CSS - Center Body
I am trying to center the whole page. the body contains all divs, contained in one main div. I tried I trick I have been using for a while but it messed with one the other divs. I was using
Margin-Left:-375px; Position:Absolute; Left:50%; any ideas for another way to center my page? Similar TutorialsI have googled it and searched through this forum as well. And found pretty much the same advice. However it does not appear to work for me. My CSS file has the following: Code:
body {
padding: 0;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 15px;
text-align: center;
}
.largeLink{
font-size: 14px;
}
.bodyTextSm{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;}
div#pageContainer{
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;
}
...
and my php file contains: Code:
<body bgcolor="#000000" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('/images/TopNav_r1_c1_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c3_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c4_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c5_f2_online_movies.gif','/images/TopNav_r2_c6_f2_online_movies.gif')">
<?php include_once("GoogleAnalytics.php") ?>
<!--The following section is an HTML table which reassembles the sliced image in a browser.-->
<!--Copy the table section including the opening and closing table tags, and paste the data where-->
<!--you want the reassembled image to appear in the destination document. -->
<div id="pageContainer">
...
And I am not getting the page to center. What gives? Hi folks, don't usually post in the CSS forum here, but in the php forum I have got great help so give it a go. Basically I need to know how to center two divs on a page which themselves have float:left attribute. When I set text-align:center on the body a couple of other divs aligned perfectly so I did not have to worry about different res's. But I need these two divs (leftnav and content) next to each other and acheived this by setting the float:left attribute. The CSS code is below, I hope you can help, i have tried but these two divs in one outer div (without any float set) but didn't work. Code:
body
{
font-family: "Lucida Sans";

Thanks very much. I am using the following code how do I change it so that it would show up in the center of the brower window? Thanks Tim PHP Code: <div style="position: absolute; left: 0px; z-index: 1; top: 0px; align: center\"> <object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0 ,0\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" id=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\"> <param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /> <param name=\"movie\" value=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" /> <param name=\"loop\" value=\"false\" /> <param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /> <param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /> <param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /> <embed src=\"ads/cardio3.swf\" loop=\"false\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"544\" height=\"396\" name=\"cardio\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /> </object> </div> 'Ello, I have a slight problem with some CSS I am using, it works perfectly fine in other browsers but in IE 6 it doesn't. What I basically want is the body of the page to have a 10pixel margin on the left and right of the page and 0 at the top and bottom, this bit I can do. I also want everything on the page to stretch from the end of each margin (so they basically start 10 pixels in from the left and 10 pixels in from the right), which I have got working fine. Now what I am trying to do is have one div layer stretching from the very left to the very right of the page and I am getting a bit stuck on it. What I have managed to do is set that div layer to be absolute positioning so I can use "left: 0px;" to get it all the way up against the left hand edge, but how can I get it right up against the left hand edge? I am sure if I set it to be the width of the page so for example if the page is 500 pixels wide and I use "width: 500px;" it would go from end to end, but what I want is it to go from end to end no matter what the width of the window is. For the rest of the layers that are not going from end to end but are staying within the body margins I used "width: 100%;" which works fine, but when I try it with the one that I want to go from end to end it only goes up to the body margin, but right to the end, well in IE it does anyway other browsers are fine with it. Does anyone know how to get around this? I have tried looking on the net but I can't find anything on it. All help will be greatly welcome. Thank you in advance, El Barto. Hi, Does anyone knows how i can have css style in the body. The whole coding part should be in the body. I need show link which have the same propertise in a PHP code and I am just editing it. I am trying to work it around this way. I juts want to have link to another page with different font and font folor change when hover. Can someone show me how i can do this. I am new to css. Please help me. Please look at http://www.mts-diesel.com / index.php I have a 25px div (#topmargin) that I want flush against top of screen. I assigned padding & margin to both div & body elements but for some reason the I can see about 3px of the body bg above the div #topmargin. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tom Hi all, I would like to be able to have the body background change when moving from page to page. Is it possible, without javascript. Code: body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
background: url(blue2.jpg) fixed;
} {
Specifically the surrounding blue2.jpg that frames the page. page link css link Thanks. I am currently setting the body id of my pages to highlight what item I am on... Such as: body#news #news_tab a, { border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; background: #fff; color: #000; } But I was wondering if it was also possible to somehow make a div appear (changing display from hidden to block) by putting an id in the body tag....But since the div isn't a link, for some reason I can't make it work. I tried: Adding this div: <div id="news" style="display:none">Testing Me</div> Adding this body tag: <body id="news"> And then adding this style definition: body#news #news { display: block; } but it still doesn't display. Is this just not possible? Is there anyway around it? Thanks! Hi there, I am trying to define the body text for all my pages using this, but it is not recognising it: Code:
body{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
line-height: 150%;
}
Have I got something wrong here?! I'm a novice with CSS and HTML so the following may seem elementary to most of you. I'm a retail vitamin store owner with a website, (URL address blocked: See forum rules) . We do very well with our store front and are getting better and better with our online discount vitamin store. Our web master has programmed our site so we can easily insert new products. This is done in the <body>. Recently I've wanted to add some spice with color and formatting . At first I was doing this with something like <FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="4" color="006600">. But now as I get into CSS and double checking all code with W3.org, it doesn't like this approach. Now I'm trying <span id="enzymatic" class="prod_description"> in the <body> with span#enzymatic p { color: green; } span#enzymatic h4{ color: blue; } etc. in a CSS definition file. It all works well, but W3.org still doesn't like where I've inserted the code. If you go to our page: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)=country-life-seniority-multivitamin You will get among other "errors" the following message: <h4>Seniority ™ Multi-Vitamin Capsules </h4> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). Any hints as to what basic rules I'm breaking? Be kind. Many thanks, healthyphil Dear all, I am willing to develop a div tag, which will cover the entire body tag. The code I am using is the following: Code: <div id="warningLayer" style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#000000; opacity: 0.5; z-index:999999999; display:block; overflow:visible;"> </div> Unfortunately, the HTML page covers more that the browser window, hence when the visitor scrolls down the page, the body remains uncovered. How could I fix this issue? Thank you in advance. Hi guys I've seen a few websites that use a fixed width column in the middle of the screen that appear to cast a shadow over the background. I want to achieve that but I can't figure out how. The central div is 800px wide so I tried creating a very wide but short background image with this image on but I can't position it bang in the middle where I need it (the image is 2400x8px and 1.46KB) Can anyone help? Either with the positioning of this image or with a better solution? Cheers guys At the moment, my BODY tag contains the following CSS: Code:
BODY {
background: url(images/gradients/bg_top.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
The bg_top.jpg file is an image 200px high, and 3px wide. This displays nicely at the top of my page. It is a gradient from dark grey which fades out to a pattern of simple squares. I would then like these squares to be repeated across the whole of my background. What I wanted to do was to set a second background image that would display underneath the gradient, but this didn't appear to work. Looking around Google, it appears that you can only set the one background for the body tag. Is this the case? If so, is it possible to set it up so that the square pattern repeats itself across the whole page, but underneath the gradient at the top? Many thanks. hello friends, please tell me how can i specify a hyperlink, active, hover and visited attribute in body { } for example i have the following css BODY { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-color: #F2F2F2; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; text-align: left; } now i want to specify the default hyperlink with active, hover and visited attribute within body. Thx. My problem is that I need to get the Body Background color that is in a css file using php to then introduce this color to an applet. My CSS file has: BODY { FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: #6699ff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #CC6699; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #FFFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #CC6699; FONT-FAMILY: "Times", serif; } But I use different CSS so very time I change the file I need to know in the php page what BACKGROUND-COLOR it has. Hey New to the site, I thought it would be a good place to ask a question or two... I am trying to have a repeating background as well as an overlapping body image at the top. I keep failing, I can only get one or the other working. Here is the only part I know works 100% Code: <style type="text/css"> body { margin:0px; 0px; 0px; 0px; background: url(images/topbg1.png) no-repeat 50% 0%; min-height:106px; position:relative; } </style>
Any help you can give I would greatly appreciate, thanks... Hi, I'm trying to create a border around the body, no matter how wide the window is. Here is an example:click here You will notice that the right hand border is to far right. He's the css for the body tag: Code: body {
background-image: url(images/bkg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "bitstream vera sans", "trebuchet";
background-color: #414548;
border-style:solid;
border-width:24px;
border-color:#414548;
border-bottom-width:200px;
width:98%;
height:100%;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
}
I think the problem isn't in the body CSS, but maybe some place else. I can't figure it out. Can someone help? thanks is there a way to make all text on a page a certain size unless otherwise noted, this is what i have and its not working and im not sure how else to do it body { margin:0px; font-size: 10px; } or would i have to do it for each "span" or "div" "p" i have? |
