CSS - Centering Flickr Badge

Hey guys, I'm having trouble centering div boxes on my page, wondering if anyone can help.

I have tried using {margin: 0 auto;} which works fine, but when the scrollbar appears on the page it knocks it off balance and the other content on the page becomes mis-aligned. I have also tried setting left margins to push the div to the middle, but I figured this would cause problems and wouldn't look right to people using higher than 1024x768 resolutions.

Is there any other way?

Hi all, this is my CSS:

Code:

body {
	font-family:arial;
	font-size:14px;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

.mainbar {

	position:absolute;
	height:100%;
	width:600px;
	display:block;
	background-color:#F2F2F2;
	top:0px;
	bottom:0px;
	z-index:0;
	border-top: 0px solid #000000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: 0px solid #000000;
	border-left: 1px solid #000000;
}

.contact {
	position:absolute;
	display:block;
	height:40px;
	width:600px;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	top:80%;
	bottom:0px;
	z-index:0;
	border-top: 1px solid #000000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
	border-left: 1px solid #000000;
}

.logo { 
	position:absolute;
	display:block;
	height:200px;
	width:600px;
	background-color:#CCCCCC;
	top:10%;
	bottom:10%;
	border:1px solid #000000;
	z-index:2;
}

.logoborder {

	border-top: 0px solid #000000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: 0px solid #000000;
	border-left: 1px solid #000000;
	
}

Now how do I go about centering all of this? I have put many frustrated hours into this, and have tried everything that could have a possibility of working but have come out with nothing. Any help would be appreciated!

Please, I have read other forum posts and it is not clear what to do, so treat me like i'm 5 years old!!!

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I am fairly comfortable with HTML, and even know a decent amount of PHP and Javascript. But sometimes trying to do the simplest things in CSS makes my head spin! (this is one of those times).

I've got a "scrolling" header at the top of a page (stays visible even when scrolling), and am trying to center a DIV (which contains opt-in forms) inside that header. It looks good when my browser window is maximized (at 1280x1024 resolution). But when I minimize the browser or check it in other screen resolutions, the "centering" of the opt-in forms are off.

Here is the page...

www.wordflood.com/Test/Scrolling_Header.html

And here are the CSS includes...

www.wordflood.com/Test/style.css
www.wordflood.com/Test/IE6_style.css

This was really just a quick hack from a "scrolling header" demo I found online, so I must have overlooked something.

Any ideas?

I was wondering how I could center a CSS div so I would have one column going thorugh the middle. I tryed using "center" in the CSS but that didn't work and then I read some where else about floats and how they will make every go to either the left or right. How would I go about centering a Div like that? Thankyou for any help.

This list is a navigation bar that displays tabs horizontally. I can't seem to figure out what properties I need to use to center it correctly.

I have 2 problems:

1. How can I get these list items centered?
2. the second level seems to have problems displaying horizontally in IE. How can I fix it?

Code:

<div id="tablenavcontainer">
  <div id="navcontainer">
    <ul>
			<li><a href="/doctors/enroll/" rel="self" class="" id="purple" name="patientenroll">Enroll Patient</a></li>
			<li><a href="/doctors/patients/" rel="self" class="" id="current" name="doctorspatients">My Patients</a></li>
			<li><a href="/doctors/lab/" rel="self" class="" id="green" name="doctorlab">Lab</a></li>
			<li><a href="/doctors/pharmacy" rel="self" class="" id="yellow" name="doctorpharmacy">Pharmacy</a></li>

			<li><a href="/doctors/tools/" rel="self" class="" id="red" name="doctortools">My Office Tools</a></li>
			<li><a href="/doctors/home/" rel="self" class="" id="graphite" name="doctorhome">Home</a></li>

    	<ul>
				<li><a href="/doctors/patients/currentchart.html" rel="self" id="currentchart" name="currentchart" >Current Chart</a></li>
				<li><a href="/doctors/patients/labhistory.html" rel="self" id="labhistory" name="labhistory" >Lab History</a></li>
				<li><a href="/doctors/patients/symptomhistory.html" rel="self" id="symptoms" name="symptoms" >Symptom History</a></li>

				<li><a href="/doctors/patients/prescriptionhistory.html" rel="self" id="prescriptions" name="prescriptions" >Prescription History</a></li>
				<li><a href="/doctors/patients/reports.html" rel="self" id="reports" name="reports" >Restore Reports</a></li>
				<li><a href="/doctors/lab/ordertesting.html" rel="self" id="ordertest" name="ordertest" >Order Testing</a></li>
				<li><a href="/doctors/pharmacy/prescribe.html" rel="self" id="orderrx" name="orderrx" >Prescribe</a></li>
				<li><a href="/logout.html" rel="self" id="" name="" >Log Out</a></li>
	    </ul> 
     </ul>

    <br style="clear: both;" />
    
  </div>

Good day to you all,
I'm working on a pop up css box.
My problem is that I can't make it to be centered.


Here is my code :

PHP Code:
echo "<a onmouseover=\"this.style.cursor='pointer'\" onfocus=\"this.blur();\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('$namess').style.display = 'block' \" >\r"; 
echo "<span><img src=\"http://ponder.peuplies.info/V_0-1/Art/".$imgdir."".$img."\" width=\"50\" border=\"0\" title=\"".$img."\" alt=\"".$img."\" /></span></a>\r";

echo "<div id=\"$namess\" align=\"center\" style='display: none; position: absolute; margin: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;    border: solid black 1px; padding: 10px; background-color: rgb(255,255,225); text-align: justify; color:#000000; font-size: 12px; '>\r"; 
echo "This is a CSS Popup that can be positioned anywhere you want on the page and can contain any test and images you want.\r"; 
echo "<img src=\"http://test.com/Art/".$imgdir."".$img."\" width=\"50\" border=\"0\" title=\"".$img."\" alt=\"".$img."\" />";
echo "<br />\r"; 
echo "<div style='text-align: right;'><a onmouseover='this.style.cursor=\"pointer\" ' style='font-size: 12px;' onfocus='this.blur();'  onclick=\"document.getElementById('$namess').style.display = 'none' \" ><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;  color:#000000;\">Close</span></a></div>\r"; 
echo "</div>\r"; 






Can somebody help me ?

How can I, let's see how to say this. Align text to the middle of a div (up and down)... not really a center


Normal:

________________________________
Text

________________________________



After:
________________________________

text
________________________________



THANKS

Hello, I have tried to use the auto margin to center a div within a div, but the auto margin only seems to work on the outermost div. Is there a workaround where I can center my content inside of a nested div? Take the example code:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: orange;
}
#container {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
}
#nested {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
	<div id="nested">
		Text Here
	</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

So I want the nested div to have its content centered, so "Text Here" is in the center.

im trying to center this div but im not to sure on how to do it
Code:

<style type="text/css">
div.img
  {
  margin:2px;
  border:1px solid #0000ff;
  height:auto;
  width:auto;
  float:left;
  text-align:center;
  }
div.img img
  {
  display:inline;
  margin:3px;
  border:1px solid #ffffff;
  }
div.img a:hover img
  {
  border:1px solid #0000ff;
  }
div.desc
  {
  text-align:center;
  font-weight:normal;
  width:120px;
  margin:2px;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="img">
  <a target="_blank" href="klematis_big.htm">
    <img src="klematis_small.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="110" height="90" />
  </a>
  <div class="desc">Add a description of the image here</div>
</div>
<div class="img">
  <a target="_blank" href="klematis2_big.htm">
    <img src="klematis2_small.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="110" height="90" />
  </a>
  <div class="desc">Add a description of the image here</div>
</div>
<div class="img">
  <a target="_blank" href="klematis3_big.htm">
    <img src="klematis3_small.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="110" height="90" />
  </a>
  <div class="desc">Add a description of the image here</div>
</div>
<div class="img">
  <a target="_blank" href="klematis4_big.htm">
    <img src="klematis4_small.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="110" height="90" />
  </a>
  <div class="desc">Add a description of the image here</div>
</div>

Hi, I'm trying to design a web page and I want to center all the content (including the background), and have another background behind all of that. I can't figure out how to center everything. When I put a <div> around all the content and center it in CSS, only certain elements(some graphical buttons) get centered while all of the text stays lined up to the left. Any ideas? I'm sure I'm making a really silly mistake.

Hi there,

I am trying to center a div within a div. The container div needs to stretch 100% width. It works in FF, but not IE.

Any ideas?
This is my code:

PHP Code:
#top_bar{
background-image: url('img/top_bar.jpg');
height: 54px;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
width: 100%;
}



#top_bar_content{
padding: 18px 0 10px 0px;
width: 870px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
} 

I am having a lot of trouble with a menu I created. It works fine in firefox, but does not display properly in IE. I created a page with images and code to explain the problem he

If anyone could help me out, that would be great. This is the one thing that is holding me back from putting this new site up.

Please reply or email cbanker[at]gmail[dot]com if you have any advice.

Thanks,
Chris
