CSS - Vertical Align Select Box
Hello all,
Is there a good way to have the text in a select box be vertically aligned? I have the following: Code: <select style="height: 12em; width: 12em;"> <option value="a">A</option> <option value="b">B</option> </select> Which puts the text in the upper left but I would like it to be in the dead center. I tried vertical-align but it did not work. Similar TutorialsHi, 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. Hello to all of you, I am doing my first steps in respect to CSS programming and wonder if I can get some hint here. I have created a table, with two different line colors, and a changing line background color with hover. Basically everything works as expected - just the vertical-align command does not respond at all. Am I doing something wrong? What could be the reason, and how can I continue investigating? I am using the CSS stylesheet, in connection with a Joomla 1.5 CMS. Please see the code below: Code: table.general { text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } table.general th { text-align: center; font-size: 15px; color: white; font-style:bold; height: 30px; background-color:#95B3D7; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF; } table.general tr.row1 { background-color: #f1f1f1; } table.general tr.row2 { background-color: #e0e0e0; } table.general tr.row1:hover { background-color: #CCCCCC; } table.general tr.row2:hover { background-color: #CCCCCC; } table.general td { border: 3px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px; } The classes are being used in the following form: Code: <table style="width: 320px;" class="general"> <col span="4" width="80"></col> <tbody> <tr> <th>head A</th> <th>head B</th> <th>head C</th> <th>Alface</th> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>Topic A</td> <td>65</td> <td>215</td> <td>35</td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td>Topic B</td> <td>2</td> <td>2,3</td> <td>1,2</td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>Topic C</td> <td>68</td> <td>55</td> <td>13</td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td>Topic D</td> <td>44</td> <td>50</td> <td>33</td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>etc.</td> <td>494</td> <td>611</td> <td>238</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Thank you in advance for your kindness! How can i make #mydiv DIV (the main layout div), be vertically aligned to middle? http://www.dinal.ru/new/max/index2.htm I've read a lot of docs about vertical alignment in internet, but I haven't found a good cross-browser solution, which doesnt't destroy my current layout. Thank you in advance Artashes Hi, I am trying to use the vertical-align property to make some text appear in the middle of a div (set float:left). However it is not working. Following is some sample code I have done for testing: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>ccc</title> <style> div{ width:16.7em; height:6.8em; border:1px solid black; vertical-align:middle; float:left; } </style> </head> <body> <div>hello</div> </body> </html> Is this possible? Thanks and Regards, Sim085 Is not working for me, or I'm not using it right. Here is my problem: http://www.kingtoad.net/development/kingtoad.net/ I want the "navigation" to align to the top even with the "content". I can't seem to get it up there though. Any suggestions would be nice. for example if there is a container div which holds an inner div, if i want the content of the inner div to appear exactly at the bottom edge of the inner div i have used the following code, #outer{ position: relative; float: left; width: 900px; height: 200px; } #outer .inner{ position: relative; float: left; width: 500px; height: 200px; vertical-align: bottom; } however the content of the inner div is starting at its default location which is top left of the inner div instead of using margin-top or padding-top, or positioning methods for the inner div to position the content at the bottom edge can the vertical-align: bottom; be used as this will be very accurate placed at the bottom edge even if the content increases the content will always appear at the bottom edge, unlike other methods where the margin-top, padding-top, and positioning, these values will have to be changed whenever content increases or decreases. please advice. thanks. I'm trying to put a line of text on the bottom of a box. Code: <div style="width:500px;height:500px;background:black;vertical-align:bottom;"> This is a black box </div> <div style="width:500px;height:500px;background:black;vertical-align:baseline;"> This is a black box </div> What the above code displays: Code: ------------------------- | This is a black box | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------------------- What I want it to display: Code: ------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a black box | ------------------------- Hi I want to know if it is possible to vertical align the text in these div tags and how it's done.

I have some navigation links, a few pictures, and someone's name on the left hand side of the page. I want everything except for the name to be at the top.... the name is to be at the bottom. Is there a specific way to accomplish this? The content area will generally extend as high as 600 or so px, so would like the name to appear at the very bottom lined up with the content box. Thanks.

Right beside it, I have a H1. I want to vertically align the H1 in the middle of the image. Vertical align doesn't work, and for some reason, setting the line height to the height of the image doesn't work either. Hi guys, I've got a table cell in which I want to display two pieces of text - one aligned top left, one aligned bottom right. Now, I can't for the life of me get the one to align to the bottom right. I can align the first bit of text to the top left fine, just not the second to to the bottom right. At the moment I've got this code: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="350" height="112" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top" background="templates/<?=$templatedir?>/images/domain_box_05.gif" width="350" height="112"> <div style="height: 56px; padding: 10px 0px 0px 20px; border: 1px; border-style: solid"> test1 </div> <div style="height: 56px; border: 1px; border-style: solid"> [<a href="pricing.php" target="_blank" onClick='window.open("/pricing.php","pricing","width=475,height=415,status=yes,scrollbars=1,resizable=1");return false;'> test2</a>] </div> </form> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> I've just got the borders on there at the moment to see exactly where the div's are for debug purposes. I've tried using vertical-align: bottom, but it just doesn't do anything.
