CSS - Page Center - Slightly Off

I am trying to center this entire page, and it does show up centered in IE; however, after checking with BrowserShots.org, in all browsers other than IE, the header image is centered, but the rest is aligned on the left side....??!!

Here is the page: http://www.georgiaspinal.com/indexTESTBR2.html

Here is the CSS file I am using:

Code:

body {margin:25px; font:12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; }
* {padding:0; margin:0}

#wrapper {
  text-align: center;
  width: 770px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}


.hidden { display: none; }
.unhidden { display: block; }
<div id="article" class="hidden">

Thanks for any help here!!!

I have a single column layout with a fixed width (say, 700 px), centered in the window, composed of header, body, and footer divs in a wrapper div. I would like background images, left and right of the center column (two images, because they sort of fade up to the edge of the centerd div).

How is this done?

Is there a way to center the entire page using CSS?

Fixed the problem myself.
I added a strict doctype, and it fixed itself.

Previous Issue:
------------------

I wrote out all the code to my website. However, everything is aligned to the left (default).

In an attempt to center everything, I simply stuck everything into a <div> tag, and said this:

Code:

<div style="width:630px; margin: 4px auto;">
//My entire website
</div>

This solution works both with FF and Chrome, but not with IE.

Any ideas?

I'm trying to center a gridview on a page. Pretty straightforward. I just don't understand why this gridview will not center on the page. I have no other css. They instructions are left aligned fine.

This is the code I have for the css.

Code:

#mid
{
	text-align:center;
}
p.instr
{
	text-align:left;
	color:Silver;
}

<div id="maincontainer">
	<div id="mid">
            <p class="instr">bunch of instructions</p>
		<asp:Panel ID="pnlMainMenu" runat="server">
			<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" Runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
			</asp:GridView>       
		</asp:Panel>    
    </div>
</div> 

Hello,

I have the following code that creates a progress bar:

Code:

<style>
table.meter {
    background: url("img/m_bg.gif") left center repeat-x;
    height: 13px;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    }

table.meter td.mark{
    background: url("img/m_mark.gif") right center repeat-x;
    }

table.meter td.mark div{
    background: url("img/m_l.gif") left center no-repeat;
    }

table.meter td{
    background: url("img/m_r.gif") right center no-repeat;
    }

</style>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="meter" width="250">
<tr>
  <td id="mark" width="60%" class="mark"><div>&nbsp;</div></td>
  <td>&nbsp</td>
  </tr>
</table>

This will make only image progress bar, but how can I write percents straight after table (on the right)?
I need it to look something like this:

<|||||||| > 60%

But if I write "60%" after </table> tag, it will appear on the next line, and if I add another <td> to the table, it will inherit background from table.meter style and I don't need that.

Hope somebody help me.
Thank you in advance.

In my first attempt at a heavily CSS-based layout, I've run into this frustrating problem. I currently cannot get IE to remove 2px around my search box and line up correctly.

Example FF:



Everything lines up perfectly.

Example IE:



You can see that the box around the search input is 2px lower than the box to the left.

Here are the applicable classes:

css Code:
Original - css Code /* class for the div containing the search input */ .search { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; border-bottom:1px solid black; vertical-align:middle; background-color:#FFFADE; text-align:center; padding-top:3px; margin-bottom:5px; height:20px; } /* class for the input fields */ .inputbox { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size : 10px; color : #000000; background-color : white; border : 1px solid black; } /* for the containing table td */ #right_boxes { font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight:normal; font-size:12px; width:145px; border-left:1px solid black; padding:20px; border-top:4px solid black; }

  

  


 /* class for the div containing the search input */


 .search


     {


   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;


   font-size: 11px;


   color: #000000;


   border-bottom:1px solid black;


   vertical-align:middle;


   background-color:#FFFADE;


   text-align:center;


   padding-top:3px;


   margin-bottom:5px;


   height:20px;


     }


 /* class for the input fields */


 .inputbox {


   font-family      : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;


   font-size        : 10px;


   color            : #000000;


   background-color : white;


   border           : 1px solid black;


 }


 /* for the containing table td */


 #right_boxes


 {


         font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;


         font-weight:normal;


         font-size:12px;


         width:145px;


         border-left:1px solid black;


         padding:20px;


         border-top:4px solid black;


 } 

The HTML for this section:
html4strict Code:
Original - html4strict Code <td id="right_boxes" valign="top"> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <div align="left" class="search"> <input alt="search" class="inputbox" type="text" name="searchword" size="20" value="search..." onblur="if(ths.value=='') this.value='search...';" onfocus="if(this.value=='search...') this.value='';" /> </div> <input type="hidden" name="option" value="search" /> </form>

  

 <td id="right_boxes" valign="top">


 <form action="index.php" method="post">


 <div align="left" class="search">                              


 <input alt="search" class="inputbox" type="text" name="searchword" size="20" value="search..."  onblur="if(ths.value=='') this.value='search...';" onfocus="if(this.value=='search...') this.value='';" />


 </div>


 <input type="hidden" name="option" value="search" />


 </form>            


  

I have tried everything that I can think of. Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Conor

The Origin
After getting back from his jaunt, Charles started work on his theory of evolution. Distracted by games of Reversi, Freecell and Solitaire on his computer, he took quite a while but then he heard that some Australian bloke named Wallace had come up with a similar idea so he got a move on to prevent his thunder being stolen.

In 1858 Darwin and Wallance presented a joint paper to the Linnean Society of London that sent rumbles across the establishment and really quite upset a lot of people. The next year saw the publication of Darwin's 500-page 'abstract' - 'On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races In The Struggle For Life' (or OTOOSBMONSOTPOFRITSFL for short).

I have ads on the side of my website that when clicked open a div with a larger ad. The problem is that if a user has scrolled the page down and then clicks the ad, the div shows at the top of the page out of view, how can I fix this. I have tried position:fixed, relative and inherit as well as absolute but nothing works.

Every time I switch Web pages, the display starts at the far left and jumps to center. Is there a way to correct this and still allow for variations in screen sizes and resolution.

how do i center align table on page with CSS?

Hi,

Please help!
I have multiple ul lists and I'm trying to float each list left and center on the screen all of them using css. I'm not trying to have an inline list. I'm trying to keep the three list, float left but center on the page.

floating works but I'm having problems centering on the page. I have used margin-left and right:auto but because I'm using float left if stays on the left. Does anyone have any solutions.

thank-you in advance

Hi,

Here's the site I'm working with:
http://www.cjfusion.com

I want to get that image centered on the browser window and then depending on how big the viewers screen is, the browser will cover up the left and the right. I hope that makes sense. I almost want it to be fluid, but I'm unsure how to do that.

Ask questions if this doesnt make sense. Its hard to explain.
