CSS - Center Body Using Css - Standard Solution Not Working
I have googled it and searched through this forum as well. And found pretty much the same advice. However it does not appear to work for me.
My CSS file has the following: Code:
body {
padding: 0;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 15px;
text-align: center;
}
.largeLink{
font-size: 14px;
}
.bodyTextSm{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;}
div#pageContainer{
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;
}
...
and my php file contains: Code:
<body bgcolor="#000000" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('/images/TopNav_r1_c1_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c3_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c4_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c5_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c6_f2_online_movies.gif')">
<?php include_once("GoogleAnalytics.php") ?>
<!--The following section is an HTML table which reassembles the sliced image in a browser.-->
<!--Copy the table section including the opening and closing table tags, and paste the data where-->
<!--you want the reassembled image to appear in the destination document. -->
<div id="pageContainer">
...
And I am not getting the page to center. What gives? Similar TutorialsOk, Normally I have no problem centering divs, but somehow I cannot get this to work. I have the following code: PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <style> .img-shadow { float:left; background: url(shadowAlpha.png) no-repeat bottom right !important; background: url(shadow.gif) no-repeat bottom right; margin: 10px 0 0 10px !important; margin: 10px 0 0 5px; } .img-shadow img { display: block; position: relative; background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #a9a9a9; margin: -6px 6px 6px -6px; padding: 4px; } </style> </head> <body> <table width="800" border="1"> <tr> <td> <div class="img-shadow"> <img src="image.jpg" alt="test"/> </div> </td> <td> <div class="img-shadow"> <img src="image.jpg" alt="test"/> </div> </td> <td> <div class="img-shadow"> <img src="image.jpg" alt="test"/> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> It creates a CSS dropshadow and border around the image. That is working perfectly, but on my thumbspage I'd like to have three per row, neatly centered within the table cell. Because of the float:left; it won't center. Obviously removing the float:left; will mess up the drop shadow, so I am looking for another solution. Wrapping it in another div and center it, won't work as well. I am probably overlooking the obvious here, but I cannot see it. Can someone help me out here? Cheers, Ronald So the typical reason that I see people's images disappearing on hover has something to do with repositioning and substituting new images, etc. My case is that my hover code changes the opacity, that's it, and only to about .4 at the very very most. My solution works when slowly mousing over the image, however rapidly hovering/leaving the image causes the image do disappear for a period of time, as though the browser is re-requesting the image. Maybe that's the case? I'm not an expert on CSS. I can't seem to include a link due to some "akismetspam" phrase not being found? I am trying to center the whole page. the body contains all divs, contained in one main div. I tried I trick I have been using for a while but it messed with one the other divs. I was using Margin-Left:-375px; Position:Absolute; Left:50%; any ideas for another way to center my page? Hi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code:
body

Thanks very much. Hi there, I am trying to define the body text for all my pages using this, but it is not recognising it: Code:
body{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
line-height: 150%;
}
Have I got something wrong here?! Hi, I'm using C++ to create a single .cgi script. I'm now trying to incorperate some more CSS. I have added this line: <style>body { font-family: times-roman; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bolder; }</style> Now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I will keep on clicking the refresh button and it is about 1 out of 10 that there are not any fonts on the page and the table sizes jump. Does anyone know why this is possibly happening? Mike O.k. I'm stumped... I have a gap about 5px at the top of my site in Opera 8.02 which reveals my background graphic and setting the top margin to 0px in both my body and wrapper div does nothing to solve it. It renders fine in FF 1.06 and IE6, and yes, everything validates fine. My Website My css file My gratitude ahead of time. [edit] Did a little deeper search and solved my problem. Opera uses padding as a default, not margins. So setting padding to: Code: body {
padding: 0px /*Opera hack*/
}
Removed the gap issue [/edit] I was looking for ways to make the layout work with header, body and footer that work in IE, Gecko, Safari, etc.. I thought I found a good solution via Google surfing and it looked great. Then I discovered that it doesn't have the "<!DOCTYPE ...>" tag, so I added it and now it is thrown out of wack in most browsers. Does anyone know of a valid css layout that would include the header, the body and the footer that work. Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<style type="text/css">
/* colored borders put on for visual effect only */
body{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#spacer{
height: 95%;
float: left;
width: 1px;
font-size: 1px; /* to make sure width is not overridden */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: red; /* visual effect only */
}
#contentwrap{
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#content{
padding: 30px;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: blue;
}
#footer{
clear: both;
height: 5%;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
border-style: solid;
border-color: red;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="spacer"></div>
<div id="contentwrap">
<div id="content">
<p>this is the content div</p>
<p> </p>
<p>more content</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and even more</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
</div><!-- content -->
</div><!-- contentwrap -->
<div id="footer">footer</div>
</body>
</html>
I thought I can do this but it doesn't really work as the footer doesn't go all the way down to the bottom when needed... Code: <div id="header"> .... </div> <div id="main"> .... </div> <div id="footer"> .... </div> Thanks, FletchSOD hello i have a div acting as a container for a layout and i'm using the following to center it on the browser window, having a background image and two borders: Code:
#master { position: relative; top: 0;
width: 46em;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image: url(../img/bg/.gif);
border-right: 1px solid #FA933C;
border-left: 1px solid #FA933C;
}
this works great on internet explorer, however, on other browsers it doesn't do so well; on netscape it centers the layer but it doesn't display the background/borders. on firefox it does the same thing. on opera it centers and displays the background, but it leaves a gap between the top margin and the top of the layer, even though the document margins are set to zero. is there a way to fix this? i suppose i could use position: absolute and then figure out a percentage away from the left margin... but this way is a lot better since the browser figures everything out neatly. hope someone can help out. thx in advance! Sorry solved problem but can somebody post a definite solution to making a body { text-align:center } style work in both IE and firefox? I would like to delete this thread but I don't know how to, as another thread answered the question somewhat ambiguously. Thanks. OK, I have <h1> and a class .footer_header_link. Both should center the text. But the class code isn't being centered. I thought this would be simple, but I must be overlooking something. Here's my css: Code: h1 {
font-family:arial black;
color:#666666;
font-size:12pt;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0;
text-align:center;
}
.footer_header_link{
text-align:center;
font-family:arial black;
color:#666666;
font-size:12pt;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0;
}
You can see a sample testhere. Scroll down the 3 column bullet point list. You will see the headers with an underline aren't centered. They have a class of "footer_header_link" Any ideas? thanks I've made a site for someone and it was center aligning and it worked in all 3 main browsers (IE, FF and Opera) so when I was tinkering with ideas for redoing the look of my site, I used the CSS sheet I used for his site as a base for mine. Unfortunately it's only center align in IE7 with my site. My site is admittedly a bit more complex, at the moment, with more divs, it should still work. Mind you I'm probably just too tired to spot the obvious. Can anyone see what's stopping it from center aligning in FF and Opera? The template: http://www.toadwarrior.com/temp/index.php The CSS: http://www.toadwarrior.com/temp/mark_h_walker_journalist.css Thank you in advance. I am just wondering if there is such a thing as a standard way of writing html to suite a standard css. So that, for example you could download a new 'standard' css file and have it work straight away with your old html. Sometimes the guys on oswd.org come pretty close, but the html always looks messy. Rogue div tags all over the shop. Can anyone point me to a resource on this, or a design forum where they practise it? Thanks. C I thought that setting properties for a and a:hover like this: PHP Code: a { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #960000; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dashed #960000; } a:hover { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FFFFFF; } would apply a dashed bottom border to a standard link (which it does, marvellously). I also thought any other a classes would override this. Such as: PHP Code: a.nav { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #960000; } a.nav:hover { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } Which doesn't work (until I set a border-bottom property of 0). Is there a way to get around this so I don't have to set a 0 bottom-border on all other link types? how is that some websites can make the standard toolbar and the address bar disappear upon entering the website I downloaded a pre built template (which I never do but I needed something fast) and after validating the website I noticed they used a lot of standard tags like figure, header, footer, and article. The validator does not like that one bit. Please see he Validator Is there a way around this as far as adjusting the doc type or anything? Will this at all hurt SEO rankings? Thanks! I am using the following code how do I change it so that it would show up in the center of the brower window? Thanks Tim PHP Code: <div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; z-index: 1; top: 0px; align: center\"> <object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0 ,0\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" id=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\"> <param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" /> <param name=\"loop\" value=\"false\" /> <param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /> <param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /> <param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /> <embed src=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" loop=\"false\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" name=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /> </object> </div> Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to make a div, where only the images have a margin. How would I do that ? Can anyone help me thx! greez Hi all, I've got a standard 'submit' button that I've applied a CSS style to, with this code: <input type="submit" name="sign in" value="sign in" style="font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 10px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; background: #A4B1C1;"> The only problem I'm having is that in IE, there's a black border around it, but in Firefox, there's only the white border stated in the CSS style. Can anybody tell me how I can fix this? Cheers. What is the best solution for enabling IE 6 and below to be able to display PNG 24 images correctly? I've seen several workarounds on the Web and wondered which one that most people are using? |
