What controls the behaviour/formatting of blocks?

Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2003 10:35 pm

Does anyone know what controls the behaviour / formatting of blocks besides the themesidebox section under theme.php?

I find that some blocks cause the alignment of tables to shift and make things look a little ugly at times. I'm asking this cause I just installed the random survey block and it 'pushes' the whole right side out of alignment?

In case you would like to check things out, I've created a test account.

Thanks in advance!

For your comparison, please see this two sites:

default survey http://pulse.englishdept.net
random survey http://test65.englishdept.net

notice how the random survey block 'pushes' the side block a little to the right. help anyone?

I've solved my table alignment problem Cool

In case anyone's interested, here's how.

In block-RandomSurvey.php find these lines:
$content .= "<div align=\"center\"><font class=\"content\"><b>$pollTitle</b></font></div>";
for($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {

then add these lines:
$content .= "<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">";

That's all! Very Happy
