CSS - My Navbar's Text - Placement And Vertical Centering???
my navbar is a <ul> and i jsut added image icons. i have two problems, the placement and the vertical centering.
placement: well, i guess its best to show you the code and what i had to do to get it in place. i used position:relative and then changed the bottom, but why is it so obscure??? Code: #navbar {
text-align:right;
background-image: url('images/menu_new.GIF');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
padding-right: 8px;
margin-top:-12;
height:31;
}
#navbar ul {
margin-right: -0.3em;
height:31px;
position:relative;
bottom:-2px;
}
#navbar ul li {
display: inline;
list-style-type:none;
margin-left: 0.3em;
margin-right: 0.3em;
position:relative;
vertical-align:middle;
}
#navbar ul li a {
padding-top:11px;
color:#495B20;
background-color:#BAD36B;
border-left: 2px solid #fff;
border-top: 2px solid #fff;
border-right: 2px solid #000;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}
#navbar ul li a:hover {
background-color:#495B20;
color:#BAD36B;
border-left: 2px solid #000;
border-top: 2px solid #000;
border-right: 2px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 2px solid #fff;
}
#navbar ul li div {
position:relative;
}
#navbar ul li img {
border:none;
width:24px;
height:24px;
padding-right:4px;
margin: 0;
}
vertical centering: i have looked at the tutorial, but i need serious help. i'm not trying it again, im missing something. can someone please show me how do do this? i want to center it like this... ....................................... . . . texttexttexttexttext. .image texttexttexttexttext. .----- texttexttexttexttext. . . ....................................... so both the image and text are centered but theyre floated left. actually, maybe they dont need to be floated cuz its just a word or two. look at the header for the best desc. i have tried this with my game box, and i'm clued out. i really hope sum1 can help me with this. http://www.viportals.com/ EDIT: DID IT ON MY OWN!!! THATS A FIRST!!! Code: #navbar {
text-align:center;
background-image: url('images/menu_new.GIF');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14px;
margin-top:-15px;
height:31px;
line-height:31px;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
}
#navbar ul li {
display: inline;
list-style-type:none;
}
#navbar ul li a {
padding-left: 0.3em;
padding-right: 0.3em;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
color:#495B20;
background-color:#BAD36B;
border-left: 2px solid #fff;
border-top: 2px solid #fff;
border-right: 2px solid #000;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}
#navbar ul li a:hover {
background-color:#495B20;
color:#BAD36B;
border-left: 2px solid #000;
border-top: 2px solid #000;
border-right: 2px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 2px solid #fff;
}
#navbar ul li img {
border:none;
width:24px;
height:24px;
padding-right:4px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
now i have one QUESTION: how do i get all the buttons to align center?????????? they all stay to the right oh, and not a huge deal, but the text is a couple pixels down so it brings the image down too. how can i make the text in the vertical middle? the line-height thing only worked so well. Similar TutorialsI'm sure this is some basic thing that's just slipped my mind. http://www.onlineeditions.com/opportunityhouse/ As you can see, it's rendered differently between FF and IE: the content column on the right has a few nested divs to hold background images, but on FF (And Safari) the "right" div seems to have slipped down and to the left a few pixels. Code and css is all valid, per w3c. If someone can help me find what's gone wrong here, I'd be most thankful. Hi all, I'm pretty new to CSS and html, and I've run into a problem with a navbar I've created for a website. I want the navbar to extend the length of the content on each page, but I can't seem to set it for that. All I've been able to do so far is get it to fit the content of the navbar itself (too small), or set the height for a higher number of pixels than I need on most of the pages. This lets me accommodate the content on my lengthiest page, but it leaves the others with a lot of white space on the screen. Could someone please take a look at the code and help me? Bolded line is the problem, but setting it to a percentage doesn't work, either. Thank you for answering what's probably painfully obvious!: #navigation { background: #CCCCCC; float: left; width: 18%; height: 750px; border-right: #990033 2px solid; border-left: #990033 2px solid; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; background-image: url (navbar.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; } #navigation ul{ list-style: none; background-color: #CCCCCC; padding: 5px; margin: 0px; text-align: left; } #navigation li a { display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; Hi guys I'm having trouble trying to convert a CSS navbar, which renders vertically, into an horizontal navbar. Look, here is the HTML Code, and following, the CSS code Code: <div id="menutoolbar">
<ul>
<li><a href="link1.html">Opcion1</a></li>
<li><a href="link2.html">Opcion2</a></li>
<li><a href="link3.html">Opcion3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS Code Code: div#menutoolbar {
height: auto;
width: auto;
}
div#menutoolbar li {
height: 21px;
width: 32px;
margin: 0px;
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: small;
text-align: center;
line-height: 65px;
list-style-type: none;
background-image: url(http://alf.openu.ac.il/www_eng/icon/button.gif);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
div#menutoolbar li a {
font-weight: bold;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-decoration: none;
}
div#menutoolbar li a:link {
color: blue:
}
div#menutoolbar li a:visited {
color: #900;
}
div#menutoolbar li a:hover {
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
}
div#menutoolbar li a:active {
color: black;
}
Does any1 know which code I have to modify to transform this vertical toolbar into horizontal ? Or maybe to point me to an easy example for doing an horizontal set of css buttons like this example... Thanks... I have a div that is 60px high. I want text to be centered vertically in that box. I know it is easy to do with tables, but how do you do it with css and divs? i tried using vertical-align, but that didn't seem to work. any ideas? How can I get the text to display in the middle of these boxes (vertically)? I would think vertical-align: middle would do it, but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any help! LauraS.

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. So here's the page I'm working on: http://johannkwan.com/about.html The HTML side is simple: Code: <div id="horizon"> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="about_content">About</div> <a href="http://www.johannkwan.com" id="back">Back</a> </div> </div> The CSS side is just a horizon bar with the wrapper in the middle, the top margin offset to half the wrapper so it'll center properly. Code: #horizon {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
margin-top: -300px;
text-align: center;
min-width: 800px;
}
#wrapper {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Here's my problem. If you're looking at the page on anything under 800x600 (or if you resize your browser to under 600) the top bit cuts off. You can't scroll up past part-way up the image. But it's not 300px of cut off... it's some sort of distance I haven't defined, so I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong. Is there a better way to vertically center my content? Or is there just something wrong in my stylesheet I'm not seeing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi guys. I've got a single element (image) that I want to vertically center in an otherwise blank page. Can anyone tell me how I can do this, that works with all browsers, and doesn't requite tables? http://www.waxpad.com/articles/vcexample.html I found this article on it, but joy of joys, it doesn't work in Safari on a mac! Hi, I would like to center a div inside another div (both vertical and horizontal) in such a way that the inner div would move/reside depending on the content inside it. In other words I have two divs; outerDiv and innerDiv. InnerDiv will have more html inside it and I would like innerDiv to always be in the middle of outerDiv regardless of its content. I did some research on the internet and I managed to achieve the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div#mbBackground{
display:block;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
margin: 0 auto;
z-index: 2;
background-color: #c00;
}
div#mbBackground div#mbWindow{
position:fixed;
top: 40%;
left: 40%;
z-index: 2;
margin: 0 auto !important;
margin-left: 40%;
margin-top: 40%;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: #fff;
color: #000000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- start: message box -->
<div id="mbBackground">
<div id="mbWindow">
Please Wait
</div>
</div>
<!-- end: message box -->
</body>
</html>
However with the above code, innerDiv does not re-position it-self correctly based on its content. Is what I need possible? Regards, Sim085 Can someone please explain this to me, because I'm apparently missing something. I have a div that I am using as an overlay to my site. I want this div to be 50% wide, and 50% high, and be properly centered on the screen. I was able to get horizontal centering working almost perfectly, but when it comes to vertical centering- things just don't make sense. To center, I'm setting top & left to 50% and then using margin-top and margin-left with negative values to compensate. What I assume should work (and seems to work with horizontal centering) is that if I set the margin-left to -25%, the leftmost side of my div should end up half-way between the beginning of the browser window and the center of the browser window. But if I set margin-top to -25%, by the same logic, it should move the topmost side of the div up to between the top of the browser view area and the center. But that doesn't seem to happen- at least in FF3: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
div#dialog
{
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
margin-top: -50%;
margin-left: -25%;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-top: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-left: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-right: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-bottom: #FF0000 3px solid;
z-index: 202;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog"></div>
</body>
</html>
Instead what happens is the top of my div ends up at the very top of the viewing area of the browser- and actually a little bit ABOVE it (outside of the view area). WHY!? If I set the margin-top to -50%, which I would expect to place the topmost edge of the div at the very top of the browser viewing area, the div disappears entirely! Yet if I set margin-left to -50%, it appears along the left side of the browser window where I'd expect it to be. Why might this be happening? Again, obviously I'm missing something. Can someone please explain? Is there another/better way of doing this? Thanks, - skubik Hello everyone, I'm trying to center a fixed size div both vertically and horizontally. Everything would work, but, as usual ... IE doesn't know how to handle it properly. Let me explain: Code:

If you copy and paste it to explorer, everything might even look good. But if you resize the browser to be just a little bit larger than the black div, you'll notice that both vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear. Why is this happening? How do i prevent IE from acting stupid? I've tested with ie6 and ie7. Hello, Thank you for reading my post This is what I try to create. A Vertical Navigator column with images, without knowing their size, as links and javascript actions. The images should be Horizontally centered. I want to set the width of the div 'navBar' dynamically so that the images inside the 'navElement's grows or shrink but stays in center. The images could be between 55 - 90 pixels width. And I want to have them grow or shrink between 40 - 80 px width. What I already got : The links and javascript actions are working. Also have a column working where the images are centered with a known size, but not working with images without knowing the size. I did try and search for several hours, but couldn't find a good solution. Mainly my question would be, how I can shrink or grow an image without knowing his size. Basicly my html code is Code: <div id="navBar"> <div class="navElement" id="nav1"> <img class="navImg" src="images/home.gif" /> </div> <div class="navElement" id="navN"> <img class="navImg" src="images/notHome.gif" /> </div> </div> my latest css for unknown image size Code: #navBar { /* main page navigation container */
height: 460px;
width: 70px; /* 1. this will be dynamically set */
left: 100px;
top: 151px;
position: absolute;
visibility: visible;
}
.navImg {
height: auto;
width: auto;
/* height: 60px;*/
/*width: inherit;*/
position: relative;
top:0px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#navElement1 {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 70Px;
top:0px;
margin:0 3px;
visibility: visible; }
With javascript I add a onclick event handler on each navImg wich trigger the action. This works to. Please, Is someone willing to help with pointers. Thanks in Advance SC Hello, i'm have a recurring problem when programming websites and it is the vertical spacing added by IE6 between two images. Here is an example template I am working on. brycecre8iv.com The lines beneath the buttons are getting an extra 10px padding at the top in IE6. Appears in order on FF2. Also for some reason the centering is not working with the main container in IE. this usually works perhaps someone can spot my errors. Thanks for any help. webg Guys, In IE, when I hover over a folder menu, the text in its sub-menu is missing. The entire navbar works fine in both Firefox and Chrome. Any suggestions?

i took out the font-size of the classes used over it but still a no go. look here to see it. Ok...I am dabbling with CSS and I was wondering if there was anyway to specify your text to run bottom to top instead of left to right in a table cell. Anyone know if it can be done? Hi, I've seen a number of posts and web pages about this but so far have NOT found a method that conforms to the w3.orgs css standard. There seems to be a lot of interest in this and l wondered whether anyone has found a work around that is compatible on more browsers than I.E? I'm trying to get vertical text in a menu ie h o m e - l i n k - And so on how can this be done thanks what is the tag for writing vertical in CSS? How exactly can i vertically align text in css, i can't seem to find an easy way to do it, i basically want my text to be in the middle of a divs height, so much easier in tables heh. Tried padding but that then adds to the height, making it pointless for this use |
