On the main front page the menus on the left seem to have been centre-justifed which has misaligned all the times of ATC bookings on the list making it a bit messy to read. You can't just scan down the list of times and positions. I assume it's a slight oversight cos it makes it a pain to check the bookings list before planning a flight (and I'm sure you don't want to put peope off reading it!).

I read and this and thought of a brilliant song:


Anywhoo! Thanks for pointing it out- I'll take a look.

Amazing aren't they...

I love the KLF, the fact that they came on stage at a Brits show once with blood covered dead sheep makes them heroes.

Being justified and ancient meself (and the owner of plenty of their stuff, although 'Chill Out' was awful), what do we think about the centre-justification of the bookings on the front page?! Or is it just Doctorin the Tardis?

They look fine to me Mr Casey, what browser do you use?

[Bill Casey]

See below. Not too messy a one due to a lot of mentoring but the GD_TWR one shows how misaligned it can get sometimes. This is IE9 (and I aint changing).

[Harry Williams VATUK9]

Well then...

Thats interesting, anywho they are justified to the left as I can very well see coded and when called on the website.

In the Belfast TMA event info someone has tried to <center> the article without canceling the code after with </center>, I've got it on line 58.

Out of interest, why not change?

Correct! Bill, how's it looking now? If it's still broken, then I'm sure you can wait a week for the new site?

Much better Uncle Anthony, looks all proper like now I was sure it wasn't just me!

@Chris - because I have absolutely no need to.

Interesting that. My Firefox 4 browser was not showing that effect - all left justified as expected. But now the EGNX entries are in a larger font making them wrap around.

Doesn't hurt to experiment though =]. Ya never know, you may prefer one of the other browsers. You should try some for a prolonged period of time just to see what they're like; if you prefer IE then fair enough =P.

@ Mike. FF handles CSS code correctly, or in a different way depending on how one prefers to look at it, where as IE wont accept a line of CSS code which centers content. IE forces you to align everything to the center and then set the containers content to align left - which is bloody retarded. FF allows you to set the right and left margins to "auto" meaning it will center the content container between its parameters and no "aligning" of content is required. I hope that makes sense =S

The reason Mr Casey is (I think) viewing centered content is because the "container" hasn't had its content re-aligned to the left so IE is just aligning it to the center.

Chris - no sir, the reason is that the code didn't work with the browser that the vast majority of people use.

[Matt Davies]

MY BAD! Sorry.

I will double check my own code next time... (although, I think It was just copied and pasted from another article).

Sorrrrrry!

Nooooooooo - http://www.w3schools...wsers_stats.asp



I don't use any of them listed, either! (I love not being a statistic...)

[Chris Doherty]

I think you'll find the code is correct and the browsers handle it differently. In my opinion IE handles it incorrectly and in a stupid manner, but never the less that's just my very well educated opinion.

And that's not actually your code Matt is it?

[Matt Davies]

Nope, just checked - copied and pasted from previous. I'll not be lazy next time and do it myself.
