CSS - Centering A Div Inside A Div
I am trying to simulate a vertical table using divs and css, but I can't figure out how to center elements.
How do I center (horizontal and vertical) these 3 boxes inside the 3 frames? Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.frame {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 2px solid black;
}
.box1 {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-color: red;
}
.box2 {
width:100px;
height:100px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.box3 {
width:150px;
height:150px;
background-color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="frame">
<div class="box1">Box 1</div>
</div>
<div class="frame">
<div class="box2">Box 2</div>
</div>
<div class="frame">
<div class="box3">Box 3</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Similar TutorialsI'm trying to center the <div class="menu"> inside the <div id="nav"> but I cannot figure out what to do exactly. I've tried so many different things with the text-align:center to putting it into a table and centering that... Nothing I try is making it go to the center. Will someone please assist me in getting this centered? EDIT: The way I have it currently, If I put text outside of the <div class="menu"> then that will be centered fine like I want the div. HMTL code Code:
<div id="nav">
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a class="hide" href="#">Top 1</a>
<ul>
<li>Sub Top 1.1</li>
<li>Sub Top 1.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="hide" href="#">Top 2</a>
<ul>
<li>Sub Top 2.1</li>
<li>Sub Top 2.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS code Code:
#nav{background-color:Blue;height:35px;width:auto;text-align:center;}
/* common styling */
.menu {font-family: arial, sans-serif; width:750px; height:100px; position:relative; font-size:11px; z-index:100;}
.menu ul li a, .menu ul li a:visited {display:block; text-decoration:none; color:#000;width:104px; height:20px; text-align:center; color:#fff; border:1px solid #fff; background:#710069; line-height:20px; font-size:11px; overflow:hidden;}
.menu ul {padding:0; margin:0; list-style: none;}
.menu ul li {float:left; position:relative;}
.menu ul li ul {display: none;}
/* specific to non IE browsers */
.menu ul li:hover a {color:#fff; background:#36f;}
.menu ul li:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; top:21px; left:0; width:105px;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a.hide {background:#6a3; color:#fff;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover a.hide {background:#6fc; color:#000;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li ul {display: none;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a {display:block; background:#ddd; color:#000;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a:hover {background:#6fc; color:#000;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; left:105px; top:0;}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul.left {left:-105px;}
My page has: 1) a left-sidebar which goes from the top-left corner and stretches down 2) a top-bar which goes from the edge of the left-sidebar and stretches all the way across to the right side of the page 3) a main content which covers the rest of the page I want to place an image in the center of the top-bar but so far it only is centered when the window is maximised...I want it to be centered no matter what size the window is. currently my css rules a Code: #topBar {
position: absolute;
height:15%;
text-align: center;
left:30%;
margin:0px auto;
}
the xhtml source code for the topBar and image is: Code: <div id="topBar"> <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p> </div> (the image id is just concerned with the size of the image at this time) any suggestions as to how to I can have the image centered within the <div>? some bright spark on Yahoo Answers failed to spot that I'm using xhtml (which tbf is only mentioned once) and told me to try: Code: <div id="topBar"> <p><center><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></center></p> </div> or Code: <div id="topBar" align="center"> <p><img src="../logo1.jpg" alt="..." id="sirgLogo"/></p> </div> Unless I'm mistaken, these are possibilities which will cause w3's validator to throw up an error. For the record I'm using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and I presume my doctype declaration is correct as it was automatically generated by dreamweaver when I first made the document!

How can i align the image int he middle?? 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, I have tried to use the auto margin to center a div within a div, but the auto margin only seems to work on the outermost div. Is there a workaround where I can center my content inside of a nested div? Take the example code: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: orange;
}
#container {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
}
#nested {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="nested">
Text Here
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So I want the nested div to have its content centered, so "Text Here" is in the center. Hi there, I am trying to center a div within a div. The container div needs to stretch 100% width. It works in FF, but not IE. Any ideas? This is my code: PHP Code: #top_bar{ background-image: url('img/top_bar.jpg'); height: 54px; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; color: #ffffff; width: 100%; } #top_bar_content{ padding: 18px 0 10px 0px; width: 870px; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; } This list is a navigation bar that displays tabs horizontally. I can't seem to figure out what properties I need to use to center it correctly. I have 2 problems: 1. How can I get these list items centered? 2. the second level seems to have problems displaying horizontally in IE. How can I fix it? Code: <div id="tablenavcontainer">
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/doctors/enroll/" rel="self" class="" id="purple" name="patientenroll">Enroll Patient</a></li>

Hey everyone, I am fairly comfortable with HTML, and even know a decent amount of PHP and Javascript. But sometimes trying to do the simplest things in CSS makes my head spin! (this is one of those times). I've got a "scrolling" header at the top of a page (stays visible even when scrolling), and am trying to center a DIV (which contains opt-in forms) inside that header. It looks good when my browser window is maximized (at 1280x1024 resolution). But when I minimize the browser or check it in other screen resolutions, the "centering" of the opt-in forms are off. Here is the page... www.wordflood.com/Test/Scrolling_Header.html And here are the CSS includes... www.wordflood.com/Test/style.css www.wordflood.com/Test/IE6_style.css This was really just a quick hack from a "scrolling header" demo I found online, so I must have overlooked something. Any ideas? Now while I did manage to work this out with margins and paddings, I have to ask how to do it properly. It's very basic. You have blank page. No wrappers no nothing. Then 1 div, holds, 1 ul, with 20 li. The div has specified width. How to center the ul inside the div? I need the UL to NOT have specified width since I'll be adding more items to it over time. Thanks! I was wondering how I could center a CSS div so I would have one column going thorugh the middle. I tryed using "center" in the CSS but that didn't work and then I read some where else about floats and how they will make every go to either the left or right. How would I go about centering a Div like that? Thankyou for any help. Hey. I'm having issues with getting my page to center in IE7 using margin: auto; It works fine in firefox. The page is at http://jbench.co.uk:81/. The CSS is at http://jbench.co.uk:81/css/css.php . The section where i think the problem is: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #page { width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 14px 3px; min-height: 250px; font-size: 1.2em; }
#page {
Any help's appreciated. http://www.stevemedleyphotography.com/tempo/index.html What I am trying to do is make it so that the blue background is as it is already but the orange box is the full width of the window despite what resolution or window size the user has, and also is centered on the screen. -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -----ORANGE------- -----ORANGE------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- -------BLUE--------- Like that. I will be having some stuff within the orange div. I don't really know much CSS at all and am kinda guessing my way through it... poorly... Thanks for any help. Hey guys, I'm having trouble centering div boxes on my page, wondering if anyone can help. I have tried using {margin: 0 auto;} which works fine, but when the scrollbar appears on the page it knocks it off balance and the other content on the page becomes mis-aligned. I have also tried setting left margins to push the div to the middle, but I figured this would cause problems and wouldn't look right to people using higher than 1024x768 resolutions. Is there any other way? How can I, let's see how to say this. Align text to the middle of a div (up and down)... not really a center Normal: ________________________________ Text ________________________________ After: ________________________________ text ________________________________ THANKS Good day to you all, I'm working on a pop up css box.
