text alignment in tables

Specifically/currently, i have a table heading (in merged cells acorss 3 columns in a single row) that is set for center alignment, but when i preview it or out put, it shifts to the left and shifts the text to 2 lines instead of one as if the cells aren't merged.I checked the HTML coding, andit looks fine (says that alignment is center).

Why is this happening.. and no, the tables wasn't imported. The table was created in RH.

HELP AND THANKS!

Looks like it may be an issue with the fixed width of the column...

Go to the true code and try removing the attribute 'width: 85.1pt;'
This attribute is part of the tag <td colspan=3..........................

Does that fix the problem?

Try changing the heading to normal style or something else. Does that make a difference? If it does, it suggests there is something in the style definition that is overriding things.

Try creating a new topic and using one of the supplied stylesheets. Create a similar table and see if that has the same problem.

Hi kb. Does the same behaviour occur if you cut and paste the table into another topic? If so, try changing the style to normal.

ok, here is the latest...

i tried chancing the heading style to "normal" in the style sheet... no difference... it still won't align center in the preview.

and yes, I have the table set up in a separate topic (since this problem began) so i can play with it and see the true code on its own without worrying about surrounding text, etc... and no luck there... :-(

the other thing.. i'm not sure if this matters.. but it might... there are 2 heading rows in this table. The text with the problem is the top heaading row. The text in the row below it aligns fine. go figure...

i have noticed this now in ALL my tables... it isn't just this one.... both heading rows use the same style as well.

any new ideas?

THANKS for what you've suggested so far!

Hi Kb,

any chance of pasting the code for us to look at?
Just the <table> tag code will do

thanks

In RH HTML there is no menu option to define header rows. Presumably therefore you have added you own HTML?

sorry, Peter... OF COURSE.. you are right.. there is no option to set up header rows.. DUH... so i guess that part doesn't matter..

and no.. i'm not bright enough to set something up in HTML! :-/

so it is simply that i forgot that when i created this table weeks ago that it didn't require/allow for specific header rows.
