Centering a Scrollable table in a certain column

[radioattic]

Hi, all,

 

I have a web site in which I display 6300+ antique radios as an identification resource for collectors.  I'm trying to set up a scrollable table in which I can list all 75+ pages on my site to make it easier for users to browse.  It has ranges of manufacturer names and in some cases ranges of model numbers for a manufacturer (lots of radios).

 

Here is the test page: http://radioatticarchives.com/archive_test.php?page=z1

 

I have the table working, but it always begins at "Abbott to Americana," the left-most column.  In this test, if you scroll over to "Zenith 1-R to 6-A-05," you will see that this column has no hyperlink; it is the page that is displayed in this test (page=z1).  The user selects another page from this table as the next page.

 

What I want to do is:

 

1) Center the table; I use <div align='center'> to no effect.

 

2) Get rid of the vertical scroll bar.

 

And the BIG ONE>>>>

 

3) Automatically scroll the table to the column for the page in the URL (z1 in this case) so that the user would see the "Zenith 1-R to 6-A-05" column at or near the center rather than the table being set at the left-most column.  Can this be done?

 

I have a set of links at the bottom of each page, but they are just page numbers.  Having this table available would allow the user to more easily find a particular manufacturer.

 

I can e-mail the code for the page if anyone wants to see it.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

1. align="center" in your table.

 

2. Try some CSS

overflow-y: hidden;

 

3. Make an anchor and make your link use #z1 instead of page=z1
