CSS - Centering A Block
Hi guys,
can you give me some tips to centering a block (<div>) of code? I would like it centered vertically and horizontally and I would also like the background of the element centered (so the whole thing). text-align doesn't work, it only centers the text, not the element. Thanks, Josh Similar TutorialsHello, I'm customising a theme in wordpress and having a problem centering the three widgets that appear in the footer at the bottom. Nothing seems to work that I have tried. I know very little about css but understand the basic principle but can't seem to find the problem. I want the footer to be 100% the width of the page and for the three wigets to be in a single row of 3 but in the center and not off to the left. I've tried adjust the float but it just stacks them on top of each other set to none and over to the right set to right... I've inlcuded the CSS below and also the code in my footer.php page. Thanks in advance. test site is http://mtbireland.com/hkr Code: </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="width:100%; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto;">
<div id="footer"><div id="footer-left">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('footer 1') ) : ?> <li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="footer-middle">
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('footer 2') ) : ?> <li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('footer 3') ) : ?> <li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>
Code: #footer {
height:200px;
padding:20 0 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
line-height:20px;
font-family: Tahoma,georgia,Century gothic, Arial, sans-serif;
width:100%;

text-align:left;
}
/* Footer Widgets */

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?? Ok, I know there must be a simple solution to this that I'm blanking on. The website has a background image: Code:
#background {background-image: url(x.jpg);
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 1024;
height: 760;
z-index: 1;}
So it's centered and the margins auto resize. Now, I want to add a text content area over the background so that it moves with it upon resizing. What's the best way to do so? http://warcraftpress.com/theme/theme.html I'm trying to have #footer be pushed down instead of the menu lapping over it. Basically, I want the menu to push it down, but it just overlays it. Thanks I have this CSS for my "globalNav" class: .globalNav {width: 217px; background-image:url(images/barbackground.jpg); background-color: #1B619E; background-repeat: repeat-x; border-right: 1px solid #075284; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 125px; height: 450px} .globalNav A {background-color: #004E82; border-top: 1px solid #407AA1; border-bottom: 1px solid #00375C; border-right: #00406B; color: white; font-weight: bold; padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; text-decoration: none; display: block} This is my code for globalNav: <div class="globalNav"> <a href="#">Global 1</a> <a href="#">Global 2</a> <a href="#">Global 3</a> <a href="#">Global 4</a> <a href="#">Global 5</a> <a href="#">Global 6</a> </div> For whatever reason, display block won't work in IE unless I remove the width, height, and positioning. Anyone know any tricks to make this work? In the attached gif, you should be able to see exactly what I mean, if I don't explain it well enough. I have a containing block, #content_main, defined as such: Code: #content_main
{
margin-left: 170px;
padding: .5cm .25cm 50px;
}
Headers (h1, h2, h3, etc) are used inside #content_main and are defined like this: Code: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{
font-family: georgia, serif;
border-bottom: 1px solid #009;
}
If you look at the attached gif, you'll see the problem. The top one is what happens. It extends the border-bottom to the width of the containing block, even though it places the text correctly. The second one "Something Else" is what I want it to look like. I edited that with Fireworks. Since it renders the same in Firefox and IE, I figure it's my code that's wrong. Any thoughts? MPEDrummer Hi guys I was just wondering why cant i see these two <b></b> "blocks" on each side of my <UL> block in ie6 but in Firefox i can? Screenshot of situation: here is my code for the <b> blocks: PHP Code: .navbar b.lefty { display:block; position:absolute; z-index:604; height:100%; width:20px; top:0px; left:-20px; padding:0; margin:0; background-color:#ffffff; } .navbar b.righty { display:block; position:absolute; z-index:604; height:100%; width:20px; top:0px; left:136px; padding:0; margin:0; background-color:#ffffff; } Here is my code for the <UL> block: PHP Code: .navbar :hover ul { z-index:604; width:136px; top:40px; left:0px; padding:0; margin:0; background-color:#333333; text-align:left;} Now here is my HTML: PHP Code: <ul> <b class="lefty">d</b> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <b class="righty">d</b> </ul> Hi, im trying to create a block of colour of various width. Im trying to do it with <span> like so <span style="background-color:#336699; width:100px"></span> Now why wouldnt that work and is there a better way to do what im trying to achieve? Hi Guys, I have a generic Question/Problem to do with a Block Element (in this case a div) in an li tag. This seems to be a problem in browsers like IE8 and Safari but not IE7 and the latest FireFox version. Where with the div item 'drops down' a line from the li bullet. Like this (. is the li): . Here is My Div Content I want it to be like this: . Here is My Div Content Now this only doesn't happen if I just have plan text between the div with no class, so I'm thinking that something in my css dragHandle class may be at fault. Either that or I need to add something to it to do with float or display: line or block etc? Any thoughts or ideas are most appriciated (note I'm using a div in an li as I'm using the AJAX reorder list control and need something for a 'drag handle' to select an item in the list. The reorderlist uses ul and li to display itslef to I have to use this markup structure). Here is my markup. <ul> <li> <div class="dragHandle"> </div> </li> </ul> DragHandle class is as follows .dragHandle { width: 20px; height: 25px; background-image: url(/styles/icons/selectarrow.JPG); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: move; } I would like to have a table with 6 td's across and the 7th td to break line and default to under neath the first td. I tried using display block and firebug outline the area where my content should be but it is still to the right of the 6th td. I would just like to do this to keep it in the same row so i can hide and show it dynamically outside of those first 6 td's. i coudnt find the forum search feature...? but anyone help with wht i am doing wrong? much appreciated I am a 3week knewb to css. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me when I would use: div or display:block div or span span or display:inline thank you I'm trying to use image sprites to make images on my website switch to another image when the user hovers over them. These images are each placed in their own td that are set at different percentages within a 100% table. The reason I need to use percentages is because I want the table and images to re-size to fit each individual computer screen. They do this beautifully, but when I add the image sprite, which has "display: block;" in its CSS, my images wont re-size. They just cut off. Is there a way to use image sprites without the display: block code? Or is there a similar way to make images seamlessly grow and shrink to fit a browser without using a width percentage? Thanks! I'm very aware of all sorts of IE bugs, but I've never heard of a safari bug with the display:block property within an inline anchor. Does anyone have a solution for this bug? view this page with the latest Safari: animalcrossingbay.net/cmps_index.php I'm reading the "containing blocks" section of http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/: "Block boxes are generated by elements such as P, DIV or TABLE." <div> This is the first sentence. <p>This is the second sentence.</p> </div> "It's interesting to note that while the text of the first sentence in the above example generates an inline box" -Didn't they say that block boxes are generated by div? So why isn't the text of the first sentence in a block box? I'm trying to put an icon next to a block of text, but I have a bunch of strange width problems. I'd like it to be directly next to the news story, but without the text wrapping. So far, my solution causes the gap between the icon and the text to get really huge as resolution increases. What I want is for the icon to be about 20 or 30 pixels away regardless of the resolution. Any simple way for me to do this? I'm still trying to get the hang of all this CSS stuff. News page: http://www.brickfilms.com/ Story code: Code: <div id='newsItem'><img src="<?echo $icon;?>" width="64" height="64" class="newsIcon"> <div id='newsText'> <h3 class='newsTitle'><?echo $title;?></h3> <p class='newsStory'><i>by <?echo $author;?>, <?echo $date;?></i><br> <?echo $story;?> </p> <br></div> </div> The CSS is at http://www.brickfilms.com/brickfilms.css Thanks in advance. I really, really want to figure out how to duplicate the way Newegg.Com's product cells on their front page dynamically change width depending on the width of your browser window. I see they use some extremely fancy javascript that frightens me greatly. What do you guys think about their technique? I'm using the same CSS cell idea on my site so that the product tables display varying numbers of columns depending on the user's browser width. But man, this final step of autowidth is totally out of my league. Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to put 2 block-level elements next each other without float and absolute positioning? Can you make them display as inline-elements so that they line up next each other? greets I have been reading about the problems regarding visibility with IE/FireFox/Safari. I have: Code:
<input type="button" onClick="toggleSurveyView('block')">
<input type="button" onClick="toggleSurveyView('table-row')">
<tr id="surveyDetails">
<td>HI</td>
</tr>
function toggleSurveyView(visible) {
document.getElementById('surveyDetails').style.display = visible;
}
In IE visible: block works great in FireFox/Safari visible: table-row works great. Is there a work around to get this visibility issue resolved for all browsers? Or am I going to have to perfrom some sort of browser type check? I just want to be able to toggle showing this table row on and off Hey, I been wondering, when using XHTML Strict, what is considered the correct way of making a block level element (like a division) and the document body fill-out/fit the browser window vertically? The way I've been accomblishing this is by using javascript to set the height of the body when-ever the page is loaded and resized, though using something like this(of course, using document.documentElement.clientHeight for IE and using a more sane variable name for the sum of the top and bottom margins ) Code: document.body.style.height = (window.innerHeight - sumOfTopAndBottomBodyMargins) + "px"; and and setting the block level elements css height property to 100%. This works, but its lame! When resizing, the block level element doesn't get resized before you are done resizing and the appropriate event is fired. Not very 21th century. So, to sum up.. can some friendly soul please enlighten me on how I can do this in a decent way using only CSS? Cheers |
