CSS - Centering Divs Inside Other Divs In Firefox?
Centering 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.
Similar TutorialsHere'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? 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!! 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 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. 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... 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 Basically, #bodycont has a background. When I type text into this div, it expands and the background is show. However when I put the divs menu and news into it the background doesn't show. I've had this problem before but I can't remember how to fix it html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="bodycont"> <div id="menu"> <img src="imgs/menutop.png" /> </div> <div id="news"> wefwef </div> </div>
css Code: Original - css Code #bodycont { background-image:url(../imgs/background.jpg); width:100%; height:auto; } #menu { width:245px; float:left; } #news{ width:545px; height:auto; float:right; }
I'm trying to place some content inside a main "box", and I can't seem to get the length of the "box" div to expand to fit the content inside it. It seems like the DIVs inside aren't actually inside it. The only way I can make it fit is if i actually specify a "height" on the first DIV. <div style="width:700px; background-color:#000000; border-width:.1em; border-style:solid; padding:2em; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-top:2em; border-color:#999999; height:1000px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#FFFFFF;"> <div style="width:300px; float:left; margin:2em; clear:both;"><center><img src="../images/halihomeless.jpg" /></center> <br /><center><img src="../images/luvhali.jpg" /><br /> <div style="width:250px; margin-top:1em; background-color:#121212; padding:.5em; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em; text-align:justify;">placeholder text </div> </div> <div style="width:300px; float:right;margin:2em;"><center><img src="../images/haitihomeless.jpg" /></center> <br /><center><img src="../images/luvhaiti.jpg" /> <div style="width:250px; margin-top:1em; background-color:#121212; padding:.5em; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em; text-align:justify;">placeholder text </div> </div> <div style="float:right; width:650px; margin-bottom:2em; right:52px; top:15px; padding:2em; color:#CCCCCC; font-size:10px;">IMAGE" align="right" border="0" / ></a><p>luvHALI and luvHAITI are ministries of Deep Water Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.</p><p>To donate to either project, please visit <a href="placeholderforcanadagives">Canada Gives</a>.</p><p>If you wish, you can visit Deep Water Church</a> for more information about who we are.</p><p>1657 Barrington Street | Suite 536 | Halifax, NS, Canada | B3J 2A1 | 902.880.4266</p></div> </div> Thanks so much for any help! Robin Hi I have a problem with tables and divs consider this table and divs: <TABLE> <TR> <TD> <DIV STYLE='hieght:30px'> text </DIV> <DIV STYLE='position:relative;top:-30px;height:30px'> text </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> if I don't put position:relative;top:-30px; inside the second div the height of table would be around 60px (you say) as expected but when I put position:relative;top:-30px;, I would expected to have my table shrinks to 30px not the same 60px because I put two divs on the top of each other. Obviously for one reason or another my assumption isn't correct. So how do I amend the code to get a correct height of table? Perhaps I can use tables in this way? I'm trying to vertically align two divs inside a table cell. I have the cell's vertical-align property set to text-top because I want the first div to be aligned at the top of the td but I can't, no matter what I try, get the second div to align to the bottom. Is there a better way to accomplish this without nesting tables or is this the right way and I'm just missing something? I need to know what attributes to give to my container div in order for this to work correctly. I have a div and within it are many floating divs, each that contain an image thumbnail and caption. I do it this way so the images fit on the page dynamically and it works great. Unfortunately the container div does not wrap around the height of the images. This causes content that should appear below the images to show up behind them. How do I make the container div actually stretch around all the child divs? here is a code sample Code: <div style="border: 1px solid blue; width: 100%; display : inline;"> <div style="float: left; margin: 2px; height: 150px;"><a href="/images/media/182_YachtClub_0003.jpg" rel="lightbox[post182]" title=" size 84k"><img border="1" src="/images/media/thumbs/182_YachtClub_0003.jpg" alt="" /></a><br/></div> <div style="float: left;

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>

Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Hi folks, I hope this is achieveable ... I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... I have a blog and I want to put my text inside a border/wrapper. So I've made the border and sliced it up into 3 parts: top middle and bottom. I want to place the text content within the middle of this graphic and so I figure I need to make the sliced images as a background using css and then type whatever I want over it. So I did this but dont know what Im doing wrong: Code:
<style type="text/css">
top {background: url('/images/t1.gif') ;}
middle {background: url('/images/t2.gif') ;}
bottom {background: url('/images/t3.gif') ;}
</style>
<div class="top" id="top"></div>
<div class="mid" id="mid">
<div class="content" id="content">Content Goes Here</div>
</div>
<div class="bottom" id="bottom"></div>
Any help is appreciated. JH I'm having a layout problem in firefox. In IE the layout is just how it should look, but in firefox, the dynamic links on the left side overlap (one halfway on top of the next) and the top div is messed up as well. If I add an extra line break after each menu item, it works out in firefox, but is too spread out in IE. Anyone out there have any ideas? the site is at: http://meganmumford.com the css is at: http://meganmumford.com/megan_css.css |
