CSS - Center Container Won't Resize When Text Are Added
Hi there,
I'm making a weblog layout made in php all the articles are going to be stored on the center of the screen, the code I used for this is width:50%, but how do I make the css code so that the center page color will be all the way at the bottom no matter what size of a window is used? Thanks in advanced! Similar TutorialsHey guys I'm creating a website as a favor for my boss and I've been trying to do the speed crunch on it and already, one day in I hit a big road block... I can't seem to get the content container and background div to resize with content inside the "content" div. And also, I can't get the footer image for the content container (bottom of the color w/ rounded edges) to float to the bottom of the container. Here is the page in question: http://srh.com/taxgirl/ There are 3 style sheets used so far (as this is a complex website and I want some parts to show on all pages and others to only show on certain pages. Here are the CSS links: http://www.srh.com/taxgirl/srh2008.css http://www.srh.com/taxgirl/css/mainsrh.css http://www.srh.com/taxgirl/css/srh_index.css Code: #contentcontainer { position: absolute; z-index: 3; width: 740px; left: 11px; top: 505px; right: 11px; height: auto; margin-bottom: 70px; overflow: visible; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #FFFFFF; text-align: left; } Code: #contentbg { background-image: url(../images2/required/layout/contentbg.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center top; overflow: visible; position: relative; width: 760px; top: 55px; height: 900px; left: 1px; right: 0px; bottom: 65px; z-index: 2; margin-bottom: 63; } #contentcontainterfooter { height: 15px; width: 760px; position: relative; left: 1px; right: 0px; z-index:3; } Here is the HTML: Code: <div class="contentbg" id="contentbg"> <div class="contentcontainer" id="contentcontainer">CONTENTS THAT NEEDS The Content bg to be relative to.</div></div> <div class="contentcontainterfooter" id="contentcontainterfooter"><img src="images2/required/layout/content_bottom.png" width="760" height="15"></div> The text I threw in the DIV is just sample text so please disregard any unlisted or unused class tags, etc. This text will be removed after the issue is solved. If anyone could help I would be forever greatful Please take a look and let me know if you have any advice. Thanks you so--o much! ~beth. ps. This is a side concern, but if anyone knows how to make a png background compatable with IE, please do tell. This isn't too big of a concern for me because if I need to I can just use a gif, but if you know, the knowledge would be welcome and thanked for To all that read: Have a fantastic day and thank you for your time. Hi, I'm trying to center the main container here, as you can see it's aligning to the left: http://www.wordpressforrealestate.c...es/Design2/www/ If I remove the container width of 100% it centers, however, I need that 100% width so my footer background image can span across the whole footer. Any ideas? Thanks. I need to center the container in IE The page validates, and centers properly in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I have tried many solutions that I have found online, but they have not worked so I humbly ask for a solution. To view the site: http://www.reganburns.com/kalin/ The code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" > <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:#996;} #wrapper {text-align: center; margin: auto; width:1200px;} #container {position:relative;text-align:left;width:1200px;height:768px;background:url(images/bgindex.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <!--TEXT and other content--> </div> </div> </body> </html> I have the following code in my style sheet: body { background: url('../../docks/images/dock2_fade.jpg') no-repeat fixed center 35%; } which displays correctly. However, the pages using this style sheet are displayed in a frame and when I scroll the page any text blurs until it is unreadable. If I display the pages outside of the frame then it all works perfectly. Can any one shed any light as to why this is happening? Jeni Good Day, I agreed to do a website for a friend and they have purchased a template that I have been working with. I am very new to CSS so I don't even understand some o the terminology. The best way to describe my problem is to show you what is happening to the text when it is added. This is what the page looks like with limited text: http://lisawesselsphotography.ca/services.html It looks ok from here This is what it looks like when a greater amount of text is inserted: http://lisawesselsphotography.ca/services-test.html Not so cool looking Here is my css: Code: html, body { height: 100%;

} okay I don't know why my text will not wrap in any of my "float:rights" My quicklink section I don't care about as much as the feature student section I'm building. The text spills out of the paragrah block and keeps running. http://www.mgan.net/form-honors/main(2).htm Any thoughts on how to fix it or a link to a site that would explain it's just as good Hello, I Have an div of an sertain width. And there is some text like. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Which is wider then the div itself. Now the tekst overlaps the div borders. How can i fix this without getting a scrollbar. Thx in advance. When I resize the browser window on this page, the text "onclick" and the Cart and Search text stay in one place while the other text and background move. Why is this happening, I need everything to move together. This only seems to be happening IE, FF and Chrome seem fine. http://makethemoviehappen.com/darix.html I was having some trouble centering my layout in Firefox. It looked fine in IE6 (yes... it's a pain to work in, but it's the nature of the beast when doing internal intranet stuff) when I simply used "text-align: center;" but the layout wouldn't center until I added "text-align: -moz-center;" under that (in the body style). Is this an acceptable way of doing things? Is this a flaw in Firefox or is it more likely that I'm not doing things right? (yes I know I haven't posted code, this was more a high level question of when/if "text-align: -moz-center;" should be used). I have some text in a DIV that is updated dynamically with removeChild() and appendChild(). I've tried numerous combinations but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code div.chatlayer { position: absolute; top: -50px; left: 50px; border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius: 10px; padding: 5px; background-color: white; min-width: 100px; width: auto; text-align: center; visibility: hidden; } div.chatlayer { OK, I have <h1> and a class .footer_header_link. Both should center the text. But the class code isn't being centered. I thought this would be simple, but I must be overlooking something. Here's my css: Code: h1 { font-family:arial black; color:#666666; font-size:12pt; margin: 0; padding: 2px 0; text-align:center; } .footer_header_link{ text-align:center; font-family:arial black; color:#666666; font-size:12pt; margin: 0; padding: 2px 0; } You can see a sample testhere. Scroll down the 3 column bullet point list. You will see the headers with an underline aren't centered. They have a class of "footer_header_link" Any ideas? thanks 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> Sorry solved problem but can somebody post a definite solution to making a body { text-align:center } style work in both IE and firefox? I would like to delete this thread but I don't know how to, as another thread answered the question somewhat ambiguously. Thanks. Hi, I'm a begginer in css and html, I've started a webite but the text is not where I want it to be and the Image is where I want it but only because of the text ...

How do I align an actual text input box to the center of the screen using css? I am relatively new to using div tags - transitioning from table tag to organize pages. I want the checkboxes to be aligned to the left inside a container that is centered in the body. Currently it is all aligned to the left for some reason. The body tag has no text-align or any other css rule manually set. Code: <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid;width:400px; position: relative; clear:both;"> <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: left;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid; position: relative; clear:both;"> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="cartoon">cartoon<BR> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="comicstrips">comicstrips<BR> </div> </div> thanks. Firefox: all looks fine except the checkbox container does not appear to be inside the surrounding container - the outer container div appears as a line (it's border) at the top of the inside div with the checkboxes IE8: on a test page with nothing else - appears as Firefox. In my page with several other divs it appears with one container inside another fine, but the main container is not centered. I have looked at several tutorials about float etc but...wits end... thanks. 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! Hi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code: body { font-family: "Lucida Sans"; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; border-top: 0px none #000000; border-right: 0px none #000000; border-bottom: 5px none #000000; border-left: 0px none #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color: #D20000; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #4F4F82; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #4F4F82; scrollbar-face-color: #f4f4f0; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #d0d0d0; scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff; text-align: center; display: block; } .leftnav { float: left; color: #000000; font-size: 12px; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px none #000000; border-bottom: 1px none #000000; border-left: 1px none #000000; padding: 0px; white-space: nowrap; width: 220px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px; clear: both; text-align: left; } .content { background-color: #FFFFFF; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #000000; border-right-color: #000000; border-bottom-color: #000000; border-left-color: #000000; float: left; white-space: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 13px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; width: 1000px; margin-right: 0%; list-style-type: none; text-align: left; } Thanks very much. |
