Supefamicom Flyers (and some help w/ cheesy HTML)

**GaijinPunch** · 10-16-2003, 08:38 AM

Added a superfamicom flyer section to my site:
http://www.classicgaming.com/japangaming

Go to the bonus section, then the print ads section from there.
When you get there, you'll notice that there's a decent-sized top and left margin, even though I"m using the tags to set it to zero.

I load the page in Frontpage, and it looks okay in edit mode, but preview mode shows me what you see in Internet Explorer. It's a little off-centered and crowded I think, and would like to fix it. Mars bar (or maybe a game-related something) in the mail for anyone that can pinpoint the problem.

FYI: It's Perl that generates the HTML, but either way, it comes out wrong.

Try removing the 3 different center tags you have

Remove these

Code:

<DIV align=center></DIV>
<CENTER></CENTER>

and remove the align=center in the first table tag

That will allow the table to justify left (default). Then you can set your margins to 10 or something to space the table away from the left nav.

new example:

Does that help?

try this table code in place of your current table

Code:

<table width="466" border="0"> 
  <tr> 
    <td width="151">[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</td> 
    <td width="150">[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</a></td> 
    <td width="151">[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</a></td> 
  </tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td width="151"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3d Ballz </font></td> 
    <td width="150"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ancient Magic </font></td> 
    <td width="151"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Assault Suit Valken </font></td> 
  </tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td width="151"></a>[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</td> 
    <td width="150">[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</a></td> 
    <td width="151"></a>[img]your_image.jpg[/img]</td> 
  </tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td width="151"><font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif color=black size=2>Battle Toads </font></td> 
    <td width="150"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Battle Tycoon </font></td> 
    <td width="151"><font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif color=black size=2>Bounty Sword </font></td> 
  </tr> 
</table>

Something in your table code is pushing it down from the top. weird

Grr Frontpage.

Huh, now there's more stuff for me to have to collect. Great :D

Evilmess: Thanks, I'll give that a shot. As before, it's Perl that's generating the HTML, but since I couldn't figure out what the hell was pushing it down, I threw it in Frontpage. As before, edit mode shows it up top (with 0 margin) and the preview shows the pushed down one. Strange, I know. Given the fact I have to add the lines in the script (not just tinker w/ the HTML) adds some time.

Ed:
SEe above - I hate Frontpage. It sucks ass, but I just needed a quick visual tool.

Oh, yes I know it does. How about MS Word? I don't know if that can do as much for you as Frontpage, but I use it to bang out pages every once in a while and you can run 'em through a filter to delete the extraneous tags (supposedly all of them).

**badinsults** · 10-16-2003, 12:12 PM

Frontpage, blah.

CSS is your friend.

**gamergary** · 10-16-2003, 02:05 PM

You own all those flyers?

**GaijinPunch** · 10-16-2003, 06:56 PM

Gamegary:

Most of the SFC flyers, I do not own. The other sections, I do own most of with the exception of a few. All the PC-Engine, PC-FX, and about 90% of the Saturn ones are on my shelf. They're not easy to come by these days, so I try to take good care of them.

As for deleting extraneous tags and whatnot, I'd rather use Perl. There's a lot of modules that does all that shit for you.
