Debugger output text is centered

Question

In Coldfusion 9, when I enable "Enable Request Debugging Output" in the administrator settings, the debugging text on my site pages is centered from "Scope Variables" to the end of the output. One of the fields is so wide that I have to scroll right just to see the centered text.

I can't find a setting to control the output text to make it a more readable left-aligned. I've been working on a CSS hack to control the styles. But I've only figured out how to do it within the code of each cf template. Has anyone figured how to fix this poorly designed text?

Thanks!

Usually this is more a reflection of a problem in the HTML that your own code is generating. Consider that the debugging output is merely HTML at the bottom of the HTML your own page generated. CF sticks a bunch of closing tags into the stream between the two, hoping to “close” any tags you may have left open, but it’s just guessing. You may (indeed, it seems you must) have one open (either a

tag, or one that sets centering, like

, or perhaps it’s even some CSS controlling things.

But to answer your question, no, there is no feature to control this.

I would recommend you run your code against an html validator, like http://validator.w3.org/, to find out what is perhaps “broken” about your HTML.

Hope that helps.
