CSS - Trouble Centering Horizontal Nav Bar
I hope someone can help me with this, I've been messing with it for hours, and it /seems/ like it should be simple.
Take a look at this page. I am trying to extend the green background of the nav bar over to the black line on the right hand side, and to center the css buttons so that the whole nav is centered within the containing div (the black lines on the web page.) Here is the relevant page code: PHP Code: <div id="navbar" class="nav"> <ul> <li class="first"><a href="/admin/events/">SUBSCRIBE</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/photos/">ISSUES</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/content/">PURCHASE CATALOG</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/press/">SELLERS GUIDE</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">PRODUCTS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">NEWSLETTERS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">EVENTS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">BLOGS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">ABOUT US</a></li> </ul> </div> and here is the CSS for the nav bar: PHP Code: #navbar { width: 768px; text-align: center; background-color: #098E00; margin-top: 35px; } .nav ul { width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; font-size: 11px; } /* any li element within .nav container */ .nav li { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; border-left: 1px solid #fff; } /* any anchor in a .nav list item element */ .nav li a { display: block; /* expand to fill parent li */ margin: 0; /* no space between anchors */ padding: 3px 6px 3px 6px; text-decoration: none; /* no underline */ color: #fff; /* override default link color */ background-color: #098E00; } /* 1st list item has no left border */ .nav li.first { border-left: 0 none; } /* rollover effect */ .nav li a:hover { background-color: #ccc; } How do I center the nav bar, and make it so that the CSS buttons are centered on a green background that goes from the left hand black line to the right hand black line? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. Similar TutorialsI have a small problem and I can't figure out what it is that's causing it as the CSS used to replicate the issue doesn't really give any insight as to why things are getting ****ed up. My site is: ( jump for joy I got my routers firewall to forward port 80 ) http://24.224.254.115/~wayne/moorhousehome.ca/NEW The CSS in question will work, but I have comments after the two lines that cause issues. Code: css
#inner-wrap{/*there is no outer-wrap*/
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:50%; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
margin-left:-400px; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
}
If I comment out both lines the issue goes away, but the horizontal centering disappears too. If I uncomment either of them the issue reappears. I will leave the issue live on my website while people have a look. And once I fix this I will be fixing the two images in the bottom left corner with the text beneath each one. There won't be a hover over effect as there is in Firefox. Hey guys, Im having a bit of a confusing problem at the moment, im trying to center my navigation menu inside my fixed width. This is how it currently looks like: Im trying to center it so it doesnt matter how many <li>'s there are it will still be centered. Here is my HTML: PHP Code: <center> <div class="main_menu"> <ul> <li> <a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Services</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> </ul> </div> </center> And here is my CSS: Code: .main_menu
{
border:1px solid;
width:898px;
margin-bottom:5px;
background-color:#333333;
height:30px;
line-height:30px;
color:#000000;
position:relative;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
text-align: center;
}
.main_menu ul
{
position:relative;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
list-style:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
.main_menu ul li
{
list-style-position:inside;
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
padding:0;
margin:0;
float:left;
background:#333333;
}
.main_menu ul li a
{
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
color:#FFF;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
padding:0 25px;
}
.main_menu ul li a:hover
{
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
background:#3ea5ea;
color:#000;
}
Hi, I am wanting a site that is vertically and horizontally centered. I have achieved to vertically center in both FF and IE but now I am having horizontal centering problems which is usually the easy part. I have tried many different methods and I am not able to center it in FF but I am able to center in IE. If someone could help me that would be great. Here my page: jacenta.com/TESTING/ Here is the code: Code:

Hello everyone, I'm trying to center a fixed size div both vertically and horizontally. Everything would work, but, as usual ... IE doesn't know how to handle it properly. Let me explain: Code:

If you copy and paste it to explorer, everything might even look good. But if you resize the browser to be just a little bit larger than the black div, you'll notice that both vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear. Why is this happening? How do i prevent IE from acting stupid? I've tested with ie6 and ie7. Hi, I would like to center a div inside another div (both vertical and horizontal) in such a way that the inner div would move/reside depending on the content inside it. In other words I have two divs; outerDiv and innerDiv. InnerDiv will have more html inside it and I would like innerDiv to always be in the middle of outerDiv regardless of its content. I did some research on the internet and I managed to achieve the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

}

However with the above code, innerDiv does not re-position it-self correctly based on its content. Is what I need possible? Regards, Sim085 Let me start by saying I'm a PHP/MySQL guy, not a designer. I know enough CSS to get by, but my focus has been the data side, not the design side. Hell I usually just use tables so I don't have to mess with any of this crap. I guess it's come to the point where I need to update my design skills or be left in the dust (since you can outsource LAMP guys for $4 a friggin' hour now ) I'm using the pretty standard UL-LI menu set to display vertically. Now I've added a couple links and it's too big for one line if I want to maintain style at 800 x 600. I figured the easiest way was to let it wrap to 2 lines. It wraps fine, but everything is either left aligned or right. I'd like both of the rows to be centered. Is there an easy way to do this? Here's the general layout: PHP Code: // .main is the style for the container // #main is the positioning of this instance of main // .tree_menu_list is the vertical stuffs <div class="menu" id="main"> <ul class="tree_menu_list"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=vision">Vision</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=buying">Buying</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=renovation">Building</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=selling">Selling</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=payout">Payout</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=opportunities">Opportunities</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=services">Services</a></li> <li><a href="images.php">Photos</a></li> </ul> </div> Hello All, I am trying to get a "horizontal menu" in CSS to properly center in my "#topbar" dev which is basically a header that is 100% width of the page. I have the website name, then the menu which is to be centered directly below it. I have searched google for hours and found one website (I guess cause i'm new it won't let me put the url in here) and it broke down each section of the CSS and it says that to horizontally position the menu just add text-align: center; to the #tabsE ul section, but that doesn't change anything at all. I have also tried replacing the float values with margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (I've used those to center images before) and that just destroys the menu (it all shifts to the right side of the screen, and spaces out vertically). I am really kind of stuck here, I'm pretty new to CSS and most the basics are clicking, it seems to me that centering items so far has been one of the biggest pains yet. Here is the CSS: Code: /*- Menu Tabs E--------------------------- */
#tabsE {
width:100%;
background:#000;
font-size:93%;
line-height:normal;
}
#tabsE ul {
margin:0;
padding:10px 10px 0 0px;
list-style:none;
}
#tabsE li {
display:inline;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#tabsE a {
text-align: center;
background:url("tableftE.gif") no-repeat left top;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 4px;
text-decoration:none;
}
#tabsE a span {
text-align: center;
display:block;
background:url("tabrightE.gif") no-repeat right top;
padding:5px 15px 4px 6px;
color:#000;
}
/* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#tabsE a span {float:none;}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */
#tabsE a:hover span {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#tabsE a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE a:hover span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
I tried to post the HTML (its just a standard <ul> with list </ul>) but it won't let me, because it contains url's so, I can e-mail you that if neccesary. I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Chris Good evening, I'm trying to center a horizontal menu on a website, and I can't seem to get the right code tags in the write places. I'd like to get the links on the menu to center on the page, and perhaps to display in a consistent width text box. My menu bar is 900px, and there are 10 links, so for instance I would like to reduce these boxes containing the links to a consistent 90px. Any thoughts? website - http://www.squadron282.com CSS Code: Code:

Hello! I used CSS to vertically center my web site however when it is viewed in the horizontal mode on an iphone, the site is cut off and not centered. How can I fix this? Here is the css I used to center the site: #wrapper { width:850px; height:650px; position:absolute; top:50%; margin-top:-325px; left:50%; margin-left:-425px; } And here is the site: (URL address blocked: google Maid Marian Muffins) I need the result to be fully functional i.e. zoom & pinching functions must still work. Hi, This is a link to my site: http://www.zombiemod.com/rm/nina2/main.php?g2_itemId=13 This is the relevant CSS: Code: #main-image-container {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
#main-image-container #sliding-frame p {
position: relative;
height: 470px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#main-image {
position: absolute;
left: 105px;
cursor: nw-resize;
z-index: 10;
background-color: #111;
}
Ive tried automatic margins, align-center and a few other things, but I cant get this code to sit in the center of the page: Code: <div id="main-image-container"> <div id="slideshow-controls"> </div> <div id="sliding-frame"> <p> <img id="main-image" src="main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21&g2_serialNumber=2" style="width: 460px; height: auto;"/> </p> </div> Can anyone help me out and show me what I should be doing? Ok, so I've got a decent design laid out, and I'm working on creating the markup for it, but I've run into some trouble. It's a fairly common style, two collumn with a header and footer. The navbar is a 2 deep nested unordered list sitting on the left side inside a floated div called "sidebar." What I'd like, is for the space to the right of it to function as if it was a separate cell as it were (in tables lingo anyway, if you can't tell I'm still learning the new way of things). The funny thing is, IE does this by default, and I know that's incorrect, but I really wish I could get the layout working just like it works in IE. The page is located at: http://www.digital-traffic.net/gallery.php CSS is at: http://www.digital-traffic.net/styles/main.css I would like to align left images so that they touch against each other. Here is a capture of my problem. dollhedz.com/test [CODE] <style type="text/css"> body{ background-color:#000033; color:#00cc33; } #wrapper{ background-color:#000000; margin:15px auto 0px; width:700px; height:800px; } #sitenav{ background-image:url(sitegrax/sitenavback.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; height:55px; padding-left:213px; border: 0px; margin:0px; text-align:left; } #one{ float:left; text-align:left; align:left; margin:0px; padding:0px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="banner"><img src="sitegrax/banner.jpg" alt=" yellow Jacket dodging a 355 smoothbore slug" border="0" /> </div> <div id="sitenav" > <div id="one"><a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_game_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation games" border="1" /></a> <a href="" align="left"><img src="sitegrax/bt_history_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation history" border="1" /></a> <a href=""><img src="sitegrax/bt_pilot_nav.jpg" alt="site navigation pilot"border="1" /></a></div> </div> </div> </body> </code> Problem: There is a 5 to 6 pixel space between each image that I would like gone. The 1px border around each image is there to show the edge of each image. thank you for your time Hi this is my first post. I'm having trouble making a horizontal navbar with a picture background. here is the vertical menu. http://school(dot)timswildwackyemporium(dot)com/NewMouseOver/navtest.html replace (dot)s with period I want to make the buttons next to each other, but with about 10px space in between them. Thanks. How do I create a div with a horizontal overflow? I have a div box which is 150px high and 200px wide. I need it to fill up the height and then overflow to the right so I can scroll it horizontally. The div box contains thumbnail images. www. cooperworkskilns.com The CSS worked well for a vertical navbar, but I haven't gotten it to work horizontally. I added a float:left to see if it would do it. This isn't working in IE. Lol, its created a rather interesting stairstep effect. Is there a way to make it span evenly across the page without adjusting the width of each <li>? Also, for some reason the footer <div> margin isn't working in FF. If you look at IE vs FF, there is much more space above the Copyright line. #navbar ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; } #navbar li { margin: 0 0 0 0; } #navbar a { float:left; display: block; text-align:center; color: #000; background-color: #FFF; width: 9em; padding: .2em .8em; text-decoration: none; border-top: 1px solid #fff; border-left: 0px solid #000; border-right: 1px solid #000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; } #navbar a:hover { background-color: #003366; color: #FFF; border-top: 1px solid #fff; border-left: 0px solid #000; border-right: 1px solid #000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; } I think I have the basics down to making my ul navigation list display as a nav bar. The rules I am using are
Code:
div#navigation
{
background: #7799aa;
color: #ffffff;
margin: 4px 0 0 0;
}
div#navigation ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 8px; }
div#navigation ul li { margin-right: 50px; width: 200px; display: inline; }
div#navigation ul li a { color: #ffffff; width: 400px; }
div#navigation ul li a:hover { background: #255599; }
and the corresponding html Code:
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="/" title="The Company">Company</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Our Solutions">Projects</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="What We Do">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Contact Us">Contact</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="/" title="What people are saying">Testimonials</a></li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- navigation -->
Now, the problem is that I am trying to make the links seem like "buttons" or blocks. I cannot get them to a) have a width; or b) expand to the width of the list item (which I cannot give a specified width to either). I am still working with the design in firefox so I haven't ventured into getting it to work in IE. The XHTML is completely valid as is the rest of the stylesheet. I can post more if necessary, but does anyone have a bone? |
