CSS - Aligning Divs Vertically.... Should Be Simpler?
I'm wworking on a CSS template and I'm trying to vertically align two divs.... one on top of the other with a five pixel margin between the two....
However, unless I use a bunch of HTML breaks (which will result in an uneven template), I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried to vertical-align them and etc. Any help is appreciated. Oh, I know my code could be a bit more clean, this is just a comp. I've also tested this on FF so far. I doubt IE will return favourable results either. My example: www.efacln.com/Untitled-1.html My CSS code: Code:
#container
{
MARGIN: 5px;
}
#header_container
{
border-color: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: thin;
BORDER-LEFT: none;
BORDER-RIGHT: none;
WIDTH: 100%;
}
#header_content
{
BORDER-COLOR: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: thin;
BORDER-TOP: none;
BORDER-BOTTOM: none;
WIDTH: 600px;
HEIGHT: 100px;
MARGIN-LEFT: auto;
MARGIN-RIGHT: auto;
}
#kirk_news
{
BORDER-COLOR: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: thin;
WIDTH: 550px;
HEIGHT: 100px;
FLOAT: left;
POSITION: absolute;
MARGIN-TOP: 5px;
MARGIN-RIGHT: 2.5px;
}
#navigationblock
{
BORDER-COLOR: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: THIN;
WIDTH: 410px;
POSITION: relative;
FLOAT: RIGHt;
MARGIN-TOP: 5px;
MARGIN-LEFT: 2.5px;
}
#scott_news
{

MARGIN-TOP: 1 px;
MARGIN-TOP: 5px;

Similar TutorialsHi guys, I am trying to display two forms with several elements on a page. I would like to place the two forms on the webpage so that one is displayed on the left and the other on the right of the screen. Something like this URL http://craigbaldwin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/52.jpg I have written the following test and the forms are placed correctly inside the left and right divs. Code:

A couple of problems with the above. 1. In Internet explorer the divs are aligned correctly but in firefox it gets all messy. 2. As long as the window is maximised then i the divs are aligned vertically correctly. If i resize the browser window then they are no longer aligned vertically. Is there a way to make them always next to each other from left to right even if the window is resized? (try resizing the window for the example i showed above) Thanks 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? Code: +--------------------------------------+ | +----------------+ | | | .............. | | --- <div> | | : : | | ... <img> | | : : | Link here | | | : : | | | | .............. | | | +----------------+ | +--------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------+ | +----------------+ | | | .............. | | | | : : | | | | : : | Link here | | | : : | | | | .............. | | | +----------------+ | +--------------------------------------+ So I'm still on my quest to be able to create my 1st entirely CSS site, and need some help as I'm not sure how to do this. I want to be able to align a navigation list at the bottom right of the content area. Also while I'm at it, I want the site to be at a minimum 462px (just an example), but would like for it to increase in height if the content itself expands beyond the 462. And the navigation menu, I'd like to somehow keep at the bottom right of the viewable area. Thanks... here's the code...

I have a navigation bar that contains four images (side by side) as well as three text links. They all live within a <div> with the following properties: #gNav { width:768px; height:19px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle; } i need for the three text links to line up directly in the middle (vertically) of that <div>. To achieve this in IE6 and NN+, I attach the following style to the text. .nookum { font-size:.9em; vertical-align: 25%; color:#FFFFFF; } I just learned that the vertical-align property is not recognized by IE5 and IE5.5, so in those versions, the text aligns at the bottom of the <div>. Anyone know of any workarounds or other methods of vertically aligning text that will work in these two versions of IE? Hi, Just upgraded my monitor and am now operating on a 1280*1024 resolution. Previous website I have built have been for 1024*768 resolutions. Problem is now that some of my images are placed at the top of the screen when I want them in the middle... not with a load of blank space beneath them. I want the blank space equally around them. Anyway, I'm specifically talking about the website I have: http://www.atari-music.co.uk The front and home-pages suffer from this problem when viewed on > 1024*768 resolutions. I have attempted to fix the problem (though it is not in the code for the on-line version) by putting this into the style sheet:- IMG.middle { vertical-align: middle; } In the HTML for the image map I have:- <IMG class="middle" src="images/home.jpg" height="570" width="760" alt="ATARI - The Official Website" border="0" usemap="#siteMap"/> Am I not referencing the CSS code correctly? The image is still sitting, vertically aligned to the top. Cheers, Rob. At http://www.rietgors.tudelft.nl/combo/ you can see what I'm trying to do. I'd like the two elements to have either the same top or bottom, or have both elements centered vertically in the enclosing DIV. Can this be done using just CSS? I need the text "world leaders in spirometry" to be on the same base line as the text in the logo image for Vitalograph to the left of it. This is what I want it to look like image link This is what does look like web page link Here is the CSS css link How can I get abosolute vertical placement of the text best for firefox and IE? I know I could put the tage into the logo as one image, but for SEO I would like to have the text there if possible. Thanks! I have #sidebar on my website and within the sidebar which contains two smaller divs (Calender and Archive) inside it which are styled by #sidebar div When I put these two divs in, Calender wasn't where I wanted it to be, at the very top of the sidebar. It was a few pixels lower. To fix I went to #sidebar div and changed the top margin to -1px and now it's at the very top. Is this a sensible fix? I've checked in Chrome 2.0, Safari 4.0, Firefox 3.5 and IE 8 and it looks to be OK but there's a nagging feeling in my head that I shouldn't have needed to do this.

If someone could take a look that would be great. I've commented it up for you so you should be able to find the divs easily. The code has been verified. I'm not a great web designer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm learning as I go along so hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me out. Hi, I am trying to achieve a layout which uses unordered lists. Within the LI, there is an image and some text. The images are all different heights though. The issue i'm having at the moment is how can I make the text vertically align within the LI? Keep in mind that I can't put a height on as each image changes height. And these lists will be generated dynamically probably - so I don't really want to specify individual heights for each one... To make it even more difficult, the text may end up spanning onto two lines at some stage if i have to enter a larger description - so that also needs to be kept in mind. I've been looking around all morning for examples of how to do this and I can't find anything - so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here is what I'm trying to achieve: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/final_look.gif Here is the HTML at present: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/ And the CSS: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/css/style.css Thanks! Hi Guys, I'm trying to align some text along an image. The problem is, I want two lines of text to the right of the image, aligned to the top. If I put a <BR> tag between the two lines, the second line gets placed below the image. Here's what I have so far. img.top {vertical-align:text-top;} <a href="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> <img class="top" src="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> </a> <a href="company.com">sample text</a> <a href="company.com">second line</a> Any ideas? I've tried like every switch for the vertical-align property... DIV blocks display incorrectly in IE8 and it's driving me insane.. I tried adjusting padding for each column amongst other things but no dice! Everything looks fine in FireFox and IE9. I'm not allowed to post links as a new user but the website is dmstriping dot com. You'll have to fix the below links yourself. Any help would be greatly appreciated! **Here are the css files:** dmstriping dot com/new site/css/style.css dmstriping dot com/new site/css/layout.css Web Site: dmstriping dot com/new site/index.html Hi all, I know there are certain tricks to vertically center texts or images in a div area. And I have read somewhere there are plans to avoid current complexity compared with tables. For example, provided I use same CSS... Code:
div,table{
width: 250px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
text-align: center;
}
...we optain well vertically centered text in this table... Code: <table> <tr><td>this IS vertically centered</td></tr> </table> ...but not in this div based one... Code: <div>this IS NOT vertically centered</div> I ask, do you know an easy way to acomplish the same we get with tables? Thanks! Hi, I'm new here. I wasn't sure if this was a javascript problem or a css (I'm thinking it's probably a css problem). I've been using css for about a year, all very straight forward until my friend asked me to make some changes to his site Bascially what he wanted me to do is 1. vertically center the entire site to the browser window, and 2. also vertically center the title and caption for his photogallery Below is a link to the site I'm working on Code: http://theo.mypreview.co.uk/gallery/test I added some javascript that I found searching on google which isn't working quite right. This is the javascript code Code: (function ($) {
// VERTICALLY ALIGN FUNCTION
$.fn.vAlign = function() {
return this.each(function(i){
var ah = $(this).height();
var ph = $(this).parent().height();
var mh = (ph - ah) / 2;
$(this).css('margin-top', mh);
});
};
})(jQuery);
If you follow the link posted to the site I'm working on you should see 3 thumbnails, 1st thumbnail is a video which is my main struggle to center vertically. The other 2 thumbnails are for images. If you click on one of the thumbnails for a picture you will see how the title and caption align vertically (not quite center)* For some reason the div containing the main image content ignores the height so the margins are too big. *Video is posted within the span class called "phototext" which is where the descriptions for the images appears. side note - this javascript seems stop IE6 and 7 from loading the page Thanks Larss I'm trying to vertically align two divs inside a table cell. I have the cell's vertical-align property set to text-top because I want the first div to be aligned at the top of the td but I can't, no matter what I try, get the second div to align to the bottom. Is there a better way to accomplish this without nesting tables or is this the right way and I'm just missing something? Is there a way to get the #middle div to stretch vertically to fill up the remaining space of the page, say with min-height etc.?

I have a full css site that im in the mits of creating. It has 3 colums across in the main part of the site as you will see in the link below that some of my divs dont seem to be lining up w/ the top of the page... http://www.pollutionpaintball.com/version3/dennis_wells.html I have the first column that contains the thumbnails floating right with a margin-left of the navgition width and the profile div width. Next I have the navigation floated left Then I have the profile section in a div w/ a left - margin the size of the navigations width... any pointers would help... I camped out this weekend and worked all day and night to build one of the more advanced forms that I need. I am really pleased with the results so far, at least in IE. It is not perfect. I am having some problems with how it looks in FireFox. It looks great in IE. However, in Firefox, you can see the sections are bleeding together. Each is in it's own DIV set as BLOCK. The sections are Core Details Features Description Contact/Shipping/Payment Promotion Brief example <div> <h2>Core</h2> content bla bla bla </div> <div> <h2>Details</h2> content bla bla bla </div> The H2 headers, the text is bleeding into the div of the section before it. In IE, it doesn't. in FF, it's all jumbled up. Here's a link to an .html file of the form. It should open up in any browser since it references CSS by url and graphics by url. Can anybody check and see if it is a quick fix? I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't have any extra cash at the moment so I'm stuck. I've been trying to figure out the problem all weekend to no avail. http://quotes.cybercon.net/classifiedsform.html Also, here are two pics. Screenshots from IE and FF. In the IE screenshot, you can see how I outlined each section. The H2 headline tag (core/details/description/feature) is bleeding into the previous section. http://quotes.cybercon.net/classifiedformIE.jpg http://quotes.cybercon.net/classifiedformFF.jpg Thanks! -Jason I need help aligning the flash block to the right of my site to the one on the left so that they are both on the same line. gpostal.net is the website so you can see the flash blocks. See how one is at the bottom right? I'm trying to get that to the top right and closer to the one on the left. I'm trying to recreate a header that was built using tables. Here is an example of the original header. This is how I want it to look using div. http://65.175.116.253/logo/html_head_p1.html Here is the code for the table based header Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> </HEAD> <body bgcolor="white" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <basefont face="verdana"> <table width="780" height="68" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="#004C91" align="center" valign="center" width="222"><img src="http://65.175.116.253/logo/logo.gif" width="196" height="49" hspace="10"> </td> <td bgcolor="#004C91" align="center" valign="center" width="600"> <img src="http://65.175.116.253/logo/banner.jpg"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Here is the header using the code with DIVs. http://65.175.116.253/logo/styletest.html Here is the code I have using divs. I'm confused as to how to align the images correctly in the divs...
