Now suppose that the image is 50px high. What I would like is to get the links to align at the bottom of the instead instead of at the top. I tried a vertical-align: bottom but that didn't seem to help the situation any. Similar TutorialsHi-- I'm developing a 3-column site for a customer and was asked to make the first two columns align vertically to 385px. So the bottoms of all the text will be at 385px. The text is dynamic, so I have no way of knowing how tall the blocks will be. The first column will be one or more paragraphs of text and the second will be a bulleted list. Any help is greatly appreciated! :grimey Hi, I have navigation links at the top of a blog in a header file, and cannot get them to align vertically for both firefox and IE. I've tried everything I can think of (using extra <br>, <p>, vertical-align: middle, changing margins, changing padding, etc) but cannot find a solution that aligns them vertically in both browsers. Any help is appreciated. Here is the code, which works in firefox: Code: <body> <!-- page header --> <div id="header" "border: 0px solid; margin:0 auto; "> <a href="http://www.website.com/blog/"><IMG SRC="http://www.website.com/images/logo.png" BORDER=0 width="435" height="92" ALT="logo" align="left"></a> </div> <div style="clear: both; margin:0 auto; "></div> <div style="background-image: url(http://www.website.com/images/sidebar_center2.jpg); border: #333333 2px solid; width: 900px; height: 60px; padding: 6px; margin: 0px auto; font-size: 17px; text-align: center; "> <p><font face="calibri,verdana" color="#ffffff"> <a href="http://www.website.com/"><font color="#ffffff">Home</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-1.html"><font color="#ffffff">ilnk 1</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-2.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 2</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-3.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 3</font></a> | <a href="http://www.website.com/tips-4.html"><font color="#ffffff">link 4</font></a> | </font></p> </div> <!-- begin wrapper divs --> <div id="content"> Hi, I am having trouble with divs inside tables cells.

I'm creating a tabbed menu system to navigate my site, which is in a three column layout wrapped in the centre fluid wrapper. Due to the way I'm doing the menu I need to vertically align the menu to the bottom of the DIV it is in. The menu is an unordered list with the styling stripped out and replaced so that the items are arranged horizontally. Yet no matter what I do they either align to the top or the centre, worse while searching for an answer I only seem to be able to find people who want centring.

(Not sure how much of that is needed to answer the question.) (Oh and many of the design elements colors etc are still in that due to testing stuff not because I actually need them.) Which is how do I get that dang thing aligned to the bottom/side of that box? Hi, there. Having looked around the forum for a CSS method of vertically centering an IMG within a DIV, I found the following code which works perfectly in IE but not FF : #full-image { float: right; width: 380px; height: 380px; text-align: center; line-height: 0px; background-color: #F0F5F7; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; } #full-image img { margin-top: expression(( 380 - this.height ) / 2); } That's right - works in IE but not FF, which is most unusual! Any ideas how to make this work cross-browser? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Hi guys, I'm still a beginner at CSS and I have run into a problem... In my footer, I want all the text to be aligned vertically and horizontally in the middle. eg. ------------------div-------------------- ............. text text text text text ------------------div-------------------- Can you please show me what text I would need to put in the #footer? My footer is 900px wide and 120px high. I am adding more than one line of text. If there's any more info u need from me to solve this problem then please ask. Any help will be great. Thank you very much I have what I think is an easy question for you guys. I have an absolute positioned element and I gave it a height of 100px. I want to know how to make it so that any text that I enter goes to the bottom of this element. By default, the text appears at the top left. I tried vertical-align with all of its values, but none of them worked. The only way I could get it to appear the way I wanted was to use line-height. Using line-height I am able to get the text where I want it, but it doesn't seem like this is the way it should be done. Is there a way in which you don't have to specify a specific line-height value to get the where you want and it make it so all text appears at the bottom instead of the top? Here is what it looks like, and the CSS is below. Thanks. Code:
<html><head><title>test</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: white;
}
#top {
position: absolute;
left: 20%;
right: 20%;
top: 2.5%;
height: 100px;
color: white;
background-color: rgb(20%,20%,20%);
border: 2px solid red;

So I have a calendar that I created in PHP and I'm displaying it in a table and I'm having trouble aligning the title and the two image arrows that go on either side of it. I'm trying to align everything vertically in the middle of the row and it seems that in Firefox, the Title is lower than the two arrows, but in Chrome and IE it seems to be right in the middle where it should. How do I solve this? Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="cal_left_arrow">
<img src="/images/left_arrow2.jpg" width="9px" height="13px" onClick="displayCalendar(<?php echo $prevYear; ?>, <?php echo $prevMonth; ?>);" />
</td>
<td class="cal_title" colspan="5" valign="middle">
<?php echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)).' '.$year; ?>
</td>
<td class="cal_right_arrow">
<img src="/images/right_arrow2.jpg" width="9px" height="13px" onClick="displayCalendar(<?php echo $nextYear; ?>, <?php echo $nextMonth; ?>);" />
</td>
</tr>

I am already used to tableless design but I have not yet solved the way to vertically center texts the way a cell of a table does by default. How do you solve this problem?. Obviously I look for a simple CSS style to manage this need. Thanks! Hi, 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. Sorry for the vague subject line, but it's difficult to summarize. Disclaimer: I am not a designer, just a programmer trying to get a rough layout so the client can see how things will work, which can then be turned over to someone who will make it look nice. My usual solution is to use tables, but that won't work for this! Basically I want a number of lines running down the page, each line having a check box, radio button or nothing in the left column, and text in the right. Each line will have a varying indent level. The text may be lengthy and wrap, and I want it to stay within its own cell when it does. Like a table. But I can't really get it to do the indenting the way I want. I could probably get it to work, but it would be really, really kludgy, and I do have some pride! I put it in DIVs, like this: Code:
<HTPEACH DATASET="Ratings">
<DIV CLASS="Container {{ds_Indent}}">
<DIV CLASS="Block1"><HTPTAG NAME="ds_Field"></DIV>
<DIV CLASS="Block2">{{ds_Text}}</DIV>
</DIV>
</HTPEACH>
If I float Block1 left and Block2 right and give them widths, it works except that Block 2 is still lower than Block1. So I look into positioning. To make a long story short, what I end up with is this: Code:
.Container {
width: 650px;
position: relative;
}
.Block1 {
float: left;
width: 25px;
border: 1px solid navy;
}
.Block2 {
float: right;
width: 625px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 25px;
border: 1px solid navy;
}
Which, of course, ends with everything at the top of the page, all overlapping. Reading a little more, I can see why, but now I'm stumped. Hey everyone, I am wondering how Lufthansa http://www.lufthansa.com/ Put a mouseover table thingy on their page. On the top roll your mouse over "worldwide sites" and a little thing drops down. Does anyone have a script like that? Thanks for your help! Hello all. I posted about menus earlier but this refers to a completely different menu in case there is any confusion. Consider the following code: Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>My site</title>
<style type="text/css">
#level0 { height: 240px; }
#level0 ul {
list-style-type: none;
border: 0;
border-top: thin solid #ff0000;
padding: 0;
margin: 0; } /* end #level0 ul */
#level0 ul li {
display: block;
padding: 0;
margin: 0; } /* end #level0 ul li */
#level0 ul li a {
border-bottom: thin solid #ff0000;
border-right: none;
text-align: right;
padding: 0;
padding-right: 0.5em;

text-decoration: none;
display: block; } /* end #level0 ul li */
#my_image { float: right; }
</style>
</head>

<li><a href="#">Link 6</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 7</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 8</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Here is some random text.</p>
</body>
</html>
Visually, this should be a vertical menu next to an image with a set height of 240px. What I want to happen is for the menu to be exactly 240px tall with the whitespace distribution to be uniform throughout each of the links. I was playing around with margin and padding and was thinking that auto might figure in to it but I could not get the correct combination to accomplish this. I prefer to have CSS determine the whitespace distribution for me because the client may want to add or remove menu options so it may not always be 8. Thoughts? And again, everyone on this forum has been really helpful and patient with me and I am very thankful for that. This may have been asked and answered before, but if so my search-fu has failed me. I am working on an external style sheet for a set of pages, some pages will have floated div sidebars, some pages will have boxed paragraphs, and some pages will have both (as in the example). 1) Why does the background and border of the boxed paragraph extend under the floated div sidebar even though the text does not ? 2) Is there a way to get the background/border of the boxed paragraph to "see" the floated div sidebar so that the right edge of the boxed paragraph's border would be visible ? I am hoping for an answer that does not involve absolute units for the boxed paragraph, since I want the pages to fill whatever window size the the viewer might have. The simple example below should demonstrate the issue. and could be copy/pasted to a site like: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic Code: <html><head><style>
body {font-size:small;}
div.side {float:right; border:1px solid red; padding:4px; margin:0 0 0 8px; width:40%; background:#ddd;}
.box {border:1px solid lime; padding:8px; margin:8px; background:#eee;}
p {margin:4px 0; text-align:justify}
</style></head><body>
<div class="side"><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>

Do I have to put my <ul> in a <div> and keep my <img> out of the <ul>? 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. 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. Hi, I've seen a number of posts and web pages about this but so far have NOT found a method that conforms to the w3.orgs css standard. There seems to be a lot of interest in this and l wondered whether anyone has found a work around that is compatible on more browsers than I.E? I am new to CSS style sheets and coding. Best way to explain problem is to say: go to: sfsmokefree.org/test View in Firefox = no issues, looks good View in I.E. = left column is all pushed downwards what's up with that? |
