CSS - Div Alignment (original Post In Html Forum)
Here is my code
Code: <html> <head> <style> div.menu { border: 1px solid #F3F3F3; padding: 5px; width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="menu"> <table style="width:100%"> <tr> <td>Test</td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html> What i am trying to do is set the division to align in the center of the screen. At the moment it is aligning on the left hand side. Why is this code not working? Similar TutorialsI would like to post on another forum with CSS. Is there any way to do this? I already have the content laid out with css in my html editor and just wanna transfer it to a forum as a forum post. I suspect forums don't allow css so just wondering if there's a way around this. Appreciate the help, JH I am trying to set up my post using a wordpress template I found on alexking.org called Blue Radiant. All was going well until I decided to make a few test news posts and it started doing something funky. http://www.unlimitedzelda.net If you view the site in Internet Explorer, it's fine. However if you view it in FireFox, you can see that all but the most current news post gets pushed under the left nav bar. I can't figure why and I hope someone else will be able to help me out. Any input is greatly appreciated. Hello Is there a way i can restore my <a href> link back to its original color, that is before the a:visited event, when I click on another link? PS. no Javascript code needed, is their an alternative in css? With all the hype these days about finally meeting CSS specs and designing without tables, I think this topic needs more focus. What do you think? Hello all - I am trying to implement tabs to my forum, I currently have some on there but I like the looks better of the new ones that I am trying to get going. I find that when I get them working (using additional CSS as well as navbar/header edit) it will not work in all browsers. If I post the CSS as well as the navbar/header code would you be able to help me track down my issue? EDIT - I was going to post screenshots but was not permitted Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer { width: 200px; margin-top:150px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist { width:200px; clear:left; text-align:left; margin-left:0; padding-left:0; list-style:none; font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; line-height: 14px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li { margin-left:0; padding: 0px; display: block; list-style:none; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li.last { border-right: 0; background:none; } a.linkText { padding: 10px; display: block; color : #444444; font-family : arial; font-size : 11px; font-weight : bold; text-decoration : none; height:25px; } a.linkText:link { color : Aqua; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:visited { color : Maroon; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:hover { color : Blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item One</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item two</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks Hello! First post here. I'm having a little problem with the my forums and I can't find the problem in the CSS. I was wondering if anyone here had some tips or a solution; It seems longer topic titles seem to effect how squished up the posters posts are; they get squished and pushed up to the right. I'm out of ideas and need some help. If you check any of the other posts on the forum with smaller titles, you'll notice that the posts are fine. It is definately something to do with large topic titles.. Any help would be appreciated. CSS Forum Posting Guidelines Some very important things to keep in mind before you post your question: Note that if it appears you haven't read this, we're most likely just going to point you to it. BEFORE YOU POST Before you post your question, make sure your X/HTML and css validates! Visit w3.org to validate your X/HTML and css, if you don't, that's the first thing we are going to ask you to do. Invalid X/HTML and/or css gets unpredictable results. X/HTML Validator CSS Validator Here is a sample template you can use to make sure your test code is fully functional: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <!--Don't add anything above this line, you may change the DTD to match your page--> <title>Test Page</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <!--Uncomment the following line and remove the embedded style sheet if your style is external--> <!--<link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/style.css" type="text/css" />--> <style type="text/css"> /*add your styles here, or remove this section if your styles are external*/ body{ background-color:#ffffff; } </style> </head> <body> <!--Put your x/html code here--> </body> </html> USE YOUR RESOURCES As with all forums, there's a pretty good chance your question has already been answered... but css being what it is, you may not know exactly what you are looking for. Have a look at the resources sticky, or try searching for your problem. BE DESCRIPTIVE Spell it out for us. What do you think it should look like, what does it look like now, what is it not doing "right"... It's amazing (I'm guilty too) how many people post a "Have a look at this, how do I fix it?", but they don't tell us what it's supposed to look like. PROVIDE EXAMPLES Give us a link, or paste your code... we can't read minds, especially through the net. If you are providing a link to your page, make it an actual link using the bbcode tags, rather than just pasting the URL. If your css isn't embedded or inline, provide a link to it too, or paste it if it's not too big. USE A DESCRIPTIVE TOPIC NAME Topics which are simply... CSS Problem Please Help IE not working! Won't get many responses, try and come up with something a little more descriptive... Getting rid of space around floated divs in IE My footer won't stay at the bottom By the way, these are examples of problems that can be searched for... ALL PROBLEMS, BIG and SMALL Remember that the C in CSS stands for cascading, upper level elements have an effect on the lower level elements... If you have a large css sheet and a lot of code on your site, and one thing isn't working the way it should, chances are something else is interfering... try simplifying your code and see if it will work that way... An old debugging technique is to break it down into smaller portions in order to isolate the problem... Mod edit: Stickied, locked and posts removed. If anyone has anything they'd like to add to this guide, please feel free to PM me and I'll add it if needed. Thanks, Jon. Hi, my CMS is bridged with a forum and the body background color from the CMS is overriding the forum css. I have similar issues with the p and td tags and perhaps more small stuff. How can I resolve the conflicts so I can set the forum styles independent of my Mambo template? Here is an example (body color issue) CMS code: Code: body { margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px; padding: 0; font: 101.5%/1.4em "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Verdana, Helvetica; letter-spacing: normal; background: #232323 url(../images/body_bg.png) repeat-x center top; color: #999;} Forum code: Code: body { font: 90%/85% Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background: #666666; margin: 0; padding: 12px 0 4px 0; } I have a layout that has text in a left div and the form input in the right. I want the form input to be 100% width of DIV.standard_field_right not 100% width of the entire page. Can someone give me a hint please. CSS and XHTML below: PHP Code: DIV.standard_field_container { width: 98%; padding: 0.4em; border: 1px solid #8B8B8B; background-color: #E2E2E2; overflow: hidden; } DIV.standard_field_left { width: 10em; float: left; margin-right: 5em; font: bold 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } DIV.standard_field_right { font: normal 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } SPAN.standard_field_type_info { font-weight: normal; color: #ff0000; border-bottom: 1px dashed #ff0000; cursor: help; } INPUT.input_text_field { width: 30em; } XHTML: PHP Code: <div class="standard_field_container"> <div class="standard_field_left"> <span class="standard_field_name"><?php echo $field_definition[1]; ?></span> <span class="standard_field_type_info" title="<?php echo $field_definition[7]; ?>">Information</span> </div> <div class="standard_field_right"> <span class="standard_field_input_area"><input name="<?php echo $field_definition[0]; ?>" type="text" id="<?php echo $field_definition[0]; ?>" maxlength="<?php echo $field_definition[10]; ?>"<?php if ($value_applies == '1') { ?> value="<?php echo $row["$field_definition[0]"]; ?>" <?php } ?> class="input_text_field" /></span> </div> </div> What is your go-to forum for web design (HTML, CSS, JScript, PHP)? I hate to be so spread out across a ton of forums around the same topic, but have yet to find a forum that seems to be very active. Which do you think have huge active communities of knowledgeable designers/developers? I've got an odd bug in IE7 that's got me completely stumped. I'm using drupal for sort of an art/comic site, and I've built my own theme off of the Zen theme, for anyone who's familiar with it. My main page works just fine. Once I get to either the gallery or forum things start to collapse and get weird. My sidebar loses it's positioning, and the width of the list items in the unordered list shrink down to the size of the image or tex they contain, rather than extending to fill their container. The only consistency I can find here is that they're both using unordered lists, but beyond that I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried to go through and swat any obvious CSS and HTML errors, so any advice or insight on this would be much appreciated. eta: looks like I can't post an opening topic with links yet, so I'll have to post them as a reply or something. HI, I'm trying to get a line of text to lineup with a textbox using css. The code I have is as follows: Code: .row { height: 30px; vertical-align: text-top; } .formField { border: 1px solid #666; width: 150px; background: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; } <body> <div class="row"> xxxxx: <input type="text" class="formField"> </div> </body> The textbox is sitting just above the text. How can I get them lined up properly? Been trying to get these divs to align but with no success. Can someone be so kind to show me how to get the XHTML/CSS to look like the attachment below...

I would like it to be equally space relative to the placement of the content column. Any help would be appreciated.
