CSS - Text-align:center Not Working :(
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. Similar TutorialsOK, 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 was having some trouble centering my layout in Firefox. It looked fine in IE6 (yes... it's a pain to work in, but it's the nature of the beast when doing internal intranet stuff) when I simply used "text-align: center;" but the layout wouldn't center until I added "text-align: -moz-center;" under that (in the body style). Is this an acceptable way of doing things? Is this a flaw in Firefox or is it more likely that I'm not doing things right? (yes I know I haven't posted code, this was more a high level question of when/if "text-align: -moz-center;" should be used). I have some text in a DIV that is updated dynamically with removeChild() and appendChild(). I've tried numerous combinations but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code div.chatlayer { position: absolute; top: -50px; left: 50px; border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius: 10px; padding: 5px; background-color: white; min-width: 100px; width: auto; text-align: center; visibility: hidden; }
div.chatlayer {
How do I align an actual text input box to the center of the screen using css? I am relatively new to using div tags - transitioning from table tag to organize pages. I want the checkboxes to be aligned to the left inside a container that is centered in the body. Currently it is all aligned to the left for some reason. The body tag has no text-align or any other css rule manually set. Code: <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid;width:400px; position: relative; clear:both;"> <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: left;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid; position: relative; clear:both;"> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="cartoon">cartoon<BR> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="comicstrips">comicstrips<BR> </div> </div> thanks. Firefox: all looks fine except the checkbox container does not appear to be inside the surrounding container - the outer container div appears as a line (it's border) at the top of the inside div with the checkboxes IE8: on a test page with nothing else - appears as Firefox. In my page with several other divs it appears with one container inside another fine, but the main container is not centered. I have looked at several tutorials about float etc but...wits end... thanks. im sure this may be answered somewhere on this forum inside another post, but using search, i could not find anyone who had actually asked this specific question... i found a few posts back in 2002 that never got a responce... i'd hope we'd have an answer 3 years later... anyhow, my question is quite simple... i think.. i have a div that is 50px in height, and has some text inside it.. the text aligned center, and now i want it to vAlign center.. but the CSS doesnt seem to work... my problem is that the text in that field changes quite often, and having to constantly change margins in CSS would be a pain. anyhow, now for a snippit Code:
.advertboxtitle {
margin:10px 0px 0px 110px;
height:50px;
border:1px dashed #900;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
color:#CCFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
}
.advertboxtitlevalign {
vertical-align:middle;
}
Code: <div class="advertboxtitle"> <span class="advertboxtitlevalign">From X-Box to Xbox</span> </div> anyhow, reason why it is in a span is because i read that inline elements react to vertical-align:middle... but apparently not... anyhow, here is a link.. http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/middle.htm the text needs to be align verticaly in the dashed red box. thanks 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
{
font-family: "Lucida Sans";

Thanks very much. I'm wondering how to "vertical-align: middle" the text in the anchor tags. I haven't got that part to work. Code:
a.aMenuLinks:link
{
color: #666666;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 15px;
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
display: block;
}
Thanks... I have a <p> tag with text inside of it with a height of 20px and width of 100px. Horizontal text alignment works fine within in, but I want the text to sit in the middle of the tag and I just can't do it. It defaults to sitting at the top. I try vertical-align: middle, but that doesn't work. None of the the vertical aligns do anything in fact Hi, I'm using XHTML & CSS (strict dtd) and using one large table to format my pages. Within the table I have different alignments and any other sort of thing that you would find in a table. W3.org says my XHTML --AND-- CSS are VALID, so why does the main table render off to the left of the page in Netscape?? Everything within the table is great, but the table itself is not centered. I'm using CSS in the following manner to try to center it currently Code: <!-- All the doctype stuff and head tags go here...--> <body style="text-align:center"> <!-- Rest of the document --> It works greate in IE (but what doesen't), so is this the wrong attribute to use to center the documents content in Netscape. As you may know "<center>" is not defined in the XHTML strict dtd so that options out. Thanks for any help or suggestions, Kalan When i float my div to the left, i cant seem to get the text to align right, can someone show me a way out of this horriable predicament i have found my self in!! a div works with this style, but a span does not. i want part to be left (defalut by the css file style applied), and then the inline span style to be to the right. not working: Code: echo "<a title='".$link['desc']."' href='".$linkurl."' class='cmenulink'>".$link['title']."</a>"; echo "<span style='text-align: right; padding: 1px;'>In: ".$link['in']."

My new site can be found at http://www.rockapedia.co.uk/index2.php It works exactly how I want it in Firefox but IE doesn't appear to centre the whole page. Can someone advise please. Hi when i use this in my css file Code: div.head {
width: 100%;
border: 1px dotted black;
align: center;
}
and place an image within the div using head class. it doesn't put the image in the center of the div. however if on the page i use Code: <div class=head align=center><img src='pic.gif'></div> it does work. can anybody guide me please why the align attribute doesn't take affect from css file? thank you i've heard talk of text-align wrapper hacks, or just plain using tables... i got my main container div to align center by setting it to "margin:auto" but that code doesnt work for the divs inside that div.... can you please help me out... cuz i dont even know what the text-align hack is... i just have heard of it/ |
