripes - this guy claims to be a CS grad, yet fails to understand the difference between a syntax error and a logic error???

I don't know CSS, but the fact that W3C validator likes it means nothing. It's like first time programmer bitching that his program doesn't work even though it compiled ok.
I can write plenty of syntactically perfect C++ that doesn't solve the problem at hand. I do it all the time actually :p

It's been less than an hour since his post. I wouldn't call failure "admit his mistake" yet.

I was talking about his other mistake.

Bingo! I honestly don't know how he made it through any accreditied college's CS program without being able to understand the difference.

Wow, you are doing that well with IE without needing any other programs to help IE work properly?

One word.... WOW!

Right on! That was the exact concept I had in my head, but I didn't have those simple words for it when I made my previous post in this thread.

Deeko says that because he is a strict windows programmer. He is going to school for it, and will forever be confined to its limitations.
Ask him how to compile a kernel....

I still haven't found any real alternatives yet. Except konqueror, but I don't know how well that works on Windows.
