[Xerte] Centring the learning object

[Paul Swanson]

<center> may or may not work, depending on whether you use a strict Document Type Definition. It's deprecated, but most browsers will be backward compatible unless you use a strict DTD. The new way, is to use CSS. Find your HTML file, and modify it like so (changes marked in red):

 

<div style="min-height:100%; width:100%; height:100%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center;">

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

myRLO = new rloObject('800','605','customer_service_module.rlo');

 

function closeWindow () {

    // closes this window

    self.close ();

}

 

</script>

</div>

 

You might not need the text-align bit.

I add <center> to the head tag of all my Xerte publised rlo.  The HTML purists may have a more elegant and up to date solution but it seems to work.
See attached image of change to  publish HTML files in Xerte program.

Hi,

Is there any way that the learning object can be displayed in the centre of the browser rather than in the top left-hand corner? I know about displaymode but that does not do what I am trying to achieve (which is to display the object in the centre of the browser no matter what its size is).

PS I promise to stop asking novice questions soon but I need to assess xerte very fast for a specific project we have in mind. Once that is done more in-depth reading and practice will solve the problems we encounter....
