CSS - Horizontal List Menu: Aligning Elements Left And Right
I am a bit new to CSS and am currently in the process of converting a design over to CSS2 and have run into come difficulty.
I've created a list based horizontal menu and I want elements to align to both the left and right ends. Simply by adding "float:left" to most of the elements and "float: right" to others, I was able to get it to work, but strangely only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. The latter seems to drop my right aligned image onto the next line. For the offending code, please see: http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/top_menu_v1.html http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/css/right_menu_v1.css Also, any suggestions on the code would be highly appreciated. I have no doubt its more verbose than needed. Similar TutorialsFor some reason, I cannot get my 2 form elements to line up as far as height is concerened. No matter what I try, one is always slightly taller than the other, even if I set both to the same height. Any ideas? Code: input[type="text"], select { color:#888888; font-size:10px; height:auto; } 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: .nav2 {clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans serif; font-size: 1.0em;} .nav2 ul {float: left; width: 900px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-top: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); border-bottom: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); background-color: rgb(127,162,202); font-weight: bold; white-space:nowrap} .nav2 li {display: inline; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;} .nav2 li a {display: block; float: left; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; border-right: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); color: rgb(255,255,255); text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none; font-size: 100%;} .nav2 a:hover, .nav2 a.selected {color: rgb(50,50,50); text-decoration: none;} .buffer {clear: both; width: 900px; height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255,255,255);} HTML Code: Code: <div class="nav2"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="missions.html" class="selected">CAP Missions</a></li> <li><a href="sqinfo.html">Squadron Info</a></li> <li><a href="commanderscorner.html">Commander's Corner</a></li> <li><a href="resources.html">Member Resources</a></li> <li><a href="pics.html">Photo Gallery</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="sitemap.html">Sitemap</a></li> </ul> </div> I have been trying to write a horizontal CSS nav menu for my website thinkmarriage.org/catalog/ based on some code I found. The menu seems to work great, except: 1. it is adding what looks like 30ish pixels of padding on the left side of the menu. I have tested in FF, IE, and Safari, all do the same thing. The code is CSS 2.1 validated. The link to my sample is: thinkmarriage.org/menu2.html 2. When I add the menu into my actual store, in FF it works, but IE turns the horizontal nav into vertical drop boxes. I was pretty sure the style sheets were conflicting with one another, but now the bar is working in FF, and I can't seem to find any problems. The two style sheets are : #1 (for the menu) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/menustyle.css and #2 (for the site) : thinkmarriage.org/catalog/stylesheet.css The link to the site is above. If anyone has any thoughts as to where the extra padding is coming from or the conflict with the sheets in IE, I would greatly appreciate it. (Sorry, the rules won't permit me to place hyperlinks) 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 Heya! I am really new to html - creating my first website for uni course now. My problem is with the menu I have created - it's basically 5 div's with list within list in them. so that the deeper list is a sub-menu, displaying on hover on the first one. The problem appears only in IE9 compatibility view, it works in IE9,8,7,firefox and chrome. this is the html: <div id="ourproject"> <ul> <li>OUR<br> PROJECT <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Project Overview</a></li> <li><a href="Introduction.html">Introduction</a></li> <li><a href="participants.html">Participants</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> and my css: #ourproject ul { position:relative; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; width: 102px; top:0px; left:0px; height:86px; list-style:none; float:left; padding-left:20px; border-left-width: 3px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: #FFF; } #ourproject ul:hover { color:#FF9900; border-left-color: #F90; padding-left:20px; } #ourproject ul ul { position:relative; visibility:hidden; z-index:2000; background-color:#0E1221; font-size: 12px; width: 602px; display: inline-block; height: 45px; float: left; top:25px; left:-23px; } #ourproject ul li { display: inline-block; margin-right:30px; height: 25px; float: left; margin-top:4px; width: 125px; } #ourproject ul:hover ul { visibility:visible; } #ourproject ul ul li{ width:80px; padding: 0; text-align:left; } In IE9 compatibility view, the menu is distorted. I have tried playing with widths of the #ourproject ul, changed it to 50px and turned on overflow:hidden. It made the other divs jump in, but there is a weird blank space bwteen where the div is cut off bu overflow, and the place where next one starts. I have tried to put in links with photos, but forum does not allow me to. please if someone can help me, i will send them on e-mail or pm, if needed. I hope to get some answer soon! Please ask any more question if you need to- i will be happy to answer. Thanks in advance. Hi, I have a site with a horizontal menu bar that has a submenu that pops up with the top menu is hovered over. I've got everything working fine, except for one little thing; in Firefox the submenu is vertically aligned instead of horizontally. For once IE has gotten it right (or at least the way I want it) by positioning the sub menu horizontally. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the sub menu to flow horizontally in FF. I've tried display: inline and float: left and all kinds of things but nothing seems to affect it. My site is here http://www.soton.ac.uk/~rollhock/new/index3.php And the css file http://www.soton.ac.uk/~rollhock/new/includes/style.css If anyone is able to help I will be eternally grateful! Thanks 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 Have a look at this and tell me what's causing the navigation not to align. http://n.1asphost.com/wheelofgod/se...t/spokelist.asp 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. Tested in Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Ubuntu. I'm trying to align an image, header, and some text that is right aligned all on the same row. I've been reading so much about inline and block elements that my head feels like it's going to explode. It would look like this: Code: Picture - Header Text over here I'm not sure if everything should be span inside one class or what. I'm very confused. Please help a noob. Hi, I am pretty new to the whole CSS thing and have had a look around for an answer to no avail. I am trying to align all the widgets for my wordpress theme to the left because my screen resolution is set to 2560 x 1440, they seem to wrap when my browser window is maximised. is there any way to stop this so that they stay underneath one another even when the screen is maximised? my website is at grandfunghi.com thanks in advance, J In my footer I'm having a problem with my links aligning left. I'm not sure how I would go about coding it so that Promotional Kit aligns left underneath Headshot v2. I tried text-align: left in ul, li, and in the footer link section but nothing. I may need to change the layout all together which is fine, but I could use your help.

It was easy horizontally and vertically centering the tan rectangle, but for the life of me I can't get the green sliding panel where I want it, and have it otherwise horizontally and vertically centered at all times. How I want it: Example I think the problem may be a conflict between the javascript that enables the sliding function of the green panel and the CSS trying to center it. The javascript demands absolute positioning of the two divs (the part that says "PORTFOLIO" and the part that slides right), because that's what tells the sliding panel where to slide and expand to. However, the CSS demands relative positioning, in order to position the panel a percentage down the page, and half its height in pixels back up again, as well as the horizontal alignment. Below is the source code for the site. At the moment, the sliding panel (its code is shown in blue) is set to be in the top left corner of the site, but it obviously isn't. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <head> <title></title> <style type='text/css'> body, html { height:100%; } #container{ height:100%; text-align: center; } #panel { width: 700px; height: 500px; position:relative; top:50%; margin-top:-257px; left:50%; margin-left:-350px; } body { background-image: url(bg3.gif); } </style> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="panel"><img src="work.png"></div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="Animation.js"></script> <div style="position:relative; width:350px; height:520px; top:0px; left:0px;"> <div id="exampleHeader" style="position:absolute; width:50px; height:500px; top:0; left:0px; background:#298b12; text-align:center; color:#FFFFFF; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 25px; -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 25px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 25px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 25px;" onclick="runAnimation(animationObject, this)"> <img src="pf.png"> </div> <div id="examplePanel" style="position:absolute; width:0px; height:500px; top:0px; left:50px; background:#ac926d; background-image: url(pbg.gif); background-position:right top; overflow:hidden; -moz-border-radius-topright: 25px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 25px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 25px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 25px;" align="center" overflow:hidden;"> Content </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var animationObject = new AnimationObject('examplePanel'); animationObject.AddFrame(new AnimationFrame(50, 0, 210, 500, 400)); function runAnimation(animation, header) { if(header.check) { animation.RunBackward(); header.check = false; } else { animation.RunForward(); header.check = true; } } </script> </body> </HTML> I just can't seem to get my code to work. Can anybody offer any help to solve this problem? I'd really appreciate it. I have a logo and would like to align an H1 and an H2 beside it. So, I would have: Code: | H1 text image| | H2 text If I add a display inline to both elements, I get the H2 beside the H1 instead of under. If I add it to only the H1, I get the H1 beside the image, and the H2 under the image.

I've been using Firefox for testing, and haven't noticed anything wrong. However, when I checked it in IE8, text that I have explicitly left-aligned is now sitting centred on my page. I have validated the code, and there are no problems. I'm just confused... Here is my code: Code: <span style="text-align:left;">Jarryd Pearson</span><br /><br /> <table align="left"> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Phone: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Mobile: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Email: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="contact"> Postal Address: </td> <td class="contact"> #### </td> </tr> <tr class="rule"> <td colspan="2"> <hr /> </td> </tr> </table> And here's my CSS: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background: #0d1866; color: #CCCCCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; } a { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } paypal { border: none; } img.footer { border: none; width: 88px; height: 31px } td.contact { vertical-align:top; } tr.rule { padding: 0px; } /* DIVS */ div#main { padding: 2px; margin: 2px; } div#text { width: 650px; height: 370px; vertical-align: top; overflow: auto; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 10px; } I apologise if this has been posted before. I did a search, and couldn't seem to find this particular issue. If someone has already posted this, please point me in their direction! Thanks Jarryd Hi. I'm reasonably new to tableless-design, and i've run into the common problem of aligning one bit of text to the left of a line and another to the right. I have searched the web and have found several means of achieving this, but in my case there is an image combined with a inline list (horizontal menu) that needs to be aligned left, and another combination of text and images to the right. | [image] text .... right-side text | This might seem rather simple, but it becomes more complicated: the entire block needs to be padded on the top in order for the text not to appear cramped up at the top, and the left-margin and right-margin of the image is then set to the corresponding negative values in order for it to still be displayed precisely in the top left corner. I have found this to be the only cross-browser compatible method. All the methods I have experimented with to align the two sides on left and right have either resulted in the image and text to be incorrectly (vertically) aligned or be displayed in different lines, even when the image is not used as part of the alignment-method. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx Hello, I have a table with two columns and I want it a certain distance from the left side and right side. The distance on the left is a lot more than the right. I added a margin to it and it pushed it off the screen to cause a horizontal scroll. I tried putting a width on the table, but it wouldn't work for some reason and then tried a negative and positive margin on the right side with no avail. I am stuck. Any ideas on how to negate the pussing of a margin? |
