Hi Jeff,

> Sorry I didn't reply the past two days.

No probs, I was off site yesterday too!

I sent through a sligtly modified CSS + template when I had noticed I had
not exactly replicated the "Results 1-8" area. The more recent code moves
this text to the right and encloses the whole area in a greyish box (like
your original table-based example).

> what would be your suggestion (in css coding) to allow me to right-align
the text

I'm no CSS guru but, especially since the Web Standards Group presentation
at MXDU04's inaugural FarCry User Group meeting, I have been making very
enthusiastic CSS attempts. In the last version I posted I used "float:
right;" to move the "Results 1-8" to the right. In order to make this work I
needed to reorder the way some of the DIVs were output. When using "Float:
Right;" the first floated element appears farthest to the right (see
http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/default4.asp).

> I will be releasing another Beta of that custom tag (v1.09 Beta2) by this
weekend.

On my working copy here I took out the table from your custom tag and used
the styling of the "searchNextPrevious" DIV to control the mark-up, i.e.

#searchNextPrevious {
  background-color: #E2E2E2;
  margin-top: 10px;
  text-align: center;
}

Have you spoken to Geoff and Daemon et al. about including your
next/previous tab in the core? If it's generic enough I think it would be a
useful addition.

Cheers

David

David,

Sorry I didn't reply the past two days.  I've been out of town giving a 
training seminar on CFCs and related CF coding techniques.  I just 
logged into the web now (its late here) for a quick peek at Email and I 
saw your post).

I haven't looked at the code yet, but the screenshot looks good.
Looking at your screenshot, what would be your suggestion (in css 
coding) to allow me to right-align the text that says "Results 1-8"?  Do 
I wrap that particular string in a <span> tag and have it call a class 
set to "text-align: right;"?

Speaking of Aura, I will be releasing another Beta of that custom tag 
(v1.09 Beta2) by this weekend.  In it I plan on removing the 
<table><tr><td> tags (It wasn't really needed in the first place.  If 
the person wants the custom tag in a table, they can place the CT call 
directly in their own <td> tag).  To be honest, I've had those HTML tags 
in this custom tag for so long (years actually) and just never thought 
to remove it.

Among other things I plan on updating in the tag, you'll see that you 
wont have to set EnableClasses="0" anymore (I'll just check if any were 
sent to the tag.  If not, then this attribute is disabled.)  Although 
the attribute will still be available to allow over-riding.  It'll look 
cleaner in the _search.cfm template (not having to use the attribute 
when not needed).

Regards,

-Jeff C.
