Hello, How to avoid a table to "migrate" to the bottom of the displayed Page and stay where it has been written ? I read the manual and saw nothing about this. Thanks F. Colonna

Hi, I think you'll have to be more specific about the problem before anyone will be able to help. If the page you're trying to edit is on a public site, please provide a link for people to look at; if not, perhaps you could copy it to an appropriate space (such as a sandbox) on a public site and post that link. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

sure, here is the link to the page: http://galileo.lct.jussieu.fr/~frames/WIKI/mediawiki/index.php/Wave_Function while the table of the 3 images is written in "UML Diagrams" paragraph, the tables are diplayed at the bottom of the page not just below "UML Diagrams". I am using Mozilla. François Colonna

Usually a problem like this means the table tags were not closed properly. Some browsers end up displaying the rest of the text at the top, and then the table contents below. Try changing this line: |-} to this: |} Also, you should upgrade your MediaWiki installation. If you don't want to jump all the way to 1.6 right away, I strongly recommend at least updating to 1.3.18; there have been a number of bug fix and security fix releases on the 1.3 branch since 1.3.9. You can download the older-branch releases of MediaWiki at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34373&package_id=… -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
