CSS - Vertical Aligning Text

Hi,

Does anyone know how to veritcally align text using CSS? like <tr valign='middle'> when using tables.

My page is on:
http://www.3003online.com/demos/ecoceylon/v2/

You can see a difference in the "Home - About Us - Products - Contact Us" links when viewing from IE and Mozilla Firefox.

Basically, I would like the text to be centered vertically in the bar... but CSS by default puts it on top. I tried adding padding,which helped in IE... but Firefox still shows the links a bit higher than they should be.,... any ideas how to fix this?


Also, a different problem in case anyone knows how to fix it... you can see a small brown bar on the top bar. It is 50px in height. But I have no idea how to make its width as wide as the remainder of the page (this would change with different resolutions).

The main content of the page is 760px wide. I would like a brown box next to that, which is 50px in height and the remainder width. Any ideas? "width: auto;" doesn't work unfortunately

[ this is a follow up to my previous thread
http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?t=270438

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of real estate that a form and button are taking up in my table. They are expanding the whole row and lining them up with the other contents isn't working in the CSS methods I've tried. Finally I tried reduce the font-size of the cell containing the form and button (all the way down to 1px) which gives the desired result... but I'm a bit concerned about implementing it into all the tables in the site because it seems a bit 'hacky'. Is there a better way to do this?

My Webpage

You'll see in the first table, final column containing the button, that the button and form and pushed up against the top of the cell and the other cells now have more padding.

In the second table, my "font-size:1px" has been applied and gives the desired result. Just curious if there is a better way to do this or if this is will be fine.

Ok well im new to these forums and ive been looking pretty much everywhere for help, so heres my problem. I bought a joomla template from a company, i got it then installed it, but im having one huge issue i cant seem to fix. The news is piling up next to each other instead of each new news post going above the older one in a nice neat line one post after another. Instead they just moosh together after the first post. I emailed the company and they said i had to edit the css and thats all the help i got. I have no knowledge of css and have no idea how to fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A link to my site is below as well as the template css. Please someone help me with this problem.

I'm trying to get vertical text in a menu ie

h
o
m
e

-

l
i
n
k

-

And so on how can this be done thanks

Hi,
I've seen a number of posts and web pages about this but so far have NOT found a method that conforms to the w3.orgs css standard. There seems to be a lot of interest in this and l wondered whether anyone has found a work around that is compatible on more browsers than I.E?

Ok...I am dabbling with CSS and I was wondering if there was anyway to specify your text to run bottom to top instead of left to right in a table cell.

Anyone know if it can be done?

what is the tag for writing vertical in CSS?

Hi all, I have a pesky little problem that I can not seem to figure out on my own.

I have a set up like this

PHP Code:
<span class='navitem'><a href='index.php'>
<img src='myimage.gif'>Go Home</a></span> 





My Css Code is

PHP Code:
#leftnavcontent .navitem {
    border-bottom:1px dotted #DADADA;
    font-size:12px;
    font-weight:normal;
    line-height:16px;
}

#leftnavcontent .navitem img {
    margin-right:5px;
    border:none;
} 





My problem is that the image is not aligning with the text. As in there is just a slight maybe 1 or 2 pixel border bottom from the image that makes it dip just above the navitem box which makes it look a little funky.

Any ideas?

I'd like to have a container, a row, really. And I'd like text aligned to the top of the div, and then some more text aligned to the bottom of the div, like this:

------------------------------------------
Top text



Bottom text
------------------------------------------

The thing is, I can't use tables, so if someone knows how to accomplish in a completely tableless way, I'd appreciate it!

I did try the following, but it didn't work:

Code:

.mainDiv{
	position: relative;
	float: left;
	width: 150px;
}

.mainDiv .upper {
	top: 0;
	position: absolute;
}

.mainDiv .lower {
	bottom: 0;
	position: absolute;
}

hey all,

here's my test page
http://www.pyesnflpool.com/

at the top...
Im trying to get the two links (Register & Recover Your Password) to be beside the arrows and Email Pye beside the mail image

it is running off two scripts, one for the links (snippetSideLine)and the other is holding together the header (elementTopPage)

As you can see on side-b I was making some effort to align them to the bottom with no success, my thoughts were to align to the bottom and than do a padding-bottom: 15px; or whatever, because I tried padding-top:120px to side-a which put the links in the right spot but left the rest of the page all over the place

any help is much appreciated, thanks


Code:

<!-- snippetSideLine -->
	
	<div>
	
	<?php
	
	if (isset ($this->User) && !empty ($this->User)) {
	
		if ($this->User->Type == 1) {

<li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li>
<li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li>
</ul>

I would like to alight the above divs to the right.

I tried to do something like:

.right
{
float:right;
width: 48%;
}

But that makes them seem to fall down one line and the stack funny.

I also tried to do something line:
Code:

<ul>
<li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li>
<li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li>
<li><div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div></li>
</ul>

And
Code:

.left
{
float:left;
width:48%;
}
.right
{
float:right;
width: 48%;
}

But they all sorta did wierd things I didn't understand.

Then I thought perhaps the LI weren't block elements and so that's why they were getting screwed up. So i wrapped a div around both right and left, but that didn't seem to work either.

TIA, Mark

I have a line item where I'm pulling in text and an image from a dB. I would like the text to align at the top and not sure how to do it.
Code:

<li>Song name&nbsp;<img src="beatles.jpg">&nbsp;Artist

Test page:
Played songs
I have tried margins but then the image moves and the text is always aligned at the bottom of the image.
Thanks for your help!

I currently have been trying to align an h1 tag over top of a css background image. I have tried a whole bunch of things but have returned the code back to its most basic form

My external css div looks as follows:

#content_funny{
width: 315px;
height: 51px;
background-image:url(images/funnyvideos1.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
float:left;
clear:left;
margin:0px 0px 0px 0;
display:inline;
}

My index file is as follows

<div id="content_header"><div id="content_funny"><a href="http://www.tokenhumor.com/categories/7/funny_videos.html"><h1>Funny Videos</h1></a></div>


For some reason the text in its natural state is laying differently for IE and FF, preventing me from using any positioning lines within my external style sheet.

Any help with this is much appreciated, I m pulling my hair out

I have a navigation bar that contains four images (side by side) as well as three text links. They all live within a <div> with the following properties:

#gNav {
width:768px;
height:19px;
text-align:left;
vertical-align:middle;
}


i need for the three text links to line up directly in the middle (vertically) of that <div>.

To achieve this in IE6 and NN+, I attach the following style to the text.

.nookum {
font-size:.9em;
vertical-align: 25%;
color:#FFFFFF;
}





I just learned that the vertical-align property is not recognized by IE5 and IE5.5, so in those versions, the text aligns at the bottom of the <div>.

Anyone know of any workarounds or other methods of vertically aligning text that will work in these two versions of IE?
