I have a "Today in History" block in use that I would like to use as a center block, but the text is currently formatted to the left. It pulls sql data from the ephemerids section of my db, so I'm not quite sure which part of the code to manipulate/change.

if (eregi("block-Today_in_History.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    Header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}

// Number of items to retrieve
$getnum = "10";
// Scroll Direction (up,down)
$scroll_direction = "up";
// Scroll Height
$scroll_height = 200;
// Scroll Delay
$scroll_delay = 100;
// Scroll Amount
$scroll_amount = 2;

global $prefix, $db, $querylang;

$today = getdate();
$eday = $today[mday];
$emonth = $today[mon];
$eyear = $today[year];
$lmonth = $today[month];
$title = ""._EPHEMERIDS."";
$output_buffer .= "<b>Today is $lmonth $eday, $eyear</b><br><HR noshade SIZE=3 width=\"90%\">";
$sql = "SELECT yid, content FROM ".$prefix."_ephem WHERE did='$eday' AND mid='$emonth' $querylang ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $getnum";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
      $content_list[$row[yid]] = "$row[content]";
}
ksort($content_list);
while (list($yr, $con) = each($content_list)) {
    if ($cnt == 1) {
   $boxstuff .= "<br><br>";
    }
    $output_buffer .= "<b>$yr:</b> <BR>$con";
    $output_buffer .= "<br><HR noshade SIZE=3 width=\"90%\">";
    $cnt = 1;
}
$content = "";
$content .= "<TABLE width=\"100%\">";
$content .= "<TR><TD>";
$content .= "<MARQUEE behavior=\"scroll\" height=\"$scroll_height\" direction=\"$scroll_direction\" scrollamount= \"$scroll_amount\" scrolldelay=\"$scroll_delay\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>".$output_buffer."</MARQUEE>";
$content .= "</TD></TR>";
$content .= "</TABLE>";
?>


I would like to get the scrolling text to be centered instead of justified to the left...which I assume is the default. I'm sure there is an easy fix for this but all ive done so far is hose the block. tia for any suggestions

Try changing this line

$content .= "<TR><TD>";


To this line

$content .= "<TR><TD align='center'>";

to

scrollamount= \"$scroll_amount\" scrolldelay=\"$scroll_delay\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'><center>".$output_buffer."</center></MARQUEE>";
