CSS - How To Center Several Divs Within A Parent Div
Hi.
How would I go about horizontally centering a number of divs within another parent div which has a set width of 500px? There maybe 2,3 or 4 divs of varying length within the parent div but no matter the number I always want them centered within the parent div. |............................................................| |............................................................| |............................................................| | <---DIV---> | <---DIV---> | <---DIV---> | |............................................................| |............................................................| |............................................................| Similar TutorialsAlright guys. I'm working on a horizontally scrolling news ticker type deal. I have two divs on screen, and the rest are off screen using the overflow:hidden on the parent. The divs are set to 466px wide, float:left, and the parent is 932px wide. Since div 3 and up are all 466px, they drop down below the other two. Not a problem, since the overflow is set. However the jquery animation does not reset the reference point when it scrolls, so the divs stay in this arrangement. Is there any way to keep them all lined up next to eachother horizontally? I'm wondering if there is a CSS solution first, before I get creative with the jQuery. I could easily set it for the next two divs to display right, but there is no telling how many divs there will be and it would quickly become a nightmare trying to account for all possibilities. Here is the current CSS I'm using: Code: #test {background-color:#F1F2F2; width:932px; padding:10px; margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden; display:inline-block; height:400px;} #newswrapper {height:100px; position:relative; left:0px;} #newswrapper div {float:left; position:relative; background:#CCC; width:466px; height:400px;}
Hello. I need some help with positioning css. I want a div in the center of the page with a width of 780 px and a height of the entire page. On the left I want a background image aligning to the right and on the right side I want a background image aligning to the left. These two div's must be stretching to the whatever size your screen is. I just can't get it done. Right now I have this, but well, it's not really working properly. PHP Code: .left { width:30%; margin-bottom:0px; background-position:top right; float:left; height:100%; background: url("../img/left.jpg") top right repeat-y; } .right { width:30%; margin-right:0px; margin-bottom:0px; float:left; height:100%; background: url("../img/right.jpg"); } .centerpositie { width: 40%; //border:1px solid black; float:left; top:0px; background-color:#FFFFFF; width:780px; height:100%; } I am trying to get a row of mixed divs to align horizontally center on the page. I would also like to move the Google Checkout logo up a bit so it is vertically centered relative to the logos on that row. Can you help me do these things? TIA! I've tried doing a lot of things including profanity but no go. The screenshot below is how the page looks now with this css: Code: .row div { height:75px; float:left; } #AuthorizeNetSeal,#googleCheckoutLogo,#paypal { margin-top:25px; }
Code: <div class="row"> <!-- (c) 2005, 2011.

When I center the divs I get a small horizontal space between the divs. I have only tested this in firefox. My css for each div is: #foo{ margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; background: #006600; width: 800px; } and the page can be seen he bdgplans.com/concept/roll2.html http://cwin.redirectme.net/ext/ch/test.html ^ On IE, this works fine, the parent is red as expected, whereas on Mozilla, the parent has a white background. If i have no floats, it works as expected Hi all, I know there are certain tricks to vertically center texts or images in a div area. And I have read somewhere there are plans to avoid current complexity compared with tables. For example, provided I use same CSS... Code:
div,table{
width: 250px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
text-align: center;
}
...we optain well vertically centered text in this table... Code: <table> <tr><td>this IS vertically centered</td></tr> </table> ...but not in this div based one... Code: <div>this IS NOT vertically centered</div> I ask, do you know an easy way to acomplish the same we get with tables? Thanks! Just like the title says, the child is wider than the parent, and i want it automatically centered, so t hat the centers of both divs are inline with each other. I tried the Code: margin 0px auto; which works if the child is smaller, but it doesn't seem to work in this case, any other ideas? 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> Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Alright, I've been working on my own custom border box for a while and I've almost got it, but it has a few problems still. How I do it is I have one div that contains it all (.box) that defines the height and width of the whole box. Then I have three boxRows to lay out the images, and then I define how three cells in each of those rows should behave, very much like how custom borders used to be done with tables. Here are the problems: In both firefox and internet explorer, the bottom row and the far right column actually appear OUTSIDE the .box containing box. There are two additional problems in internet explorer. First, the middle row handles the auto height differently and only expands about 10px instead of the height of the containing box. The second is that the whole middle row for some reason appears to be pushed to the right by about 16px. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code: HTML: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testBox.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <div class="boxRowTop"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowMiddle"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowBottom"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> </body> </html> And here is the layout css file: Code: /* Box classes */
.box {
background: rgb(120,120,120);
height: 200px;
width: 500px;
}
.boxRowTop {
height: 16px;
position: relative;
width:%100;
}
.boxRowMiddle {
height: auto;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxRowBottom {
height: 16px;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxCellLeft {
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
.boxCellMiddle {
height: 100%;
margin-left: 16px;
margin-right: 16px;
width: auto;
}
.boxCellRight {
height: 100%;
left: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
/* Define Cell Backgrounds/Images */
.boxRowTop .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/topleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/top_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/topright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/left_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellMiddle {
background: rgb(255,255,255);
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/right_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottom_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
And last, the reset CSS, which I don't think has anything to do with the problems because if I take it out it still has them. Code: html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I've been working on this for a while! Thanks! http://weightlossforever.ca/ Works fine in everything but ie7 the leaves appear in front of their parent, they should be behind it. Thoughts? Please look at this page http://osake.garychus.com/menu2.asp I am trying to wrap a div (red border) around each category on this restaurant menu. For some reason the code looks right but the red border does not enclose the entire category section(s). I validated the html but think the issue is css related. Any help is appreciated. Please look at this page - http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/ask.asp?faq=9 See how the <p> exceeds the containing box at the bottom? I put a border-bottom on the containing div to show you where the issue occurs. It does not happen in IE7 I just noticed it does it also on this page http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/staff.asp |
