CSS - Positioning Elements Inside Cells (top Left Bottom Right)
Similar TutorialsHow do i layout elements within a div without effecting everything outside the container div? this has been frustrating me, everything on the page seems to get effected. i want the div (question) and the div (answer) next to each other..... i thought position:relative does this since it changes position from the container div. The below code has the div(answer) below the div(question). I put top:0px; and position:relative assuming they both start at the top of the container div. Code: <div id="adult"> <?php echo "<ul><li>test1</li></ul>"; ?> </div> <div id="qanda"> <?php echo " <div id='questions'> <ul id='questionsul'> <li><font color='#FFFFFF' face='Century Gothic' size='5px'>QUESTION</font><font color='#FFFFFF' face='Arial' size='5px'>?</font></li> </ul> </div> <div id='answers'> <ul id='answersul'> <li><font color='#D99C29' face='Century Gothic' size='5px'><a href='answer.php?id=1&search=$search' style='text-decoration:none' class='Options6'>Answer</a></font></li> </ul> </div> "; ?> </div> <div id="amount""> <?php echo "<ul><li>test3</li></ul>";; ?> </div> <div id="results"> <?php echo "<ul><li>test4</li></ul>"; ?> </div> <div id="contributing"> <?php echo "<ul><li>test5</li></ul>"; ?> </div> <div id="advert"> <?php echo "<ul><li>test6</li></ul>"; ?> </div> </div></div> CSS Code:
#questions{
position:relative;
top:0px;
text-align:left;
}
#answers{
position:relative;
top:0px;
text-align:right;
}
#adult{
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#qanda {
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#amount {
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#results {
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#contributing {
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#advert {
width:700px;
margin:0 auto;
}
In this sample code, I would like the form to actually be positioned befor the things that follow it in the code, but I just can't figure out how to do this. The document I want to use it on will not be 100% CSS, and maybe even inside a table. How might this be done? You can see the code in action HERE. Code:

is there a problem with placing div tags inside table cells. I have a need to do this and it works fine on my FF3 and IE7 but i am told this is bad practice. is there a problem and/or workaround to using div tags inside a table cell Hi I'm trying to figure out how to postion an Image at the bottom left of a <DIV> container. Can someone supply an example style class defintion which will place an Image at the bottom left of the div container.. I presently have: <div> <h2>Heading 2</h2> <p>My paragraph text goes here and goes on for a line or so</p> <img class="bottomleft" src="button.gif" alt="button" /> </div> .bottomleft { position: relative; bottom: 0px left: 0px } But this places the Image relative to the end of the <p> tag not relative to the <div> How can I position the Image relative to the botom left of <div> tag? Thanks David Ok I have two layers positioned on the bottom left and right of my page as you can see here.. The problem is when I resize the page the two layers move up with it and then if I use the scroll wheel they dont go back to the bottom and they stay where they are. Anyone know how I can get it so if I were to resize the page the two elements would stay at the bottom. I tried that footer demo that everyone posts the link for but I couldnt get it to work for the case I have. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks , appreciate any help you can give me. Hello, My first CSS site was going fine; I was learning as I went and drawing from different resources. My code and CSS probably isn't very pretty ( I validated it, I know it needs to be cleaned up) but things were working. Then I went back and made some adjustments concerning the widths of my column divs. Now I find that Firefox is respecting the rightcolumn div (specifically: <div id="contentright">)but IE keeps kicking it to the bottom left. I've tried messing with the column lengths so everything fits accordingly as specified in the frame div width. Can anyone please take a look and offer a suggestion? thanks. http://www.brinjac.com/test/binnspark.html Hi, I'm trying to do something that is simple with table cells but which I'm finding difficult using CSS. Basically I have a container div that is 400px height. I want to position 3 divs in a row (float: left) at the bottom of that div and put an image in each of them. So, in short... <div id="outer"> <div id="inner1"><img src="x.jpg" /></div> <div id="inner2"><img src="y.jpg" /></div> <div id="inner3"><img src="z.jpg" /></div> </div> ...where the three images are bottom aligned. I want to have the images in their own div containers so that I can give each of their boxes 33% of the screen width and set apdding if required. No doubt I'm approaching this the wrong way. Can anyone help? Thanks, Pat I am a bit new to CSS and am currently in the process of converting a design over to CSS2 and have run into come difficulty. I've created a list based horizontal menu and I want elements to align to both the left and right ends. Simply by adding "float:left" to most of the elements and "float: right" to others, I was able to get it to work, but strangely only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. The latter seems to drop my right aligned image onto the next line. For the offending code, please see: http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/top_menu_v1.html http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/css/right_menu_v1.css Also, any suggestions on the code would be highly appreciated. I have no doubt its more verbose than needed. Hey, Why does this look different in IE and in Firefox? Code: <html><body>
<div style="float:left;border:3px solid green;">Left div</div>
<div style="width:200px;border:8px solid black;">Right div</div>
</bodY></html>
In FF, the right div's border starts at the same place as the left div's border. In IE, the right div's border starts to the right of the left div. Thanks in advance... I'm new here so Hello guys! I have a problem with CSS - its probably really simplistic but i've been searching for ages and cant figure it out! I have a long narrow DIV which is a header, then a much smaller DIV which is a small square picture. What i want is for the small picture to fit as tightly into the bottom left hand corner as possible. I've tried this: Code: Float:left; postion:absolute; bottom:0px; but as i'm sure u can figure out that sends it to the bottom of the page and not the bottom of its parent DIV. Please can somebody let me know how it is possible to achieve this? hope this is coherrant and fairly simple to do! thanks. I have a div, which inherits properties from a style sheet. I can't change the style sheet, but I can apply inline properties to the div. How can i make the elements contained in the div have a little space between each other? The equivalent when using a table would the the cellSpacing attribute. thanks On a 3 column page I left the center column completely empty because I am using a non-scrolling, centered image as background and I want it persistently visible, though the 2 marginal columns are welcome to scroll. My problem arises when I try to put my navigation bar at the bottom of the page. It insists upon occupying the empty center column and rising to the top of it (though it gets itself truncated to the width of the center column). I don't want it there; I want it a bit below the longer of the two (populated) marginal columns and centered on the page. This is my first attempt with CSS for page layout and I am using the template from glish. Hi! i'm trying to position footer at the very bottom. this example does it as expected (if the page is longer than viewport, footer will be at the end of page): Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

how may i fix it? thanx! i want to position a div 383 pixels left of the center of my browser. i've tried using left:50% and a negative margin..anyone have suggestions on things to try? Ok, so maybe I don't understand the display attribute quite right. What I'm doing makes sense to me, but it's not working right when displayed. I have a div that is set to display inline (so that I don't have to use floating). Since inline elements can't have height/width attributes, i have another div inside of it, with display set to block. This inner div has height and width attributes. Now, if I place another similar structure (block div inside inline div) in the code, the two outer divs /should/ (in my mind) render side-by-side with the heights and widths of their child div's. When I try it though, it displays everything as block-type. Any ideas? PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Title</title> <style type="text/css"> img{ border: 0px black solid; height: 200px; } div.outerholder{ display: inline; } div.innerholder{ text-align: center; height: 200px; width: 267px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: block; } div.centerme{ text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="centerme"> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-left: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-left: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> P.S. It also doesn't center properly in FF, but that's secondary... 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. http://www.obelix.ca/templates/index.html I want to know how I could possible control all the elements inside a table that is inside a div with an id. This is possible correct? So if I have: Code:
#header { width: 900px; }
And then something like this: Code: <div id="header"> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </div> I'd like to then have something like: Code:
#header.table,td {padding-left: 10px;}
Which I am hoping would put a 10px padding on all the td's in the table and nothing else. Is my syntax right? I have a header set up as a div. Inside the header are three elements: #logo, #picture and #contact_info. #logo and #picture are images (image tags in the "html") and #contact_info is a div. I want #logo to float to the left (no problem), #picture to float to the right (problem), and #contact_info to be flush against #picture's left side. How might I accomplish this? Nothing is positioning correctly except #logo. the (pertinent) css is: Code: #main {
width: 875px;
background-color: #FFCC77;
border-style: inset;
border: 2px solid #008080;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#header {
width: 875px;
height: 177px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background:url("gradient2.jpg") repeat-x;
border: 2px solid #008080;
}
#logo {
width:300px;
height:155px;
float: left;
}
#contact_info {
color: #800080;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 14px;
padding-top:0px;
padding-right:10px;
float: right;
}
#picture {
width: 160px;
height: 139;
margin: 10 10 10 10px;
}

Hi guys, could you help me out with following issue: See this Picture for better understanding: http:// picasaweb. google.se/lh/photo/e446yLNWr_eTqkiwPK0-CA?feat=directlink WHat i have is a div container (mainContent) In which i have some text in a Paragraph <P> and in the middle of this <P> i am trying to make a box which will contain a list of links. Have no clue how to achieve this. My idea would be: <div id: mainContent> //text//<div style="???"> //Link//<div style="float:right; DONT Know how to lower vertically??"> Good ideas for where i can find a solution? Firstly, I'd like to say that I've been browsing this forum for a while now, as well as sites such as w3schools, and I've found it all to be very helpful. But now I have a situation that I haven't been able to solve on my own. Essentially, I want to make a clear and simple CSS-based layout that will work across browsers and platforms. I use a Mac myself, and it's difficult for me to check for problems with Internet Explorer. The problem I'm currently having concerns layout and positioning. Here's a link to the splash page I'm working on for a student organization: http://individual.utoronto.ca/ghp/fasu2006/ Before I make the full site I want to work out layout troubles I've been having. I got on a PC and the text when viewed with IE did not seem to properly align within the opaque white box I made for it. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with concepts of absolute vs. relative positioning, unit values such as percents, px, em, and making use of things like padding, margins etc. and I'm hoping I can get some advice. So in one sentence, here is my question: How can I position elements (text, divs, images, anything) on the screen using CSS in an efficient way that will produce a similar result in different browsers? Here is the code that I think is relevant: Code: p {font-size: .75em; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 12em;
margin-top: 8em;}
#content {margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-right: auto; margin-left: 3em;
width: 800px; padding: 20px;
background: transparent;}
#overlayback {position: absolute; top: 8em;
left: 15em; width: 250px; height: 250px;
z-index: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=80); opacity: .80;
background: #FFF;}
#overlaytext {position: absolute; top: 3em;
left: 15em; z-index: 1;}
h1 {font-size: 6em; margin-left: .1em;
margin-top: .75em;}
h2 {font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal;
