CSS - Center A Floating Div
I need to center a div which contains two columns. Its important that the div encapsulates the content within. This is what I've done so far:
CSS: Code: * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
float: left;
width: 960px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 650px;
}
.right {
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="container"> <div class="left"> left content goes here </div> <div class="right"> right content goes here </div> </div> Question: Is it possible to center #container to the middle of the page? Using margin: 0 auto; doesnt work with floating divs. Its very important that #container has a border around .left and .right. Any help will be appreciated Similar TutorialsHello I am very new to CSS. One of my problems is that my web experience is only in tools that generate the code. I"m needing what I"m told is a simple thing to do, but not finding it easy for me I tried to post with some links to my site, etc, but the rules won't let me post any links. I have posted in another CSS site, but fine it very inactive and not getting any help. What I'm trying to do All items below to make up the header of the site. A background graphic which fills across the screen, no matter the size of the window. I have this working, although if I shrink the window too far, it overwrites the graphic in item 2 below. A left justified logo graphic. Working fine. A Centered graphic. I have this showing, but it is not quite centered right, and it is a bit smaller than actual, and I cannot get it to space down a bit. (tried padding, does nothing. Trying margin spaces everything down, including item 1 above. A right justified graphic. This shows, but is VERY SMALL, much smaller than original graphic, and it does not right justify. NOTES The current code, below, is based on a tutorial I went through, using % for width. The idea being that if it is built based on percent of width, then whatever width of window, it would adjust. I used 900px for original calculations. I find that it only fills the window as if it is 900 px wide. So I redid the percentages based on 1500px. I've done lots of reading, Googling, and been trying all kinds of stuff and getting not too far with it. Tried px for width too, seems worse. Here is a print screen of the header: [IMG]URL[/IMG] Sigh...sorry...even img code has a url, and even though it showed in preview, I see it will not display it in actual message. The site I"m working on is shuttermaster.co (not com), where you can see what it looks like now. CSS Code Only including the code relevant to the header issue. I do have menu code in CSS, but it is not complete, and I'm not having problems with that. Code: #myHeader {width:auto;height:133px;
background:url(/photos/i-QXfPgvM/0/S/i-QXfPgvM-S.jpg) repeat-x}
#myLogo {
float:left;
width:10%;
height:150px ;
margin-left:2.22%;
display:inline;
background:url(/photos/i-sttGP6Z/1/O/i-sttGP6Z.png) no-repeat}
#myConame {
width: 15.33%;
height:90px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background:url(/photos/i-T3ZjJ8R/2/Th/i-T3ZjJ8R-Th.png) no-repeat}
#myBanner {
float:right;
width: 29.73%;
height:150px;
background:url(/photos/i-BkhSxLJ/1/Th/i-BkhSxLJ-Th.png) no-repeat}
The HTML Code Code: <div id="myHeader">
<div id="myLogo"></div>
<div id="myConame"></div>
<div id="myBanner"></div>

I hope I have been clear enough. Hoping someone can point me the right direction. Regards, and thanks.... I am using the following code how do I change it so that it would show up in the center of the brower window? Thanks Tim PHP Code: <div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; z-index: 1; top: 0px; align: center\"> <object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0 ,0\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" id=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\"> <param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" /> <param name=\"loop\" value=\"false\" /> <param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /> <param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /> <param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /> <embed src=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" loop=\"false\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" name=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /> </object> </div> Hi Everyone, I've been doing modest CSS for a while now and feel like I have a good grasp of it, and generally find a way of doing what I want. But, this has always bugged me and I need to understand what is going on... I think it's a question of Floating. This is in reference to http://www.arabellamusic.co.uk I want the blog posts to be on the left, and some other content on the right. How is the best way to go about doing this? You can check my source, but this was my thinking: Code: HTML
<div class='inner'>
<div class='left'>
BLOG PHP HERE
</div>
<div class='right'>
SOME OTHER STUFF HERE
</div>
</div>
And the CSS:
.inner { width:788px; }
.left { float:left; width:50%; }
.right { float:left; width:50%; }
If you grab my stylesheet and my source, you will see that I have a couple more things in there, but I don't think they could be affecting the rest (text-align etc...) So, am I doing this wrong? I have floated columns in other websites this way and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Incidentally, once it would only work when I set 49% to each, I was assuming this was something to do with the box model I read about, but wasn't too sure. I will try not to play around with the site too much until I get a reply or two, but a few things may jump around as I try stuff! Thanks in advance... James Learning CSS and trying to emulate the following table: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Text 1 |----------------| | | Text 2 | Inner box text| | | Text 3 |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| I can get a nested div to work vertically but not horizontally. I'm trying: Code:
div#container { float: left }
div#title { float: right }
<div id="container">
hello<br>hello
<div id="title">
Text 1<br />
Text 2
</div>
</div>
Which is producing: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Hello | | Hello | | |----------------| | | | Text 1 | | | | Text 2 | | | |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| Perhaps a positioning thing which I don't understand yet? It's not homework so you don't have to do it for me, but rather you could just point to knowledge sources.... Tx! I currently have the following layout Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
how do i go about making the same layout but using CSS. Each <td> is 50% wide I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? Hi, Can someone help me with why the following header bar doesn't work in Firefox? It just shows the very top of the bar with the two other divs inside of it. Code:
<div class="cmsHeader">
<div style="float: left;">Page Name</div>
<div style="float: right;"><a href="" title='Add Page'><img src='images/icons/file_(add)_16x16.gif' border='0' alt='Add Page'></a></div>
</div>
.cmsHeader{
background: #809096;
padding: 5px;
width: 98%;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.cmsHeader a{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
.cmsHeader a:hover{
text-decoration: underline;
}
hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance I use form field hints on my sign up page. I am trying to float it to right with the codes below but its not happening. .hint { float:right; display: none; position:absolute; width: 150px; border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; background: #d7d7d7; } www.pearl.ru/isdunyasi/signup.asp I have a web page in which I have a table and within that table I have a sub table with two columns. I am using css and allow visitors to move the first column from right to left (they both are different sizes). I now have a need the text in column one be wrapped under column two (as you can do with pictures in say MS word). I can't write the text ahead of time at the bottom of column two as that column floats from left to right -- meaning that the text that should go underneath would be different each time. I assume it is not possible with tables to do such a thing, but thought to ask the experts to see if it is possible or there is another logical way of accomplishing it. I could simply call two different files based on the right-float and left-float and right text accordingly in both files, but to me that does not sound such a great idea. I have a DIV element in a menu system that pops up when you hover over the parent menu. Everything in the menu works fine, however I need to embeed the navigation including the menu into a frame where the menu sits flush with the bottom of the frame it's in and when you mouse over the parent element the DIV that pops up is hidden by the frame below it. Like so: --- frame 1 ------ <content> <menu> --- frame 2 ------ <main content> ... ... ------------------ Is there anyway with CSS to tell the DIV to float above the bottom frame? I'm having a weird situation. I've got a nested divs in a big box. Anyway, I've got one div floating an image on the left and another div with text on the right. Anyway, there's not much text, but under the img div there's a gap in IE7 but not in FF and I was wondering why. For some reason the margin-bottom: 5px; in the <h3> tag causes there to be the gap under the floating div holding the img. I'm wondering why this is happening in IE7 but not in Firefox. I created an example code to show what I mean and placed comments around the h3 tag that seems to be the cause. I put all the css in the html using style tags. I have a screenshot but it doesn't look like I can attach it. Code: <!DOCTYPE html

<!-- This is the text Div that holds an H3 heading
Keep a 106px margin to prevent any later text from wrapping.
Neither Removing the margin nor the padding HERE solves the problem

<!-- HERE'S THE QUESTION! why does the "margin-bottom: 5px;"
leave a gap 5px gap underneath the image in IE7 but not firefox.
Who's wrong? IE7 for putting the gap in or firefox for not floating things correctly?
The H3 should be WELL away from the bottom of the div with most font
sizes...Also oddly enough, enclosing the parent div of the h3 in a border
removes the gap under the image BUT a border around the h3 itself does NOT
Why the gap? -->

The image below is how I want my website to look (div-wise, that is). It looks like this on all platforms and on all browsers except IE 5.0 and 6.0: IE 5.0 and 6.0 render the following: I have included my html + css code below. I have tried to make #sidenav float:left instead of float:right. This makes no difference for browsers but IE 5.0 and 6.0, which then again render the page wrong. Also decreasing the width of #sidenav (i.e. to 20px) doesn't help; the result is the same. Could somebody please help me fixing this There must be at least one css guru out there today All help is greatly appreciated! Code:

Hey, I've got a little issue with my new wordpress template. I can't set my right column to height: 100%. This is how the template looks like Code: <div id='maincontainer'> <div id='sidebar'> <div id='mainpage'> With following position css: Code:
#maincontainer {
position: relative;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
}
Now I need that sidebar column to go all the way down, i thought of setting height: 100% and setting it to maincontainer also as sidebar is relative to maincontainer. What works is setting a height in pixels but this is not what I want as it makes small pages very long. Has anybody experienced a similar problem or is able to shed some light on the issue. I've been looking at it for some while and it's beginning to annoy me greets, Hello. I spoke with some css developers yesterday on IRC but they failed to fix the problem. They suggested me to ask here for help so I will. I am currently making a new homepage and this is my page; mg-s.org/newly/ I had to edit most of the .css because the page was "floating". Like, some people couldn't see everything and if we zoomed in or out then the page got messed up.. So here is the current progress: mg-s.org/newly/ which is messed up. It's supposed to look like this: pokit.org/get/?00e5090c7ab5a0972f325bb16608f6fb.jpg But as you can see it's not. Here is the style.css : pastebin.com/BPrfZuBd Here is the index.php : pastebin.com/BDQKcxCE I am not that familiar with css so I need help. I've already editing on the size in the .css like on "top" to fix the #panel so it goes futher up but it's not working. Same with the #rightmenu I've got a really weird situation happening in IE7, and I can't figure out what I could possibly be doing wrong. I've got two divs on a page - one floating left, the other right. Each div contains two fieldsets, none of which are floated. This is the general setup: HTML Code: <div id="colRight">
<fieldset id="serviceArea">
...
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="defineArea">
...
</fieldset>
</div>
<div id="colLeft">
<fieldset id="profile">
...
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="profileBio">
...
</fieldset>
</div>
CSS Code: #colLeft {
float:left;
margin-right:15px;
}
#colRight {
float:right;
}
fieldset {
padding:0 1em 1em 1em;
margin-bottom:1em;
}
fieldset#defineArea,
fieldset#serviceArea {
float:none;
width:230px;
padding:0 10px 10px 10px;
}
Everything lines up perfectly in IE8, FF3.6 and Chrome, but in IE7 (actually, IE8 in Compatibility Mode) #serviceArea floats to the left of #defineArea (or vice-versa) in #colRight, and #colLeft gets pushed down below the now-too-wide #colRight. Since fieldsets are block-level elements, how can they be floating, especially when I explicitly set them to float:none? There's a stripped-down version of the page at http://www.weddingpastorsusa.org/design2/test_editform.html. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi.. I have a problem with ie rendering floaring dd's. What happens is the dd stay next to each other even if i had cleared it. It works fine in FF. Can anyone share some light? ... here is the code... Code:
<dl>
<dt>Email:</dt>
<dd><input type="text" /></dd>
<dt>State:</dt>
<dd>
<select>
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>
</dd>
<dt>Year of Birth:</dt>
<dd>
<select>
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
</select>

</dl>
and the css: Code:
dl{
}
dl dt{
clear:both;
width:80px;
text-align:right;
margin:10px 0;
}
dl dd{
margin:8px 0 0 5px;
}
dl dt,dl dd{
float:left;
}
thank you in advance Hi, I'm getting very frustrated trying to float in image to the right and vertically aligned in a TD cell. This is a actually a vBulletin Forum Home Page and I want to display an image in the forum description. With the inline CSS below I keep getting a new line which I don't want. I want the text "Forum description goes here" with the image vertically aligned on the right hand side of the TD cell. Code: <td class="alt1Active" align="left" id="f34"> <div> <a href="http://www.myurl.co.uk/forums/test_forum/"><strong>Test Forum</strong></a> </div> <div class="smallfont"> Forum description goes here. <!-- *** THIS IS THE BIT I HAVE CONTROL OVER *** --> <div align="right" valign="top" style="float:right;"> <a href="http://www.myurl.co.uk"> <img src="http://www.myurl.co.uk/picture.jpg" style="border:0px;"> </a> </div> <!-- ****** --> </div> </td> Hi im experiencing big problems with creating this layout. I spent whole day with positiooning this divs but i cant do this final layout. Everytime i want to float divs to left DIV 1 and DIV 2 are ok but DIV 3 jump to new line under DIV 2 and dont fit the gap between DIV 3 and div 1 . Can someone please help me ? Thanks ... link to image : xipic.eu/ufiles/njf25uy8_divs.png Hey All: This is my first post to this forum. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated! I am having an issue with some floating div's. I'm sure it's as easy as moving the div to a different parent but, I'm having trouble figuring this one out. My site is pretty simple. Most of the div's are floating left. I have one div that is floating right. I want the right div to stretch or contract to the full height of the content. Most of my content fits into a 740px height. There are a few that are more (up to 1500px). So, I want to put 1500px worth of images in the right column but only show as much as needed to fit the content area (most of the time only 740px). Right now, the full height of the right div is showing. I would post a link but, I'm new to the forum and it isn't allowed. If there is a way around this, I am happy to provide a link. Thanks in advance for any responses! Jeff |
