Similar TutorialsHello I am very new to CSS. One of my problems is that my web experience is only in tools that generate the code. I"m needing what I"m told is a simple thing to do, but not finding it easy for me I tried to post with some links to my site, etc, but the rules won't let me post any links. I have posted in another CSS site, but fine it very inactive and not getting any help. What I'm trying to do All items below to make up the header of the site. A background graphic which fills across the screen, no matter the size of the window. I have this working, although if I shrink the window too far, it overwrites the graphic in item 2 below. A left justified logo graphic. Working fine. A Centered graphic. I have this showing, but it is not quite centered right, and it is a bit smaller than actual, and I cannot get it to space down a bit. (tried padding, does nothing. Trying margin spaces everything down, including item 1 above. A right justified graphic. This shows, but is VERY SMALL, much smaller than original graphic, and it does not right justify. NOTES The current code, below, is based on a tutorial I went through, using % for width. The idea being that if it is built based on percent of width, then whatever width of window, it would adjust. I used 900px for original calculations. I find that it only fills the window as if it is 900 px wide. So I redid the percentages based on 1500px. I've done lots of reading, Googling, and been trying all kinds of stuff and getting not too far with it. Tried px for width too, seems worse. Here is a print screen of the header: [IMG]URL[/IMG] Sigh...sorry...even img code has a url, and even though it showed in preview, I see it will not display it in actual message. The site I"m working on is shuttermaster.co (not com), where you can see what it looks like now. CSS Code Only including the code relevant to the header issue. I do have menu code in CSS, but it is not complete, and I'm not having problems with that. Code: #myHeader {width:auto;height:133px;
background:url(/photos/i-QXfPgvM/0/S/i-QXfPgvM-S.jpg) repeat-x}
#myLogo {
float:left;
width:10%;
height:150px ;
margin-left:2.22%;
display:inline;
background:url(/photos/i-sttGP6Z/1/O/i-sttGP6Z.png) no-repeat}
#myConame {
width: 15.33%;
height:90px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background:url(/photos/i-T3ZjJ8R/2/Th/i-T3ZjJ8R-Th.png) no-repeat}
#myBanner {
float:right;
width: 29.73%;
height:150px;
background:url(/photos/i-BkhSxLJ/1/Th/i-BkhSxLJ-Th.png) no-repeat}

I hope I have been clear enough. Hoping someone can point me the right direction. Regards, and thanks.... I was having some trouble centering my layout in Firefox. It looked fine in IE6 (yes... it's a pain to work in, but it's the nature of the beast when doing internal intranet stuff) when I simply used "text-align: center;" but the layout wouldn't center until I added "text-align: -moz-center;" under that (in the body style). Is this an acceptable way of doing things? Is this a flaw in Firefox or is it more likely that I'm not doing things right? (yes I know I haven't posted code, this was more a high level question of when/if "text-align: -moz-center;" should be used). I have some text in a DIV that is updated dynamically with removeChild() and appendChild(). I've tried numerous combinations but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code div.chatlayer { position: absolute; top: -50px; left: 50px; border: 1px solid black; -moz-border-radius: 10px; padding: 5px; background-color: white; min-width: 100px; width: auto; text-align: center; visibility: hidden; }
div.chatlayer {
How do I align an actual text input box to the center of the screen using css? OK, I have <h1> and a class .footer_header_link. Both should center the text. But the class code isn't being centered. I thought this would be simple, but I must be overlooking something. Here's my css: Code: h1 {
font-family:arial black;
color:#666666;
font-size:12pt;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0;
text-align:center;
}
.footer_header_link{
text-align:center;
font-family:arial black;
color:#666666;
font-size:12pt;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 0;
}
You can see a sample testhere. Scroll down the 3 column bullet point list. You will see the headers with an underline aren't centered. They have a class of "footer_header_link" Any ideas? thanks EDIT: no longer required All the text is at the top of the menus, how do i get them so they are in the center of the divs ? Code:
#navbar2 { float:right; position:relative; }
ul.menu2 { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; }
#navbar2 .leaf2 { width:70px; height:35px; float: left; display: inline; list-style-type:none; display:inline; text-align:center; color:#F7941D; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; background-color:#2E2E2E; margin-left:8px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; opacity:0.85; filter:alpha(opacity=85); }
#navbar2 li:hover, #navbar2 li.active { opacity:1; filter:none; }
#navbar2 li a { width:70px; height:35px; display:block; padding-top:3px; }
.leaf2 a { width:70px; }
Code:
<div id="navbar2">
<ul class="menu2">
<li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="home") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="." title="Home">home</a></li>
<li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item2") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="2.php" title="2">item<br>2</a></li>
<li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item3") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="3.php" title="3">item<br>3</a></li>
<li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item4") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="4.php" title="4">item4</a></li>
<li class="leaf2<? if ($activePage=="item5") {?> active<? } ?>"><a href="5.php" title="5">item5</a></li>
</ul>

BIO BIO CSS i would like for both the image and text to be centered on page-- they are just a little off.... am using FOX as primary browser -- but IE displays pretty much the same-- anyone got a fix for this??? its late and i have been over the coding a million times but just dont see the solution it right now thanks in advance! I am relatively new to using div tags - transitioning from table tag to organize pages. I want the checkboxes to be aligned to the left inside a container that is centered in the body. Currently it is all aligned to the left for some reason. The body tag has no text-align or any other css rule manually set. Code: <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid;width:400px; position: relative; clear:both;"> <div style="display: block;text-align;left;float: left;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; border: .1em solid; position: relative; clear:both;"> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="cartoon">cartoon<BR> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="comicstrips">comicstrips<BR> </div> </div> thanks. Firefox: all looks fine except the checkbox container does not appear to be inside the surrounding container - the outer container div appears as a line (it's border) at the top of the inside div with the checkboxes IE8: on a test page with nothing else - appears as Firefox. In my page with several other divs it appears with one container inside another fine, but the main container is not centered. I have looked at several tutorials about float etc but...wits end... thanks. Sorry solved problem but can somebody post a definite solution to making a body { text-align:center } style work in both IE and firefox? I would like to delete this thread but I don't know how to, as another thread answered the question somewhat ambiguously. Thanks. I know vertical-align works great on one line of text, but I can't get this script to vertically (and horizontally) center two lines of text. What do I need to do change without changing the size of the div? Code: echo '<div style="float:left;width:171px;height:96px;text-align:center;display:table-cell;vertical-align:text-middle;background-color:yellow;">'; echo '<h1 >1/35 Scale House</h1>'; echo '</div>'; im sure this may be answered somewhere on this forum inside another post, but using search, i could not find anyone who had actually asked this specific question... i found a few posts back in 2002 that never got a responce... i'd hope we'd have an answer 3 years later... anyhow, my question is quite simple... i think.. i have a div that is 50px in height, and has some text inside it.. the text aligned center, and now i want it to vAlign center.. but the CSS doesnt seem to work... my problem is that the text in that field changes quite often, and having to constantly change margins in CSS would be a pain. anyhow, now for a snippit Code:
.advertboxtitle {
margin:10px 0px 0px 110px;
height:50px;
border:1px dashed #900;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
color:#CCFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
}
.advertboxtitlevalign {
vertical-align:middle;
}
Code: <div class="advertboxtitle"> <span class="advertboxtitlevalign">From X-Box to Xbox</span> </div> anyhow, reason why it is in a span is because i read that inline elements react to vertical-align:middle... but apparently not... anyhow, here is a link.. http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/middle.htm the text needs to be align verticaly in the dashed red box. thanks Hi there, I'm making a weblog layout made in php all the articles are going to be stored on the center of the screen, the code I used for this is width:50%, but how do I make the css code so that the center page color will be all the way at the bottom no matter what size of a window is used? Thanks in advanced! Hi there, I have two font sizes: 22px and 12px. However, If I use the 2 sizes next to each other, the large pushes the smaller on down. I tried to use vertical-align: middle to center them vertically, but it didn't work. How can I center them vertically? Thanks! Hi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code:
body

Thanks very much. I'm wondering how to "vertical-align: middle" the text in the anchor tags. I haven't got that part to work. Code:
a.aMenuLinks:link
{
color: #666666;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 15px;
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
display: block;
}
Thanks... Hi, I'm using XHTML & CSS (strict dtd) and using one large table to format my pages. Within the table I have different alignments and any other sort of thing that you would find in a table. W3.org says my XHTML --AND-- CSS are VALID, so why does the main table render off to the left of the page in Netscape?? Everything within the table is great, but the table itself is not centered. I'm using CSS in the following manner to try to center it currently Code: <!-- All the doctype stuff and head tags go here...--> <body style="text-align:center"> <!-- Rest of the document --> It works greate in IE (but what doesen't), so is this the wrong attribute to use to center the documents content in Netscape. As you may know "<center>" is not defined in the XHTML strict dtd so that options out. Thanks for any help or suggestions, Kalan I'm trying to position some things inside a DIV. Here's the basic layout: What I did was put them in DIVs position them within the "parent" DIV relative to the upper left. Doesn't seem to work, so I'm doing something wrong. Image One is easy, but the text and Image Two I just don't seem to grasping. I've looked at the Floatutorial, I'm not grasping it, or the answer isn't there. Should the text block and Image Two be within a separate DIV? I'm trying to create a layout (internal to a page - in the content area) that looks like this image image image image text text text text without using tables. This works great using floats but I want the entire block of images/ text centered in the container. Currently this is just left justified which looks really bad my code Code: <div align="center"> To view the site plan, please click the image below. </div> <br> <div align="center"> <div class="lfloat"> <a href="#self#?fuseaction=ecbs.showsiteplan&selshow=#attributes.selshow#&sp=1"> <img src="siteplan/images/ecbs_01.gif" alt="Pier 66"></a><br> Bahia Mar </div> <div class="lfloat"> <a href="#self#?fuseaction=ecbs.showsiteplan&selshow=#attributes.selshow#&sp=2"> <img src="siteplan/images/ecbs_01.gif"></a><br> Pier 66 </div> <div class="lfloat"> <a href="#self#?fuseaction=ecbs.showsiteplan&selshow=#attributes.selshow#&sp=3"> <img src="siteplan/images/ecbs_01.gif"></a><br> Convention Center </div> <div class="lfloat"> <a href="#self#?fuseaction=ecbs.showsiteplan&selshow=#attributes.selshow#&sp=4"> <img src="siteplan/images/ecbs_01.gif"></a><br> Sailfish Pavilion </div> </div> lfloat just specifies float:left i am pretty new to web development, and i have a big problem which i cant seem to find a solution to.. i want to type on top of an image on my web page... the image is placed in a table and the table (the whole tag from <table> to </table> including image) has been relatively placed on the page using div tag. so how do i get around typing something ON TOP OF the image ??? for eg... on the ibm dot com homepage, on the header, on the right side, the text "united states" is placed on top of an image... i want to achieve a similar effect. please help me.. please. and any recommendation for good positioning tutorials ? i mean, the only way i am able to make text appear over images is by making a new table seperately, and using div tags and set the position as absolute, and setting the z axis to auto which lets me move the table around anywhere on the page (even on top of images) in dreamweaver... isnt there any better way of doing it ? and im sorry if this post belongs to some other area, i think his problem is css related.. im sorry ima complete noob first time on any web development forum. here is my code Code:
<div class="abovefooter">
<table width="906" height="108" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/above_footer.jpg" width="906" height="108" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="above">
<p>News Forums extreme</p>
<p> </p>
</div>
and here is the "above" and "abovefooter" css code: Code:
.above {
position: absolute;
z-index: auto;
height: 100px;
width: 930px;
left: 13px;
top: 432px;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
}
.abovefooter {
position: relative;
z-index: auto;
height: auto;
width: auto;
left: auto;
top: auto;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
}
