Templates behaving differently with two different styles...

[KW802]

OK, I'm sure this has more to do with the style somewhere but I'm stumped.

What's happening is that the imagebit template on my newest style isn't being aligned with the bottom, instead each imagebit table is aligning to the top. If I switch to a different style then it looks like. What I'm not getting is that the template is aligned using a 'valign="center"' parameter in the td element so the parent style shouldn' be coming into play.

Reference #2: http://www.coolscifi.com/gallery/?styleid=25 (new)

Any thoughts?

valign="center" isn't valid... Try valign="middle"

Please tell me that I'm not going totally daft in my old age..... where did you find a valign="center"? I can't find one in the templates or when doing a vew source.

That's where I found valign="center"

I guess I'm just missing something, but I'm not seeing a reason why they should be aligned like that. If you want to send me your forum info though I'll be glad to take a look and see if I can figure it out.

Oh, man... I am getting daft! That should've said valign="bottom" because that's what the image bits TD element is using. I even ended up reverting the templates back to the RC2 defaults and with the same results.

But I'm very happy to say I received a PM from CreedFeed with the solution. Apparently there was TD definition of "vertical-align: top" in the CSS that was overriding the inline elements option. I never would've thought of that because I had always thoughrt that the the lowest level parameter took precedence and since the containg element defined alignment as the bottom I didn't even think that that the CSS may have been taking precedence over it.

Now I feel old and stupid.

Thanks for the help Brian and CreedFeed, that really was driving me nuts.
