Why does my table not keep the same format once my page is published?
Pictures are set up and then once page is published.
Hi @LMEcolleen ,
Canvas automatically adjusts its pages to be optimized for different viewing platforms (Chromebook vs large screen vs phone). It's a futile endeavor to try to make your page look a certain way based on the space you see on the screen.
Another consideration: Using tables for alignment does not meet accessibility standards. Tables are intended to display data and are not meant to be used for page design.

Hi @LMEcolleen,
Without seeing your exact HTML code, I am going to make a pretty educated guess that the issue is that of available screen space. Unlike making a word document (or similar) where there is a fixed paper size and everything will basically look the same no matter what computer you view the file on, web content is generally dynamic and changes based on the size of the screen. This generally ensures people with large monitors see a lot fo content (without much blank space) and conversely that people viewing on a small mobile device only see a small amount of content and don't have a ton of left/right and up/down scrolling, which can be very difficult to accomplish.
I can see the look you're going for, but I think getting that to work well across devices might be pretty difficult. If you put your menu icons above the calendar instead of trying to have them side by side, it might work a little bit better. I'm not sure how much you want to display "identically to everyone and how much you'd be willing to have display slightly differently to different users though.
If you can provide a bit more info on your wishes, someone may be able to offer up some possible solutions.

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
