CSS - Centering Image Beneath Text

I have this header in my css. and i am trying to get the Text i put in there to position in the middle and left of the header. But nothing i do works. it even will not change size that i describe or color.

here is the css for header and the text code.

Code:

#topsection {
       background: #EAEAEA url(images/png_logo.gif) no-repeat right center;
       height: 90px;       
}

span.htext {
        font-color: #3300CC;
        font-size: 30px;
        text-decoration: none;
        letter-spacing: 1px;
        text-align: left middle;
}

anyone know how to fix this.

How do I create centered left-justified text? I want it to look something like this:

+---------------SUPPOSE THIS IS MY PAGE---------------+
This paragraph is centered
with respect to the page,
but note that the text is
wrapped around and
left-justified within the
paragraph. +-----------------------------------------------------+


Can I achieve that with CSS without using tables and manipulating cell widths and cell alignments?


.

my navbar is a <ul> and i jsut added image icons. i have two problems, the placement and the vertical centering.

placement:
well, i guess its best to show you the code and what i had to do to get it in place. i used position:relative and then changed the bottom, but why is it so obscure???

Code:

#navbar {
	text-align:right;
	background-image: url('images/menu_new.GIF');
 	background-repeat:repeat-x;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 12px;
	padding-right: 8px;
	margin-top:-12;
	height:31;
}

#navbar ul {
	margin-right: -0.3em;
	height:31px;
	position:relative;
	bottom:-2px;
}

#navbar ul li {
	display: inline;
	list-style-type:none;
	margin-left: 0.3em;
	margin-right: 0.3em;
	position:relative;
	vertical-align:middle;
}

#navbar ul li a {
	padding-top:11px;
	color:#495B20;
	background-color:#BAD36B;
	border-left: 2px solid #fff;
	border-top: 2px solid #fff;
	border-right: 2px solid #000;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}

#navbar ul li a:hover {
	background-color:#495B20;
	color:#BAD36B;
	border-left: 2px solid #000;
	border-top: 2px solid #000;
	border-right: 2px solid #fff;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #fff;
}

#navbar ul li div {
	position:relative;
	
}

#navbar ul li img {
	border:none;
	width:24px;
	height:24px;
	padding-right:4px;
	margin: 0;
}

vertical centering:
i have looked at the tutorial, but i need serious help. i'm not trying it again, im missing something. can someone please show me how do do this? i want to center it like this...

.......................................
. .
. texttexttexttexttext.
.image texttexttexttexttext.
.----- texttexttexttexttext.
. .
.......................................
so both the image and text are centered but theyre floated left. actually, maybe they dont need to be floated cuz its just a word or two. look at the header for the best desc.

i have tried this with my game box, and i'm clued out. i really hope sum1 can help me with this.

EDIT:

DID IT ON MY OWN!!! THATS A FIRST!!!

Code:

#navbar {
	text-align:center;
	background-image: url('images/menu_new.GIF');
 	background-repeat:repeat-x;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 14px;
	margin-top:-15px;
	height:31px;
	line-height:31px;
	margin-left:0;
	margin-right:0;
}

#navbar ul li {
	display: inline;
	list-style-type:none;
}

#navbar ul li a {
	padding-left: 0.3em;
	padding-right: 0.3em;
	padding-top: 4px;
	padding-bottom: 4px;
	color:#495B20;
	background-color:#BAD36B;
	border-left: 2px solid #fff;
	border-top: 2px solid #fff;
	border-right: 2px solid #000;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
}

#navbar ul li a:hover {
	background-color:#495B20;
	color:#BAD36B;
	border-left: 2px solid #000;
	border-top: 2px solid #000;
	border-right: 2px solid #fff;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #fff;
}

#navbar ul li img {
	border:none;
	width:24px;
	height:24px;
	padding-right:4px;
	vertical-align:	middle;
}

now i have one QUESTION:
how do i get all the buttons to align center?????????? they all stay to the right

oh, and not a huge deal, but the text is a couple pixels down so it brings the image down too. how can i make the text in the vertical middle? the line-height thing only worked so well.

So I have 2 different background patterns that extend to infinity behind my logo.
Problem is, I could not center my logo in front of these two patters.
Code:

so it should display it like;

Layer 1: Left Pattern Right Pattern
Layer 2:              Logo

But instead, its displayed as;

Layer 1: Left Pattern Right Pattern
Layer 2: Logo

I spent over an hour searching this on the internet.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
Code:

.subcontent {
	min-height:50px;
	width:100%;
	background:#00CC66;
}
.leftcontent {
	min-height:50px;
	width:50%;
	float:left;
	background:url(images/bg_lpattern.jpg) repeat-x;
}
.rightcontent {
	min-height:50px;
	width:50%;
	float:left;
	background:url(images/bg_rpattern.jpg) repeat-x;
}

  <div class="subcontent" style="position:relative;">
  	<div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:400px; height:50px; position:absolute;">
  		<img src="images/logo.jpg" alt="Insert Logo Here" name="Insert_logo" width="200px" height="50px" />
    </div>
    <div class="leftcontent">
    </div>
    <div class="rightcontent">
    </div>
  </div>

I have a div with background images. It is styled float:left. That is all fine. The div is sized at 50x50px. Inside this div is a smaller image. I want the image to appear centered of the div. I have tried everything I can think of w r t margins and padding but the image allways shows up in the upper left corner.

Here is an example:
Code:

<div   class='caltool'   onmouseover="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(images/litegearani.gif)';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundImage = 'url(images/litegearstill.gif)';">
<a  href="whatever.html" title="export to desktop calendar"><img style="margin: auto; height:16px; width:16px;" src="icon_export_vcal.png"  width="16" height="16" border="0" /></a>
</div>

Here are the styles in the caltool class:
Code:

.caltool {
    float: left; 
    background-image: url(../images/litegearstill.gif);   
    background-repeat:  no-repeat; 
    background-position:center; 
    height:50px; 
    width: 50px; 
}    

How can I make the images be CENTERED over the gear background??

I've been away for nearly three months and may have forgotten some of the basics of CSS.
Today I added a banner photo to the top of my new bike club site, but cannot remember how to style it so that, when a visitor adjusts the width of their browser window, the banner photo sidles to the left or right to remain centered at the top of their window, along with the the bike club name and pull-down menus immediately below (see http://stallinswebdesign.com/vs/index.php). Can you suggest how I can style that banner photo so that it remains centered whenever a visitor stretches their browser window?

I know you can view source to view my <div> structure and so forth; let me know if you'd like
to see any parts of my style sheet.

Thank you for your valuable time.

hello,

i have this in my html:

Code:

<div id="link_image">
<a href="http://www.mylink.com/" target="_blank">My link with image
</div>

& here the css:

Code:

#link_image a
{
display:block;
width: 130px;
height: 21px;
text-indent:-3000px;
overflow:hidden;
text-decoration:none;
background:url(images/image.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;
padding: 7px;
background-color: #667700;
}

Now I would like that the image is right in the center of the background border with color #667700. Like now, it's just on the left side, not centered.

thanks!

My page has:
1) a left-sidebar which goes from the top-left corner and stretches down
2) a top-bar which goes from the edge of the left-sidebar and stretches all the way across to the right side of the page
3) a main content which covers the rest of the page

I want to place an image in the center of the top-bar but so far it only is centered when the window is maximised...I want it to be centered no matter what size the window is.

currently my css rules a

Code:

#topBar {
   position: absolute;
   height:15%;
   text-align: center;
   left:30%;
   margin:0px auto;
}

the xhtml source code for the topBar and image is:

Code:

<div id="topBar">
   <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p>
</div>

(the image id is just concerned with the size of the image at this time)

any suggestions as to how to I can have the image centered within the <div>?

some bright spark on Yahoo Answers failed to spot that I'm using xhtml (which tbf is only mentioned once) and told me to try:

Code:

<div id="topBar">
   <p><center><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></center></p>
</div> 

or

Code:

<div id="topBar" align="center">
   <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p>
</div>

Unless I'm mistaken, these are possibilities which will cause w3's validator to throw up an error.
For the record I'm using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and I presume my doctype declaration is correct as it was automatically generated by dreamweaver when I first made the document!

How do i center the image both horizontally and vertically....

I have read the < ALIGN > has be depreciated and must use style, but STYLE="vertical-align:middle" dpesnt seem to work in either/both the < DIV > and < IMG > tags

I am using an external CSS with a hiehgt of 168px, and calling the < DIV > block, then just using a < IMG > tag.

How can i align the image int he middle??

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting an image to go where I want it to, which is flush up against the top of the page and horizontally centered. I originally accomplished this a few years ago on my website, but now I am trying to do a new build, and this time around the code I used last time is not working!

The working image can be seen here, it is the banner logo displayed at the top of the page. It's currently perfectly set, and all I want is to have that again on a new page. However, when I simply copy/paste the old code onto that new page, it doesn't look anything like the original.

Here is the original code. In retrospect I have no idea how I got it to work, since it looks messy as heck:
Code:

<table align="center" style="position:relative; top:-15; z-index:5"  border="0" width="983" height="198">
<tr><td><img style="position:absolute; top:0;" src="http://www.thesunderedguard.com/images/banner.jpg"></td></tr>
</table>

All my tinkering around with the new page has not been successful at all. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Hello,
I am a fan of css and use it all the time. My one and only one problem with it is centering an image in a column that has been floated right. I've tried numerous ways to do this, but none have worked. Usually I end up adding a 2 column table, fixing the right column with x px, then adding images in rows in the left table column. This really does not center the image for all screen sizes, but it does move the images to the left. Also, margin-right:xpx would do about the same thing.
This long-winded explanation leads to my css question: Is there a way to center images in a column that has been floated right? Maybe I am over-looking the obvious.
Regards,
Lee

Good Morning All,

Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below.

The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement.

***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned.

text
-----------------------------------------------------------

rather than

text
------

and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x.


Please see relevant css information.

* (line 23)

{

margin-top: 0pt;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0pt;

margin-left: 0pt;

padding-top: 0pt;

padding-right: 0pt;

padding-bottom: 0pt;

padding-left: 0pt;

}

h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101)

{

font-size: 1.2em;

font-weight: normal;

padding-bottom: 4px;

margin-top: 0.6em;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0.8em;

margin-left: 0pt;

text-align: center;

}

.contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114)

{

background-color: transparent;

background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif");

background-repeat: repeat-x;

background-attachment: scroll;

background-position: left bottom;

}


Many Thanks in advance.

Hi.
See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should.
Please also read some comments in the code.

Code:

<html><body><center><br><br>
Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br>
If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br>
NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br>
In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br>

<br><br>
<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td>
	<span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;">
		<span style="display:block; float:left">
			<img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0">
		</span>
		
		<span style="display: block; color: white;">
			Text here. 
		</span>
	</span>
</td></tr></table>

<br><br>
<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td>
	<span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;">
			<img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left">
			Text here.
	</span>
</td></tr></table>

</center></body></html>
