CSS - Vertical Text
I'm trying to get vertical text in a menu ie
h o m e - l i n k - And so on how can this be done thanks Similar TutorialsHi, 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. 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? Ok...I am dabbling with CSS and I was wondering if there was anyway to specify your text to run bottom to top instead of left to right in a table cell. Anyone know if it can be done? what is the tag for writing vertical in CSS? How do you go about vertically aligning text in a <div> tag that is 200px in height? 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. Code wise: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="left"></div> <div id="centre" class="index"></div> <div id="nav"> <ul id="tabnav"> <li><a href="index.php" class="index">Contents</a></li> <li><a href="wip.php" class="wip">In Progress</a></li> <li><a href="c-shorts.php" class="shorts">Short Stories</a></li> <li><a href="fan-fics.php" class="fanfics">Fan Fics</a></li> <li><a href="contact.php" class="contact">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="info.php" class="info">Information</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
CSS: css Code: Original - css Code #wrapper { background-color:transparent; position:absolute; left:4em; top:1em; bottom:4em; right:4em; min-height:50em; z-index:1; } #left { background-image:url(/fiction/images/left-spiral.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; background-position:right 4px; background-color:transparent; position:absolute; left:0em; top:0em; width:2em; height:100%; z-index:2; } #centre { background-image:url(/fiction/images/right-spiral.png); background-position:0px 4px; background-repeat:repeat-y; background-color:#FCFFC4; position:absolute; left:2em; right:3em; top:0px; height:100%; z-index:4; } /* --- Navigation Elements --- */ #nav { background-color:#FCFFC4; -moz-transform: rotate(90deg); -moz-transform-origin: top left; position:absolute; right:-50em; top:0em; height:3em; min-width:50em; z-index:3; } #nav ul#tabnav { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding-left:40px; height:2em; } #nav ul#tabnav li { font-variant:small-caps; float:left; /* height:21px; */ background-color:transparent; } #nav ul#tabnav a:link, #nav ul#tabnav a:visited { display:block; color:#000; background-color:#FCFFC4; text-decoration:none; margin-right:12px; padding:3px 6px 2px 6px; /* T R B L */ -moz-border-radius:10px 10px 0 0; /* TL TR BR BL */ } #nav ul#tabnav a:hover { /* background-color:#900; */ color:#666; }
(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? How exactly can i vertically align text in css, i can't seem to find an easy way to do it, i basically want my text to be in the middle of a divs height, so much easier in tables heh. Tried padding but that then adds to the height, making it pointless for this use 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;
line-height: 180px;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="top">
this is a test
</div>
</body>
</html>
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 hi. i'm trying to have some text in a div, but also i want the text align to the bottom of the div. something like. but i don't know how... have a look at http://www.desorden.net/prueba.html any ideas? thanks in advance i was looking for way how to display vertical text with css and found a solution: #vertical { writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipH flipV; } <div id="vertical">display vertical text</div> however, this works fine with IE 6.0, but is comletely ignored with Mozilla 1.4! is it that Mozilla just doesn't support this or is there a way how to work it around(write it in a way both IE and Mozilla could understand it)? i'll aprecciate your help very much.. Hey, all. Just wondering if anyone knows of a proper way to get rid of vertical space between text fields in a form. IE seems to like to have 2px in there, where other browsers will give me the desired 0px. For example:
Code: <input type='text' value='test' style='margin:0px; display:block;'> <input type='text' value='bottom' style='margin:0px; display:block;'> Gives me 2px of space between the 2 fields, but only in Internet Explorer.. Any thoughts? I have a <p> tag with text inside of it with a height of 20px and width of 100px. Horizontal text alignment works fine within in, but I want the text to sit in the middle of the tag and I just can't do it. It defaults to sitting at the top. I try vertical-align: middle, but that doesn't work. None of the the vertical aligns do anything in fact Here is my development site: http://www.pursuedbybear.com/sunwashed/ Is there any way to vertically center the links in the left hand nav inside their orange boxes without resorting to a table? I've tried vertical-align: middle and padding-top the #nav ul li a element, but neither works. I've done some searching here and the results haven't been encouraging - anyone have something different I could try? I mean really, this isn't exactly a super-complicated or obscure thing I'm trying to do, you'd think CSS could handle it. Any advice? I'm trying to implement bottom-to-top vertical text using CSS attributes in IE : writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipv fliph; But I have encountered the following: the text is displayed with a grey shadow (instead of anti-alias). It seems that the problem is caused by the "filter:flip" attribute. Does anyone have a work around? (If I write the same text without the "filter" attribute, the grey shadow disappears but my text is written top-to-bottom!) Here's my stylesheet: .verticaltext{ font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight:bold; color:#FF9100; position:absolute; top:1px; height:90px; width: 16px; writing-mode: tb-rl; filter: flipv fliph; } and here's the HTML: <div class="verticaltext">Vertical Text</div> I have also tried to use other CSS3 attributes like: block-progression: ttb; direction : rtl; but they don't seem to work in IE. Does someone know how to remove the grey shadow or know of another way to implement the bottom-to-top vertical text? 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 I have a script that shows the latest lines from my chat. sometimes people will post a super long url or another super long thing without periods ie testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something-testing-something how can I make css break that up so the browser window won't scroll vertically? Never had a reason to use this property...not sure I'm understanding it correctly. My intent was to have the the nav links sit on the baseline of the 50px height container. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! .css #toplinks { float:left; width:580px; background-color:#fffff; height: 50px; text-align:right; vertical-align:bottom;} html <div id="toplinks"> Home | Preferences | Help | Site Map | Contact Us | Log Out</div> my navbar is a <ul> and i jsut added image icons. i have two problems, the placement and the vertical centering. placement: well, i guess its best to show you the code and what i had to do to get it in place. i used position:relative and then changed the bottom, but why is it so obscure??? Code: #navbar {

vertical centering: i have looked at the tutorial, but i need serious help. i'm not trying it again, im missing something. can someone please show me how do do this? i want to center it like this... ....................................... . . . texttexttexttexttext. .image texttexttexttexttext. .----- texttexttexttexttext. . . ....................................... so both the image and text are centered but theyre floated left. actually, maybe they dont need to be floated cuz its just a word or two. look at the header for the best desc. i have tried this with my game box, and i'm clued out. i really hope sum1 can help me with this. http://www.viportals.com/ EDIT: DID IT ON MY OWN!!! THATS A FIRST!!! Code: #navbar {
text-align:center;
background-image: url('images/menu_new.GIF');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14px;
margin-top:-15px;
height:31px;
line-height:31px;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
}
#navbar ul li {
display: inline;
list-style-type:none;
}
#navbar ul li a {
padding-left: 0.3em;
padding-right: 0.3em;
padding-top: 4px;

#navbar ul li a:hover {
background-color:#495B20;

}
#navbar ul li img {
border:none;
width:24px;
height:24px;
padding-right:4px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
now i have one QUESTION: how do i get all the buttons to align center?????????? they all stay to the right oh, and not a huge deal, but the text is a couple pixels down so it brings the image down too. how can i make the text in the vertical middle? the line-height thing only worked so well. I have a td with a div inside it and I'm trying to vertically align the text in the div. The Div has a background image so the height of the div is important. For whatever reason vertical-align:middle just wont work. I've tried in both IE and FF and nothing I do seems to work. Here is my code Code: .globalNav, .globalNav td {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
height:28px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #94AEC1;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.globalDiv{
color:#fff;
width:100%;
height:28px;
background:#94AEC1 url(../images/grad_bar.gif);
background-color:#94AEC1;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.globalDiv a{
font-size:10pt;
color:#fff;
}
.globalDiv a:link,.globalDiv a:visited{
text-decoration:underline;
}
.globalDiv a:hover{
text-decoration:none;
}
