Hi,
How do I place "progress.gif" so that it is in the vertical middle in relation to <input type="text"
Right now it is OK in Interent Explorer 6 but appears too high in FireFox.
Code:

<div>
<label>City:</label>
<span><input type="text" name="city" /><span><img src="progress.gif" border="0" /></span></span></div>

I tried this to no avail.
<span style="padding-top:5px"><img src=...
Thank you.

I can usually figure out most CSS problems but this one is a mystery.

The following creates a curved box by covering the corner with an image. The problem is in IE6.0, the corner images do not align at the top but display about 10 pixels below it, so therefore I have a the box line and corners at the top and then the curved corners below it. Other browsers display fine, including IE7.0.

Why is it doing this?

Here is the CSS:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
.contain {
position:relative; top:0; left:0; text-align:left; padding:0; border:1px solid #ccc; margin:0 0 10px 0; background-color:#fff; vertical-align:top;
}
.corner-top { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:100%; position:relative; top:-1px; right:-1px; background:transparent url(/images/crn_tr_bb.gif) no-repeat top right;}
.corner-top .corner-left { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:8px; position:relative; left:-2px; background:transparent url(/images/crn_tl_bb.gif) no-repeat top left; }
.corner-bottom { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:100%; position:relative; bottom:-1px; right:-1px; background: transparent url(/images/crn_br_bb.gif) no-repeat bottom right;}
.corner-bottom .corner-left { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:8px; position:relative; left:-2px; background: transparent url(/images/crn_bl_bb.gif) no-repeat bottom left; }
</style>

<div class="contain">
	<div class="corner-top"><div class="corner-left"></div></div>
    <div class="intro" style="position:relative;"><p>Text here...</p>
	<div class="corner-bottom"><div class="corner-left"></div></div>
    </div>

I have a problem where my image on top there is a little gap below it. This only happens in Internet Explorer and not Mozilla; i wish to rid of that gap. Also I am wondering how would I align the text on the right, i have tried applying the vertical-align: bottom but it does not work. Here is the link: http://www.bluebushel.com/temp/real.html The code is below.

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!

Basically on my main page the left menu and right content divs don't align, i need the rights bit to align with the lefts lower bit.

linky -> http://www.gamingonlinux.info/

css that controls them:
Code:

.left
{
	float: left;
	width: 152px;
}

.left_bg
{
	background-image: url(images/left.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.left_bg p
{
	padding-top: 9px;
	padding-left: 6px;
	line-height: 150%;
}

.right
{
	float: right;
	background-image: url(images/content.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	width: 748px;
}

.right p
{
	padding-left: 5px;
}

hello
i have this style in a css file....

.subheadinginvgreen {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
color: #006666;
font-weight: bold;
sline-height: .2em;
align:center;
}

somehow when i apply it to a div tag, it does not center the text...e.g. <div class="">test text</div>

i am using the "body{text-align:center}" hack to align everthing center on this page, it works for everthing but the next and back buttons... well, they align center in IE... but not Firefox (mozilla)

http://www.defunctgames.com/reviews/picpreview.php4?picpreview=5&id=390

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.

Hi all,

I have a test page he

test page

and here is the code:
Code:

<body><p>
style="background-image:  url(redSqr.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 12px;
</p>
<!-- BEGIN BUSCTR MENU -->
<div id="divMenuMain" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; background-color: #a07e33; z-index: 1; width: 658px; height: 147px;">
<div id="divMenuBoarder" style="position: relative; left: 5px; top: 22px; background-color: white; z-index: 2; width: 648px; height: 120px;">
<div id="firstCell" style="background-image:  url(bc.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px 0px; width: 70px; height: 120px; overflow: hidden;">
<span id="bcSpan" style="vertical-align: middle; width: 60px;">TwoWord Texts</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>


</body>

The problem is he
Code:

<div id="firstCell" style="background-image:  url(bc.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px 0px; width: 70px; height: 120px; overflow: hidden;">
<span id="bcSpan" style="vertical-align: middle; width: 60px;">TwoWord Texts</span>
</div>

What I am trying to do is get a span to be aligned in the center of my div, so I called vertical-align: middle.

I don't think this will work because the parent has to by anonymous for this to work, as I found out he
"The following values only have meaning with respect to a parent inline-level element, or to a parent block-level element, if that element generates anonymous inline boxes; they have no effect if no such parent exists."

The question is, how can I have a span(or anything, whatever) align vertically center to a div?

Thanks for your help, I hope this wasn't too long,

CJB

I have both Chinese characters and English characters in one paragraph, but they don't align to the bottom with the English characters appearing like <sup>. I have used 'vertical-align' to align the text, but not successful. Pls help.

Hi there,
ahhhh I have just decided to start using Firefox and now am rreworking my site. All new set up issues to try and fix and i don't even know where to start. Here is my site: www.kohlrbaby.com
The issues:
1) nav bars are no longer positioned correctly vertically, nor can I get the text to center in FF
2) the white box extends longer then it should in FF vs IE
3) the text is extending off the white box in the catalogue area in FF
please please offer me some css insight

Hi guys. I was trying hard to figure out myself before posting this question

on this site: (www dot paintersdirectory.ie/listing/location/leinster/county-longford)

there is a "float-right" div ".sidebarSearch". It is hitting left bottom corner of the div "map" above it. I would like my sidebarSearch to be underneath map on the very right.
