CSS - Centered Vertical Alignment Within A Div
Hi, there.
Having looked around the forum for a CSS method of vertically centering an IMG within a DIV, I found the following code which works perfectly in IE but not FF : #full-image { float: right; width: 380px; height: 380px; text-align: center; line-height: 0px; background-color: #F0F5F7; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; } #full-image img { margin-top: expression(( 380 - this.height ) / 2); } That's right - works in IE but not FF, which is most unusual! Any ideas how to make this work cross-browser? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Similar TutorialsHello I hope this isnt a stupid questions but here goes. I have a page designed with vertically centered content It works fine but if you view the page in a smaller screen size some of the content disapears in to the menu area of the browser. Its hard to explain but if you use the sorce code below and view it in any broswer. Make it so the browser is not maximized and then change the height of the window until the scroll bar appears ... you will notice that some of the conent goes into neverland before the srollbar appears. Line 1 disapears and can not be reads. This will be an issue for people viewing my site in 800x600 Thoughts?

So the bottoms of all the text will be at 385px. The text is dynamic, so I have no way of knowing how tall the blocks will be. The first column will be one or more paragraphs of text and the second will be a bulleted list. Any help is greatly appreciated! :grimey Hi, I have navigation links at the top of a blog in a header file, and cannot get them to align vertically for both firefox and IE. I've tried everything I can think of (using extra <br>, <p>, vertical-align: middle, changing margins, changing padding, etc) but cannot find a solution that aligns them vertically in both browsers. Any help is appreciated. Here is the code, which works in firefox: Code: <body> <!-- page header --> <div id="header" "border: 0px solid; margin:0 auto; "> <a href="http://www.website.com/blog/"><IMG SRC="http://www.website.com/images/logo.png" BORDER=0 width="435" height="92" ALT="logo" align="left"></a> </div> <div style="clear: both; margin:0 auto; "></div> <div style="background-image: url(http://www.website.com/images/sidebar_center2.jpg); border: #333333 2px solid; width: 900px; height: 60px; padding: 6px; margin: 0px auto; font-size: 17px; text-align: center; "> <p><font face="calibri,verdana" color="#ffffff"> <a href="http://www.website.com/"><font color="#ffffff">Home</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-1.html"><font color="#ffffff">ilnk 1</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-2.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 2</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-3.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 3</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-4.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 4</font></a> | </font></p> </div> <!-- begin wrapper divs --> <div id="content"> I have what I think is an easy question for you guys. I have an absolute positioned element and I gave it a height of 100px. I want to know how to make it so that any text that I enter goes to the bottom of this element. By default, the text appears at the top left. I tried vertical-align with all of its values, but none of them worked. The only way I could get it to appear the way I wanted was to use line-height. Using line-height I am able to get the text where I want it, but it doesn't seem like this is the way it should be done. Is there a way in which you don't have to specify a specific line-height value to get the where you want and it make it so all text appears at the bottom instead of the top? Here is what it looks like, and the CSS is below. Thanks. Code: <html><head><title>test</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: white; } #top { position: absolute; left: 20%; right: 20%; top: 2.5%; height: 100px; color: white; background-color: rgb(20%,20%,20%); border: 2px solid red; line-height: 180px; } </style> <body> <div id="top"> this is a test </div> </body> </html> Hi guys, I'm still a beginner at CSS and I have run into a problem... In my footer, I want all the text to be aligned vertically and horizontally in the middle. eg. ------------------div-------------------- ............. text text text text text ------------------div-------------------- Can you please show me what text I would need to put in the #footer? My footer is 900px wide and 120px high. I am adding more than one line of text. If there's any more info u need from me to solve this problem then please ask. Any help will be great. Thank you very much Hello all. Suppose I have the following: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> /* footer styles */ #footer { clear: both; } #footer ul { width: 544px; list-style-type: none; display: block; } /* end #footer ul */ #footer ul li { float: left; background-color: #003366; } /* end #footer ul li */ </style> </head> <body> <div id="footer"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 5</a></li> <li><img src="images/foot_nav2.gif" alt="" id="footer_image" /></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Now suppose that the image is 50px high. What I would like is to get the links to align at the bottom of the instead instead of at the top. I tried a vertical-align: bottom but that didn't seem to help the situation any. 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!! I'm creating a tabbed menu system to navigate my site, which is in a three column layout wrapped in the centre fluid wrapper. Due to the way I'm doing the menu I need to vertically align the menu to the bottom of the DIV it is in. The menu is an unordered list with the styling stripped out and replaced so that the items are arranged horizontally. Yet no matter what I do they either align to the top or the centre, worse while searching for an answer I only seem to be able to find people who want centring.

(Not sure how much of that is needed to answer the question.) (Oh and many of the design elements colors etc are still in that due to testing stuff not because I actually need them.) Which is how do I get that dang thing aligned to the bottom/side of that box? ok the page is http://v2.seductionslingerie.biz/ and the top buttons (home, etc...) will not change their bg color on hover and the text inside the div will not valign to the bottom. please help! here is the html/css code below CSS: Code: div.top_buttons { background-image:url(../images/top_button_bg.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom right; background-color:#660000; border:1px #660000 solid; height:50px; vertical-align:bottom; padding:2px; color:#FF99FF; font-family:"BankGothic Lt BT", Verdana, Arial; font-family:14px; font-weight:bold; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer; } div.top_buttons:hover { background-color:#950000; color:#F5F1F2; } HTML: Code: <div class="top_buttons">HOME</div> Any and all help is much appreviated! So I have a calendar that I created in PHP and I'm displaying it in a table and I'm having trouble aligning the title and the two image arrows that go on either side of it. I'm trying to align everything vertically in the middle of the row and it seems that in Firefox, the Title is lower than the two arrows, but in Chrome and IE it seems to be right in the middle where it should. How do I solve this? Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td class="cal_left_arrow"> <img src="/images/left_arrow2.jpg" width="9px" height="13px" onClick="displayCalendar(<?php echo $prevYear; ?>, <?php echo $prevMonth; ?>);" /> </td> <td class="cal_title" colspan="5" valign="middle"> <?php echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)).' '.$year; ?> </td> <td class="cal_right_arrow"> <img src="/images/right_arrow2.jpg" width="9px" height="13px" onClick="displayCalendar(<?php echo $nextYear; ?>, <?php echo $nextMonth; ?>);" /> </td> </tr> Code: #event_calendar { margin-top:50px; margin-bottom:20px; float:left; height:auto; width:245px; } .calHeaderDays { font: bold 10px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #3F4C6B; text-align:center; height: 20px; width:245px; color: white; overflow:visible; /*border: 1px solid #3F4C6B;*/ } .cal_title { text-align: center; font: bold 16px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #C79810; height:40px; vertical-align:middle; } .cal_left_arrow { text-align:right; height:40px; vertical-align:middle; } .cal_right_arrow { text-align:left; height:40px; vertical-align:middle; } table { width: 245px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; } table img { cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; } .calToday { height: 28px; vertical-align: middle; background-color: #3F4C6B; color: #fff; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-size: 10px; } .slDay { height: 28px; font-size: 10px; width: 14%; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: middle; text-align:center; } I am already used to tableless design but I have not yet solved the way to vertically center texts the way a cell of a table does by default. How do you solve this problem?. Obviously I look for a simple CSS style to manage this need. Thanks! 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. I have a site that I am working on: test dot choupique dot com The #subpage class is centered in internet explorer 9, but not firefox 5. I can't figure out why for the life of me. Can anyone see why? Thanks http://www.lightblu.com/ (It speaks for itself) how come on my test page, http://www.lightblu.com/test.php works fine (ie. the menu is centered correctly), but not on the homepage? What did I do wrong? Hi there, sorry to bother y'all, but I've been fighting with this css for hours now and I can't seem to get it quite right. I'm trying to center a search box and button skinned with an image, which I think should be fairly simple, but I'm not very good with css yet and it's being more evil than usual. I will try my best to provide all the pertinent information, and thank you very much in advance for any assistance you might provide. My top bar is as such, at the moment (the current issue being that I can't get the text to not be on the edges with the image border while keeping the text field and the button flush against each other), although I've tried a number of other solutions, this is the closest as of yet that I have gotten. Code: <div class="header"> <div class="leftAlign"><a href="/Controller?pageRequest=home"><img src="/img/spinner.png"></img></a></div> <div class="rightAlign" id="topRight"> <jsp:include page="AccountLinks.jsp"></jsp:include> </div><br /> <form id="searchForm" action="/SearchServlet"> <input type="text" id="searchText"></input><input type="image" src="/img/searchButton.gif" alt="Search" id="searchButton"></input> </form> </div> and the relevant css is Code: div.header{ width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; min-height: 60px; display: block; text-align:center; } div.leftAlign{ float: left; text-align: left; } div.rightAlign{ float: right; text-align: right; } #searchForm{ vertical-align: top; margin: 0; line-height: 1; outline:0; } #searchText{ background:url(/img/searchText.gif) no-repeat top center; padding:0px; margin:0; display:inline; border:0; width:159px; height: 31px; } #searchButton { background:url(/img/searchButton.gif) no-repeat top center; padding-top:0px; margin:0; display:inline; border:0; width:42px; vertical-align: top; line-height: 1; height:31px; } Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. How can i accomplish this with CSS? See image he hxxp://g.imagehost.org/0398/css.png (replace x with t) Hey guys, I know that this is a well covered topic. but I am trying to get a container div to sit centered and 100% of the page. my css reads: * { margin:0; padding: 0; } html, body { height: 100%; } #container { position: relative; width: 900px; height: 100%; margin: 0 auto; background: url("imgs/backgroundmain.gif"); } It works fine for the required browsers until the contents of the page goes beyond the size of the screen then the background stops. it literally stops at 100% of window rather than 100% of content. Any ideas??? James MacLeod Ok, I give up... can't figure this one out... the navbar seems to be centered in IE but not in Firefox. www.moksha.net/index.html I notice that it doesn't seem to matter whether I am inside the header div or not. The navbar is a UL. I don't care how wide it is really... I would love to strip all this down to its most essential. Thanks! #header { padding: 1em; margin: 0px; text-align:center; width:100%; align: center; display:block; } #navbar { color:#FFCC33; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; margin:0 auto; } #navbar ul { clear:left; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; list-style-type: none; text-indent: 0; width: 600px; background-color:#996633;} #navbar li { /* float:left; width:80px; */ padding-right: 1em; height: 3em; line-height:3em; font-size: 20px; display: inline; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; margin:0; } #navbar a { color:#FF9933; text-decoration: none; } #navbar a:hover { color:#FFCC33; } As a CSS beginner I want to change my few table based web sites to CSS based. Currently I may have a table with a border exactly fitting a graphic image... looks nice. Now I want that same image to fit perfectly in a CSS box in order to take advantage of all the extra features of color and border that comes with CSS. The problem is... nothing that I do will exactly fit the rectangular image in the CSS box. I have fooled with the dimensions of the box and image but somehow there is ALWAYS about a 4px edge of background at the bottom edge of the image. The left,top,right borders are exactly bordering the image as should be. Is this possible in CSS, I would like to follow the CSS way. #bottom_center { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: #ccc; width: 470px; height: 90px; border-style: ridge; } ---- then in the body ---- <div align="center"> <div id="bottom_center"> <img border="1" src="able_appraisal_web_logo.jpg" alt="Able Appraisal, Inc." width="470" height="90"> </div> </div> |
