hi. i'm trying to make an ebay auction and i have a problem. nothing major but i want to know why it's doing it.

the item is here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16143&item=3611923268&rd=1

after the picture you can see the rest of the ebay stuff is centred at the same width of the table i'd made above.

what i think i need is something to tell the browser to end the centre of the table. i've tried putting </centre> but it didn't work.

if anyone can find the problem you'd be of great help. professional looking auctions are the ones that work best! thanks.

btw, i know this forum isn't really appropriate but i know you guys are smart and finding another decent forum may take days.

sorry, your link only contains a banner ...

to your problem: i guess it would be the easiest to start a new table. afaik the </center> command does not exist. the alignment is defined as align="center" in the beginning of the table.... another option might be to add align="right" (or left) to the first <tr> command you do not want centered anymore.

that's as much as i can say without seeing the page or html code!

Try putting a few </table> commands after the picture.

Start with one.

thanks for the help. turns out a simple <td width=100%> at the end of it fixed it.
