Can anyone help please ? I have added a dropdown box in my Forum, with links to take the User to other sites. In IE, it appears in the middle of the page (which is where I want it to be) however in Firefox, the Dropdown box aligns left. This is the code I added to the Navigation buttons file: <p align="center"> <form name="hop"> <select name="choose" onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"> <option selected>FTL - Links</option> <option value="http://fromthelane.co.uk/Forumguidelines.htm">FTL Forum guidlines</option> <option value="http://topspurs.com">Topspurs.com</option> <option value="http://www.fromthelane.co.uk/Affiliates/index.htm">FTL affiliates - Support your Message board</option> <option value="http://asongforledley.co.uk">A song for Ledley</option> <option value="http://fromthelane.co.uk/Robbointerview.htm">FTL's Paul Robinson interview</option> <option value="http://coys.sportsmaestros.com/index.php">COYS Messageboard</option> <option value="http://www.tottenhamtrust.com/">THST</option> <option value="http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/index.asp">Official Spurs site</option> <option value="http://home.skysports.com/">Sky Sports</option> <option value="http://www.newsnow.co.uk/newsfeed/?name=Tottenham+Hotspur">NewsNow</option> <option value="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/">BBC Sport</option> </select> </form> </p> http://www.fromthelane.co.uk/forum/default.asp - And here is the result (the Dropdown box is marked "FTL - Links") Can anyone tell me why it aligns left in Firefox please and more importantly, how to get it to align in the Centre ? You might think I should know what I am doing after putting that code in, but someone told me what to do  Cheers. |

Try <div> tags instead of <p> tags eg:- <div align="center"> ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The way I learned is to use view source in web pages. Running Dreamweaver in split screen mode may also help, as you can see the HTML as it is created. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
