sodaboy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi everyone,I've been banging my head against a wall trying to convert my flash based web site into a w3c compliant site - and I've adjusted everything possible - yet the only error I cannot get rid of is the "there is no attribute "height"" error message from the validator.Now I have read about 100 times - don't use tables - use css... - in forums all over when similar problems came up - but I just cannot find a clean and easy way to replace the table I used as the nest for the flash movie.If anyone could fix the code using css... so that I get rid of the height attribute - I would greatly appreciate it.Here is the code[code]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html><head><title>My Web Page</title><link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><meta name="author" content="" /><meta name="generator" content="" /><meta name="description" content="index" />///there was a line of java here///<style type="text/css"> html { height: 100%; } body { height: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #ffffff; background-image: url(winter.jpg)} #flashcontent { border: solid 2px #000; margin: 0px auto; width: 800px; height: 450px} </style></head><body><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%" width="100%"><tr><td><div id="flashcontent"><strong>some text in case flash version not found</strong></div>JAVAAGAIN type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("preloader.swf", "index", "800", "450", "7", "#ffffff"); so.write("flashcontent");ENDOFJAVASCRIPT</td></tr></table></body></html>[/code]Thank you in advance.Goran Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26700-need-to-center-flash-movie-in-browser-window-vertically-and-horizontally/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The error is because you have [code]<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" height="100%" width="100%">[/code]In XHTML you have to use an inline style or you css documentto acheive this as an inline style you would use[code]<table cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none">[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26700-need-to-center-flash-movie-in-browser-window-vertically-and-horizontally/#findComment-122153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcombs_31 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The validator should have given you a clue what was wrong, well, I guess it did, but you didn't know exactly what they meant. In any case, not a problem. Some things just take trial and error.

Destruction Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Just as an example, you can do this in CSS without the use of tables:[code]html, body{ height: 100%;}#flashcontent{ position: absolute; width: 800px; height: 450px; left: 50%; top: 50%; margin-left: -400px; margin-top: -225px;}[/code]As you can see, the margin values are exactly half the value of their respective width/height. This is to counter the setting of left and top to 50%. Hope this helps someone,Dest Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26700-need-to-center-flash-movie-in-browser-window-vertically-and-horizontally/#findComment-122885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
