It is hitting left bottom corner of the div "map" above it. I would like my sidebarSearch to be underneath map on the very right. Thank you very much i've heard talk of text-align wrapper hacks, or just plain using tables... i got my main container div to align center by setting it to "margin:auto" but that code doesnt work for the divs inside that div.... can you please help me out... cuz i dont even know what the text-align hack is... i just have heard of it/ I am trying to get a row of mixed divs to align horizontally center on the page. I would also like to move the Google Checkout logo up a bit so it is vertically centered relative to the logos on that row. Can you help me do these things? TIA!

Code: <div class="container"> <div class="menu"></div> </div> i want .menu to always be at the bottom of .container .... no matter the height of the container div Hi, just a quick question. Say I have two input buttons (Just like the submit post/preview post buttons at the bottom of the forms). Code: <input type="submit" value="blah" /> <input type="submit" value="lol" /> If I want to align them in the center of the row that they're on, I've had to wrap them in a <div> with the text-align: center attribute on the div. Is there anyway to accomplish this same purpose without having to use wrapper <div>s? I've been having problems trying to vertically align an image within a div. I'm trying to align it to the bottom of the div. CSS as follows: #col1r1 { float: left; height: 40%; width: 33%; display: inline; text-align: right; } div#col1r1 div#image { bottom: 66%; left: 60%; color: black; vertical-align: bottom; } div#col1r1 div img.pagegr { width: 60%; } HTML: <div id="col1r1"> <div id="image"><img class="pagegr" src="images/blah.gif" alt=""></div> </div> Unfortunately this code will be appearing on multiple pages with a different image on each page - some portrait, some landscape, and of varying sizes - otherwise, I would have added some blank space to the top of image itself to make it fit and sit nicely aligned with the bottom of the box. I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance. can anyone tell me why the control div with the links and the div to contain the images for my photo album do not look properly aligned? link to photo Album can be found here but please note this is a dynamically set IP so is likely to change: http://85.210.107.231/PA.html Hi, I have a content box inside a layer in Dreamweaver and I want to be able to align this content box to the right hand side of the layer, rather than on the left side. Is it possible to do this? Here is the code: Code: <head> <style type="text/css"> .xsnazzy h1 { margin:0; font-size:1.2em; padding:0 10px 5px 10px; border-bottom:1px solid #d76f0a; } .xsnazzy p { margin:0; padding:5px 10px; font-size:10px; } .xsnazzy { background:transparent; width:180px; float:left; margin-right:10px; } .xtop, .xbottom { display:block; background:transparent; font-size:1px; } .xb1, .xb2, .xb3, .xb4 { display:block; overflow:hidden; } .xb1, .xb2, .xb3 { height:1px; } .xb2, .xb3, .xb4 { background:#fff; border-left:1px solid #d76f0a; border-right:1px solid #d76f0a; } .xb1 { margin:0 4px; background:#d76f0a; } .xb2 { margin:0 3px; border-width:0 1px; } .xb3 { margin:0 2px; } .xb4 { height:2px; margin:0 1px; } .xboxcontent { display:block; background:#fff; border:0 solid #d76f0a; border-width:0 1px; } .color_a { background:#f69b43; color:#fff; } .color_b { background:#d76f0a; color:#000; } .color_c { background:#758279; color:#fff; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="Layer9" style="position:absolute; width:176px; height:115px; z-index:8; left: 332px; top: 157px;"> <div align="center" class="xsnazzy"> <b class="xtop"><b class="xb1"></b><b class="xb2 color_a"> </b><b class="xb3 color_a"></b><b class="xb4 color_a"></b></b> <div align="center" class="xboxcontent"> <h1 align="center" class="color_a"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Shopping Basket</font></h1> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> </div> <b class="xbottom"><b class="xb4"></b><b class="xb3"></b> <b class="xb2"></b><b class="xb1"></b></b> </div> </div> </body> ok. Ive been trying to use CSS to style my page instead of tables. but I cant get stuff to line up right. basically I have a div spanning the whole width of a css box. inside that div I have 3 sections, one for left-aligned text, one for center aligned text and one for right aligned text. what I want is to display on the far left a left arrow image (for use as a button) and the word 'Previous'. then in the middle of the div, center aligned, I want to display the words 'select a different draw' and on the right hand side, right aligned I want the word 'Next' followed by my right arrow. EASY PEASY I thought. Well it has taken me an hour to realise that I have to set my parent element to position: relative for the left middle and right elements to use absolute without going to the very top of the page. so at least I now have them along in a line. What I have found is that the the text on the left and right is vertically aligned to the BOTTOM edge of the image and the text in the middle has been vertically aligned to the TOP of the image despite all 4 css classes being defined as vertical-align: middle; please tell me where I am going wrong, I'm loosing my marbles here! --html: Code: <div id="width-100"> <div id="third-left"> <img src="images/arrowleft.png" alt="foo"/> Previous </div> <div id="third-middle"> Select a different draw </div> <div id="third-right"> Next <img src="images/arrowright.png" alt="foo"/> </div> </div> --css: Code: #third-left { width: 30%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; } #third-middle { position: absolute; top: 0px; margin: 0 35% 0 35%; width: 30%; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; } #third-right { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 30%; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle; } #width-100 { width: 100%; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; background: white; } any thoughts? Thanks, Ben Never had a reason to use this property...not sure I'm understanding it correctly. My intent was to have the the nav links sit on the baseline of the 50px height container. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! .css #toplinks { float:left; width:580px; background-color:#fffff; height: 50px; text-align:right; vertical-align:bottom;} html <div id="toplinks"> Home | Preferences | Help | Site Map | Contact Us | Log Out</div> Hi, Take a look at this page: http://nazgulled.home.sapo.pt/table.html This is easly done with tables as you can see, now, I want reproduce the same effect with divs but I don't know how. My exact problem is, how can I center more than 1 div tag in the same "line". And for any div tag I use the float option, I can't align the text to anywhere, how can I do this too? i have 2 divs one is a navigation bar, the other is the pages main contents. the contents and navigation links changes from page to page so i need a method so if the content is long, the navigation will stretch down long too to be the same height of the content, and the same thing vice versa. how do i go about doing this? I'm working on a new template for my site. I've just finished up the the basics for the layout but the two main divs aren't the same height. I know I can give the body a height and then give the divs a height but I want then I have to use overflow scroll which I don't want. I want the divs to be the same height but for the over all height to adjust to the size of the content. Is this possible? You can see the layout I have in the following gif. If anyone wants to see the code I've written so far, just ask and I'll upload a zip file or something. It's the divs with the screenshot link and the test text that I want to be the same height. I've not assigned height properties to either as just giving them height:100% properties seems to do nothing. Hi guys! Just wondering if this is an easy fix, otherwise I'll just switch the layout to a table. HTML: Code: <div id="box"> <div id="left"> <h1>MENU left</h1> <p>Content on the left.</p> </div> <div id="content"> <p> content... </p> </div> <div id="right"> <p>content...</p> </div> </div> CSS: Code: #box { width:750px; margin: 0px auto; padding:0px; border:1px; } #content { width:400px; padding:0px; float:left; overflow: auto; } #left { width:173px; padding:0px; float:left; background-color: #223344; border-color:white; } #right { width:173px; padding:0px; float:left; background-color: #223344; border-color:white; } I want all three columns to expand vertically to the size of the largest column. As of right now it's set up using CSS and I would prefer to keep it that way, but if switching the layout to tables would be much easier, I would be happy to do that too. Thanks for the help in advance! Well, I'm trying to make a comments-page for a certain thing, and I can't get the image to stop going over the bottom of the div, without using the min-height property. Can someone help?
