I'm trying to use the HTML editor in the promo block and it's not working.  I want to insert a table and have it centered on the page.  There's no way to do that with the WYSIWYG and if I hand code the center command it strips it out after I save it.  Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this table centered?  It looks stupid all the way over to the left.

BTW, it saves other stuff.  I was able to go in and adjust the table width and it kept it.  Just not the center code.  And I found a work-around but it sucks as a long-term solution.

Yea, i have run into issues with tables in dolphin all the time. I usally place most of my tables that i need centered inside a div like so.

<div align="center">

<!-- Place Table Here -->

</div>


This works in most cases.

Good call on the div tags but I put them in and pressed update and it still didn't save them.  Thanks though!

Give this code a try.  Evertime you make a change. ie, add <tr>'s or <td>'s change width, height, anything!.... make sure you delete every file(except for .htaccess) in your site's /cache directory, or it won't display right.


<table style="border: 0px none; background-color: #000066; color: #ffff00; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%; height: 100px;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">Table Data</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">More Table Data</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">Even More Table Data</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">Too Much Table Data</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Stupid TinyMCE editor keeps adding that border="0" after the style tag ... go figure.

You can change the padding around the table, and border color in /templates/base/css/index.css here:

Thank you, hl, you just fixed my homepage for me!

P.S. Hey, Dolphin designers, could we get centering to work on tables in page blocks? Just, yanno, for kicks? Kthnx.

I know it's  a total pain in the a$$ but you can add the tags back in from the database side in mysql.

<div align="center"><!-- Place Table Here --></div>

this would probably work, but tinyMCE would most likely catch on that this is invalid - or rather, depreciated, code.  Try this instead -

<div style="text-align:center;"><!-- Place Table Here --></div>
