failed CSS

[george]

I am trying to get text align left in a td cell, and my approaches are not working here. Any suggestions?

[Scyha]

is that not left align? O.o that looks fine.

Well, currently you have:

p { text-align:center; }

So you might want to change that to be text-align:left. You're not supposed to have paragraphs in table cells anyway, so why not just take them out?

What browser are you using?

About to Synook. Thanks. BTW: the

p { text-align:center; }

is used to center the entire table, and that is working properly. But my often poor understanding of CSS logic, I had hoped that the subsequent P.classes would align the table cells. So I will try removing the classes from the P element, and apply them to the TD element instead. Thanks you guys, for helping this slow old buzzard keep learning and improving my sites.

You should actually remove that p tag and put margin: 0px auto; in the table styles. That is the correct way to center block elements (like divs, ps, and tables)

New prob on same site. Now a footer is trying to be born with a call out balloon. Got that. Now can not position text over callout balloon. Please advise. All comments and suggestions are tried out and richly appreciated. Thanks

you have to use position relative for 'product' container, then position absolute for text, then use left right properties to position the text where required.

div.product {position:relative;}span.plcement {border:thick solid #993366;left:129px;position:absolute;top:54px;}

Thank you dsonesuk, that was spot on!
