CSS - Centered Site With Resizable Sides
Right, I'm a bit out of options on what else I can choose to do with my DIV tags and their properties but it's prolly a common problem.
I'm trying to make a website where I have my main div in the center of the page. Next to that main div I want to have 2 DIV's, each on either side, which have a fixed width and a background image. Now the trick to it all, is that the sides should resize the moment I size the browser to a small one. I can get them to be on either side, but just getting them to resize and not my main window is something I can't seem to get the work. Anyone has any tips for me ? Similar TutorialsIs it possible to tell CSS to make the border for say, a table, show on three sides? (Not one, not four, not two....three sides) Hi all, I am trying to do the following: I want to have a page essentially divided into 3 sections: left side|middle|right side. On the left and right sides of the page, I would like to have a gradient that is a dark shade of gray starting from the edge of the screen and getting lighter as it reaches the middle section of the page. I have seen some tutorials on the web describing how this is accomplished, but I have not had much luck. I have been told that an easy way to do this would be to treat the page as a large table, with the centre cell being another table. I am pretty sure that this is poor design, but I am unsure about how to do this the proper way. As for the gradient portion, the tutorials indicate that I should make an image that is a few pixels in height and x number of pixels in width, and just do something similar to this: Code: .grad{
background:url("gradient.jpg") top left repeat-y;
}
where "gradient.jpg" is the image I created. I could then apply the "grad" class to any element I wish, but I can not get this to work. Any ideas would be helpful. Hello all I have an elastic design in which an image clips to the appropriate size via overflow: hidden. Is there any way to control which sides are cropped? What I mean is, can one emulate the background-position property for IMGes with overflow: hidden? Thanks Tom This problem just started happening, but frustratingly I can't remember what I was changing when it started happening. The problem is that (almost) all the images on the site seem to be "bumped" 1px out of place, with a black border showing on the top and left hand sides of the images. This is not showing up with ALL images, however. I've embedded an image and you can see the effect on the logo, on the graphics in the body text, and on the sub-menu items (with the 'empty' box icons). However the effect does not occur on the menu items with the 'full' box icons. OK, apparently, I CAN'T EMBED AN IMAGE. Or a link to an image. Or a link to the site in question. SO I have no idea how I am actually supposed to get help for this problem. If someone can PSYCHICALLY DEDUCE what the problem might be without being able to view the site or an image of the problem, that'd be ACE! GAAAAH Alright, let's see if we can do this with JUST the CSS & HTML. Here is the CSS: Code:

A lot of the images that are showing the 1px-off problem are contained in the SSIs (I don't think anyone here wants me to post the full content of the SSIs, do they?) but quite a few of the images in the main HTML are, as well: banner_developments1.png & all the logos. This would be a lot easier if I could show you a picture of what was going on. 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 How can i accomplish this with CSS? See image he hxxp://g.imagehost.org/0398/css.png (replace x with t) 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; } 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. 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 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? 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> Hello 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? Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Hello everyone. I would like to thank anyone who attempts to solve this in advance. I have a css page here . If you need me to post the code let me know, but I temporarily have embedded styles so I figured you could view source easily enough. The entire content of the page centers just fine in Firefox2, but unfortunately is aligned to the left in IE7 on PC. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks again for your expertise and time, phpkata. having trouble centering a web site what i want to precisely position elements in my site and i thought that i could put all the elements in to one div tag and make that centered. i can center it but the problem is when the browser is resized smaller that the content the site remains centered and center starts diserpering off the left edge. what i want it to do once resized smaller is for a horizontal scroll bar to appear and for content not to disappear on the left edge of the screen. i have half achieved this but now my content dose not stay in the main div check out my example the "center1" div should appear inside the top light gray box but it dose not! http://www.thehopeandanchor.net/nypd/layertest.htm the code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>redeem file</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- div#center1 { /*position:absolute;*/ margin:0px auto; top:10px; width:600px; height:47px; background-color: #cccccc; } div#center2 { position:absolute; left: 50%; margin-left: -300px; top:80px; width:600px; height:47px; background-color: #cccccc; } div#insidebit { position:absolute; left:50px; top:10px; width:64px; height:26px; background-color: #eeeeee; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="center1"> <div id="insidebit">center1</div> </div> <div id="center2"> <div id="insidebit">center2</div> </div> </body> </html> 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!

I need 2 things to happen: 1. The parent container must be centered on the page (this worked fine until I added the Doctype tags. 2. the thumbnails must be vertically centered within the child containers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate some help. Struggling to get my <ul> to display itself on the left side of my sidebar navigation. I just want it over maybe 40 pixels to the left. I'm not sure why the ul is aligning itself in the center. I tried floating the elements left, but the ul is stuck centered. I tried adjust margins/padding but all that does is truncate the text to another line. I set absolute position and got the list to move all the way to the left, but it broke the flow of the page and the list ran over top of the headers. Any thoughts? All the CSS structures are imbedded in the STYLE section of the index file. http://www.mgan.net/work/10-20-04/ Bonus question: Anyone know why in internet explorer when you run the mouse of my top navi-bar the footer graphic for the news section disappears? Hi everyone, I am trying to make a horizontal navigation near the top of my website. But I can't seem to make it center but AND horizontal, i've only been able to center it but not horizontal... or have it horizontal but not center. This is my CSS so far.
