CSS - Center Child Div In Parent, But Child Is Wider
Just like the title says, the child is wider than the parent, and i want it automatically centered, so t hat the centers of both divs are inline with each other.
I tried the Code: margin 0px auto; which works if the child is smaller, but it doesn't seem to work in this case, any other ideas? Similar Tutorialshttp://weightlossforever.ca/ Works fine in everything but ie7 the leaves appear in front of their parent, they should be behind it. Thoughts? I have like this psudo-code: Code: <div id=parent position: absolute> <div id=child1 position: relative> </div> <div id=child2 position: absolute> </div> </div> As I fill up child1 with text or content, the parent grows along with it. I would like the child2 div to grow along with it as well. That is the concept. Here is the real code: Code: <div style="border: solid 3px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0; width: 300px"> <div style="border: solid green; position: relative; width: 150px"> <p class="bodyCopy"> Lots of text to fill out the div and make it grow. <br/><br/> A lot more text I wish I knew that latin phrase everyone uses to fill out text, better than making stuff up <br/><br/>The next paragraph to make a div grow. <p class="bodyCopy"> Lots of text to fill out the div and make it grow. <br/><br/> A lot more text I wish I knew that latin phrase everyone uses to fill out text, better than making stuff up <br/><br/>The next paragraph to make a div grow. <p class="bodyCopy"> Lots of text to fill out the div and make it grow. <br/><br/> A lot more text I wish I knew that latin phrase everyone uses to fill out text, better than making stuff up <br/><br/>The next paragraph to make a div grow. </div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; height: 100%; width: 10px; border: solid red 3px;"> </div> <div style="border: solid blue 1px; position: absolute; height: 10px; width: 10px; left: 200px; bottom: -14px;"> </div> </div> I also have a test page here This pretty much does what I would expect(or what I want) in FF, but not IE or Opera. I would like this to be dynamic and not use any javascript. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your time, CJB I have elements in a certain class and they may have child elements. I want to position the child so that it's TOP is at the bottom of the parent. Right now its top is at a fixed place relative to the parent. The parent is variable height. So in my css I have ul.parent ul { top: <bottom of parent> } How do I refre to it? I'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Hello All... I'm making lay-out page based on 2 section (left panel and main) using div layer and wrap it under 1 parent layer. My confusion arise as IE and FF doesn't treat equally (again!) FF seems to ignore the parent CSS definition while IE obey it, so the background and border value i define in it's parent tag apply on IE but not in FF. Here is the code related : CSS Code: Original - CSS Code .all2 { width:900px; border-bottom: groove #888888 2px; border-left: groove #888888 2px; border-right: groove #888888 2px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom:auto; text-align: left; background-color: #FFECC7; padding:0; } .leftpanel { float: left; display: block; width:125px; font: 10px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left; padding-top: 25px; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px; } .mainpanel { float: left; display: block; width: 694px; border-left: groove #888888 1px; padding-top: 15px; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px; text-align:justify; }
.all2 {
The HTML : Code: <div class="all2"> <div class="leftpanel"> ..... Left Panel Text </div> <div class="mainpanel"> .... Main Body Text </div> </div> The Doc Type is XHTML 1.0 Transitional Many thanks in advanced Hello all. I want to hide everything in a div with a particular id except for a specific tag. In other words, I want to be able to do the following: Code:
<style type="text/css">
#outer { display: none; }
#outer p { display: block; }
</style>
<div id="outer">
<p>This is text. </p>
<h1>This is more text. </h1>
</div>
Where "This is text. " would appear but "This is more text. " would not appear? Is this possible? I understand the inheritance that #outer p is getting the display: none property from the parent but does not mean I cannot override it? Please look at this page - http://www.soarminden.com/glider-soaring-gallery.asp I put a red border on parent element. The children divs appear outside the parent at page bottom? Can someone shed some light please? I think the issue is with the styling of the div(s) innerLeftColumn or LeftColumn Code: <div style='width:670px;margin:0;border:1px solid red;min-height:500px;position:relative;'> <div style='width:175px;height:150px;float:left;margin:20px 0 20px 10px;clear:left;'> <img src='images/gallery/1/tom6.jpg' style='width:175px;height:150px;margin-bottom:3px;'/><br /> <h4 style='text-align:center;font-size:12px;margin:0;padding-bottom:10px'><a href='glider-soaring-gallery2.asp?subject=1' style='color:#00f;line-height:1;text-decoration:undeline !important;'>Tom Hall Soaring</a></h4> </div> <div style='width:175px;height:150px;float:left;margin:20px 0 20px 10px;'> <img src='images/gallery/12/phil-jones2.jpg' style='width:175px;height:150px;margin-bottom:3px;'/><br /> <h4 style='text-align:center;font-size:12px;margin:0;padding-bottom:10px'><a href='glider-soaring-gallery2.asp?subject=12' style='color:#00f;line-height:1;text-decoration:undeline !important;'>Phil Jones Goes Gold & Diamond!</a></h4> </div> <div style='width:175px;height:150px;float:left;margin:20px 0 20px 10px;'> <img src='images/gallery/13/wedding1.jpg' style='width:175px;height:150px;margin-bottom:3px;'/><br /> <h4 style='text-align:center;font-size:12px;margin:0;padding-bottom:10px'><a href='glider-soaring-gallery2.asp?subject=13' style='color:#00f;line-height:1;text-decoration:undeline !important;'>Wolfram and Lydia's Wedding</a></h4> </div> <div style='width:175px;height:150px;float:left;margin:20px 0 20px 10px;clear:left;'> <img src='images/gallery/15/DSC_6547.jpg' style='width:175px;height:150px;margin-bottom:3px;'/><br /> <h4 style='text-align:center;font-size:12px;margin:0;padding-bottom:10px'><a href='glider-soaring-gallery2.asp?subject=15' style='color:#00f;line-height:1;text-decoration:undeline !important;'>Brennan Hall Soaring Lake Tahoe</a></h4> </div> <div style='width:175px;height:150px;float:left;margin:20px 0 20px 10px;'> <img src='images/gallery/16/teresa.jpg' style='width:175px;height:150px;margin-bottom:3px;'/><br /> <h4 style='text-align:center;font-size:12px;margin:0;padding-bottom:10px'><a href='glider-soaring-gallery2.asp?subject=16' style='color:#00f;line-height:1;text-decoration:undeline !important;'>Teresa Luther</a></h4> </div> </div> A minimal example is easier than trying to describe the problem: analogdawn.com/test/overlap.html I understand what the problem is, the children are set to fill 100% of the parent, and that doesn't include the padding and border widths. My question is: How can I fix that easily, while still using padding and borders? I need to have a liquid width, so the DIV widths need to stay percentage based. Any help will be appreciated. Here is the code: Code: <html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: grey;
}
#wrap {
width: 75%;
border: 2px solid red;
}
.border {
width: 100%;
border: 2px solid yellow;
padding: 2px;
background-color: orange;
}
.text {
color: white;
width: 100%;
border: 2px solid lightgreen;
padding: 2px;
background-color: black;
}
</style>

Here's my situation... I have a div, that's a child to a div. I want the child to be behind the parent, but a part of it sticking out from the side and people can click on the child. Because of the cms\framework I'm working with, the div i want to click needs to stay a child of this particular parent. I can get it working in IE, but that's it. Also, the parent div MUST be set to overflow:visible, for other misc reasons. Take a look at the attached image for a visual of what I mean. Is there a way of changing a parent class based on a child class like. ../[class=child]{ } This way i can change a parent class if it has this child Any ideas? Hi guys wonder if i could get a hand, I have a problem with an applet from the bbcnews website - essentially my portal has dynamic content, and sometimes this is pushed against the menu bar. It works fine, until used in IE6/7, when you roll over the parent on the menu bar, the child goes under the applet, again only in IE. I have tried every type of z-index trick going to no avail - is it an issue with the JScript or css, and more to the point is there a fix? Thanks a million for you help in advance, as theres no upload script here and this portal is in a secure location i'll copy the test code below for you to generate an htm with. <--------> CODE <--------> Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">

i have a <div> inside another <div> I want the parent div to stay exactly where it is, and the child div to be inside it but with a 20px margin from the top. But when I add the 20px margin, the parent div moves downwards by 20px so the child div is still at the very top edge. Example of what is happening is he http://www.eionbryant.com/test.html I want the green area "#wrap" to be flush with the purple strip... and the grey area "#boxes" to begin inside the green area 20px down. I am learning css, so i would prefer someone explained how I am doing it wrong, rather than offering some work around. cheers Code: <body> <div id="strip"> </div> <div id="wrap"> <div id="boxes"> </div> </div> </body> </html> Code:
body {background:#FFFFF; font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Times, serif; padding:0; margin:0; position:relative; }
#strip {background:#663366; width:100%; height:10px; padding:0; border:0;}
#wrap {background:#00FFCC; width:100%; height:700px; margin:0 auto; }
#boxes {background:#666666; margin: 20px auto; width:800px; height:200px; clear:both;}
How could I Force a parent div to vertically expand to size of its child div? Thanks in advance, Richard Carson Hi, I've been stuck on this for the last few days and was wondering if you could help me. I'm not even sure if using javascript is the best option to do this, but if you could help me anyway that would be great. My dilemma is I'm designing a website which has several links in the left hand navigation bar. But at the moment, the links open in a new window. I don't want that. I want them to open in the main area of the parent window. Normally if i'd used frames, opening the links within that same page wouldn't have been a problem because I could just use the target attribute. But I didn't use frames, I used CSS layouts but when I set the target attribute to _parent, the links open up across the whole page rather than just in the main section.Can some one provide some code to point me in the right direction of how to do this? I have the following code, simplified from wordpress for clarity: Code: <div class="entry"> <p><img width="800" class="size-full" src="image.jpg" /></p> <p>This is text.</p> </div> What I am trying to do is indent the text to a position 15 pixels inside the width of the image. In other words, shift ".entry p" 15 pixels right, and shift ".entry p img.size-full" 15 pixels left. The complicating factor is that some of the images are not full width, and so the img.size-full selector has auto margins to center the image. So what I need to have is something like Code:
/* indent the P tag */
entry p {
margin-left: 15px;
}
/* center the img */
img.size-full {
margin: 5px auto;
}
/* This is where I fall down. I can identify the img, but I need to
affect the margin of the p tag, not the img tag, to change the
margin. If I change the img tag, then then centering goes away */
entry p img.size-full {
?????
}
Is this possible? ...Mike http://cwin.redirectme.net/ext/ch/test.html ^ On IE, this works fine, the parent is red as expected, whereas on Mozilla, the parent has a white background. If i have no floats, it works as expected Hi I found it: ********************** Code:
#tableLeftCol ul.menu li#current a {
background-image: url('../images/menu-active-rect.gif');
background-position: right top;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#tableLeftCol ul.menu li#current ul li a {
background-image: none;
}
*************************** I have a nested list representing a menu. I want the active menuitems (listitem) link to have a background image. When active menuitem is a parent then all the childs also get the background image...... How to I change the CSS so only active menuitems link get the background image set, and not the child links of the parent? If possible, I want to make it work without changing any in the HTML! Here is current CSS and list structu Code:
#tableLeftCol ul.menu li#current a {
background-image: url('../images/menu-active-rect.gif');
background-position: right top;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#tableLeftCol ul.menu li ul li#current a {
background-image: url('../images/menu-active-rect.gif');
background-position: right top;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
Code: <div id="tableLeftColPadding"> <ul class="menu"> <li id="current" class="parent active item54"> <a href="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=54"> <span>Parent</span> </a> <ul> <li class="item57"> <a href="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=57"> <span>Child-A</span> </a> </li> <li class="item81"> <a href="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=81"> <span>Child-B</span> </a> </li> <li class="item59"> <a href="/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=59"> <span>Child-C</span> </a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> I am having a problem where I have a <div> that holds my body image, margin: 0 auto; Inside that is my content <div> with margin:15px; but this is visually dropping the background image's margin by 15px. The problem compounds every time I add another margin/padding requirement into the rest of the <div>. Code: html, body {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/background.png);
}
#body_image {
width:935;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0px;
background-image:url(images/interface/body.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
#container {
width:904px;
height:750px;
margin:15px;
}
#slug {
height:15px;
}
Code: <div id="body_image"> <div id="container"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </div> The extent of my CSS is a few tutorials online and the class I took 10 years ago where the teacher said "Here's CSS, you can't do much more than change your font size and color with it... on to tables!" Thought it'd only be fair to give you a little background. How do I distinguish <li> that have child from the one that does not in an unordered list, using CSS? |
