CSS - How To Make Left Margin "optional"
I have seen sites that have their content centred, but when you make the browser window smaller, their left margin gets lost. When the right hand edge of the browser window touches the right edge of the content I would like the left margin to reduce proportionally until it's all gone.
I know auto margins will do something like this, but when I tried that my content continually moved as the window is resized. I only want the left margin to reduce when the window is too small for the content. I have looked at the sites that work like this but generally they are very complicated and as a beginner I cannot isolate which bit allows this to happen. I have a small test page below. What would I need to add/change to make my left margin get lost when the window gets smaller. I have a link to the same code so you can see how it looks in the browser. http://www.cv2.co.uk/margins.html I have kept the CSS in the main file just to keep it simple. Thanks Code: <html>
<head>
<style>
#main {
background:red;
width:500px;
margin-left:200px;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="main">This is content</div>
</body>
</head>
</html>
Similar TutorialsI'm wondering what's the alternative to the "MARGIN: 0px auto;" where I need the -1px for the margin-left and margin-right as oppose to auto for margin-left and margin-right?? Code: MARGIN: 0px auto; Thanks, FletchSOD I'm taking over a departmental web page that has a whole bunch of Code: <body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> in the web pages. Does anyone know how to put this in a stylesheet so that I don't have to put this code in every <body> tag when I create a new page? I've searched all over and can't find a reasonable resolution. Thanks http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.). The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly. I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too. The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this. Thanks. ok at Rodoslovlje I have an issue. The menu on the left is most of the times longer then the right content part. Is there a way to fix that when this occurs I can make the right part move along without editing every page and hitting enter 20 times? Thnx Hi all, My first post here as I am struggling a bit with some CSS and i'm not sure where I am going wrong. My brother built a site based on a template, but he needed some help with maintenance and both the html and css code was complete crap. So I have started rebuilding the site from scratch to make it easier to maintain, and am copying a few bits and peices across from the old site to speed up the process. One such peice was the nav menu. As it stands the menu displays properly and the rollovers work etc, however it has some sort of mystery padding to the left hand side that I can't shift. Please can you take a look at the files and let me know where i'm going wrong? www [dot] dubtrippin [dot] com/test.html Cheers, Paul. what is the equivilant to <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> in css? i've tried PHP Code: table { border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; border-colapse: colapse; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } td { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; padding: 2px; } That makes the width 2px wide though. I want it to only be one. And the padding seems to be messed up as well. My issue is the area around the image. It's the background color so i'm pretty sure it's not a border, I tried messing around with margins. Bottom line, I want my image (header panel) to be flush with the top and sides of the browser! Here's my code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #282627; font-family: sans-serif; } img.hdr { height: 53px; width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <img src="HeaderImage.gif" class=hdr> </body> </html> Just starting out so I appreciate it!

It's the effect where you click on a link or a button and a new bit of content appears, pushing down everything below it. Clicking it again makes that content disappear and all the original text move back up. Google uses it in a number of places, notably at the bottom of any search result. At the very bottom, below the "Goooogle" page number thing, there's a little plus sign to the left of "Add a result". Clicking that makes new content appear. I see it in a lot of places and I love the effect! I don't know if its Ajax or CSS or whatever, so I don't know how to properly search for a tutorial, but could anyone point me in the right direction? Hi! Is is vicious to display a table as "display: block" to force margin-collapsing? Otherwise there's no margin collapsing with other elements. Thanks Hello, I followed this example that "should" working (not to me): http://lau.csi.it/realizzare/accessibilita/fogli_di_stile/position/completo.htm ]float[/URL] and I wrote my css: Code:

clear: left;

If I put the margin of the link, it doens't show the content of "left" and "right" part; if I use the margins as I wrote here above, it doens't show the content of "right". What I want is: a footer with a sign on the left (with the text left aligned), a sign in the middle, and one on the right (with the text right aligned). I thin that the problem are not just the margins. Can anybody help, please? I'm using the CakePHP framework to build my site.

I haven't used CSS/html in awhile but if anyone can help me either "fix" the content box so it appears like mockup which would be centered on my screen as my resolution is 2560X1600(30") and just repeat the <div's> when needed. Hope someone can help me with my question. http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm some problems: in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok! in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image! the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen! Hi! What do you think of this Javascript "make IE 6 work exactly like IE7"? http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ Thank you (I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen). I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen. Example Picture The site itself. Any ideas? Hi, I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser. Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important. I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML Here is my Html PHP Code: <DIV id="nav"> <ul> <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li> <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li> <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li> <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li> </ul> </div> Pretty straight forward, now my css PHP Code: #nav { width:1005px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #nav li { float: left; text-align: left; } #1 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #1 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #5 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; } #5 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; } Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/ Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help. Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work. Cheers, Stuart Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ? Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html). Thank you that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently. However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image. If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall. (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work? I understand that the "compact" attribute is deprecated, so is there a way to squish the horizontil lines in an ordered list - effectively change the line spacing within the list - a style of somesort? Code: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;"> <li><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">item 1;</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;">item 2;</span></li> </ol> thanks |
