CSS - Aligning Text Within A Large <a> Tag
I have a menu that I'm working on which uses <A> elements for the menu items. I've given these A elements height and width dimensions and background images which works pretty well -- except the text in these A elements is top-aligned. I've tried adding a vertical-align directive in my CSS but this doesn't seem to do anything at all.
I'd also like to add a bit of space around the text. Is this possible? here's a bit of my CSS: Code: ul.menu li a { width: 295px; height: 59px; background: url(button_bg.jpg) no-repeat; display: block; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: none; } Similar TutorialsOk well im new to these forums and ive been looking pretty much everywhere for help, so heres my problem. I bought a joomla template from a company, i got it then installed it, but im having one huge issue i cant seem to fix. The news is piling up next to each other instead of each new news post going above the older one in a nice neat line one post after another. Instead they just moosh together after the first post. I emailed the company and they said i had to edit the css and thats all the help i got. I have no knowledge of css and have no idea how to fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A link to my site is below as well as the template css. Please someone help me with this problem. http://almostfinite.info/pku Code: /*------------------------------------------------------------------------ # JA Sanidine II for Joomla 1.5 - Version 1.0 - Licence Owner JA98631 # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Copyright (C) 2004-2008 J.O.O.M Solutions Co., Ltd.

They all live within a <div> with the following properties: #gNav { width:768px; height:19px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle; } i need for the three text links to line up directly in the middle (vertically) of that <div>. To achieve this in IE6 and NN+, I attach the following style to the text. .nookum { font-size:.9em; vertical-align: 25%; color:#FFFFFF; } I just learned that the vertical-align property is not recognized by IE5 and IE5.5, so in those versions, the text aligns at the bottom of the <div>. Anyone know of any workarounds or other methods of vertically aligning text that will work in these two versions of IE? the text on the left of the picture goes "in" a little bit to the image as can be seen he in firefox. http://www.925-sterling-silver-jewe...ls.php?id=sl211 in IE its ok but its in middle! and yeah i know my css is lacking but i plan to do it all in css once i finish my implementation (php) PHP Code: <div style="float:left; position: relative; width: 255px; height: 215px; z-index: 1; left: 5px; top: 5px" id="layer1"> <img border="0" width="255" height="215" src="images/<?php echo $product; ?>.jpg" > </div> <h2><span style="text-indent:0.5in">Detailed Information</span></h2> <b>Weight:</b> <?php echo $row['weight']; ?> <br/><? if($row['category'] == Anklets) { ?> <b>Diameter:</b><?php echo $row['diameter']; } else if($row['category'] == Bracelets) { ?> <b>Diameter:</b><?php echo $row['diameter']; ?> <br/> <b>Width:</b><?php echo $row['width']; } else if($row['category'] == Necklaces) { ?> <b>Width:</b><?php echo $row['width']; ?> <br/> <b>Length:</b><?php echo $row['length']; } else if($row['category'] == Sets) { ?> <b><span style="color:red">not sure</span> <? } How do you go about vertically aligning text in a <div> tag that is 200px in height? I currently have been trying to align an h1 tag over top of a css background image. I have tried a whole bunch of things but have returned the code back to its most basic form My external css div looks as follows: #content_funny{ width: 315px; height: 51px; background-image:url(images/funnyvideos1.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; float:left; clear:left; margin:0px 0px 0px 0; display:inline; } My index file is as follows <div id="content_header"><div id="content_funny"><a href="http://www.tokenhumor.com/categories/7/funny_videos.html"><h1>Funny Videos</h1></a></div> For some reason the text in its natural state is laying differently for IE and FF, preventing me from using any positioning lines within my external style sheet. Any help with this is much appreciated, I m pulling my hair out Hi all, I have a pesky little problem that I can not seem to figure out on my own. I have a set up like this PHP Code: <span class='navitem'><a href='index.php'> <img src='myimage.gif'>Go Home</a></span> My Css Code is PHP Code: #leftnavcontent .navitem { border-bottom:1px dotted #DADADA; font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; line-height:16px; } #leftnavcontent .navitem img { margin-right:5px; border:none; } My problem is that the image is not aligning with the text. As in there is just a slight maybe 1 or 2 pixel border bottom from the image that makes it dip just above the navitem box which makes it look a little funky. Any ideas? Code: <ul> <li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li> <li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li> <li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li> </ul> I would like to alight the above divs to the right. I tried to do something like: .right { float:right; width: 48%; } But that makes them seem to fall down one line and the stack funny. I also tried to do something line: Code: <ul> <li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li> <li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li> <li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li> </ul> And Code: .left { float:left; width:48%; } .right { float:right; width: 48%; } But they all sorta did wierd things I didn't understand. Then I thought perhaps the LI weren't block elements and so that's why they were getting screwed up. So i wrapped a div around both right and left, but that didn't seem to work either. TIA, Mark How does one align the text to the left of a div? I have "text-align:left;" specified, however the text is centered when it is too narrow to fill the screen. The URL of the page in question is http://what-is-what.com . If you type an illegal character, such as "=", in the Ask box then the narrow text that is returned appears centered. Other narrow pages on the same site do the same, of course. Tested in Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Ubuntu. I'm trying to figure out how to align the text with the text so that it text starts up and to the top right of the image. And I"m talking about the top middle div. http://kansasoutlawwrestling.com/v3/index.html I'd like to have a container, a row, really. And I'd like text aligned to the top of the div, and then some more text aligned to the bottom of the div, like this: ------------------------------------------ Top text Bottom text ------------------------------------------ The thing is, I can't use tables, so if someone knows how to accomplish in a completely tableless way, I'd appreciate it! I did try the following, but it didn't work: Code: .mainDiv{ position: relative; float: left; width: 150px; } .mainDiv .upper { top: 0; position: absolute; } .mainDiv .lower { bottom: 0; position: absolute; } hey all, here's my test page http://www.pyesnflpool.com/ at the top... Im trying to get the two links (Register & Recover Your Password) to be beside the arrows and Email Pye beside the mail image it is running off two scripts, one for the links (snippetSideLine)and the other is holding together the header (elementTopPage) As you can see on side-b I was making some effort to align them to the bottom with no success, my thoughts were to align to the bottom and than do a padding-bottom: 15px; or whatever, because I tried padding-top:120px to side-a which put the links in the right spot but left the rest of the page all over the place any help is much appreciated, thanks Code: <!-- snippetSideLine --> <div> <?php if (isset ($this->User) && !empty ($this->User)) { if ($this->User->Type == 1) { ?> <a href="../admin/index.php">Admin Panel</a> <?php } ?> <a href="../members/myaccount.php">My Account</a> <a href="index.php?Logout">Logout</a> <?php } else { ?> <a href="../members/register.php">Register</a> <a href="../members/forgotten.php">Recover Your Password</a> <?php } ?> </div> <!-- End: snippetSideLine --> Code: <!-- start: elementTopPage --> <style type="text/css"> #wrapper { text-align: left; vertical-align: text-bottom; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; border:0; width: 850px; } #side-a { float: left; width: 458px; height: 167px; background: url('../images/top_left.jpg') no-repeat; } #side-b { float: right; width: 168px; height: 167px; vertical-align: text-bottom; vertical-align: baseline; background: url('../images/top_right.jpg') no-repeat; } #content { float: left; width: 224px; height: 167px; background: url("../images/top_bg.jpg") repeat; } </style> <!-- elementTopPage --> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="side-a"> <?php $this->Snippet ('SideLine'); ?> </div> <div id="content"> </div> <div id="side-b"> email pye </div> </div> </div> <!-- End: elementTopPage --> I have a line item where I'm pulling in text and an image from a dB. I would like the text to align at the top and not sure how to do it. Code: <li>Song name <img src="beatles.jpg"> Artist Test page: Played songs I have tried margins but then the image moves and the text is always aligned at the bottom of the image. Thanks for your help! Hi all, I am attempting something new (to me at least). I have added two new images that will be backgrounds in my center content area. The first is this one . Everywhere that WAS white, I want to be this. Then, on TOP of that, and encapsulating the text itself, I want this one . Now, I thought I had this right, but it all isn't working. In FF, the first image isn't showing up at all. In IE, it shows up but is overlapping the tan area on the left by a pixel or two. In addition, all of this is way down south! I think the float: left is screwing things up, but I couldn't get anything right so I left it alone. Any help would, as always be greatly appreciated! Chris PS. URL is http://www.bartlett-family.net/BBCON/index3.html & CSS is at http://www.bartlett-family.net/BBCON/main3.css hey all, i have a page that has text on it and i am trying to add another div with a photo in it so that i can place the photo on the right had side and get the text to wrap around it. buti am having probs. the text doesn't wrap around the photo ... so the photo just ends up at the bottom of the text on the right... here is the code i am currently using for it Code: #rightphoto {position: absolute; right: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;} i have had various ideas but none have worked,,,,this is the latest... any ideas?? thanks RF Hi, can anyone help me with this problem? I using a graphic with individual boxes on it for links. I want to place text in the boxes describing the link. When I set the padding-top and line - height properties. The text aligns prefect with the graphic. The problem I am having is the padding-top property lowers the graphic placing it below the rest of the table elements. Below is the code for the table cell and the css style. <td height="261" valign="top"><table width="198" height="410" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="198" height="410" valign="top" class="td_1"><a href="#">Home</a> <br /> <a href="neoceram.php">Design</a> <br /> <a href="pyroceram.php">Development</a> <br /> <a href="patterns.php">Management</a> <br /> <a href="drilling.php">Portfolio</a> <br /> <a href="tints.php">Contact Us</a> <br /></td> </tr> .td_1 { background-image:url(nav_bar.gif); background-position:left; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color: transparent; padding-top: 66px; width: 154; font-size: 12px; font-weight:600; line-height: 21px; position: absolute; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } Thanks for all your help, mdh2000 Here is my development site: http://www.pursuedbybear.com/sunwashed/ Is there any way to vertically center the links in the left hand nav inside their orange boxes without resorting to a table? I've tried vertical-align: middle and padding-top the #nav ul li a element, but neither works. I've done some searching here and the results haven't been encouraging - anyone have something different I could try? I mean really, this isn't exactly a super-complicated or obscure thing I'm trying to do, you'd think CSS could handle it. Any advice? Hi, I need some help for aligning text inside a css box. let me first say, that i am using a wysiwyg editor and i am aware of this being a red flag for some folks .... to make my problem better understandable, please see following picture - this is how i want it to be: the area of interest is a 3 column box (left and right are fixed widths, middle column is variable), the middle box (highlighted in blue) is the box, which has a background picture ('Melanie Wanders') on the top/left .... then it has some text (one looong line) and also a picture to the right (alignment: right). what i wanted is, that when the user resizes the window, that the text is able to wrap around the image on the top right - and it does exactly that (you can also view the online version here) well, what happens is this: my problem: when i try to use the 'p' tags to enter a paragraph, it messes up the appearance in FF (completely) and it still shows the text right on the top, above the background image. I also tried to align the text line to the bottom of the box, but it wouldn't do so. i did also try to have the image ('Melanie Wanders') as an actual image aligned Top/Left, but it wouldn't wanna work for me with the other image next to it. i might get it to work, if this is my only option .... finally, here the code used (you will also find the code online, if you follow the above link) Code: .inner_middle_content_row { width: 100%; height:300px ; } .inner_middle_content_row_left { background-image: url(images/inner_table/left.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: right 0; width:125px; height:300px; float:left; } .inner_middle_content_row_right { background-image: url(images/inner_table/right.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; width:20px; height:300px; float:right; } .inner_middle_content_row_middle { background-color: white; background-image: url(images/about_us/melanie_title.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left top; width:auto; height:300px; margin-left:125px; margin-right:20px; } Code: <div class="inner_middle_content_row"> <!--agl:cssobject id="inner_middle_content_row" type="Column Middle Scale" /--> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_left"> <p class="submenu_brown">Melanie Wanders</p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="wilhelm%20wanders.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">Wilhelm Wanders</a></p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="philosophie.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">Philosophie</a></p> <p><a class="submenu_gray" href="history.html" onmouseover="this.className='submenu_brown';return true;" onmouseout="this.className='submenu_gray'">History</a></p> </div> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_right"></div> <div class="inner_middle_content_row_middle"> <img src="images/about_us/melanie_portrait.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="180" align="right" border="0" />Chef Melanie Wanders received her Culinary Arts and Management degree .... their own hand-made chocolate company - Wanders Artisan Chocolaterie.</div> it would be great to find a solution to this - the easy way out would be to just skip the background image and have the text start right on top left .... but i like the idea of having a nice title like this - please tell me your opinion though another thing i realize is, that the whole alignment is off in IE ... this is an issue i think i have read before and it has to do with this 3px or 5px off thing in IE right? i think i will look into this some other time. Thanx for reading this - please bare with me, as my mother-language is not english and i might have expressed myself not clearly Hi guys, I just wanted to say that I think devshed is a kick butt place for getting help with all sorts of CSS problems... always seems whenever I post that someone really helpful ends up helping me solve the problem in a way I hadn't thought of... So here's the issue: I need to put two elements into a div, one aligned on the left side and one aligned on the right Now what I'm looking at is the section where I have the Home text and the Quick News. So I've put the design into XHTML and CSS he But I can't seem to get the news line to move over properly. Any suggestions? I have used float:right but it just doesn't seem to work. I tried putting a div in and align=right but that pushes the element onto the next line which I don't want. Any ideas guys? There simply has got to be an easy way to align text within a div that I'm missing somehow. Thanks! |
