CSS - Vertically Aligning An Image
Hi,
Just upgraded my monitor and am now operating on a 1280*1024 resolution. Previous website I have built have been for 1024*768 resolutions. Problem is now that some of my images are placed at the top of the screen when I want them in the middle... not with a load of blank space beneath them. I want the blank space equally around them. Anyway, I'm specifically talking about the website I have: http://www.atari-music.co.uk The front and home-pages suffer from this problem when viewed on > 1024*768 resolutions. I have attempted to fix the problem (though it is not in the code for the on-line version) by putting this into the style sheet:- IMG.middle { vertical-align: middle; } In the HTML for the image map I have:- <IMG class="middle" src="images/home.jpg" height="570" width="760" alt="ATARI - The Official Website" border="0" usemap="#siteMap"/> Am I not referencing the CSS code correctly? The image is still sitting, vertically aligned to the top. Cheers, Rob. Similar TutorialsI need the text "world leaders in spirometry" to be on the same base line as the text in the logo image for Vitalograph to the left of it. This is what I want it to look like image link This is what does look like web page link Here is the CSS css link How can I get abosolute vertical placement of the text best for firefox and IE? I know I could put the tage into the logo as one image, but for SEO I would like to have the text there if possible. Thanks! Hi Guys, I'm trying to align some text along an image. The problem is, I want two lines of text to the right of the image, aligned to the top. If I put a <BR> tag between the two lines, the second line gets placed below the image. Here's what I have so far. img.top {vertical-align:text-top;} <a href="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> <img class="top" src="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> </a> <a href="company.com">sample text</a> <a href="company.com">second line</a> Any ideas? I've tried like every switch for the vertical-align property... Hi, I am trying to achieve a layout which uses unordered lists. Within the LI, there is an image and some text. The images are all different heights though. The issue i'm having at the moment is how can I make the text vertically align within the LI? Keep in mind that I can't put a height on as each image changes height. And these lists will be generated dynamically probably - so I don't really want to specify individual heights for each one... To make it even more difficult, the text may end up spanning onto two lines at some stage if i have to enter a larger description - so that also needs to be kept in mind. I've been looking around all morning for examples of how to do this and I can't find anything - so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here is what I'm trying to achieve: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/final_look.gif Here is the HTML at present: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/ And the CSS: http://www.joshsphotos.com/user_interface/css/style.css Thanks! I started out working out a page thinking this *should* do what I want and lo and behold it did work in IE6 http://www.fogcat.co.uk/example/test002.html But when looking at Firefox it goes all odd. If you remove all the internal "imagediv" div from the "imagechunk" div it nearly works but doesn't algin the "link text" like IE. I'm told that display:inline-block is not properly supported, which is probably the root of my problems. What I want a set of divs down the page (the "imagedivs") Each div will contain An image - but that image will be nested inside a div - it's returned that way from a php function. Images may be of varying height so I can't use pixel values at top margins or anything like that. A link to another page The link should be positioned to the right of the image and aligned vertically with the centre of the image. This is one of those things that's a doddle with tables, but I'm trying to train myself to think CSS. What obvious thing am I over looking? Code: +--------------------------------------+ | +----------------+ | | | .............. | | --- <div> | | : : | | ... <img> | | : : | Link here | | | : : | | | | .............. | | | +----------------+ | +--------------------------------------+ +--------------------------------------+ | +----------------+ | | | .............. | | | | : : | | | | : : | Link here | | | : : | | | | .............. | | | +----------------+ | +--------------------------------------+ So I'm still on my quest to be able to create my 1st entirely CSS site, and need some help as I'm not sure how to do this. I want to be able to align a navigation list at the bottom right of the content area. Also while I'm at it, I want the site to be at a minimum 462px (just an example), but would like for it to increase in height if the content itself expands beyond the 462. And the navigation menu, I'd like to somehow keep at the bottom right of the viewable area. Thanks... here's the code...

I have a navigation bar that contains four images (side by side) as well as three text links. They all live within a <div> with the following properties: #gNav { width:768px; height:19px; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle; } i need for the three text links to line up directly in the middle (vertically) of that <div>. To achieve this in IE6 and NN+, I attach the following style to the text. .nookum { font-size:.9em; vertical-align: 25%; color:#FFFFFF; } I just learned that the vertical-align property is not recognized by IE5 and IE5.5, so in those versions, the text aligns at the bottom of the <div>. Anyone know of any workarounds or other methods of vertically aligning text that will work in these two versions of IE? Hi guys, I am trying to display two forms with several elements on a page. I would like to place the two forms on the webpage so that one is displayed on the left and the other on the right of the screen. Something like this URL http://craigbaldwin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/52.jpg I have written the following test and the forms are placed correctly inside the left and right divs. Code:

A couple of problems with the above. 1. In Internet explorer the divs are aligned correctly but in firefox it gets all messy. 2. As long as the window is maximised then i the divs are aligned vertically correctly. If i resize the browser window then they are no longer aligned vertically. Is there a way to make them always next to each other from left to right even if the window is resized? (try resizing the window for the example i showed above) Thanks At http://www.rietgors.tudelft.nl/combo/ you can see what I'm trying to do. I'd like the two elements to have either the same top or bottom, or have both elements centered vertically in the enclosing DIV. Can this be done using just CSS? I'm wworking on a CSS template and I'm trying to vertically align two divs.... one on top of the other with a five pixel margin between the two.... However, unless I use a bunch of HTML breaks (which will result in an uneven template), I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried to vertical-align them and etc. Any help is appreciated. Oh, I know my code could be a bit more clean, this is just a comp. I've also tested this on FF so far. I doubt IE will return favourable results either. My example: www.efacln.com/Untitled-1.html My CSS code: Code:
#container
{
MARGIN: 5px;
}
#header_container
{
border-color: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: thin;
BORDER-LEFT: none;
BORDER-RIGHT: none;
WIDTH: 100%;
}
#header_content
{
BORDER-COLOR: black;
BORDER-STYLE: solid;
BORDER-WIDTH: thin;
BORDER-TOP: none;

I have #sidebar on my website and within the sidebar which contains two smaller divs (Calender and Archive) inside it which are styled by #sidebar div When I put these two divs in, Calender wasn't where I wanted it to be, at the very top of the sidebar. It was a few pixels lower. To fix I went to #sidebar div and changed the top margin to -1px and now it's at the very top. Is this a sensible fix? I've checked in Chrome 2.0, Safari 4.0, Firefox 3.5 and IE 8 and it looks to be OK but there's a nagging feeling in my head that I shouldn't have needed to do this.

If someone could take a look that would be great. I've commented it up for you so you should be able to find the divs easily. The code has been verified. I'm not a great web designer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm learning as I go along so hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me out. How would I center an image vertically in a div that has varying height? Normally I would set a line-height and then a vertical-align but the container is of varying size dependent on content . The only way I can think of is to make the image a background and do background-position: center center; Is that the only workaround? Using CSS, is it possible to vertically align centrally text to an image as you can using tables? A simple example using a table would be <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td><img border="0" src="image.gif" width="609"height="115"></td> <td valign="middle">Ray did this</td> </tr> </table> Using CSS so far I've got... <p><img class="imglft" border="0" src="img.jpg" width="434" height="400" alt="my image">Ray did this> The CSS for imglft is... .imglft{ float: left; margin-right: 30px; } I've tried putting the whole lot in a DIV and using text-align: middle and vertical-align: middle but that doesn't work. You can see what I mean by comparing http://brisray.com/grad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/grad.htm with http://brisray.com/ray/rgrad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/ray/rgrad.htm Ray 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, Brandon I'm trying to position the image below vertically center and horizontally left to no avail. Its horizontally left but centers the top of the image in the center of the page. What am I doing wrong? <DIV style="position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 0px; border: none"><img src="images/right.jpg"></img></DIV> I am trying to put labels below images on my new site design. See: www.jwsuretybonds*com/jw09 I figured out how to get them vertically aligned, but I am having problems with the horizontal, as when I change the browser size, they move. Here is one of the examples: Code:
#homepage-bar h2.construction {
position:fixed;
top:225px;
left:505px;
}
I tried changing to position: absolute; I also tried to use percentages on the left: I know this is easy, but I can't find the fix after googling for 30 minutes. Help! Hi Guys, I am having trouble working out how to line up the hover background image with the background image for a mouseover effect. It is currently putting the hover BG image ''x.gif' over the text instead of in the same position as 'bullet.gif' HTML ---------- <div id="vertmenu"> <ul> <li><a href="#" tabindex="1">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="2">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="3">Computing</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="4">Web Sites</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="5">Games</a></li> <li><a href="#" tabindex="6">Links</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS ---------- PHP Code: #navcontainer ul { list-style-type: none; text-align: left; } #navcontainer ul li a { background: transparent url(images/bullet.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left: 15px; text-align: left; font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; color:#33CC00; font-weight:bold; text-decoration: none; color: #999; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { background: transparent url(images/x.gif) left center no-repeat; color: black; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } #navcontainer ul li a#current { background: transparent url(images/x.gif) left center no-repeat; color: #666; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FF9933; } I currently have been trying to align an h1 tag over top of a css background image. I have tried a whole bunch of things but have returned the code back to its most basic form My external css div looks as follows: #content_funny{ width: 315px; height: 51px; background-image:url(images/funnyvideos1.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; float:left; clear:left; margin:0px 0px 0px 0; display:inline; } My index file is as follows <div id="content_header"><div id="content_funny"><a href="http://www.tokenhumor.com/categories/7/funny_videos.html"><h1>Funny Videos</h1></a></div> For some reason the text in its natural state is laying differently for IE and FF, preventing me from using any positioning lines within my external style sheet. Any help with this is much appreciated, I m pulling my hair out I have a logo and would like to align an H1 and an H2 beside it. So, I would have: Code:
| H1 text
image|
| H2 text
If I add a display inline to both elements, I get the H2 beside the H1 instead of under. If I add it to only the H1, I get the H1 beside the image, and the H2 under the image. What would be the proper way to do this? Wasn't sure if this was a CSS issue or an issue with the HTML. I am not using a DOCTYPE declaration, so that may also be the issue. I have a portion of a page where I want an image to appear. It is a static image that sits in between 2 scripts. When placed, in both IE and Firefox, there is a 1-2px white space between it and the next TD. The original code was like this: Code: <td width="144"> <SCRIPT> write_minorlinks_xml() </SCRIPT> <img src="images/site/database.gif"/> <SCRIPT> write_dblinks_xml() </SCRIPT> </td> Which makes it appear as this in either browser: I added a div into there so now it reads: Code: <div class="db"><img src="images/site/database.gif"/></div> Stats as follows: image width = 144px I've tried changing the TD, Table and Image attributes both in the CSS and in the HTML itself. No change. It is also important to show what the scripts do. You can't view it in the source but if you could, it would show up like this: Code: <td width="144"> <TABLE class="links" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <TR><TD class="minor_link"><span class="minor_link"> <a href="url" target="_top">name</a></span> </tr></td></table> <img src="images/site/database.gif"/> // </td> Also to note, the XML in the script name is in the name only. And the class "minor_link" does not exist. I am thinking that the extra space could be because of the code the scipts put in there. However, Since putting the image code into a div, I changed the background color to #FF7A7A (which is the pink color of the trailing edge of the image, which matches the border to the right of it.) As a result, Firefox now displays it as: Which is fine for cheating sake, but it still displays as the first image in IE. Here is the portion of the CSS that concerns the div (which has made no change in either IE or Firefox) Code: div.db
{
background-color: #FF7A7A;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. |
