CSS - Centering A List Within A Table Column
I know this is probably soooo not kosher, but this is where I'm at ...
I have a star rating graphic that I got off the web that uses an HTML list, turned horizontally, to get the stars to light up when you hover over them. It took me ages to get it working, to customize it to my website's colors, and now it all works great. The only problem is I need it to appear centered in a table column, and no matter what I do with the css code I can't make it happen. I know I should probably be using divs and all, but I tried that, and ultimately decided tables is easier for this purpose. Anyway, if someone can forgive my sloppy, amateur ways and tell me how I can get this f-ing thing to center in my table column I would much appreciate it. Here's the css code: Code: /* star rating */
.star * {
float: right;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
list-style:none;
}
ul.rating{
background:url(images/star8.jpg) bottom;
height:21px;
width:115px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
ul.rating li{
display:inline
}
.rating a {
display:block;
width:23px;
height:21px;
float:right;
text-indent:-9999px;
position:relative;
}
.rating a:hover {
background:url(images/star8.jpg) center;
width:115px;
margin-left:-92px;
position:static;
}
.rating a:active {
background-position:top;
}
and here's the HTML code (in php format): Oops - won't let me send code because it contains URLs. Either way, it's a straight up table with three columns. Cheers. Julian Similar TutorialsHi, I am very new to CSS and very confused. I wrote my site about 10 years ago using tables and have been working very hard the last few weeks updating the code to CSS and XHTML. I have a navigation page that was made as a table using an image to replace the bullet and act as the link. I am having a terrible time rewriting the blasted thing without using a table. The columns will not line up (I suppose I do not understand how to use the negative margin properly) and when I try to use the clear: left; code so my bullet image lays properly it will only clear the bottom of the previous column so there is a giant gap in between the links. I have no idea what I am doing. Here is a link to what the page looks like using the old code. This page will NOT validate, the code is old and depreciated but if you have a peek you can se what I am trying to achieve. www.medeaslair.net/myths.html. Here is what I wrote but I am afraid it is very long. I apologize in advance for how bad it is. CSS Code:

Hi I am trying to make a table to display some stuff within a fix sized window. I want to have 5 columns of fixed width and one column that spans the rest of the remaining space. The Idea is to allow the widths of the first 5 columns to be changed by a script and having the last one adapting as needed... html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="container"><table cellspacing="0"> <colgroup> <col width="40" /> <col width="220" /> <col width="120" /> <col width="65" /> <col width="40" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> <th>D</th> <th>E</th> <th style="width: 100%;></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td style="width: 100%;></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { height: 400px; width: 800px; overflow: scroll; } table { width: 100%; } td { border-style: solid; border-color: silver; border-width: 0px; padding: 1px 3px; } th { border-style: outset; border-color: silver; border-width: 2px; background: silver; padding: 1px 3px; }
It really does fill the entire space but the last column crushes all the other into their minimal width resulting in linebreaks between words inside the cells... Please help me Hello, I am a fan of css and use it all the time. My one and only one problem with it is centering an image in a column that has been floated right. I've tried numerous ways to do this, but none have worked. Usually I end up adding a 2 column table, fixing the right column with x px, then adding images in rows in the left table column. This really does not center the image for all screen sizes, but it does move the images to the left. Also, margin-right:xpx would do about the same thing. This long-winded explanation leads to my css question: Is there a way to center images in a column that has been floated right? Maybe I am over-looking the obvious. Regards, Lee Hello, Thank you for reading my post This is what I try to create. A Vertical Navigator column with images, without knowing their size, as links and javascript actions. The images should be Horizontally centered. I want to set the width of the div 'navBar' dynamically so that the images inside the 'navElement's grows or shrink but stays in center. The images could be between 55 - 90 pixels width. And I want to have them grow or shrink between 40 - 80 px width. What I already got : The links and javascript actions are working. Also have a column working where the images are centered with a known size, but not working with images without knowing the size. I did try and search for several hours, but couldn't find a good solution. Mainly my question would be, how I can shrink or grow an image without knowing his size. Basicly my html code is Code: <div id="navBar"> <div class="navElement" id="nav1"> <img class="navImg" src="images/home.gif" /> </div> <div class="navElement" id="navN"> <img class="navImg" src="images/notHome.gif" /> </div> </div> my latest css for unknown image size Code: #navBar { /* main page navigation container */
height: 460px;
width: 70px; /* 1. this will be dynamically set */
left: 100px;
top: 151px;
position: absolute;
visibility: visible;
}
.navImg {
height: auto;
width: auto;
/* height: 60px;*/
/*width: inherit;*/
position: relative;
top:0px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#navElement1 {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 70Px;
top:0px;
margin:0 3px;
visibility: visible; }
With javascript I add a onclick event handler on each navImg wich trigger the action. This works to. Please, Is someone willing to help with pointers. Thanks in Advance SC Having an odd rendering problem involving centering content in a fixed-width right hand column that lies within a fixed width centered master content div. Take a look at the template he http://www.ipfwcommunicator.org/devindex.php At first I tried to center the content using align="center" in the HTML markup, which I know is a no-no, so I'm not too sad it didn't work. I then tried {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}, thinking it would work in IE as it does with tables, but it did not. Both of these attempts worked worked with most modern browsers (Moz/Firefox/Safari/NN7) but failed on MSIE5/Mac and IE6/Win. Nice and compliant, and I would be happy in a perfect world, but alas, 90% of my readers use a (vastly) imperfect browser. I decided to get a bit more professional and utilize CSS positioning, setting the DIVs that hold the content boxes (i.e., Weather/Search/etc.) as {position: relative; left: 15px;}This also worked in most browsers, but oddly enough on IE5 Mac (and assume IE6 win although I didn't have a chance to test) the boxes centered but the tables inside the weather/search boxes that allow for cross-platform formating jutted out the side. Lastly, and this is the current solution, since the column is fixed width and the boxes are fixed width, I used the "ice" solution of dividing the remaining margin by two, and setting margin-left: equal to that. In this case: {margin-left: 15px;} Oddly enough this works FINE on everything, even IE5/Mac, but doesn't work on IE6/Windows, which instead results in what appears to be 5 or 6px more than the defined 15px. Compare here between Firefox and IE6 and you'll see it. And CSS is here So the question: What IS the best way to center up those boxes in that column? This is my first major CSS undertaking, having worked with nested tables up until now, so any pointers on my bad markup will be gladly accepted Thanks in advance, Aiden Hi, http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/search.asp has a two column effect. The CSS for it is he http://www.dudley.nhs.uk/css/screen.css I was wondering why if there is a table in the right hand column with a width percentage over 77% there is some horizontal scrolling? This happens in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Janusz Jasinski I'm having trouble understanding how to vertically center an inline list in a div. Can anyone recommend some reading? The list is used for a horizontal nav bar with a background. I've set the height of the div to 20px because that's the height of the bg image. Also: Should the font specs be where they are (#nav ul) or maybe in the #nav section? Here's the code: Code: #nav {
background: url(../images/nav_bg2.gif);
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
height: 20px;
}
#nav ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}
#nav li{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.75em;
display:inline;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Just can't seem to get the list centered inside the div Let me start by saying I'm a PHP/MySQL guy, not a designer. I know enough CSS to get by, but my focus has been the data side, not the design side. Hell I usually just use tables so I don't have to mess with any of this crap. I guess it's come to the point where I need to update my design skills or be left in the dust (since you can outsource LAMP guys for $4 a friggin' hour now ) I'm using the pretty standard UL-LI menu set to display vertically. Now I've added a couple links and it's too big for one line if I want to maintain style at 800 x 600. I figured the easiest way was to let it wrap to 2 lines. It wraps fine, but everything is either left aligned or right. I'd like both of the rows to be centered. Is there an easy way to do this? Here's the general layout: PHP Code: // .main is the style for the container // #main is the positioning of this instance of main // .tree_menu_list is the vertical stuffs <div class="menu" id="main"> <ul class="tree_menu_list"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=vision">Vision</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=buying">Buying</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=renovation">Building</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=selling">Selling</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=payout">Payout</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=opportunities">Opportunities</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=services">Services</a></li> <li><a href="images.php">Photos</a></li> </ul> </div> I have two problems with template I am creating. I could not center the page whatever I tried and for some reason list-style do not appear correct. edit: Actually just realized list styles does not appear at all. http://efetuncel.win.aplus.net/ryt/new/ Hello All, I am trying to get a "horizontal menu" in CSS to properly center in my "#topbar" dev which is basically a header that is 100% width of the page. I have the website name, then the menu which is to be centered directly below it. I have searched google for hours and found one website (I guess cause i'm new it won't let me put the url in here) and it broke down each section of the CSS and it says that to horizontally position the menu just add text-align: center; to the #tabsE ul section, but that doesn't change anything at all. I have also tried replacing the float values with margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (I've used those to center images before) and that just destroys the menu (it all shifts to the right side of the screen, and spaces out vertically). I am really kind of stuck here, I'm pretty new to CSS and most the basics are clicking, it seems to me that centering items so far has been one of the biggest pains yet. Here is the CSS: Code: /*- Menu Tabs E--------------------------- */
#tabsE {
width:100%;
background:#000;
font-size:93%;
line-height:normal;
}
#tabsE ul {
margin:0;
padding:10px 10px 0 0px;
list-style:none;
}
#tabsE li {
display:inline;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#tabsE a {
text-align: center;
background:url("tableftE.gif") no-repeat left top;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 4px;
text-decoration:none;
}
#tabsE a span {
text-align: center;
display:block;
background:url("tabrightE.gif") no-repeat right top;
padding:5px 15px 4px 6px;
color:#000;
}
/* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#tabsE a span {float:none;}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */
#tabsE a:hover span {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#tabsE a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE a:hover span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
I tried to post the HTML (its just a standard <ul> with list </ul>) but it won't let me, because it contains url's so, I can e-mail you that if neccesary. I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Chris Hey guys... Now i'm obcessed with CSS, i've def got the bug! I have a list of bullets, using <ul> and <li>. Now rather than have one column, i want two columns, spaced evenly. Now before i would just add a table, but i dont want to, as they are evil! So now i wanted to use CSS? Now currently the list is housed in a <div class='displaybox'>, with the CSS as below. So i could just add a table inside (ie 1 row, 2 cols) and then add the list elements to each side. or is it correct to use a table in this instance? Charlie I have a list of items and I want to have them in several columns. I will have them in 3 or 4 columns or have it have a set size, like 200px width and have it adjust for the screen resolution. I set the width on the li or a and that does noting. How do i set the width without having to use block? Thanks <ul id="galleryList"> <li><a href="/galleries/index/3">Futurama</a> <li><a href="/galleries/index/4">Simpsons</a> <li><a href="/galleries/index/5">Family Guy</a> <li><a href="/galleries/index/8">Aqua Teen Hunger Force</a> ... </ul> #galleryList { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline; float:left; } #galleryList li { margin-left: 2px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; list-style: none; } #galleryList li a { display: inline; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-color: #cccccc; } I cannot get IE6 or 7 to display bullets when using a nested 2 column list. Can it be done or must I use images? Firefox, Opera and Safari work as expected. OK, I'm back for another CSS lesson - this time on lists. My site is designed with typical three-column layout. The left and right columns are floated and the center column contains most of my content. Sometimes in the center column of a page I want to include a list, either ordered or unordered. This page is a splendid example: http://stallinswebdesign.com/vs/general_OfficersContactInfo.php. I do not yet know how to manipulate the positioning of a list (and lots of other block-level things, truth be told). 1. Can you share with me how to nudge this unordered list (with list-style-type set to none) to the left a wee bit so that it lies about 1em to the right of that left border? 2. Can you share with me a CSS standards-based technique for marking up the first element of a list so that it is left-adjusted and all of the following list elements are indented from it (and I can adjust the amount of indentation), so the list looks like this: Code:
My Team Euskaltel-Euskadi 2005 Orbea Orca is a kick-tail bike because
every cyclist knows that orange and black are the fastest colors
any bike that wins Frame of the Year and Bike of the Year is a winner
the frame stiffness is top-shelf, and the power transfer is amazing
Or, if one can do that with semantic markup other than lists, please let me know. Thank you all for looking; I appreciate your effort. Can anyone please tell me why cant i see a table centered by using this style sheet? All other elements are centered except form the tables tmemselves. Code:

I'm trying to center a table with CSS, because apparently putting align="center" in the table tag doesn't validate as HTML Strict. I've tried table.center { position: fixed; left: 50%; } but that makes the table go off of the page. I've tried all the options given on w3schools.com with their positioning lessons, but none of them work. Any suggestions? Seems like I'm always trying to get something to render correctly in IE but this time it's firefox that is acting ornery. There's not much to the page I'm working on. The table (#schoolstable) should be centered in the #mainbody div. Works in ie, fails in firefox. Here's my css: Code: /* = Default Layout

Hi, Im having a problem centering a DIV table exactly how i want it too. I want to be use the DIV table so that it will be only a few pixel away from the top.. so lets say 80px from the top and being centered horizontaly, so that it will display the samething for both 1024x768 & 800x600. ps: the DIV table needs to be aligned to the right so that the image will appear on the right in both 1024x768 & 800x600 I have included/attached a image to kinda give a better idea. |
