CSS - Css For Centering A Banner Image
I've been away for nearly three months and may have forgotten some of the basics of CSS.
Today I added a banner photo to the top of my new bike club site, but cannot remember how to style it so that, when a visitor adjusts the width of their browser window, the banner photo sidles to the left or right to remain centered at the top of their window, along with the the bike club name and pull-down menus immediately below (see http://stallinswebdesign.com/vs/index.php). Can you suggest how I can style that banner photo so that it remains centered whenever a visitor stretches their browser window? I know you can view source to view my <div> structure and so forth; let me know if you'd like to see any parts of my style sheet. Thank you for your valuable time. Curtis Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm working on a header which I'm having trouble with. Here's a crude diagram of what I'm looking to accomplish: Code: ____________ _______________________| |___ | _____________________| Logo |_ | | | |___________| | | | | Banner | | | |___________________________________| | | | | | <-- container div Uhhh, hopefully you can see what I'm getting at! I want a logo to be positioned on top of the banner image, but offset above and to the right, outside the container div holding the banner. Note also that the container div is centered in the page, so that the relative amount of space on either side of the container div increases and decreases with the browser window. Approaches I've tried: (1) Use position:absolute for the logo. The problem here is the horizontal position. Regardless of what I've tried, the logo moves horizontally with the size of the window. I want the logo fixed relative to the container div. (2) I've tried to use negative margins and place the logo inside the container div, but this doesn't seem to work either. How should I do this? All suggestions welcome. Thanks! I have a div with background images. It is styled float:left. That is all fine. The div is sized at 50x50px. Inside this div is a smaller image. I want the image to appear centered of the div. I have tried everything I can think of w r t margins and padding but the image allways shows up in the upper left corner. Here is an example: Code: <div class='caltool' onmouseover="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(images/litegearani.gif)';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(images/litegearstill.gif)';"> <a href="whatever.html" title="export to desktop calendar"><img style="margin: auto; height:16px; width:16px;" src="icon_export_vcal.png" width="16" height="16" border="0" /></a> </div> Here are the styles in the caltool class: Code: .caltool { float: left; background-image: url(../images/litegearstill.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:center; height:50px; width: 50px; } How can I make the images be CENTERED over the gear background?? So I have 2 different background patterns that extend to infinity behind my logo. Problem is, I could not center my logo in front of these two patters. Code: so it should display it like; Layer 1: Left Pattern Right Pattern Layer 2: Logo But instead, its displayed as; Layer 1: Left Pattern Right Pattern Layer 2: Logo I spent over an hour searching this on the internet. Any help appreciated, thanks! Code: .subcontent { min-height:50px; width:100%; background:#00CC66; } .leftcontent { min-height:50px; width:50%; float:left; background:url(images/bg_lpattern.jpg) repeat-x; } .rightcontent { min-height:50px; width:50%; float:left; background:url(images/bg_rpattern.jpg) repeat-x; } <div class="subcontent" style="position:relative;"> <div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:400px; height:50px; position:absolute;"> <img src="images/logo.jpg" alt="Insert Logo Here" name="Insert_logo" width="200px" height="50px" /> </div> <div class="leftcontent"> </div> <div class="rightcontent"> </div> </div> hello, i have this in my html: Code: <div id="link_image"> <a href="http://www.mylink.com/" target="_blank">My link with image </div> & here the css: Code: #link_image a { display:block; width: 130px; height: 21px; text-indent:-3000px; overflow:hidden; text-decoration:none; background:url(images/image.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; padding: 7px; background-color: #667700; } Now I would like that the image is right in the center of the background border with color #667700. Like now, it's just on the left side, not centered. thanks! My page has: 1) a left-sidebar which goes from the top-left corner and stretches down 2) a top-bar which goes from the edge of the left-sidebar and stretches all the way across to the right side of the page 3) a main content which covers the rest of the page I want to place an image in the center of the top-bar but so far it only is centered when the window is maximised...I want it to be centered no matter what size the window is. currently my css rules a Code: #topBar { position: absolute; height:15%; text-align: center; left:30%; margin:0px auto; } the xhtml source code for the topBar and image is: Code: <div id="topBar"> <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p> </div> (the image id is just concerned with the size of the image at this time) any suggestions as to how to I can have the image centered within the <div>? some bright spark on Yahoo Answers failed to spot that I'm using xhtml (which tbf is only mentioned once) and told me to try: Code: <div id="topBar"> <p><center><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></center></p> </div> or Code: <div id="topBar" align="center"> <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p> </div> Unless I'm mistaken, these are possibilities which will cause w3's validator to throw up an error. For the record I'm using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and I presume my doctype declaration is correct as it was automatically generated by dreamweaver when I first made the document! There's probably a simple, obvious solution for this, but I'm having problems managing to get this to work. Here's the isse: I have a menu that basically looks like so: Home | Guestbook | Contact Us | Help I need to place an image beneath each menu item so that is centered directly below the text, to indicate which page the user is on (not my design; I don't want to hear about it). I can not use tables for this - the menu items are pulled out of a database, and are generated in a loop; I also can't use some sort of div that requires a set width for each menu item, due to the fact that the menu items are all of variable widths. Ideas? How do i center the image both horizontally and vertically.... I have read the < ALIGN > has be depreciated and must use style, but STYLE="vertical-align:middle" dpesnt seem to work in either/both the < DIV > and < IMG > tags I am using an external CSS with a hiehgt of 168px, and calling the < DIV > block, then just using a < IMG > tag. How can i align the image int he middle?? Hi all, I am having trouble getting an image to go where I want it to, which is flush up against the top of the page and horizontally centered. I originally accomplished this a few years ago on my website, but now I am trying to do a new build, and this time around the code I used last time is not working! The working image can be seen here, it is the banner logo displayed at the top of the page. It's currently perfectly set, and all I want is to have that again on a new page. However, when I simply copy/paste the old code onto that new page, it doesn't look anything like the original. Here is the original code. In retrospect I have no idea how I got it to work, since it looks messy as heck: Code: <table align="center" style="position:relative; top:-15; z-index:5" border="0" width="983" height="198"> <tr><td><img style="position:absolute; top:0;" src="http://www.thesunderedguard.com/images/banner.jpg"></td></tr> </table> All my tinkering around with the new page has not been successful at all. Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers Hi, I'm new to CSS and haven't been able to get this working. I have two layers, one for an image, and another for text that goes on top. The text is supposed to be centered and the image should be centered wrt the text. The problem is that sometimes a word in the text will be too long and there's overflow. When this happens, the image stays on the left and the text box gets larger. This way the image isn't right behind the center of the text. I tried using overflow: visible but this didn't change anything. Thanks for any help. Hello, I am a fan of css and use it all the time. My one and only one problem with it is centering an image in a column that has been floated right. I've tried numerous ways to do this, but none have worked. Usually I end up adding a 2 column table, fixing the right column with x px, then adding images in rows in the left table column. This really does not center the image for all screen sizes, but it does move the images to the left. Also, margin-right:xpx would do about the same thing. This long-winded explanation leads to my css question: Is there a way to center images in a column that has been floated right? Maybe I am over-looking the obvious. Regards, Lee hmm i cant get this to work... i have the left side of the banner that needs to be expandable wich is a long picture.....and the right side is 10px wide. how can i get this 2 in a div wich get width by % and center aligned on the page? and also on a layer above other stuff Hi and thank you in advance for any advice or help. my website: http://earlystartdc.com/ Im having trouble trying to find the right css code so that i can adjust the banner underneath the menu in order to remove the white spaces in the module. I would like for the banner to be at margin 0 so that its all the way to the top without any white space in between. any help?? Thank you P.s - This is what my css files look like from my template/css folder . Hi there, I have the following in my css file: } #headerBannerWrapper { background-image: url(/GREENLOGO.jpg); background-position: bottom left; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #DEF2B0; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #headerBannerWrapper img { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; vertical-align: bottom; However the banner doesn't get rendered in IE7. It renders OK in IE8 Any help most appreciated. The above is linked to the following class: .clearFix:after { visibility: hidden; display: block; font-size: 0; content: " "; clear: both; height: 0; NB If the banner has content inside then it renders OK, however if there is no contents inside then the banner (green background) is not displayed. I'm trying to figure out a way to create a banner across the top that consists of an image, but whose right edge extends all the way to the right edge of the browser -- regardless of the window size. At the same time, I need to do the same thing with the left column: fill it with an image whose bottom edge extends all the way to the bottom of the window. I can do this with tables, but can't figure out a cross-browser way to do it in CSS. The "stretchy" right edge of the banner is simply a 1 pixel wide slice of the banner's right edge, repeated as necessary. Similarly, the "stretchy" bottom of the left column is a 1 pixel slice of the bottom of the column's image. I can't get these to appear in Mozilla. Here's my code: Styles.css: PHP Code: .banner { background-image:url(./images/banner-fill.gif); width:100%; } .nav { background-image:url(./images/nav-fill.gif); width:104px; height:100%; } .content { position:absolute; left:140px; top:140px; } Template.htm: PHP Code: <html> <head> <title>Template</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="height:100%;width:100%"> <div class="banner"><img src="images/banner.jpg" width="800" height="134" border="0"></div> <div class="nav"><img src="images/nav.jpg" width="104" height="327" border="0"></div> <div class="content"> <p>Page Content</p> </div> </body> </html> Hi everyone, I've been playing around with this for a while but I can't seem to get it to work. Basically, I'm trying to get this table effect in CSS layers. Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr bgcolor="#669999"> <td width="580">Welcome</td> <td> <div align="right"><img src="images/bg_dblue_gradient.gif" width="200" height="25"></div> </td> </tr> </table> It's basicly a 2 column layout, with the left column being some kind of content and the right column being a gradient graphic I made, to make the banner look like it has a full gradient. The gradient graphic is 200px wide, thus one resizing of the browser the table in a whole won't shrink down past 780 pixels. I want to use a <div> tag for the graphic so I can repeat-y and have the gradient appear fluid if someone resizes the text size. Any suggestions? Cheers, Fozzy |
