align center not working in IE

[tshad]

I have the following:

<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="center" width="103" colspan=2 nowrap>
<asp:Button ID="ViewPositions" runat="server" Text="View Positions"
OnClick="ViewPositions_Click" />
<asp:LinkButton text="Advanced" onClick="Advanced_Click"
runat="server"/>
</td>
</tr>

In Mozilla, it works as I expected the button in the center with the
linkbutton next to it.

In IE, it puts the Button to the right with the LinkButton below it?????

Why is this?

Tom:
Not sure I fully understand what the problem is and what you want to get,
but try remove the space between the elements:

<asp:Button ID="ViewPositions" runat="server" Text="View Positions"
OnClick="ViewPositions_Click" /><asp:LinkButton text="Advanced"
onClick="Advanced_Click" runat="server"/>

might not show up well in the newsgroup..but just don't put the asp:button
and the asp:linkbutton on separate pages...actually glue them together (or
use a &nbsp if you want a space between them.

That doesn't seem to help.

Here is the viewsource from the page after it is rendered:

<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="center" width="103" colspan=2 nowrap>
<input type="submit" name="ViewPositions" value="View Positions"
id="ViewPositions" /><a
href="javascript:__doPostBack('_ctl0','')">Advanced</a>
</td>
</tr>

It shows that the cell should be aligned center and the linkbutton should be
next to the submit button (which it is in Mozilla) - but not in IE.

That's funny...it works for me in IE and not in Firefox

to get it working in firefox, I had to add:

style="white-space:nowrap;" in the TD else it would wrap to the next
line....

Might you be having a style having some effect on it? or perhaps another
table cell is the problem? What happens when you totally simplify it?

<table>
<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="center" width="103" nowrap="nowrap">
<input type="submit" name="ViewPositions" value="View Positions"
id="ViewPositions" /><a
href="javascript:__doPostBack('_ctl0','')">Advanced</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
