CSS - Centering Divs Horazontally And Virtically...
Are there any recommended techniques for centering a DIV in a page regardless of the screen size?
I'd like to have an image centered on the page, and several images positioned over it. I envision the main image and the other images positioned relative to the top left of the main DIV, which is always centered on the page... Similar TutorialsCentering 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. hello geniuses. I know this is likely a very silly question. I am a designer looking to move closer to the 21st century of web development. how do I keep a group of divs generated in the form of a page as I have set up at: http://greentypeoftube.com/div/home1.html basically I want the whole group to be centered regardless of browser window. I've tried a bunch of things, including putting it all in a container, but it just bleeds over. please to help me someone, I appear to be obsessed and am not performing my duties here chained to the desk. - I have another question which may be better separated to another ? but I'll also add it here just in case someone knows both answers... in this same situation, is there a way to allow for the content window to automatically place scrollbars such as if I used an I-frame? thankyou for the genius of help. p I'm having a little problem with centering divs: I have a dynamic page that displays items. Each item has it's own div containing an image and a title. I want these divs to be centered but also to drop onto multiple lines if necessary, for example: There is room for 4 items per row within the container div, so one item would be centered, two items would be centered, and so on, but 5 items would have 4 divs on the top row and one div centered underneath: 1 item: [div] 2 items: [div][div] 4 items: [div][div][div][div] 5 items: [div][div][div][div] [div] 10 items: [div][div][div][div] [div][div][div][div] [div][div] and so on. I can get this to work by using float to automatically drop the next 4 onto the next row, but is there a 'center' attribute or technique I could use to keeps these divs centered? I hope this makes sense to you all!! I'm trying to create a gallery, composed of an image and description divs (like so); pic1 What I want is to wrap these divs with a bordered div, that will accomodate as many of them per row as will fit the width of the browser, but also centering the wrapper like thus examples: pic2 This is what I have so far: Code:

Some help on this, would be very much appreciated. 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 Is there any way to center a <div> block itself, not the text in it? Using this code:
Code: #block{
padding:2px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width: 480px;
}
(which I am currently using) centers it in Firefox, but not IE. Also the code which adds a rollover effect to the links in the menu works in Firefox but not IE. Code: #menu li:hover{
background-color:#369;
}
The site's current URL is here, because my webhost's disk is full, and they are having problems with PHP scripts not working. Having an odd rendering problem involving centering content in a fixed-width right hand column that lies within a fixed width centered master content div. Take a look at the template he http://www.ipfwcommunicator.org/devindex.php At first I tried to center the content using align="center" in the HTML markup, which I know is a no-no, so I'm not too sad it didn't work. I then tried {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}, thinking it would work in IE as it does with tables, but it did not. Both of these attempts worked worked with most modern browsers (Moz/Firefox/Safari/NN7) but failed on MSIE5/Mac and IE6/Win. Nice and compliant, and I would be happy in a perfect world, but alas, 90% of my readers use a (vastly) imperfect browser. I decided to get a bit more professional and utilize CSS positioning, setting the DIVs that hold the content boxes (i.e., Weather/Search/etc.) as {position: relative; left: 15px;}This also worked in most browsers, but oddly enough on IE5 Mac (and assume IE6 win although I didn't have a chance to test) the boxes centered but the tables inside the weather/search boxes that allow for cross-platform formating jutted out the side. Lastly, and this is the current solution, since the column is fixed width and the boxes are fixed width, I used the "ice" solution of dividing the remaining margin by two, and setting margin-left: equal to that. In this case: {margin-left: 15px;} Oddly enough this works FINE on everything, even IE5/Mac, but doesn't work on IE6/Windows, which instead results in what appears to be 5 or 6px more than the defined 15px. Compare here between Firefox and IE6 and you'll see it. And CSS is here So the question: What IS the best way to center up those boxes in that column? This is my first major CSS undertaking, having worked with nested tables up until now, so any pointers on my bad markup will be gladly accepted Thanks in advance, Aiden Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. 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;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
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? The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Alright, I've been working on my own custom border box for a while and I've almost got it, but it has a few problems still. How I do it is I have one div that contains it all (.box) that defines the height and width of the whole box. Then I have three boxRows to lay out the images, and then I define how three cells in each of those rows should behave, very much like how custom borders used to be done with tables. Here are the problems: In both firefox and internet explorer, the bottom row and the far right column actually appear OUTSIDE the .box containing box. There are two additional problems in internet explorer. First, the middle row handles the auto height differently and only expands about 10px instead of the height of the containing box. The second is that the whole middle row for some reason appears to be pushed to the right by about 16px. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code: HTML: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testBox.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <div class="boxRowTop"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowMiddle"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowBottom"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> </body> </html> And here is the layout css file: Code: /* Box classes */
.box {
background: rgb(120,120,120);
height: 200px;
width: 500px;
}
.boxRowTop {
height: 16px;
position: relative;
width:%100;
}
.boxRowMiddle {
height: auto;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxRowBottom {
height: 16px;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxCellLeft {
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
.boxCellMiddle {
height: 100%;
margin-left: 16px;
margin-right: 16px;
width: auto;
}
.boxCellRight {
height: 100%;
left: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
/* Define Cell Backgrounds/Images */
.boxRowTop .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/topleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/top_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/topright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/left_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellMiddle {
background: rgb(255,255,255);
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/right_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottom_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
And last, the reset CSS, which I don't think has anything to do with the problems because if I take it out it still has them. Code: html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,

fieldset, form, label, legend, caption

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I've been working on this for a while! Thanks! Hey. I'm having issues with getting my page to center in IE7 using margin: auto; It works fine in firefox. The page is at http://jbench.co.uk:81/. The CSS is at http://jbench.co.uk:81/css/css.php . The section where i think the problem is: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #page { width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 14px 3px; min-height: 250px; font-size: 1.2em; }

Any help's appreciated. http://www.stevemedleyphotography.com/tempo/index.html What I am trying to do is make it so that the blue background is as it is already but the orange box is the full width of the window despite what resolution or window size the user has, and also is centered on the screen. -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -----ORANGE------- -----ORANGE------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- Like that. I will be having some stuff within the orange div. I don't really know much CSS at all and am kinda guessing my way through it... poorly... Thanks for any help. Good day to you all, I'm working on a pop up css box. My problem is that I can't make it to be centered. Here is my code : PHP Code: echo "<a onmouseover=\"this.style.cursor='pointer'\" onfocus=\"this.blur();\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('$namess').style.display = 'block' \" >\r"; echo "<span><img src=\"http://ponder.peuplies.info/V_0-1/Art/".$imgdir."".$img."\" width=\"50\" border=\"0\" title=\"".$img."\" alt=\"".$img."\" /></span></a>\r"; echo "<div id=\"$namess\" align=\"center\" style='display: none; position: absolute; margin: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: solid black 1px; padding: 10px; background-color: rgb(255,255,225); text-align: justify; color:#000000; font-size: 12px; '>\r"; echo "This is a CSS Popup that can be positioned anywhere you want on the page and can contain any test and images you want.\r"; echo "<img src=\"http://test.com/Art/".$imgdir."".$img."\" width=\"50\" border=\"0\" title=\"".$img."\" alt=\"".$img."\" />"; echo "<br />\r"; echo "<div style='text-align: right;'><a onmouseover='this.style.cursor=\"pointer\" ' style='font-size: 12px;' onfocus='this.blur();' onclick=\"document.getElementById('$namess').style.display = 'none' \" ><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color:#000000;\">Close</span></a></div>\r"; echo "</div>\r"; Can somebody help me ? Hi, I'm trying to design a web page and I want to center all the content (including the background), and have another background behind all of that. I can't figure out how to center everything. When I put a <div> around all the content and center it in CSS, only certain elements(some graphical buttons) get centered while all of the text stays lined up to the left. Any ideas? I'm sure I'm making a really silly mistake. This list is a navigation bar that displays tabs horizontally. I can't seem to figure out what properties I need to use to center it correctly. I have 2 problems: 1. How can I get these list items centered? 2. the second level seems to have problems displaying horizontally in IE. How can I fix it? Code: <div id="tablenavcontainer">
<div id="navcontainer">
