I am having an alignment problem. I have got 2 corner Chrismas ornaments on my page at the top - inserted as one jpeg. I then have a text box with a logo and some text between the corner graphcs. I cannot get everything to center align onto the page....what an I doing wrong?
 
URL ?

Hi
I think the easiest way to do this on your site is to create a new table
with three rows. Then recreate the jpeg with some more space on the left,
how much space you have to figure out by testing, the space is for placing
the picture in the center. Insert the jpeg as a background picture in the
TABLE (not the cell). Insert the logo in the second row and center it, match
the hight of the first row so the logo in second row is placed wher you want
it. Then insert the text in the third row and center it. Probably the
christmas jpeg is repeated vertical so either you can insert a bgcolor in
the third row to overwrite the picture in the third cell or if that´s not
enough recretae the jpeg again with some more space at the bottom, the space
is for filling up with nothing instead of repeating the picture. Maybe there
is a better way to do this but this is how I use to deal with it in FP2000.
Try to do the table with a fixed height and not with percent, with percent
it may be a risk that the bg picture will be repeated if the table gets to
high.

The problem with inserting images as a table background means that NS users
will not see it, better to do it as cell background image.

Ok as Thomas said it´s not a good idea to insert the bg in the table (I
didn´t know this netscape problem).
Instead you could first create a table with one row insert the bg picture in
the CELL and then insert a new three row table in the the first table an do
as before.

are you using <align="center"> tag? (as the most basic way of doing it)

Note the spelling "center" not "centre".

or if using FP's gui, click the icon button for "centre".

can we see your page? provide an URL?
