CSS - Aligning Text In Columns
Similar TutorialsHi all, I am having trouble getting my third column to sit in place correctly. Here is the code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> <!-- saved from url=(0051)http://www.jonra.com/css-demos/css-layout-demo.html --> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>CSS layout using divs</TITLE> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="" name=Keywords> <META content="" name=Description> <STYLE type="text/css" media="all"> @import url( css/commonSite.css ); </STYLE> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2668" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV class="panelS"> <DIV class="colOne"><IMG src="images/nav_sites.gif" align="right" alt=""> <DIV class="colTwo"> <DIV class="linkS"> <A href="http://homepages.com/" target="_parent">homepages.com</A> | <A href="http://homepages.com/" target="_parent">homepages.com</A> | <A href="http://homepages.com/" target="_parent">homepages.com</A> | <A href="http://homepages.com/" target="_parent">homepages.com</A> </DIV> <DIV class="colThree"></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </BODY></HTML> Code: .panelS { BACKGROUND-COLOR: #adadad; WIDTH: 760px; position: absolute; } .colOne { FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: medium; LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 85px; COLOR: #ffffff; HEIGHT: 21px; position:relative; } .colTwo { FONT-SIZE: medium; LEFT: 85px; WIDTH: 475px; HEIGHT: 21px; background-color:#FF6633; position:relative; } .colThree { FONT-SIZE: medium; LEFT: 560px; WIDTH: 200px; COLOR: #ffffff; HEIGHT: 21px; position:relative; background-color:#00CCCC; } .linkS { FONT: bold 10px Verdana; COLOR: #fff; TEXT-ALIGN: right; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .linkS A:link { FONT: bold 10px Verdana; COLOR: #fff; TEXT-ALIGN: right; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .linkS A:visited { FONT: bold 10px Verdana; COLOR: #fff; TEXT-ALIGN: right; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .linkS A:hover { FONT: bold 10px Verdana; COLOR: #0055c3; TEXT-ALIGN: right; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } I was wanting all the columns side by side. Any ideas where i might be going wrong? Cheers http://206.169.23.2/index3.htm http://206.169.23.2/style3.css The two columns are as far apart from each other as they can be. I want them to centered, and next to each other. How can this be done? I used float:right; and float:left for starters but I can not get the columns any closer to each other. Any help is greatly appreciated, - mike I am redesigning my site, changing it from 2 columns to 3. I can't seem to get the 3rd column where I want it. See: http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/jw09/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/ My goal is to make the grey "Get Started Now" box to the far right, the text in the center, and the nav buttons to the left. Is it possible to do this by only modifying the CSS? If I have to change the HTML it will create a TON of work in recoding my templates. I am not sure if this is a problem that can be solved with css or not. I have recently switched from straight html to php and have no experience in css. Basically I split my pages into 5 separate areas. Header, footer, right column, left column and center column. The problem that I am running into is that the header and footer are in the right spot on the page but the left, right and center columns are way off. Here is a link to my site OWPT I have my problem, with an example, explained in more detail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi guys, I finally re-jigged all my CSS somewhat along with my site laoy, i now have 3 columns, one of which displays under the other two :S any ideas on what i've done here? the page in question is: http://wakefieldfhs.co.uk:8180/uPhoto/signup.jsp Thanks Hi... Not sure how to title this message, but here's the problem: I've got a site that has three columns of variable length text. Each column must have a 2px left border. No problem so far. Under each column of text, I must align a block of links. These blocks must align along the top link. The borders must continue from the top of the text to the bottom of the links. Does this make sense? The problem I have is the border is only solid on the column with the longest amount of text and breaks on the shorter ones. I can get this to work by setting a fixed height for the text, but that doesn't seem like a great solution as it would have to be changed as the text length changes. my CSS: Code: .box {border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; width: 254px; float: left; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;} .txt {font: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;} .linkscontainer {width: 853px; clear: both;} .linkbox1 {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;} .linkbox {bottom: 0px; position: relative; border-left: 2px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; float: left; width: 254px;} my html: Code: <html> <head> <link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="box"><div class="txt>">aldfjlaf lj ladfjklafj l flj adlj l <br /> <p>afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf <br /> afljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alfafljlaf lj fljf lf ljf lj dflj asdflj alf</p> </div> </div> <div class="linkscontainer"> <div class="linkbox1">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> <div class="linkbox">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> <div class="linkbox">link 1<br /> link 2<br /> link 3<br /> link 4<br /> </div> </div> </body> </html> Thanks for any help! :grimey 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.

I can manually split the list into 3 columns of equal length, but that only works as long as the list doesn't change length and the window is the right size. Is there a way to have a single long list and automatcally show it in 3 newspaper style columns? Thanks Richard so I have a side menu & main content inside a main container which has background so it looks like side menu & main content have diff. backgrounds and they all of same height.. Problem: I would like to add something to the BOTTOM of the side menu but am not able to do so.. this text has to appear at the bottom of the page even if content of side menu is less.. I could do "position:absolute" and give it top:870. but this is not dynamic as when the main content is larger it appears this text is in the MIDDLE rather than at the bottom? I have a menu that I'm working on which uses <A> elements for the menu items. I've given these A elements height and width dimensions and background images which works pretty well -- except the text in these A elements is top-aligned. I've tried adding a vertical-align directive in my CSS but this doesn't seem to do anything at all. I'd also like to add a bit of space around the text. Is this possible? here's a bit of my CSS: Code: ul.menu li a { width: 295px; height: 59px; background: url(button_bg.jpg) no-repeat; display: block; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: none; } Code: <ul> <li>Some text<div class="right">right</div></li> <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 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? 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 How do you go about vertically aligning text in a <div> tag that is 200px in height? 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 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 <img src="beatles.jpg"> 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! 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) { ?> <a href="../admin/index.php">Admin Panel</a> <?php } ?> <a href="../members/myaccount.php">My Account</a> <a href="index.php?Logout">Logout</a> <?php } else { ?> <a href="../members/register.php">Register</a> <a href="../members/forgotten.php">Recover Your Password</a> <?php } ?> </div> <!-- End: snippetSideLine --> Code: <!-- start: elementTopPage --> <style type="text/css"> #wrapper { text-align: left; vertical-align: text-bottom; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; border:0; width: 850px; } #side-a { float: left; width: 458px; height: 167px; background: url('../images/top_left.jpg') no-repeat; } #side-b { float: right; width: 168px; height: 167px; vertical-align: text-bottom; vertical-align: baseline; background: url('../images/top_right.jpg') no-repeat; } #content { float: left; width: 224px; height: 167px; background: url("../images/top_bg.jpg") repeat; } </style> <!-- elementTopPage --> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="container"> <div id="side-a"> <?php $this->Snippet ('SideLine'); ?> </div> <div id="content"> </div> <div id="side-b"> email pye </div> </div> </div> <!-- End: elementTopPage --> the text on the left of the picture goes "in" a little bit to the image as can be seen he in firefox. http://www.925-sterling-silver-jewe...ls.php?id=sl211 in IE its ok but its in middle! and yeah i know my css is lacking but i plan to do it all in css once i finish my implementation (php) PHP Code: <div style="float:left; position: relative; width: 255px; height: 215px; z-index: 1; left: 5px; top: 5px" id="layer1"> <img border="0" width="255" height="215" src="images/<?php echo $product; ?>.jpg" > </div> <h2><span style="text-indent:0.5in">Detailed Information</span></h2> <b>Weight:</b> <?php echo $row['weight']; ?> <br/><? if($row['category'] == Anklets) { ?> <b>Diameter:</b><?php echo $row['diameter']; } else if($row['category'] == Bracelets) { ?> <b>Diameter:</b><?php echo $row['diameter']; ?> <br/> <b>Width:</b><?php echo $row['width']; } else if($row['category'] == Necklaces) { ?> <b>Width:</b><?php echo $row['width']; ?> <br/> <b>Length:</b><?php echo $row['length']; } else if($row['category'] == Sets) { ?> <b><span style="color:red">not sure</span> <? } How does one align the text to the left of a div? I have "text-align:left;" specified, however the text is centered when it is too narrow to fill the screen. The URL of the page in question is http://what-is-what.com . If you type an illegal character, such as "=", in the Ask box then the narrow text that is returned appears centered. Other narrow pages on the same site do the same, of course.
