Form Builder Not Centering...uuhhhggg...

I've been testing out the form builder for about two weeks - placing it in several places on my site. It would automatically center which I thought was cool. Now, I can't for the life of me get it to center and I really really need it to.

I used the <div> no luck.

Either I changed something in the original form settings? or it is something on my page ... I know a tiny bit of code, but pretty much enough to make a mess of things.

Any suggestions?

Hi Michelle :D
Could you post a link to your site so we can see what's going on?

I've never used Wordpress, but maybe this might be it...
Your other centered items have this tag:
<p style="text-align: center;">, but your form just has <p> (see below***)
Here's what I've got to keep my form centered within a page section:
<!-- CONTACT FORM -->
<div class="col span_7_of_12">
<div id="framecenter"><iframe name="lets-talk" marginWidth=0 marginHeight=0 src="http://www.callie.coffeecup.com/forms/lets-talk" frameBorder=0 width=100% height=711px scrolling=no></iframe></div>
</div>
<!-- END CONTACT FORM -->

You could try your "<p style..." instead of my "<div class="col span...."

<div id="framecenter"> centers my form Iframe:
#framecenter { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; }

***
<p><script type="text/javascript">document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='http" + (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 's' : '') + "://www.coffeecup.com/api/sdrive/forms/form.js?name=Online%2520Biz%2520Building%2520Kit%2520Box%26slug=256456%26height=316%26crossdomains=true%26rand=" + Math.floor( Math.random() * 1000000000 ) + "' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));</script><br />
&nbsp;</p>

Since your form is on SDrive, you might have better results with the Iframe method.
Maybe someone familiar with WP will have a better idea. :)

Thanks so much. The first doesn't work either. I'm going to work on it some more. And like you said, maybe someone with wp experience will have some ideas. It has worked just fine up until yesterday, so I have a feeling something else is awry.

Your other forms are centered. Can you see what's different about the home page from the others?

I tried that too - I could not figure anything out or find any changes that worked. I even tried the page layout - thinking maybe it was something to do with the theme or page itself...nada.

There have to be some Wordpress users around here....Anybody?
Also, is there a forum for your particular WP theme? If so, someone there should be able to tell what's going on.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
