Aligning Slideshows

[bdietz]

Good morning. I love the new slideshow feature, but I'm struggling with an alignment issue. My goal is to have a smaller slideshow imbedded in our welcome page, so it would be aligned to the right with text wrapped around. Through the Edit Slideshow settings I was able to limit the size of the slideshow, and using the styles for Madcap Slideshow, I was able to get text to wrap around it. But the slideshow itself still displays in the middle of the page.

Is there a stylesheet setting I'm missing here for aligning the whole slideshow to the right of the page? I've tried some different positioning and alignment options, but they seem to only change the contents within the slideshow area.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

(I'm not on Flare at the moment, so am guessing on some possible solutions.)

It's not that you need align the slideshow. Rather, you need to float the slideshow at the right.

Try putting the whole slideshow in a div and the using the float property to float the div at the right. Or you might be able to apply a float directly to the slideshow block.

I suggest that you create a generic class (something like .FloatRight) that you can apply to different types of blocks. This would be preferable to using inline formatting to achieve the float.

Nita,

Thanks for the help. I ended up putting the slideshow in a table, and that worked. However, I lost the ability to edit the slideshow. So Madcap created two bugs (one to allow the slideshow to float properly, and another to let the slideshow function in the table.
