CSS - Vertical Aligning Issue In Ie
I'm attempting to vertically align my content to the size of the browser window, something that I've concluded can be done a million ways after days of Googling and reading.
My outcome seems to work fine in all browsers (FF, Safari, Opera, Chrome, Navigator are the ones I've tested) except Internet Explorer. It renders perfect in IE 8, but there is a huge margin bumping the content down in all other versions of IE. The complete execution can be seen he http://www dot kristenshemanski dot com/testing/index dot html Any thoughts/input is welcome. I've completely hit a wall with this one. Also, I am indeed still using nested tables. I still have not completely mastered div tables, so I've decided to stick with the familiar until I learn a bit more. This project has really opened my eyes to how out-dated my coding is. Here is my CSS for the vertical positoning: Code: /* Divs */ #outer { position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; border:0; overflow: visible; vertical-align: middle; } #inner { position: relative; top: 50%; height: 645px; width: 100%; margin: 0px auto; } Similar Tutorialsive searched google throughout and im blank on how to do this Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Untitled</title> <style type="text/css"> * { margin:0; padding:0; } div { width:70%; margin:0 auto; height:20em; border:.4em solid black; } p { border:.4em solid black; margin:0 auto; line-height:8em; display:inline; width:55%; height:8em; } span { display:block; color:red; font-size:2em; width:60%; margin:0 auto; text-align:center; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <p> <span>X</span> </p> </div> </body> </html> I need the outer box to be vertiacllly aligned within the viewport, the other boxes vertically aligned within each other. does that make sense? I thought u could do it with line-height but i can't get it working. fresh eyes? Edit: New code there. How do you go about vertically aligning text in a <div> tag that is 200px in height? Here is my development site: http://www.pursuedbybear.com/sunwashed/ Is there any way to vertically center the links in the left hand nav inside their orange boxes without resorting to a table? I've tried vertical-align: middle and padding-top the #nav ul li a element, but neither works. I've done some searching here and the results haven't been encouraging - anyone have something different I could try? I mean really, this isn't exactly a super-complicated or obscure thing I'm trying to do, you'd think CSS could handle it. Any advice? I am having problems with vertical aligning both texts and images. Can someone show me a working example or tell me where I messed up the codes below? http://efetuncel.win.aplus.net/ryt/new/ Code: #rcontent{ float:right; width:490px; padding:0px; } #rcontent .category{ float:left; width:240px; height:120px; margin:30px 0px 0px 5px; background: url(images/bg_home_category.gif) } #rcontent .category img{ float:left; vertical-align:middle; } <div id="rcontent"> <div class="category"> <img src="images/home_categories_gb.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div class="category"> </div> <div class="category"> </div> <div class="category"> </div> </div> Normally when I want to vertically align some text to the middle of a div I use line-height: 40px; and vertical-align: middle; However that only seems to work on single lines of text because with multiple lines of text the line height of each line means there is a large gap between the text rather than centreing the whole lot vertically. How do I get around this? I thought something like the following would work but it doesn't. <div style="line-height: 60px; vertical-align: middle;"> <span style="line-height: normal;">line1<br />line 2</span></div> I'm trying to reduce the amount of real estate that a form and button are taking up in my table. They are expanding the whole row and lining them up with the other contents isn't working in the CSS methods I've tried. Finally I tried reduce the font-size of the cell containing the form and button (all the way down to 1px) which gives the desired result... but I'm a bit concerned about implementing it into all the tables in the site because it seems a bit 'hacky'. Is there a better way to do this? My Webpage You'll see in the first table, final column containing the button, that the button and form and pushed up against the top of the cell and the other cells now have more padding. In the second table, my "font-size:1px" has been applied and gives the desired result. Just curious if there is a better way to do this or if this is will be fine. I am new to CSS style sheets and coding. Best way to explain problem is to say: go to: sfsmokefree.org/test View in Firefox = no issues, looks good View in I.E. = left column is all pushed downwards what's up with that? http://www.gaminghybrid.com/cms_design/ I would like to get the top tab table (#top-tabs) and the sub tabs (#sub-tabs) centered, instead of the semi-left alignment they are in. What is the best way to go about it? (I've tried <center> and text-align:center) Also, as you can see in FireFox, the bottom bite doesn't go to the bottom of the other two content bits, but it does in IE. Any help is appreciate Hi all, I'm pretty new to CSS and html, and I've run into a problem with a navbar I've created for a website. I want the navbar to extend the length of the content on each page, but I can't seem to set it for that. All I've been able to do so far is get it to fit the content of the navbar itself (too small), or set the height for a higher number of pixels than I need on most of the pages. This lets me accommodate the content on my lengthiest page, but it leaves the others with a lot of white space on the screen. Could someone please take a look at the code and help me? Bolded line is the problem, but setting it to a percentage doesn't work, either. Thank you for answering what's probably painfully obvious!: #navigation { background: #CCCCCC; float: left; width: 18%; height: 750px; border-right: #990033 2px solid; border-left: #990033 2px solid; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; background-image: url (navbar.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; } #navigation ul{ list-style: none; background-color: #CCCCCC; padding: 5px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; } #navigation li a { display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; Hi, I am having trouble with divs inside tables cells. I have td's in a row, and I want all the objects within these cells to be aligned at the top of the cells. However, the objects within the cells with lesser content are vertically aligning to the central level of the cell with the most content. Please check: www dot incorrectlyprogrammed dot org/CRC/ to see what I mean. This is driving me mad. Any help appreciated!! reflectionstour.com ^ Site I am working on. So I have these nice little gifs that are curving the corners. In FF3 they work fine and it is XHTML/CSS 2.1 valid. Which of course means that they are not working right in IE 7 (haven't bothered testing 8, as I run Linux and it is hard enough to locate an IE7 to test it on.) So I have tried a few different searches and don't really know what to even call it. And no webdev tool bar on IE to help tell me. "vertical-align: bottom IE7 ~padding" "bottom padding issues IE7" I would rather not do separate CSS sheets as it is a simple site, there shouldn't be an issue here. Thanks! Wil Hi, Does anyone know how to veritcally align text using CSS? like <tr valign='middle'> when using tables. My page is on: http://www.3003online.com/demos/ecoceylon/v2/ You can see a difference in the "Home - About Us - Products - Contact Us" links when viewing from IE and Mozilla Firefox. Basically, I would like the text to be centered vertically in the bar... but CSS by default puts it on top. I tried adding padding,which helped in IE... but Firefox still shows the links a bit higher than they should be.,... any ideas how to fix this? Also, a different problem in case anyone knows how to fix it... you can see a small brown bar on the top bar. It is 50px in height. But I have no idea how to make its width as wide as the remainder of the page (this would change with different resolutions). The main content of the page is 760px wide. I would like a brown box next to that, which is 50px in height and the remainder width. Any ideas? "width: auto;" doesn't work unfortunately [ this is a follow up to my previous thread http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?t=270438 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
