CSS - Vertically Positioning Divs Inside Table
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? Similar TutorialsI'm trying to place some content inside a main "box", and I can't seem to get the length of the "box" div to expand to fit the content inside it. It seems like the DIVs inside aren't actually inside it. The only way I can make it fit is if i actually specify a "height" on the first DIV. <div style="width:700px; background-color:#000000; border-width:.1em; border-style:solid; padding:2em; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-top:2em; border-color:#999999; height:1000px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#FFFFFF;"> <div style="width:300px; float:left; margin:2em; clear:both;"><center><img src="../images/halihomeless.jpg" /></center> <br /><center><img src="../images/luvhali.jpg" /><br /> <div style="width:250px; margin-top:1em; background-color:#121212; padding:.5em; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em; text-align:justify;">placeholder text </div> </div> <div style="width:300px; float:right;margin:2em;"><center><img src="../images/haitihomeless.jpg" /></center> <br /><center><img src="../images/luvhaiti.jpg" /> <div style="width:250px; margin-top:1em; background-color:#121212; padding:.5em; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em; text-align:justify;">placeholder text </div> </div> <div style="float:right; width:650px; margin-bottom:2em; right:52px; top:15px; padding:2em; color:#CCCCCC; font-size:10px;">IMAGE" align="right" border="0" / ></a><p>luvHALI and luvHAITI are ministries of Deep Water Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.</p><p>To donate to either project, please visit <a href="placeholderforcanadagives">Canada Gives</a>.</p><p>If you wish, you can visit Deep Water Church</a> for more information about who we are.</p><p>1657 Barrington Street | Suite 536 | Halifax, NS, Canada | B3J 2A1 | 902.880.4266</p></div> </div> Thanks so much for any help! Robin I have a dynamic table that is in the cell of another table. For the life of me I cant get it to stick to the top of the cell. It wants to sit at the midline of it vertically. Thanks for reading. Hi I have a problem with tables and divs consider this table and divs: <TABLE> <TR> <TD> <DIV STYLE='hieght:30px'> text </DIV> <DIV STYLE='position:relative;top:-30px;height:30px'> text </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> if I don't put position:relative;top:-30px; inside the second div the height of table would be around 60px (you say) as expected but when I put position:relative;top:-30px;, I would expected to have my table shrinks to 30px not the same 60px because I put two divs on the top of each other. Obviously for one reason or another my assumption isn't correct. So how do I amend the code to get a correct height of table? Perhaps I can use tables in this way? HI all... i have been loving my table layouts, but it seems that if i dont convert i will get left behind, so help a fellow out... the problem is that i have a complex 3 col layout, and i need the divs to auto size to fill the whole div... code will explain it better i think Code: <div style="border:1px solid white;width:100%;height:600px;"> <div style="border:0px solid blue;height:300px;float:left;"> <div style="border:1px solid blue;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid red;width:100px;height:100%;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid yellow;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> </div> <div style="border:0px solid yellow;height:300px;float:left;"> <div style="border:1px solid blue;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid red;width:100px;height:100%;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid yellow;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> </div> <div style="border:0px solid yellow;height:300px;float:left;"> <div style="border:1px solid blue;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid red;width:100px;height:100%;"></div> <div style="border:1px solid yellow;width:100px;height:100px;"></div> </div> </div> the first div is the wrapper, the first is the left then the middle then the right... but if the middle one changes height the rest are left at there default, and i just cant seem to locate the problem, i give it a day, then its back to tables.... this is not helping me like this CSS stuff just a note the whole lot will be centered with a margin of 20-30px... so no fixed positions for the inner divs.. frank/ I have a positioning puzzle for you. It's as part of a web design assignment, so broad accessibility is not required. even working on IE is not required. YES! here is the problem, explained by means of an image. because a picture speaks a thousand words. so they say. [IMG](URL address blocked: See forum rules)[/IMG] Any assistance or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. Hi, I have centered a table horizontally and vertically. To do this I put a table inside a table. so i don't want to use absolute positioning, as the position would change if the window size changes... My problem, with relative positioning, is that I can't figure out how to put my "some text" over an image -which is inside the table cell- in the exact position i want, without "collateral damage"... The collateral damage is that if I put the <div> tag inside the table (see example 1), it will occupy the space and as result the image wll be moved down and layout won't be centered vertically anymore... If I put the <div> tag outside the table (see example 2), as result there will be more occupied space at the top, and the layout isn't centered anymore... Here you can see the code i used for both example 1 and example 2: example 1: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 1</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:50px; top:50px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> example 2: <html> <head> <title>relative problem - example 2</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" height=100% border="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="middle"> <div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:200px; width:50px; height:200px; text-align:left; overflow: auto; z-index:1;"> some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text </div> <table border=1> <tr> <td width="640" height="480"> <img src="http://www.pbworks.net/images/help.jpg" width="640" height="480"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> thx for letting me know...

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 Is there any way to make some text vertically aligned inside a DIV? Just like you would do inside a cell? Code: <table><td valign="middle" height="100">This text is vertically aligned</td></table> Apparently, the vertically-align CSS property only works if it is relative to other DIVs. What I want is some vertically aligned text inside a DIV. Thanks for the help. I have a div with blue background on the page below. It is is currently displaying horitzontally across the screen, with the images inside doing the same. I would like to vertically align it along the right side of the page, next to the text (which would be on the left). I'd also like the 'Property Search' within the blue, aligned below the photo of the house. Can anyone help me out? I'd like to KNOW how to do it and not have someone just send me an updated style sheet. Thanks. Styles attached. http://mulqueenconsulting.com/galese/ 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:

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 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! 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. 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.?

Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;

I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. I'm setting up a template for a page where there's essentially three rows. Header, content, and footer. I set the entire table to be 100% vertical and I've also set the table in row 2 (the content row) to be 100% vertical. But when I view the page in IE, the content row only stretches as much as there is content, but I'd like it to stretch and hit the bottom edge of the page even if there is not enough content. Any ideas? I would like the content table on the website to stretch as to the edges of whatever space it is taking up. But when I view the page, the table doesn't stretch vertically down until it hits the bottom edge. Any ideas? PHP Code: .content { height: 100%; width: 100%; } This is the first website I'm trying to make compatible with all browers so I'm running into a few new things. Positioning a div inside another div: I usually use margins to position the second div where I want it, but I noticed this doesnt work in firefox, safari, opera, etc. Only IE. Which I know IE is the problem not the other browsers. I did switch to padding rather than margins and it got the desired effect across all browsers. Is padding the right way to go? Just want to make sure before I keep going forward with it. Thanks. |
