    Could someone please help me with a solution as to why the full pictures and slideshow pictures are not showing in the centre of the container. Is there some code that i need to add to get them in the centre of the page. Also how can i get the entire page to be centered like the rest of the site is?

    The link to the gallery is:

    You could add this:

    text-align:center;

    to the #picture-holder style.

    Hi Richard -

    To center the layout on the screen, edit gallery.css and change the following:
    * {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    To this:
    * {
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0;
    }

    To center the full-size and slideshow images, change this:
    #picture-holder {
    /* #picture-holder contains the picture */
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px 0 0 0;
    border-top-color: #CCCCCC;
    border-right-color: #CCCCCC;
    border-bottom-color: #CCCCCC;
    border-left-color: #CCCCCC;
    }

    To this:
    #picture-holder {
    /* #picture-holder contains the picture */
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px auto 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
    border-top-color: #ccc;
    border-right-color: #ccc;
    border-bottom-color: #ccc;
    border-left-color: #ccc;
    }

    Thanks alot the big picture is now centered although the image doesnt seem to be showing properly, but simply shows a '?'?? within a small box.

    The layout is still not centered in the page. I am using Firefox/Safari on a Mac and neither browsers show the layout in the center or show the big picture properly. Could anyone give me any further help as why this could be happening?

    Richard -

    I just checked your stylesheet. There is an error with the implementation of both changes in your stylesheet.

    The first change that I recommended - you currently have:
    * {
    margin: 0; auto
    padding: 0;
    }

    Notice that the semi-colon is between the 0 and auto. It should be like this:
    * {
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0;
    }

    If you fix that error, then the layout will be centered on the page.

    For the second change, please copy/paste the entire change I recommended into your stylesheet to get the image centered properly.

    Once you've made those changes and uploaded your stylesheet to your server, remember to clear your cache in both browsers you use before viewing your gallery to ensure you are not loading the old version of the stylesheet.

    With regard to seeing a ? in a small box rather than the full-size image, I've checked your gallery in FF 2.0.0.17, IE6, Opera 9.5 and Safari 3.1 on a Windows machine, and I'm able to see the full-size images just fine in both navigation mode (prev/next) and in the slideshow.

    Is this issue happening for you with all of the full-size images, or just one image? Can you provide a link to a gallery page where you are seeing this so we can troubleshoot it further?

    Thanks the page is now centered although doesnt load in exactly the same position as the rest of the site but is butted up against the top of the browser instead of being slightly lowered to show the grey border around the entire page. This isnt a big deal but if there is a simple solution it would tidy the site up nicely?

    As for the pictures not loading properly - this is happening with all the images.
    A link is:

    Change this section in your stylesheet:
    * {
    margin: 0 auto
    padding: 0;
    }

    To this (copy/paste this to your stylesheet):
    * {
    margin: 5px auto;
    padding: 0;
    }

    That will restore the slight margin at the top.

    With regard to not being able to see the full-size images, go to the Options tab and, under Thumbnail Options, make sure that the box next to Allow Full Picture Access is checked. Also, what is your setting for Generate Intermediate Pictures - checked or unchecked?

    Thanks that has sorted out the problems and the intermediate picture was not checked but the allow full picture was checked. Now both are checked and the gallery appears to be working fine. Is there now anyway of getting the full picture to open up in a new window and be able to set the dimensions of that new window to fit the size of the picture?
