CSS - Vertical-align Content With Unknown Height
Hey,
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a solution and there seems to be none just quite yet. I've searched google and all sorts of help forums... and still zip, nothing. What I want to do is vertically-align the text in this example: http://www.tri-m.com/test.html in the middle of the white space. The problem though is that there is an unknown height of the whitespace because I want it to be that no matter what size you size the window, the content will always be vertically aligned... so I'm pretty stuck on how to do this. I'm needing the solution for this desperatly and I have been searching and trying everything for weeks. If anyone could help that would be VERY VERY apperciated. Thank you sooo much to everyone that tries this out. Once again here is the Example: http://www.tri-m.com/test.html Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

- Jacenta Similar TutorialsPlease look at the carousel at the bottom of this page - www.mts-diesel.com What I would ultimately like to do is have it such that each image is vertically centered in the yellow box? Can this be done w/out use of a table cell? Thanks. Tom There are floods of threads pertaining to vertical aligning so I hope i'm not assaulted for asking this How would I go about vertically align content inside of a floating div with a fixed width and height. This is what I have so far. http://section31.us/temp/gallery/images.htm I obviously would like to have those images vertically aligned, can anyone help? I cannot figure this out. I've tried adding clear: both in several places, I've tried overflow: hidden and I've tried cursing. Nothing works! How can this be fixed so that in IE6 the divs are not staggered vertically?? Code: <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="38" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;">copy</a><br>copy</a></div> </div> <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="19" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="8" border="0"></div> </div> Hi, 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 guys, I have a small problem which is driving me crazy. I have a main container with two containers inside named left and right. I want a border on the main container, but i do not know the height of the main container as this will depend on the content in 'left' and 'right'. So what should I set the height of the main container to? I've tried 100% but this does not work and if I omit the geight property the main container does not show up. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Rob. the contents of a div have an undetermined size, it varies. I need to vertically center it as well as horizontally, which I can do the latter of. I can't use padding or margins because I don't know the size. How do I do this? for example if there is a container div which holds an inner div, if i want the content of the inner div to appear exactly at the bottom edge of the inner div i have used the following code, #outer{ position: relative; float: left; width: 900px; height: 200px; } #outer .inner{ position: relative; float: left; width: 500px; height: 200px; vertical-align: bottom; } however the content of the inner div is starting at its default location which is top left of the inner div instead of using margin-top or padding-top, or positioning methods for the inner div to position the content at the bottom edge can the vertical-align: bottom; be used as this will be very accurate placed at the bottom edge even if the content increases the content will always appear at the bottom edge, unlike other methods where the margin-top, padding-top, and positioning, these values will have to be changed whenever content increases or decreases. please advice. thanks. Hello to all of you, I am doing my first steps in respect to CSS programming and wonder if I can get some hint here. I have created a table, with two different line colors, and a changing line background color with hover. Basically everything works as expected - just the vertical-align command does not respond at all. Am I doing something wrong? What could be the reason, and how can I continue investigating? I am using the CSS stylesheet, in connection with a Joomla 1.5 CMS. Please see the code below: Code: table.general {
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.general th {
text-align: center;
font-size: 15px;
color: white;
font-style:bold;
height: 30px;
background-color:#95B3D7;
border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;
}
table.general tr.row1 {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
table.general tr.row2 {
background-color: #e0e0e0;
}
table.general tr.row1:hover {
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
table.general tr.row2:hover {
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
table.general td {
border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;
padding: 4px;
}
The classes are being used in the following form: Code: <table style="width: 320px;" class="general"> <col span="4" width="80"></col> <tbody> <tr> <th>head A</th> <th>head B</th> <th>head C</th> <th>Alface</th> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>Topic A</td> <td>65</td> <td>215</td> <td>35</td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td>Topic B</td> <td>2</td> <td>2,3</td> <td>1,2</td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>Topic C</td> <td>68</td> <td>55</td> <td>13</td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td>Topic D</td> <td>44</td> <td>50</td> <td>33</td> </tr> <tr class="row1"> <td>etc.</td> <td>494</td> <td>611</td> <td>238</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Thank you in advance for your kindness! What I'm trying to do... I have some navigation links, a few pictures, and someone's name on the left hand side of the page. I want everything except for the name to be at the top.... the name is to be at the bottom. Is there a specific way to accomplish this? The content area will generally extend as high as 600 or so px, so would like the name to appear at the very bottom lined up with the content box. Thanks. Not sure exactly what code you need to see, but here's the left hand column: CSS: Code:
body {width:770px;
height:100%;
}
.nav_links {vertical-align:top; width:150px; }
.nav_links a{display:block; border-top:1px solid black; text-decoration:none;}

Pictures (Left Column)--> <div> <div style="float:right;"> <img src="images/left_pic_1.jpg" alt="Pic1" style="width:50px; margin-bottom:10px;" /><br /> <img src="images/left_pic_2.jpg" alt="Pic2" style="width:50px;" /> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"> <div style="float:right;"> <img src="images/left_pic_3.jpg" alt="Pic3" style=" width:50px; margin-bottom:10px;" /><br /> <img src="images/left_pic_4.jpg" alt="Pic4" style="width:50px;" /> </div> </div> <!-- End Misc.

Greets, dabomb_gent Is not working for me, or I'm not using it right. Here is my problem: http://www.kingtoad.net/development/kingtoad.net/ I want the "navigation" to align to the top even with the "content". I can't seem to get it up there though. Any suggestions would be nice. Hi, I am trying to use the vertical-align property to make some text appear in the middle of a div (set float:left). However it is not working. Following is some sample code I have done for testing: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>

width:16.7em;
height:6.8em;
border:1px solid black;
vertical-align:middle;
float:left;
}
</style>

Is this possible? Thanks and Regards, Sim085 I'm trying to put a line of text on the bottom of a box. Code: <div style="width:500px;height:500px;background:black;vertical-align:bottom;"> This is a black box </div> <div style="width:500px;height:500px;background:black;vertical-align:baseline;"> This is a black box </div> What the above code displays: Code: ------------------------- | This is a black box | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------------------- What I want it to display: Code: ------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a black box | ------------------------- I think this is a pretty basic css question... How do you get an image to vertically align to the top? I've tried "vertical-align: top;" but no dice. Here's where I want to apply this: http://www.ergopro.com See, I want the credit card image (up top) to vertically align to the top, flush with the TrustWave logo. How is this done? Much thanks in advance! I've got an image that is 75px high. Right beside it, I have a H1. I want to vertically align the H1 in the middle of the image. Vertical align doesn't work, and for some reason, setting the line height to the height of the image doesn't work either. Hi, I'm trying to vertically align an element in my layout which is xhtml strict but it's not working. Here's the page: http://www.valeit.com/ben/test.htm The text should be vertically aligned in the middle of the layout but I can't seem to work it out. All the CSS is on the page - can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks Kevin I know a lot of people have made posts about vertical aligning but nearly all were involving text. I'm trying to vertically align a small image, but every time i do it within the img tag it screws up the adjacent text on IE and only IE. I know it has to do with how vertical align is supposed to be used, specific blocks or inline or something. How would I go about vertically aligning that small arrow image on the top properly. http://chics.onivertneb.com/align.htm Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have an image that I want to place in the middle of a contaier. I have <center></center> around the <img /> tag, but I can't get it to center vertically with the css below. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Brad CSS: Code: img.contentimg {
vertical-align: middle;
}
HTML: Code: <div class="textbox1"><center><img class="contentimg" src="images/house1.jpg" /></center></div> |
