CSS - Vertical Centering Issues
So here's the page I'm working on:
http://johannkwan.com/about.html The HTML side is simple: Code: <div id="horizon"> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="about_content">About</div> <a href="http://www.johannkwan.com" id="back">Back</a> </div> </div> The CSS side is just a horizon bar with the wrapper in the middle, the top margin offset to half the wrapper so it'll center properly. Code: #horizon {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
margin-top: -300px;
text-align: center;
min-width: 800px;
}
#wrapper {
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Here's my problem. If you're looking at the page on anything under 800x600 (or if you resize your browser to under 600) the top bit cuts off. You can't scroll up past part-way up the image. But it's not 300px of cut off... it's some sort of distance I haven't defined, so I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong. Is there a better way to vertically center my content? Or is there just something wrong in my stylesheet I'm not seeing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Similar TutorialsI cannot figure this out. I've tried adding clear: both in several places, I've tried overflow: hidden and I've tried cursing. Nothing works! How can this be fixed so that in IE6 the divs are not staggered vertically?? Code: <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="38" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;">copy</a><br>copy</a></div> </div> <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="19" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="8" border="0"></div> </div> How can I get the text to display in the middle of these boxes (vertically)? I would think vertical-align: middle would do it, but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any help! LauraS.

I have a div that is 60px high. I want text to be centered vertically in that box. I know it is easy to do with tables, but how do you do it with css and divs? i tried using vertical-align, but that didn't seem to work. any ideas? Hello everyone, I'm trying to center a fixed size div both vertically and horizontally. Everything would work, but, as usual ... IE doesn't know how to handle it properly. Let me explain: Code:

If you copy and paste it to explorer, everything might even look good. But if you resize the browser to be just a little bit larger than the black div, you'll notice that both vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear. Why is this happening? How do i prevent IE from acting stupid? I've tested with ie6 and ie7. Can someone please explain this to me, because I'm apparently missing something. I have a div that I am using as an overlay to my site. I want this div to be 50% wide, and 50% high, and be properly centered on the screen. I was able to get horizontal centering working almost perfectly, but when it comes to vertical centering- things just don't make sense. To center, I'm setting top & left to 50% and then using margin-top and margin-left with negative values to compensate. What I assume should work (and seems to work with horizontal centering) is that if I set the margin-left to -25%, the leftmost side of my div should end up half-way between the beginning of the browser window and the center of the browser window. But if I set margin-top to -25%, by the same logic, it should move the topmost side of the div up to between the top of the browser view area and the center. But that doesn't seem to happen- at least in FF3: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
div#dialog
{
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
margin-top: -50%;
margin-left: -25%;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border-top: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-left: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-right: #FF0000 3px solid;
border-bottom: #FF0000 3px solid;
z-index: 202;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dialog"></div>
</body>
</html>
Instead what happens is the top of my div ends up at the very top of the viewing area of the browser- and actually a little bit ABOVE it (outside of the view area). WHY!? If I set the margin-top to -50%, which I would expect to place the topmost edge of the div at the very top of the browser viewing area, the div disappears entirely! Yet if I set margin-left to -50%, it appears along the left side of the browser window where I'd expect it to be. Why might this be happening? Again, obviously I'm missing something. Can someone please explain? Is there another/better way of doing this? Thanks, - skubik Hi guys. I've got a single element (image) that I want to vertically center in an otherwise blank page. Can anyone tell me how I can do this, that works with all browsers, and doesn't requite tables? http://www.waxpad.com/articles/vcexample.html I found this article on it, but joy of joys, it doesn't work in Safari on a mac! Hi, I would like to center a div inside another div (both vertical and horizontal) in such a way that the inner div would move/reside depending on the content inside it. In other words I have two divs; outerDiv and innerDiv. InnerDiv will have more html inside it and I would like innerDiv to always be in the middle of outerDiv regardless of its content. I did some research on the internet and I managed to achieve the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

However with the above code, innerDiv does not re-position it-self correctly based on its content. Is what I need possible? Regards, Sim085 Hello, i'm have a recurring problem when programming websites and it is the vertical spacing added by IE6 between two images. Here is an example template I am working on. brycecre8iv.com The lines beneath the buttons are getting an extra 10px padding at the top in IE6. Appears in order on FF2. Also for some reason the centering is not working with the main container in IE. this usually works perhaps someone can spot my errors. Thanks for any help. webg Hello, Thank you for reading my post This is what I try to create. A Vertical Navigator column with images, without knowing their size, as links and javascript actions. The images should be Horizontally centered. I want to set the width of the div 'navBar' dynamically so that the images inside the 'navElement's grows or shrink but stays in center. The images could be between 55 - 90 pixels width. And I want to have them grow or shrink between 40 - 80 px width. What I already got : The links and javascript actions are working. Also have a column working where the images are centered with a known size, but not working with images without knowing the size. I did try and search for several hours, but couldn't find a good solution. Mainly my question would be, how I can shrink or grow an image without knowing his size. Basicly my html code is Code: <div id="navBar"> <div class="navElement" id="nav1"> <img class="navImg" src="images/home.gif" /> </div> <div class="navElement" id="navN"> <img class="navImg" src="images/notHome.gif" /> </div> </div> my latest css for unknown image size Code: #navBar { /* main page navigation container */
height: 460px;
width: 70px; /* 1. this will be dynamically set */
left: 100px;
top: 151px;
position: absolute;
visibility: visible;
}
.navImg {
height: auto;
width: auto;
/* height: 60px;*/
/*width: inherit;*/
position: relative;
top:0px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#navElement1 {
position: relative;
width: auto;
height: 70Px;
top:0px;
margin:0 3px;
visibility: visible; }
With javascript I add a onclick event handler on each navImg wich trigger the action. This works to. Please, Is someone willing to help with pointers. Thanks in Advance SC my navbar is a <ul> and i jsut added image icons. i have two problems, the placement and the vertical centering. placement: well, i guess its best to show you the code and what i had to do to get it in place. i used position:relative and then changed the bottom, but why is it so obscure???

now i have one QUESTION: how do i get all the buttons to align center?????????? they all stay to the right oh, and not a huge deal, but the text is a couple pixels down so it brings the image down too. how can i make the text in the vertical middle? the line-height thing only worked so well. i am trying to vertical align the "go" button next to the text field. i've also tried to use margin's on the go button.. but it just messes up... anyhow, here is a link... http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/page2.htm thanks How's it going, If you check out http://www.trophysharkcharters.com/ you'll notice (in Firefox and Google Chrome) the top part (photo area), including the menu, doesn't center properly. I've been trying so many different things, but no dice. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Much thanks in advance. Alright, I know that there was a thread about this HERE but I went to the suggested tutorials and I am still having issues. I am new to CSS and I am basically learning from experience, so forgive me if I butchered the code. Here is what I have for my container and my body: Code: #container {
background-color:#0e0c0b;
background-image: url(images/striped2.gif);
overflow: auto;
width: 950px;
min-width: 900px
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;
border-left:1px solid #0B0B0B;
border-right:1px solid #0B0B0B;
}
body {
text-align: center;
background-color:#000000;
margin: 0px;
min-width: 950px;
}
It still won't center and I am at my wits end! please please please help me T^T Hi guys, my first post here. Just had a few questions as I'm pretty amateur at CSS. I have a website located he http : // jackboonecompany .com/index.php I want to center the entire thing vertically and horizontally regardless of browser size - however, currently, I have the website positioned using absolute positioning, because I couldn't get it working any other way (There may be a better way for this I'm sure). Is there any way to center this using that kind of positioning? Here is the css: http : // jigsaw.w3. org /css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fjackboonecompany.com%2Fmaster.css&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1 Thanks in advance - I really need a hand! Here's my next IE challenge (or frustration). It deals with the overflow attribute. Overflow property was a challenge on my page since the page emulates position fixed for IE. The present scenario deals with the pre element. Sometimes the content in the pre container exceed the parent container's width. IE expands the parent containers width as a result. The workaround for this scenario relates to the overflow property and using a wrapper with the height set to 1% . Now, IE maintains the parent container width. Apparently, the wrapper ensures that IE renders hasLayout. I am not exactly sure why it works, but it has predictable results. The workaround involves wrapping a pre element in a div, WrapOverflow. Now, you could set the overflow auto attribute on the child pre element. Apparently, the wrapper ensures that IE renders hasLayout. I am not exactly sure why it works, but it has predictable results. Firefox has no need for the wrapper and still renders the page accurately with the superfluous code. The problem relates to IE rendering pre/wrapper with a smaller height. By controlling the horizontal expansion; the workaround has somehow constrained the height as well. The net effect is a vertical scroll bar, which is not ideal. Compare the scenario in both Firefox and IE; set the browser next to each other; notice the div.WrapOverflow pre container height. Screenshots are below and review the code for a full illustration. Yes, you must be thinking change overflow auto to overflow vertical. Let's not jump to a quick conclusion. Understanding what is going on here is important as well. The pre container's height should grow in IE, but the page's complexity and various hacks muddle the scenario. I have already spent a month on this scenario, but do not have the skill to decipher what various hacks impose on my layout. Let me know if you have any good ideas, explanations, or suggestions on this situation. http://neville.f2o.org/nifty_TEMP2.html I have a small problem and I can't figure out what it is that's causing it as the CSS used to replicate the issue doesn't really give any insight as to why things are getting ****ed up. My site is: ( jump for joy I got my routers firewall to forward port 80 ) http://24.224.254.115/~wayne/moorhousehome.ca/NEW The CSS in question will work, but I have comments after the two lines that cause issues. Code: css
#inner-wrap{/*there is no outer-wrap*/
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:50%; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
margin-left:-400px; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
}
If I comment out both lines the issue goes away, but the horizontal centering disappears too. If I uncomment either of them the issue reappears. I will leave the issue live on my website while people have a look. And once I fix this I will be fixing the two images in the bottom left corner with the text beneath each one. There won't be a hover over effect as there is in Firefox. Hi, Does anyone know how to veritcally align text using CSS? like <tr valign='middle'> when using tables. My page is on: http://www.3003online.com/demos/ecoceylon/v2/ You can see a difference in the "Home - About Us - Products - Contact Us" links when viewing from IE and Mozilla Firefox. Basically, I would like the text to be centered vertically in the bar... but CSS by default puts it on top. I tried adding padding,which helped in IE... but Firefox still shows the links a bit higher than they should be.,... any ideas how to fix this? Also, a different problem in case anyone knows how to fix it... you can see a small brown bar on the top bar. It is 50px in height. But I have no idea how to make its width as wide as the remainder of the page (this would change with different resolutions). The main content of the page is 760px wide. I would like a brown box next to that, which is 50px in height and the remainder width. Any ideas? "width: auto;" doesn't work unfortunately [ this is a follow up to my previous thread http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?t=270438 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. Hey, I came across this forum and hopefully somebody can help me. Here is my website: http://www.jmuelectricmotorcycle.tk When the page is in firefox, If you page zoom out, the navbar goes under the content instead of staying on the right. I think it has something to do with padding and the sidebar not having enough room so it drops down. When I set the content to 1005 instead of 1000, it works, but there's a giant 5 pixel gap between my side bar and my content container. Also, does anybody know how to style called data from ssi.php in SMF forums? I want my login boxes to look like my main page. Thanks. Here is my css: Code:

Do I have to put my <ul> in a <div> and keep my <img> out of the <ul>? If you look at Lakelandedc.com you notice the menu is very weird when trying to go from each link to the other links... how can i fix the menu so it is easier to navigate? Code: /* CSS Document */
