How to center a button in a sidebar region

Unfortunately, position options for buttons only include left and right. If I want to center buttons in a sidebar region, how might that be done?
It's easy in firebug to modify <td align="left"> to <td align="center"> which fixes everything, but I'm not sure how this might be overridden in apex.
I've attempted putting center tags in the header/footer of the sidebar region and some stylesheet options (I'm a stylesheet beginner so who knows...) but I've not had any luck.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Paul

Hi,
It would depend on the theme that you are using and what else may be contained within the sidebar region.
For example, in Theme 12 with only buttons in the region, you could add the following into the page's HTML Header setting:
<style type="text/css">
.t12SideBarNav td td {text-align:center}
</style>.t12SideBarNav is the class name used for Theme 12's sidebar region and td td refers to a nested TD (table cell) tag within a TD tag within the region (the region, at least for Theme 12, is a table within a table). So, this aligns the contents of the inner TD tag which contains the buttons.

Align buttons vertically in sidebar region

Good morning.
Hope someone can help me with a problem I'm having.
How do I align the buttons vertically in my region, they continually appear horizontally.
ie.
<Button1>
<Button2>
<Button3>
not like <Button1> <Button2> <Button3> which is how it looks at the moment.
Some Background Info:
I am using theme 17.
I have a region titled 'Letters' of type 'HTML Text' with a Sidebar Region template displayed in Page Template Body (3..) at Column 2.
Apex version 3.2.1.00.12 (still!)
IE 6 (still!)
I would be very grateful for any advice.
Thanks
Sue

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I am using region buttons.
I did try button items and they looked ok but I couldn't get them to call my javascript functions so I changed them to region buttons.
How would you suggest I change the template? Would you change the button template, the sidebar template or place some css in the page/region header?
Thanks
Sue

Center the buttons in the reports region

I have 2 buttons with Button Position as "Top and Bottom of Region".
Button Alignment is "Right"
How do I position the Button Alignment to be "Center" ??
Thank you, Bill

Hi,
I created a copy of "Reports Region" template and adjusted buttons:
Moved CREATE and CREATE2 tags to extra rows in the BODY table.
Worked great!

How to center menu and add spacing between buttons?

Here is my site: http://lauraportfolio.hostoi.com/index.html (If you are using Google Chrome you can right click and select "view page source" to see the html of the page)
See how the menu button are justified the left of the light pink menu bar? How can I put them in the center?
I would like to know how to center the menu, and then add spacing between the buttons.
At one point I added spacing between the buttons using CSS padding, but when I did that the last menu button, "Graphics" ran off the pink menu bar and became invisible and all kinds of crazy ugly stuff!
Below is what I beleive to be all of the CSS styling for the menu:
#menubar
          width: 900px;
          height: 72px;
          padding: 0;
          background-color: transparent;
          background-image: url(transparentpink.png);
          background-repeat: repeat;
ul#menu, ul#menu li
{ float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;}
ul#menu li
          list-style: none;
          padding-right: 0px;
          padding-left: 0px;
          margin-right: auto;
          margin-left: auto;
ul#menu li a
          letter-spacing: 0.1em;
          display: block;
          float: left;
          height: 37px;
          text-align: center;
          color: #f0dbca;
          text-transform: none;
          text-decoration: none;
          background: transparent;
          font-family: bonvenoCF, verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
          font-size: 150%;
          font-style: normal;
          font-weight: normal;
          font-variant: normal;
          padding-top: 29px;
          padding-right: 26px;
          padding-bottom: 6px;
          padding-left: 26px;
ul#menu li a:hover, ul#menu li.selected a, ul#menu li.selected a:hover
          color: #F0DBCA;
          background-color: #F1836A;

PART 1
So as long as the width of the buttons plus the padding doesn't go over 900px it won't run off the page?
Right.   The "box model" in CSS works like this:
width + padding + border = actual visible/rendered width of box
height + padding + border = actual visible/rendered height of box.
PART 2
And do you know how I can center the whole thin instead of it being left-aligned on the menu bar?
You can't center floated menu items. The best you can do is make your menu fit the entire width of the container (or as close as you can) as described in PART 1 above.
To center your #menu container, use margin:0 auto;
To center text, use text-align:center on the #menu li a.

Center a button in middle of a table

anyone knows how we can center a button in the middle of a table.
<af:table >
<af:column >
</af:column>
<af:column >
</af:column>
<af:column>
</af:column>
</af:table>
How can I put the button placed below the second row at the end??

Hi,
Can you elaborate on what your requirement really is?
You can add the buttons as columns
<af:table >
<af:column align="center" headerText="Click" >
<af:commandButton text="#{bindings.....}" visible="#{<your_condition>?'true':'false'}"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>-Arun
P.S : I am assuming the following things as you've not mentioned anything about that.
1. You are using JDev 11g.
2. You wan to add a button as column to the table.
3. You want the button to be aligned center of the column.
4. You want to display a button for some specific row.

How to have a button remove itself when clicked?

Here is my code...it should technically work, shouldn't it? Yet when you try it out and click the first button it will fail to refresh or update the frame. When I resize the frame after clicking the first button, the three buttons that were there before disappear and the new button appears. What can I do to fix this? Please help, try it out for yourself and see.
Also, if you can explain to me, how can I center these buttons all to the right?

You should tell the container it needs to be layed out again and then request for a UI update.
Your first clause in actionPerformed:
if ("AddEntry".equals (e.getActionCommand ()))
remove (AddEntryButton);
remove (ViewEntriesButton);
remove (SearchEntriesButton);
add (AddButton);
}would then be:
if ("AddEntry".equals (e.getActionCommand ()))
remove (AddEntryButton);
remove (ViewEntriesButton);
remove (SearchEntriesButton);
add (AddButton);
invalidate();
updateUI();
}The same applies for the two other clauses, resulting in:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
   if ("AddEntry".equals(e.getActionCommand()))
      remove(AddEntryButton);
      remove(ViewEntriesButton);
      remove(SearchEntriesButton);
      add(AddButton);
      invalidate();
      updateUI();
   if ("ViewEntries".equals(e.getActionCommand()))
      remove(AddEntryButton);
      remove(ViewEntriesButton);
      remove(SearchEntriesButton);
      invalidate();
      updateUI();
   if ("SearchEntries".equals(e.getActionCommand()))
      remove(AddEntryButton);
      remove(ViewEntriesButton);
      remove(SearchEntriesButton);
      invalidate();
      updateUI();
}

Andy's Region Blur - Hot key for "center" radio button???

Hi... I am loving Andy's Region Blur! I have an ongoing project editing courtroom footage that requires concealing multiple identities. Andy's Region Blur is HUGE!!! Since I am using it extensively, i am trying to figure out how to assign the "center" radio button to a hot key on a FCP keyboard. Does anyone know if this is possible??? It's the little things that make the difference...

I think you might have to ask Andy to tweak the FXscript to enable such a feature... not sure...

Script center mouse button click?

Can anyone tell me how to script a click on the mighty mouse roller ball? I have click on the roller ball/center mouse button set to bring up the Application Switcher. What I like about this method of bringing up Application Switcher is that it remains on screen without having to hold any keys down. I am hoping that a script that tells the system to center mouse button click will bring launch Application Switcher such that it stays on screen.
THx
~Von

you can't possibly script something like that. you have to consult the documentation for your mouse to see if it lets you reassign the button functions to do this. start with system preferences->keyboard and mouse->mouse. also some 3rd party mouse drivers like USB overdrive will probably let you do this

How can i use Button in BEx 7.0

Dear Folks,
Could you help me please ..
In BI 7.0, for BEx analyzer i see we can use button, combo box, analysis grid.
If i have a requirement like this:
1. I have sales report, where it has information about sales person.
2. And i want to filter that report with the sales person that i choose from combo box.
For that requirement, i tried to :
1. I Create a query to Sales info-provider for displaying sales.
2. I Create a query to either to MD Sales person / Sales info-provider in order to get Sales persons data.
3. I assign point no 1 to Analysis Grid.
4. I assign point no 2 to Combo box.
My questions are:
a. Is my techniques correct ??
b. How can i use button to execute filter into the corresponding report ???
c. Is there any tutorial regarding this ?? Could you share it to me please ..
Really need your guidances..
regards,
Niel..

Hi Niel,
You can use the method you specified.
In Bex Analyzer you have design mode where you can have the following items Button, Analysis Grid and Combo box.
To work with the button you need to use the Command Wizard which consists of pre-defined functions, out of those select the one which suits your requirement and supply the parameters. As it is done thorugh a Wizard it would be easy to do.
Also,
The Button Name displays the name of the button, which is generated automatically and is unique. This name is used on the BEx Analyzer Design Toolbar menu to refer to a particular instance of the button.
· Range u2013 Manipulate coordinates for a cell or cells in this field to move or resize the button.
· Button Text - The text (caption) you want to display on the button. You can use this to describe the command the button executes.
· Command Range (optional) - Specify a three-column range of cells in the worksheet that contains command parameters. In these cells, you provide the same parameters (Name, Index, and Value) as in the Static Parameters, but in the worksheet these can be variable, changing during
navigation based on query results or on a value you manually specify.

call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
