CSS - How To Get A Vertically Aligned Text In Css Button

hi, i'm wondering whether anyone here knows something that i don't about this...

here's some code:

Code:

<div style="position:absolute; left:30px; top:90px; width:380px; height:80px; border: 3px double #000000; padding:10px; padding-top:5px; line-height:150%">
<table width="380" height="80" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td valign="middle">
<div align="center" style="width:380px;">
<span style="font-size:11px; text-align:left;">
aligned to the left.<BR>
but is it centered?<BR>
i think not.<BR>
</span>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

i'm able to achieve vertically centered text in the table cell, and i can center it or align it to the left, but so far in my experimenting i haven't found a way to have text that is aligned to the left, centered in the div.

i could always just add a bunch of padding-left on the div so that the text is pushed over and looks nicer although it is not centered, but i'm wondering whether there's a way to do it the way i originally planned to..

thanks very much for looking at this.

Not sure if this should go in HTML forum or here, but there is CSS involved, so...

Anyways, have a page here with 3 images aligned right. (Currently they are floated right, but problem originally was seen with aligned right, changed to css float and problem is the same).

I only see the issue in Chrome, but in Chrome if I refresh the browser, about every third or forth time the text will not wrap around one of the bottom 2 images in the main content area (Hancock & Theron). The text will just lay over the top of the image. If I refresh it will work again, but randomly will not render correctly over one of the two images that is aligned right.

Is this just a weird Chrome rendering issue? Or is there some property I can add to the image that will force this to not happen?

Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to resize links on hover but doing so they change their vertical alignment during hover. Is there a way to prevent this ? Basically I just want the text to be bottom aligned and stay that way on hover. "text-align: top" works, but thats not what I want.

simple example:

CSS:
Code:

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
    font-size: 1em;
}
a:hover {
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

HTML:
Code:

<div>
    <a href="#">Text</a>
</div>

Hi,

I wonder if you can help me,

In FF, this site has it's rows messed up.

If you scroll down towards the bottom the colours become out-of-sync with the text.

Can anyone help? (It works fine in IE and Opera)

Thanks

I have a navigation bar that contains four images (side by side) as well as three text links. They all live within a <div> with the following properties:

#gNav {
width:768px;
height:19px;
text-align:left;
vertical-align:middle;
}


i need for the three text links to line up directly in the middle (vertically) of that <div>.

To achieve this in IE6 and NN+, I attach the following style to the text.

.nookum {
font-size:.9em;
vertical-align: 25%;
color:#FFFFFF;
}





I just learned that the vertical-align property is not recognized by IE5 and IE5.5, so in those versions, the text aligns at the bottom of the <div>.

Anyone know of any workarounds or other methods of vertically aligning text that will work in these two versions of IE?

EDIT: no longer required




All the text is at the top of the menus, how do i get them so they are in the center of the divs ?

Code:

#navbar2 { float:right; position:relative; }
ul.menu2 { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; }
#navbar2 .leaf2 { width:70px; height:35px; float: left; display: inline; list-style-type:none; display:inline; text-align:center; color:#F7941D; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; background-color:#2E2E2E; margin-left:8px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; opacity:0.85; filter:alpha(opacity=85); }
#navbar2 li:hover, #navbar2 li.active { opacity:1; filter:none; }
#navbar2 li a { width:70px; height:35px; display:block; padding-top:3px; }
.leaf2 a { width:70px; }

Code:

  <div id="navbar2">
    <ul class="menu2">
      <li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="home") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="." title="Home">home</a></li>
      <li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item2") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="2.php" title="2">item<br>2</a></li>
      <li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item3") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="3.php" title="3">item<br>3</a></li>
      <li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item4") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="4.php" title="4">item4</a></li>
      <li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item5") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="5.php" title="5">item5</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>		

Using CSS, is it possible to vertically align centrally text to an image as you can using tables?

A simple example using a table would be

<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><img border="0" src="image.gif" width="609"height="115"></td>
<td valign="middle">Ray did this</td>
</tr>
</table>

Using CSS so far I've got...

<p><img class="imglft" border="0" src="img.jpg" width="434" height="400" alt="my image">Ray did this>

The CSS for imglft is...

.imglft{
float: left;
margin-right: 30px;

}

I've tried putting the whole lot in a DIV and using text-align: middle and vertical-align: middle but that doesn't work.

You can see what I mean by comparing http://brisray.com/grad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/grad.htm with http://brisray.com/ray/rgrad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/ray/rgrad.htm

I am designing this page:

theticketsguide.com/sample

Scroll down to where the text reads, "Easy Navigation." I have (more or less) managed to vertically align this text with the image next to it, but I used padding instead of a cleaner, more exact "vertical-align" function. I've tried to put

vertical-align:middle

for the text, but it doesn't do anything. Any help as to what the right solution is to this? I don't want to use padding.

Thanks,

Greetings,

I've set an anchor tag to display:block and have set the height to 80px. Unfortunately, it seems I am unable to move the text associated within the hyperlink to the middle (vertically) of the block. Any ideas on how this can be done?

I know vertical-align works great on one line of text, but I can't get this script to vertically (and horizontally) center two lines of text. What do I need to do change without changing the size of the div?

Code:

echo '<div style="float:left;width:171px;height:96px;text-align:center;display:table-cell;vertical-align:text-middle;background-color:yellow;">';
echo '<h1 >1/35 Scale House</h1>';
echo '</div>';

ok.

Ive been trying to use CSS to style my page instead of tables. but I cant get stuff to line up right.

basically I have a div spanning the whole width of a css box. inside that div I have 3 sections, one for left-aligned text, one for center aligned text and one for right aligned text.

what I want is to display on the far left a left arrow image (for use as a button) and the word 'Previous'. then in the middle of the div, center aligned, I want to display the words 'select a different draw' and on the right hand side, right aligned I want the word 'Next' followed by my right arrow. EASY PEASY I thought.

Well it has taken me an hour to realise that I have to set my parent element to position: relative for the left middle and right elements to use absolute without going to the very top of the page. so at least I now have them along in a line.

What I have found is that the the text on the left and right is vertically aligned to the BOTTOM edge of the image and the text in the middle has been vertically aligned to the TOP of the image despite all 4 css classes being defined as vertical-align: middle;

please tell me where I am going wrong, I'm loosing my marbles here!

--html:

Code:

	<div id="width-100">
		<div id="third-left">
			<img src="images/arrowleft.png" alt="foo"/>
			Previous
		</div>
		<div id="third-middle">
			Select a different draw
		</div>
		<div id="third-right">
			Next
			<img src="images/arrowright.png" alt="foo"/>
		</div>
	</div>

--css:
Code:

#third-left {
	width: 30%;
	text-align: left;
	vertical-align: middle;
	}
	
#third-middle {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0px;
	margin: 0 35% 0 35%;
	width: 30%;
	vertical-align: middle;
	text-align: center;
	}

#third-right {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0px;
	right: 0px;
	width: 30%;
	text-align: right;
	vertical-align: middle;
	}

#width-100 {
	width: 100%;
	position: relative;
	vertical-align: middle;
	background: white;
	}

any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi there,

I have two font sizes: 22px and 12px. However, If I use the 2 sizes next to each other, the large pushes the smaller on down. I tried to use vertical-align: middle to center them vertically, but it didn't work.

How can I center them vertically?

Thanks!

I need the text "world leaders in spirometry" to be on the same base line as the text in the logo image for Vitalograph to the left of it.

This is what I want it to look like image link

This is what does look like web page link

Here is the CSS css link

How can I get abosolute vertical placement of the text best for firefox and IE?

I know I could put the tage into the logo as one image, but for SEO I would like to have the text there if possible.

Thanks!
