image alignment

[Ruth]

According to the references there is something called imagealign. It says it will align the image relative to the item and the valid positions are left, center, right. Now, the problem is this...if one creates a horizontal menu with the following coding

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
top=100;
menualign="left";
alwaysvisible=1;
menuwidth="100%";
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=whatever;itemwidth=100;");
aI("text=whatever2;itemwidth=100;showmenu=1st;");
aI("text=whatever3;itemwidth=100;showmenu=2nd;");
aI("image=welcome.gif;imagealign=center;");
}

that image never centers in whatever space is left for that particular item. Of course there's not really anything in the item except the image, but I thought it could be made to center in whatever that item's width would become as the screen size changed? I've tried everything I could think of, including putting in the center tags, lol. but it just always goes to the left.... What I wanted to get was an image that would center in the last empty part of the menu which spans 100% so that if the window is resized it would just move to the center of that item continuously. So, how would one go about that?

Haven't tried a % figure, Ruth, but I do have this working and the image-only item is centered...

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("ByLaws")){
style=menuStyle;
itemwidth=160;
aI("text=PDF file -<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Adobe Reader required;type=header;");
aI("image=/images/getacro.gif;url=http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html;target=_new;imagealign=center;itemheight=37;status=Download Adobe Reader;");
aI("text=AEC ByLaws;url=docs/AECByLaws.pdf;status=AEC ByLaws;");
}

See it at http://azec.org/about.html under ByLaws.

Well, that's rc31 and that won't work after rc32, I don't have 33 but I have from then up, and i tried 34, 37 and that center no longer works. Also, if I can explain what I did...... I just tried a bunch of things to use the setting I had, and everything worked fine, it always centered even with the menuwidth="100%"; until I made the menu horizontal, then even if I removed the 100% it wouldn't center. And, it won't center at all with the new release candidates.

Ah, well - it would appear I have forgotten to keep them updated I'll try and do it from here (work) and let you know.

[John]

Ruth, you are, of course, correct. I just uploaded RC49 and my previously centered graphic is now flush left!

Andy - http://azec.org/about.html, AEC ByLaws menu, the Adobe graphic should (used to be) centered. Sometime ago an RC has moved it to the left. See above for the _data.

Well, since you brought it up - way too many.

Do I small a final in the wind (with appropriate fixes from there)?

[Andy]

RF50 is now up.

Do I smell a final in the wind (with appropriate fixes from there)?

Hmm, could be

Does RF mean Release Final?

[Andy]

What RF50 means is that Andy can't type properly, should have been RC50.

But since you mention it, we are going for a final within the next day or so.

Does RF mean Release Final?

Could be, Andy. Check the slightly modified comments line...

[John]

RF50 posted to azec.org and I again have a centered image!

Tank U!

What RF50 means is that Andy can't type properly, should have been RC50.

It just means Andy had it deeply on his mind when he typed the line.

No problemo...
