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.

We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
