Is It Possible To Align Vertically Block Elements In A Fixed-height Container?	View Content

Hi!

Is it possible to align vertically block elements in a fixed-height (unknown) container?

If not, this is a serious shortcoming of the css model of placing objects on the screen.

Thanks!

Greetings,

I've set an anchor tag to display:block and have set the height to 80px. Unfortunately, it seems I am unable to move the text associated within the hyperlink to the middle (vertically) of the block. Any ideas on how this can be done?

Height Of Block Elements

Hey,

I been wondering, when using XHTML Strict, what is considered the correct way of making a block level element (like a division) and the document body fill-out/fit the browser window vertically?

The way I've been accomblishing this is by using javascript to set the height of the body when-ever the page is loaded and resized, though using something like this(of course, using document.documentElement.clientHeight for IE and using a more sane variable name for the sum of the top and bottom margins )

Code:

document.body.style.height = (window.innerHeight - sumOfTopAndBottomBodyMargins) + "px";

and and setting the block level elements css height property to 100%.

This works, but its lame! When resizing, the block level element doesn't get resized before you are done resizing and the appropriate event is fired. Not very 21th century.

So, to sum up.. can some friendly soul please enlighten me on how I can do this in a decent way using only CSS?

Cheers

Trying To Contain Elements Inside Of A 100% Height Container

Well I'm running into just a few difficulties trying to enclose a object inside of another container. The problem is that the container does not repeat the background when I lengthen the boxes within it.

Can someone with a excellent CSS eye take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've played with overflow:auto; but the problem is that I need to set the width of the container at 990px, and it doesn't seem to work if I statically set the width.

Inline Fixed Height Divs With Relatively Positioned Elements

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi, I have been puzzle for a while now working out how to do this.

I have two fixed height divs which I want to appear on the same line (inline). However to maintain the fixed height they cannot be set as display: inline; (Well that works in IE but not in Firefox).
Anyway I find out that setting one div to float left and the other to float right with another div with clear:both works fine. However when it comes to setting the position of the flash elements I want in each div element it works now in Firefox but not in IE.

I currently have:
<div id="diva">
<object id="face1" width="320" height="110">
<param name="face1" value="face1.swf">
<embed src="face1.swf" width="320" height="110">
</embed>
</object>
</div>
<div id="divb">
<object id="face2" width="320" height="110">
<param name="face2" value="face2.swf">
<embed src="face2.swf" width="320" height="110">
</embed>
</object>
</div>
<div id="clear"></div>

With the relavent css:
#div1 {
background-image : url(images/bg1.gif);
width: 381px;
height: 346px;
float: left;
text-align : center;
vertical-align : bottom;
}
#div2 {

background-image : url(images/bg2.gif);
width: 381px;
height: 346px;
float: right;
text-align: center;
vertical-align : bottom;
}
#clear { clear: both; }
img {
border: 0px;
}
#face1{

padding-top: 220px;
left: 30px;
}
#face2{
position: relative;
top: 220px;
left: 10px;
}

Effectively what I want is:
Where the divs are on the same line and are fixed height (as they have a background) and then each swf element releatively positioned inside the div...which will work in Firefox and IE!

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

how do you align vertically a radiobutton with label without using the <br> tag in css?

Code:

      <fieldset>
        <legend>Food</legend>
		<input name="Password" type="radio" id="p" value="" checked="checked" />	
        <label>HTML</label> <br />

Images Won't Align Vertically

OK, I have three images: a top, middle, and bottom that need to align vertically. It should look like a typewriter with paper coming out when said and done. You can see what's wrong at csshore(dot)com Here is the css:

#top {
background:url(images/top.gif) no-repeat;
background-position:50%;
width: 617px;
float:none;
margin:0 auto;
height: 55px;
position: relative;
}

#container {
background:url(images/middle.gif) repeat-y;
background-position:center;
width: 601px;
padding:0;
margin:0 auto;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
min-height:600px;
}

#bottom {
background:url(images/bottom.gif) no-repeat;
background-position:50%;
width: 800px;
height:485px;
margin:0 auto;
position: relative;
}

.center {
background-image:url(images/wood014.jpg);
}

And the html:

<div id="top" class="center"></div>
<div id="container" class="center">When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to through off the reigns of governement and create a new one. </div>
<div id="bottom" class="center"></div>

Ignore the failed attempt to quote the Declaration of Independence. I have tried everything I know (which admittedly is little) and I can't get them to align.

Thanks in advance.

Haslayout: Always Assign Display:inline-block To A Container?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi all

I'm stumbling over the oddities of IE's hasLayout again and again, and often I can fix it using the properties overflow:auto and display:inline-block:

Code:

div#container {
  overflow: hidden; /* For clearing floating inner elements */
  display: inline-block; /* For regarding margins of inner elements etc. */
}

(Of course I only assign the display value to IE only.)

As far as I could see so far, assigning these properties does not affect the expected behavior of the element in any negative way.

Now I thought: why not assign them to all div elements as default?

Code:

div {
  overflow: auto;
  display: inline-table;
}

I didn't test this yet, but as long as the whole website's other CSS and the whole XHTML structure are clean (speak: the elements are only used for purposes they are intended to be used), this shouldn't have any negative consequences, should it?

Thanks for your opinion,
Josh

How Do I Vertically Align Text With An Image?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I am designing this page:

theticketsguide.com/sample

Scroll down to where the text reads, "Easy Navigation." I have (more or less) managed to vertically align this text with the image next to it, but I used padding instead of a cleaner, more exact "vertical-align" function. I've tried to put

vertical-align:middle

for the text, but it doesn't do anything. Any help as to what the right solution is to this? I don't want to use padding.

Thanks,
