Beginner Question Question

I just got in to creating Addons for WoW the other day, and have been using the "World of Warcraft Programming" Book as a Guide. I'm trying to make a simple button frame in the center of the screen (I'll allow it to be moveable later) with the Dialog background and frame. I'm sure I just have some small error in here (it's modified from an example in the book) but I'm at a loss to find it. Any input would be appreciated.

Code:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/

..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">

        <Button name="TradeAdvertiserFrame" parent="UIParent" enableMouse="true" movable="true" frameStrata="LOW">



        <Size x="100" y="40"/>



        <Anchors>

                <Anchor point="CENTER" relativePoint="CENTER" relativeTo="UIParent">

                </Anchor>

        </Anchors>





        <Backdrop bgFile="Interface\DialogFrame\UI-DialogBox-Background" edgeFile="Interface\DialogFrame\UI-DialogBox-Border" tile="true">

                <BackgroundInsets>

                        <AbsInset left="11" right="12" top="12" bottom="11"/>

                </BackgroundInsets>



                <TileSize>

                        <AbsValue val="32"/>

                </TileSize>

                

                <EdgeSize>

                        <AbsValue val="32"/>

                </EdgeSize>

        </Backdrop>



        <Layers>

                <Layer level="OVERLAY">

                        <FontString name="$parentText" inherits="GameFontNormalSmall" justifyH="CENTER" setAllPoints="true" text="TradeAdvertiser"/>

                </Layer>

        </Layers>





        </Button>

</Ui>

That's quite easy to solve. There's a needless equal:

<AbsInset left="11" right="12" top="12"= bottom="11"/>

Must be something else I'm missing as well. Took out the equal sign and it's still not showing.

I suck at coding but I noticed in your <Layers> section...

Code:

justifyH="CENTER"

should read (unless I'm mistaken then ignore me!)

Code:

justify="CENTER"

Code:

justify="CENTER"

No Sir. :)
justifyV is a valid attribute.

Just tested your code. It's valid and working.
Please show the toc file and (if there are any) the lua files.

try puting a

<Offset>
<AbsDimension x="0" y="0"/>
</Offset>

inside <Anchor></Anchor>
