CSS - Centering And Alignment Problem With Multiple Divs
Similar TutorialsI'm having a little problem with centering divs: I have a dynamic page that displays items. Each item has it's own div containing an image and a title. I want these divs to be centered but also to drop onto multiple lines if necessary, for example: There is room for 4 items per row within the container div, so one item would be centered, two items would be centered, and so on, but 5 items would have 4 divs on the top row and one div centered underneath: 1 item: [div] 2 items: [div][div] 4 items: [div][div][div][div] 5 items: [div][div][div][div] [div] 10 items: [div][div][div][div] [div][div][div][div] [div][div] and so on. I can get this to work by using float to automatically drop the next 4 onto the next row, but is there a 'center' attribute or technique I could use to keeps these divs centered? I hope this makes sense to you all!! OK, I've got this page currently: http://www.brianellisrules.com/stickers/pics/ (click on a state) I'm trying to add a caption to each thumbnail showing the date: http://www.brianellisrules.com/stic...s/testindex.php (click on a state, preferably NY or NJ since they have a lot of pics) In the first version, I have all the pictures centered and they're all vertically aligned to the middle (of the row). In the second version, I switched over to floating div's so I could center each date below each thumbnail. That works great, however, all the thumbnails are left aligned. I tried adding a div around the thumbnails with everything centered, but no dice. How do I center the row of thumbnails? Also, how do I align the thumbnails to the center of the row (or at least the prev/next arrows)? Thanks! oh yeah, here's the CSS: div.thumbrow { clear: both; padding-top: 10px; margin-left: 20%; margin-right: auto;} /*THE MARGIN IS JUST A TEMP FIX, BUT NOT WHAT I WANT. I'D LIKE FOR IT TO BE CENTERED*/ div.float { float: left; text-align: center; } div.float p { text-align: center; margin: 0; font-size: 0.8em; } Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. hello geniuses. I know this is likely a very silly question. I am a designer looking to move closer to the 21st century of web development. how do I keep a group of divs generated in the form of a page as I have set up at: http://greentypeoftube.com/div/home1.html basically I want the whole group to be centered regardless of browser window. I've tried a bunch of things, including putting it all in a container, but it just bleeds over. please to help me someone, I appear to be obsessed and am not performing my duties here chained to the desk. - I have another question which may be better separated to another ? but I'll also add it here just in case someone knows both answers... in this same situation, is there a way to allow for the content window to automatically place scrollbars such as if I used an I-frame? thankyou for the genius of help. p Hi, I've decided to take the plunge and try using CSS to replicate a table layout. I've appended my code below. My issue is that I cannot get the menu and content <DIV> to align next to each other. Any tips gratefully received. PHP Code: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>CSS Layout</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- P { color: white; } body { background-color: #000000; text-align:center; } #box { width: 750px; margin: 0px auto; background color: #ccc; text-align: left; border:1px solid white; } #banner { width: 745px; margin: 10px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid white; background-color: #000000; } #menu { margin-left: 10px; background-color: #000000; width: 200px; border: 1px solid white; } #content { background-color: #000000; width: 500px; border: 1px solid white; } #footer { width: 745px; margin: 10px; height: 50px; border: 1px solid white; background-color: #000000; } !--> </style> </head> <body> <div id="box"> <div id="banner"> <p> this is my banner </p> </div> <div id="menu"> <p> this is the menu </p> </div> <div id="content"> <p> this is my content </p> </div> <div id="footer"> <p> this is my footer </p> </div> </div> </body> </html> Hi, I'm new here. I wasn't sure if this was a javascript problem or a css (I'm thinking it's probably a css problem). I've been using css for about a year, all very straight forward until my friend asked me to make some changes to his site Bascially what he wanted me to do is 1. vertically center the entire site to the browser window, and 2. also vertically center the title and caption for his photogallery Below is a link to the site I'm working on Code: http://theo.mypreview.co.uk/gallery/test I added some javascript that I found searching on google which isn't working quite right. This is the javascript code Code: (function ($) {
// VERTICALLY ALIGN FUNCTION
$.fn.vAlign = function() {
return this.each(function(i){
var ah = $(this).height();
var ph = $(this).parent().height();
var mh = (ph - ah) / 2;
$(this).css('margin-top', mh);
});
};
})(jQuery);
If you follow the link posted to the site I'm working on you should see 3 thumbnails, 1st thumbnail is a video which is my main struggle to center vertically. The other 2 thumbnails are for images. If you click on one of the thumbnails for a picture you will see how the title and caption align vertically (not quite center)* For some reason the div containing the main image content ignores the height so the margins are too big. *Video is posted within the span class called "phototext" which is where the descriptions for the images appears. side note - this javascript seems stop IE6 and 7 from loading the page Thanks Larss I'm trying to create a gallery, composed of an image and description divs (like so); pic1 What I want is to wrap these divs with a bordered div, that will accomodate as many of them per row as will fit the width of the browser, but also centering the wrapper like thus examples: pic2 This is what I have so far: Code:

Some help on this, would be very much appreciated. Are there any recommended techniques for centering a DIV in a page regardless of the screen size? I'd like to have an image centered on the page, and several images positioned over it. I envision the main image and the other images positioned relative to the top left of the main DIV, which is always centered on the page... Is there any way to center a <div> block itself, not the text in it? Using this code:
Code: #block{
padding:2px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width: 480px;
}
(which I am currently using) centers it in Firefox, but not IE. Also the code which adds a rollover effect to the links in the menu works in Firefox but not IE. Code: #menu li:hover{
background-color:#369;
}
The site's current URL is here, because my webhost's disk is full, and they are having problems with PHP scripts not working. Hi everyone, I am bad at this bit and i don't really know why. I have a div and a floated UL. I want the div to sit next to the UL, however, it sits above it and I cannot get them to sit together. Could someone please just post a brief method of getting them to sit side by side and I will try and work it for myself. Thanks. Page is http://www.wellandpower.net Having an odd rendering problem involving centering content in a fixed-width right hand column that lies within a fixed width centered master content div. Take a look at the template he http://www.ipfwcommunicator.org/devindex.php At first I tried to center the content using align="center" in the HTML markup, which I know is a no-no, so I'm not too sad it didn't work. I then tried {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}, thinking it would work in IE as it does with tables, but it did not. Both of these attempts worked worked with most modern browsers (Moz/Firefox/Safari/NN7) but failed on MSIE5/Mac and IE6/Win. Nice and compliant, and I would be happy in a perfect world, but alas, 90% of my readers use a (vastly) imperfect browser. I decided to get a bit more professional and utilize CSS positioning, setting the DIVs that hold the content boxes (i.e., Weather/Search/etc.) as {position: relative; left: 15px;}This also worked in most browsers, but oddly enough on IE5 Mac (and assume IE6 win although I didn't have a chance to test) the boxes centered but the tables inside the weather/search boxes that allow for cross-platform formating jutted out the side. Lastly, and this is the current solution, since the column is fixed width and the boxes are fixed width, I used the "ice" solution of dividing the remaining margin by two, and setting margin-left: equal to that. In this case: {margin-left: 15px;} Oddly enough this works FINE on everything, even IE5/Mac, but doesn't work on IE6/Windows, which instead results in what appears to be 5 or 6px more than the defined 15px. Compare here between Firefox and IE6 and you'll see it. And CSS is here So the question: What IS the best way to center up those boxes in that column? This is my first major CSS undertaking, having worked with nested tables up until now, so any pointers on my bad markup will be gladly accepted Thanks in advance, Aiden I'm trying to have a logo in a div next to a navigation menu that can align at a specific height in my logo. but im having a problem with my li background images staying within the ul background image. Can someone help me fix my code to align this properly? HTML CODE: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Example of problem If Image doesnt show below, view it he http://nadesign.pisigmachi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/example.jpg URL I'm trying to get multiple DIV tags with an set layout, like [Example 1] to show in this [Example 2] but also scroll along when you click on the arrows now my issue is if I use position "position:absolute" the little colour boxes stay where they are? now if I use "position:relative" I have to put the "top:-500px" and the next box as "top:-1300px" etc. but they are the top line of boxes like aaa and ccc in the first link but I cant see this being the correct way of doing this? I'm completely lost any pointers into how to get this to work would be nice? Hello everyone, Ive been trying to reconstruct a web design from a photoshop design and it has bars going down the side of a center container where the content is, the problem im having is when the text and such in the content 'rule' goes over one line, prior to what i thought would happen, only the content 'rule' scales to the amount of text and the container rule does nothing. Is there a way to make the container scale with the content and have the bars scale with the container...? Heres the css and the html Code:
#container
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
top: 0;
width: 875px;
margin-top: -8px;
padding: 0;
overflow: visible;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
#secondbar
{
margin-left: 102px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
background: #4D220F;
}
#bar
{
margin-left: 6px;
margin-right: auto;
width: 96px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;

I am a relative CSS newbie working on a new layout. My intended format is:
A sidebar (a div with no visible border) containing a set of smaller divs.
A main div for the content on the right.
About 35 px of space between the sidebar div and the main div.
Yet, for some reason I am unable to force the sidebar and main div to come together in the center with space between them. Using float: only seems to make them both hug the side of the page. My HTML code is: Code: <div class="sidebar">
<div class="cv">
<font size="3"><b><center>
Current Version Info
</center></b></font>
</div>
<div class="ver">
<center>
Version:
<br/>
<b>0.0.0</b>
</center>
</div>
<div class="rel">
<center>
Released:
<br/>
<b>00/00/00</b>
</center>
</div>
<div class="nav">
</div>
</div>
<div class="main">
<center>
Lorum ipsum
</center>
</div>
The relevant CSS code is: Code: div.sidebar {
width: 202px;
float: left;
border: 0px solid #00CC99;
}
div.cv {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid #00CC99;
background-color: rgb(33,33,33)
}
div.ver {
width: 99px;
border: 1px solid #00CC99;
float: left;
background-color: rgb(33,33,33)
}
div.rel {
width: 99px;
border: 1px solid #00CC99;
float: right;
background-color: rgb(33,33,33)
}
div.nav {
margin-top: 30px;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #00CC99;
background-color: rgb(33,33,33)
}
div.main {
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid #00CC99;
background-color: rgb(33,33,33);
float: right;
}
In particular, div.main and div.sidebar are the ones giving me trouble. What would you recommend? Edit: And for extra bonus points, can you tell me how to make another div go below everything, no matter how long the sidebar or main div is? Right now anything I add seems to hover behind the main div rather than render below it. Trying to achieve this: I'm having trouble figuring out how to float the right ad space correctly. This is what i've got so far: http://gatehouse.graffetto.com/floating_divs.html Code: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.mainDiv {margin: 0; border: 1px solid black; padding: 10px; width: 600px; float: left;}
.image {height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: red; float: left;}
.rightAd {float: right; background-color: blue; height: 250px; width: 300px; clear:right; margin-top: 300px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="mainDiv">
<div class="image">test</div>
<div class="rightAd">test</div>
<div class="textDiv">
Text content
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I know this is simple i just can't figure it out for some reason.. thanks for any help. I have a lblock, mblock and rblock div tags inside the content div tag. I am trying to center block tags so there will be 10px free space on each side of content div tag. You can check it at: http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ PHP Code: #content { width:796px; margin: auto;} #lblock { width:198px; float:left; } #mblock { width:200px; float:left; margin-left:2px;} #rblock { width:375px; float:left; margin-left:1px;} |
