Keep the Logo in Center

I have the following in the Logo of shared_components.
#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#UBS_LOGO.GIF
I want the logo to show at the center instead of left corner. how can I do it? Can someone help me on this?

You need to edit the template your application uses for the pages.
Typically, the tag #LOGO# is inside an HTML table at the Body of the template. You will need to bring the logo tag out of the HTML table definition and include tags to make it centered.
Like:
<CENTER>
#LOGO#
</CENTER>
<table summary="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

  • How to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column?

    Hi...is there a way to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column when the browser window is made smaller? It would be great if the middle (main content) column could get smaller instead of the sidebar moving under the text when the window is made smaller. I'm working with a fluid layout and this is the first time I've tried this. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the link to the website:

    and here is my code:

    I'm trying to add a header beside my logo and center the header only

    Have you got a code for your master-head?  If not try something like this:
    HTML goes like this:
    <div id="masthead">
    <div id="logo">
    </div>
    <div id="header">
      Header Goes Here </div>
    </div>
    Your CSS goes like this:
    #masthead {
    min-width: 600px;
    #logo {
    float: left;
    width: 200px;
    #header {
    margin-left:200px;
    text-align: center;
    If this not what you want then please post a link of your work you have already done so that basic CSS code can be given to center your text.

    First try a reset, by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    If that fails, you can try restoring the iPad using Recovery Mode.

    Boot into Safe Mode if possible. If it boots into safe mode, then restart the computer to see if it will boot normally. Otherwise, reinstall OS X. Unfortunately, you've not provided any information in your profile about what version of OS X you have installed.

  • Keeping a logo inline with the end of a text layer

    How do I anchor or parent another layer to the end of a text box?  For example, I want have a logo at the end of a text layer saying "Weeknights" and have the position of the logo automatically adjust when I change the text to something shorter or longer such as "Tonight" (I cannot right justify the text as I need to have the front of it line up with something else)

    Since you say NOTHING about air times, this gets pretty easy:
    Weeknights
    Sunday
    Monday
    Tuesday
    Wednesday
    Thursday
    Friday
    Tomorrow
    Tonight
    What is that, nine variations?  That's ALL? 
    And you want a fancy expression for it?  How long can it take to make all nine: an hour if you're drunk, sleep-deprived and crippled, perhaps?
    I think you're looking for a complicated solution where none is necessary.

  • How do I keep the website's icon when creating a desktop shortcut as opposed to the firefox logo?

    When I click a website's icon in the address bar in Firefox and drag it to my desktop to create a shortcut to said site, the shortcut is created with Firefox's icon. I want to know how to keep the site specific icon when creating these shortcuts. I know that once the shortcut is created you can go into properties and choose from several generic icons but I don't want those cheesy icons. Can anyone help?

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".<br />

  • Help!  i have one apple id but 2 game center accounts.......each mini has their own but now they seem to obtain the same game center id......help!

    i have one apple id.
    i have 2 mini ipads with different game center id's but same apple id...
    each ipad has their own email address setup, even though they can see all 3 email address...
    why does the game center id no longer keep its own game center id?

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

  • My classic is stuck on a blank screen and it won't connect to any device or reset when I hold the menu and center buttons. Any ideas what's up and how to fix it?

    I know click hold on and off then hold the menu and center button until the apple logo appears. I have tried this so many times and my iPod Classic is still unresponsive! I've tried plugging my iPod into my Mac, my wall charger, my ihome, everything, but nothing works. It won't connect to iTunes to restore or anything. I've tried leaving it unplugged long enough to let the battery die and then tried plugging it in, a method I've utilized successfully with other iPods but that didn't work either. I really just starting to lose faith in the quality of this product. The first classic I bought didn't work at all and I had to exchange it. This one I bought to replace my 5 year old nano and it hasn't even lasted 7 months! Somebody please offer me a solution and assure me that I didn't waste $250 on a crap piece of technology. I'm desperate!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • How can I get rid of the logo background

    I'm trying to get rid of the logo background on the BC template for the following trial site:
    http://saddleriver.businesscatalyst.com/
    Here's the HTML part that I've been tryng to work with
    <div id="logo">
            <div class="logobox-bl">
            <div class="logobox-br">
            <a href="/"><img alt="SRRC" src="/images/Logo-1.jpg" /></a>
            </div>
            </div>
            </div>
            <!-- close #logo -->
    And here's the underlying CSS:
    #logo {
      text-align: center;
      position: relative;
      top: -10px;
      left: -4px;
      float: left; }
    .logobox-br {
      background: url(../images/roundbox_br.png) no-repeat bottom right;
      margin: 0 0 0 30px;
      padding: 16px 30px 16px 0px; }
    .logobox-bl {
      background: url(../images/roundbox_bl.png) no-repeat bottom left;
      position: absolute; }
    I tried to get rid of the background images altogether, by deleting the two "div class" from the above code but it shifted the layout.. When I try to delete the background images - nothin happened. Could these images be embedded in the template PHP - if so, where do I look for it?
    Could sombody suggest a solution?
    Thank you,
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    This system is not PHP so there is no PHP and you do not have access to any server side coding.
    Do not delete the actual html, in your CSS just remove the background from the css of the element.
    .logobox-br {
      margin: 0 0 0 30px;
      padding: 16px 30px 16px 0px; }
    .logobox-bl {
      position: absolute; }

  • The collapse-to-center effect on my eMac

    Earlier, I submitted the following question and then received a response by Allen Jones...
    Now adding the following information, I am still looking to see if it is possible to try to pinpoint the problem I am having.
    On the average, "the the collapse-to-center effect" happens about twice daily and will last anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes. The computer will not react to any input and the little small glowing ready light near the CD player tray glows solid (normally operation, it glows weak to strong and back again.
    Once the blackout period ends, all functions return to normal.
    Since first reporting this problem in August, the frequencey or length of outage has remained about the same and still averages about twice a day and the same 10-15 minute period of outage.
    Have checked my serial number and it ends in "Q18" which according to the list is "USB 2.0" and a later model eMac from what I can tell from the list.
    Any suggestions? Tips? of if the video cable needs to be replaced...any idea as to possible cost?
    Thank you ahead of time!

    Running OS 10.4.11 on eMac. On a regular basis my screen will all of a sudden go black with a bright white vertical line in center of screen and then solid black. Stays black and nothing functions for about 5-10 minutes before returns to normal mode?
    Can this mean that the small back up battery needs changing or something else is wrong? like maybe the video card is failing?
    thanks
    eMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    If this is an early eMac with a 700 or 800mhz processor and Nvidea graphics, you probably have a bad video cable, specifically the IVAD cable. For the first few months of production in 2002, this cable casuesd a lot of grief, including the collapse-to-center effect you see, usually accmpanied by ominous popping sounds. It's rare for one to wait this long to fail, however.
    This Apple article will help you use the serial number to figure our what version of the eMac you own:
    How to locate the serial number and identify your model
    The was an Apple repair Extension Program that repaired this at no cost but I suspect it's long-expired. New cables are still available:
    922-6436 IVAD to analog cable for eMac
    The part is relatively cheap but the labor would be high. As you would be dealing with high voltage around the CRT display, I cannot recommend that an average user attempt to repair this at home.
    If your eMac is not the early one I described, then post back and we'll start over.
    If you live in the western US, the company I linked for the cable also does the repair work. They are in Eugene Oregon. Unless you are within driving distance and can drop off the computer. shipping a 50-pound computer two ways plus the cost of parts and labor probably exceed the vaule of a used 1Gen eMac.
    I recommend backing everything up to an external drive in case this gets worse and you can't make the computer work at all. And I suspect that, if it's the IVAD cable, it will get worse.
    In the meantime, consider using only external speakers. The internal speakers in the first eMacs were poorly shielded and, at higher volume levels, could cause video distortion in the lower part of the screen.
    Note: The eMAc does not have a replaceable video card. Like most newer desktop Macs, the video chipset is integral with the logic board and cannot be repaired or replaced independently of the logic board,

    Hi Allan...
    Will try to keep this short. Tried to respond yesterday...but message kept coming back as undeliverable.
    I am in SW Louisiana.
    Did some checking. Back in Sept of 2006, my screen went black and was experiencing some "popping sounds" prior to it going black. Took it to Baton Rouge (about a 2 hour drive) to CompUSA. They kept it a month and "repaired" it. If I do some serious looking in boxes of old receipt files, I may be able to find the receipt. (Kept receipts because we got flooded out by Katrina in the New Orleans area and was living with mother-in-law during repairs.)
    Currently I have the same little problem described earlier to you...collapse to center and black screen for about 15 minutes. Once or twice daily. It has been consistant since first happening back in August...and usually daily when on the computer.
    My computer is in the G84201xxxxx range and an eMac USB 2.0.
    Saw the message to look at the ones on eBay. Saw a used computer lab one for about $150. May decide to buy it. (Am leery because I bought one some years ago that turned out to be stolen -- I had to give it up when a tech working on the screen saw the serial number from a list of stolen computers from a college computer lab.)
    Basically, in your opinion, this problem that I am having will or will not get worse? Capicator problem or cable problem?
    Am wondering if the fix done in '06 actually replaced the cable? and WHY I was not told of the recall problem at the time. I know that I had to pay well over $100 for the fix, whatever it was.
    Anyway, I will call the 1-800 number this week but expect little or no assistance from them.
    When experiencing the problem initially back in 2006, I called Apple tech support and they could do nothing for me and my problem? My extended warranty had run out and was no longer renewable. Strange, if there was a recall fix out there for the problem that I was having, nothing was told to me.
    Anyway, thanks for your input!
    Joe
