CSS - Vertical Aligning
ive 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. Similar TutorialsI'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; } 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. 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. Hi I have an issue aligning some links. i have it perfect in FF but it is not the same in IE. http://www.sun-awnings-direct.co.uk/the-carino-p-29.html It is the white breadcruumb trail in question. Can anyone advise what IE is doing differently and how I can solve it? Thanks a lot After browsing through w3schools and learning most of what css has to offer I for some reason can't figure out a way to align items using css. I was just wondering if someone could help me with the correct tag. www.devwebsites.com/index.php is my site. in order to view this problem you must register at www.devwebsites.com/register.php Once you do go back to the home page and you will see the ul out of the login box. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tell me what I should do to fix it please.

Do I have to put my <ul> in a <div> and keep my <img> out of the <ul>? I know I'm probably still thinking in terms of tables... I have a <div> container with several more <divs> stacked up inside it. They have varying widths. I would like some (maybe not all) to be centered within the primary <div>. Now, I know I can do this: <div align="center">, but align isn't a property in a style sheet, is it? I'm trying to align an image, header, and some text that is right aligned all on the same row. I've been reading so much about inline and block elements that my head feels like it's going to explode. It would look like this: Code: Picture - Header Text over here I'm not sure if everything should be span inside one class or what. I'm very confused. Please help a noob. So what I want is to have 2 forms with buttons aligned horizontally. <form><input type="submit"></form> <form><input type="submit"></form> They should be like this: [Button 1] [Button 2] But instead, they go like this: [Button 1] [Button 2] And I don't know the CSS for it, so thanks in advance. I am not sure if this is a problem that can be solved with css or not. I have recently switched from straight html to php and have no experience in css. Basically I split my pages into 5 separate areas. Header, footer, right column, left column and center column. The problem that I am running into is that the header and footer are in the right spot on the page but the left, right and center columns are way off. Here is a link to my site OWPT I have my problem, with an example, explained in more detail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ok... im making a site with CSS... this is my css code - Quote: a:link {color:white} a:visited {color:white} a:hover {color:black} a:active {color:white} body {background-color: #666666} #head{ position: relative; top: 7px; left: 140px; width: 707px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; color:white; background-color: #666666; background-image: url(wavy.jpg); } #content { position: relative; top: 7px; left: 140px; width: 697px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; color:white; background-color: #666666; background-image: url(image/back.jpg); padding: 5px; } #foot{ position: relative; left: 140px; width: 707px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9px; text-align: center; color:white; background-color: 666666; background-image: url(wavy.jpg); } and this is my code for my PHP page, which reads the css - Quote: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="fula.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="head"><img src="image/head.jpg"></div> <div id="content"> content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content content </div> <br> <div id="foot">Graphics & Design by "NO NAMED DESIGNS" - Copyright 2006 "KLSOON2BE"</div> </body> </html> ok... now, if you look at it in firefox... everything aligns just fine but if you look at it in I.E its out of place... any help would b greatly appreciated! to view the page this problems on - http://www.outlawz.frihost.net/fula/test2.php I'm having trouble aligning headings in CSS. I've tried creating a class like this - Code: .rightalign { text-align:right; } and applying it like this - Code: <h1> <span class="rightalign" /> Heading </span> </h1> but it doesn't work, any help? Thank you. I started out working out a page thinking this *should* do what I want and lo and behold it did work in IE6 http://www.fogcat.co.uk/example/test002.html But when looking at Firefox it goes all odd. If you remove all the internal "imagediv" div from the "imagechunk" div it nearly works but doesn't algin the "link text" like IE. I'm told that display:inline-block is not properly supported, which is probably the root of my problems. What I want a set of divs down the page (the "imagedivs") Each div will contain An image - but that image will be nested inside a div - it's returned that way from a php function. Images may be of varying height so I can't use pixel values at top margins or anything like that. A link to another page The link should be positioned to the right of the image and aligned vertically with the centre of the image. This is one of those things that's a doddle with tables, but I'm trying to train myself to think CSS. What obvious thing am I over looking?
