I'm not sure what's up without seeing your code, but I just re-tested this to make sure it was working and it worked for me on FF3/Mac. I used Firebug to set these styles and they worked on the tabs demo page on the UI site.
Just to check, I copied this style override: .ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li a { text-align:center; width:155px; } ...and pasted it into a style block in the head of this page and the text alignment was centered. I set the width to 155 just so it was wider than needed to see the effect: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/default.html Can you re-try? Maybe without a larger width explicitly set, you couldn't see the centered text effect? -Todd On Apr 14, 5:53 am, AndyCramb <andycr...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi Todd, > > Thanks for the help but like Spencer I could not get this to work > There was no difference after adding these styles > > Do you have an example of center aligned tabs that I could compare my > code against > > Thanks > Andy > > On Apr 10, 9:59 pm, Todd Parker <fg.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Andy - > > > In a new override CSS file that you include *after* the jQuery UI > > theme files in your head, add these styles: > > > .ui-state-default a, > > .ui-state-default a:link, > > .ui-state-default a:visited { > > text-align:center; > > > } > > > This is the level of specificity you need to override the default left > > alignment.
