For some reason, I’m having problems getting these Perch served thumbnails to line up. I contacted the folks at Perch, but they said it’s my CSS. The problem is I really haven’t done anything, that I can think of, to my CSS.

Your gallery elements are all varied heights and float left in the main container element. This causes the items that flow onto the next line to only get positioned as far left as the tallest element on the previous line. One solution is to make sure that all of the gallery list items have a minimum height. Try adding the following style to the head of your page using Page > HTML Markup > Before ;
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.album { min-height:140px !important; }
-->
</style>
Regards,
Tim.

First I thought this was simple, but now it’s not as simple as I thought.
The font attribute of the body tag style in the gallery.css file
ISconflicting with some other css style(s). Commenting the body tag
out of
existence fixes the alignment issue, but there appears to be a host of
other conflict(s) going on.
For example, your linked page views in my browser with serif type, but when
viewed locally is sans-serif. Normally I would attribute that to me a
missing something in gathering your resources – but I checked it, so
something is else is not quite right.

Tim, I tried your solution and while it aligned the thumbnails, it spaced
the link text at right enormously.
Raven, there are a lot of css sources going on in your page, and they seem
to need quite a bit of sorting.

Tim,
I tried your suggestion (thank you). The only problem is the spacing also affected my Photo Album list.

I don’t even know where that type spec is coming from. Where should I look?

That must be coming from Perch, because I can’t imagine myself setting that.

Yep, that was it. Here is the Perch supplied CSS code. Why would they use these specs?

It’s not strange – CSS font attribute allows you to set font-size,
line-height and font-family in one declaration

Do you think I should change the CSS to whole numbers? BTW, this issue seems to have arose after I deleted my .body class font tag and decided to use the p tag instead.

When you come across examples like this with Perch stuff you can’t just copy it with impunity. Things like the body style etc. they included will always conflict with your styles so be aware of what you’re including instead of just stuffing it into your page. Make sure you’re only using the CSS specific to the Perch stuff you want to style.

In that case you just need to focus the change to target just the thumbnails themselves;
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#albumdisplay .album { min-height:140px !important; }
-->
</style>
It sounds like you’ve got a bit of CSS cleanup to do with the default Perch styles but the style above should at least get the thumbnails aligned again.
Regards,
Tim.

Try first commenting out the body style of the gallery.css file. Like so…
/*
body {
font: 81.3%/1.3 Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
*/
this way it is ignored by the browser. That will fix one problem… I think
there are others but let’s just see how that does for starters

I hear ya Todd. This is what newbies do when they have absolutely no idea what they are doing and they’re worried they’ll break something.
I’m sure as I get more comfortable with all of this I’ll be more inclined not to use canned CSS.

In the code I listed above, can somebody tell me which part of it controls the album titles under each thumbnail. I’d like to center that text. Thanks!
