Hello, I have a problem with the <center> feature on *some* of my pages. In my article body I have:

Google Ads (small banner)
Amazon Ads (small banner)

I place these beneath my articles and they work fine... That is, they work fine *until* I try to center them.

I use the <center> & </center> feature which is fine EXCEPT the bottom portion of my text often (but not always) disappears or is otherwise swallowed by monsters.

Example:

http://www.casualtourist.com/articles/the_...olubilis_page_2

On my computer I cannot see the bottom of the text (under the second photo it *should* read: The Sun Sets at Volubilis)... it is apparently obscured by the <center> function....

When I remove the <center> feature the ads are left-centered and the bottom of my text shows fine... So, I can "fix" this by just not centering the ads but that's the lazy way out...

Is it just my computer/browser or is it my code?

Any thoughts? Thanks>

Everything looks ok from here. I'm using IE and Firefox under XP. What browser/OS are you using?

A) Thanks for checking...

I use IE 6+ and Firefox. On Firefox it's fine...

But on IE it looks ok *sometimes* but if I scroll up/down the text at the bottom of the article disappears...Hmmm. Obviously it's my computer at fault, not MT, I was hoping there was an easy fix but I guess not.

B) RELATED ISSUE:

I can't see Google ads on my computer, not even on my own website. I run java enabled etc but I must be missing some .dll or something, I dunno. My wife's computer (in same room as mine) shows the Google ads and has no display problems like the ones I have.

My guess is that my java is broken so I cant load the ads AND that must interfere with the page loading. BUT, I don't understand why the page loading error ONLY occurs when I center the ads. This is why I was hoping it was a MT bug. When I let the Google ads run left-centered my pages load fine (but I still cant see the ads). Thanks for reading...

I think the ads are loaded using Javascript (a friend has ads on his site but I haven't checked his code in a while). It's possible that you have a bad version of Javascript in your IE browser. At my last job, we had a version of Javascript that would break all of our Intranet applications. That may be what's happening. I would search around on the Microsoft site and see if you can download Javascript from them.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the message; I think you're right about this.

Side note: I'm generally very happy that I cant see ads on my computer; but on *my* website I want to know what they look like aesthetically. I think it's little things like centering etc that can really affect the look of a website... Like I said, I can remove the <center> function and everything looks fine; but if its just my computer and everyone else sees the pages fine I'm not gonna ruin that...
