CSS - Center A Div Inside Another Div
I have a fixed-width site and the content is enclosed inside a 750px div. I need to center a div inside that main container. I know I can use margin and text-align but then all of the divs in the main container will be centered where I only want one div to be centered. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

width: 90%;
margin-left: 5%;

</html>
What I am trying to do is have the collection of "thumb" divs align in the center of the "contents". The number of "thumb"s will vary and I want them to fill the width of the screen no matter what width that may be, and change when the size of the window is changed. I realize that the float: left is pushing them to the left, but it's my understand that is how you get divs to appear side-by-side. So I figured I could enclose them in another div ("thumbnails") and then center it inside "contents", but "thumbnails" doesn't even seem to enclose the "thumb"s unless I specify a width, which I can't do because the number of thumbnails changes, and if I specify a width that is too big, the thumbs float back to the left and the extra containing div "thumbnails" is pointless. So, how do I get the "thumb"s to be side-by-side and have that collection of "thumbnail"s centered on the page, while still keeping things liquid? Currently working in IE6, but looking for support in IE5x, Opera, and Gecko based browsers. It seems I get one or the other, but not all. I've been trying to find a "solution" that allows me to have a parent <div> (with a fixed position-centered) on a browser page, and have it contain multiple nested <div> tags. I want to be able to do this so it works on both IE and FF, as well MAC. Through several attempts I've utilized a background-image--but don't believe that is compliant with "all" recent platforms, etc. I've also been able to place the nested <div> tags but then shove the parent div's image down ... Does anyone have thoughts, links, suggestions or a quick example to toss my way? Thanks Much and Happy New Year! Des I'm using a relative-positioned div as a container for an image, which is absolute-positioned. I'm doing this so that the image will automatically scale down to fit inside the containing div (nothing else I've tried has done this for me- so if there is another way to achieve this, please fill me in). This part works fine, but the image isn't as wide as the containing div, so I would like to center the image inside the div- but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried the obvious text-align:center in the div. That actually worked... kinda. The image's left-side was in the center of the div, but obviously isn't the 'centering' that I'm looking for. I then tried setting margin-left and margin-right on the image to auto, and that did nothing. I suspect that the fact that I have my image absolute-positioned is the culprit here, but I don't know how to get around it- or IF I can get around it without drastically changing my approach. Admittedly, the container div resides inside a table cell. I know that isn't the best practice, but I spent so much time trying a div-only approach only to waste time and become frustrated that I went back to what I know works- at least for now. I tried removing the container div from the table and inserting the image directly to the table cell- but encountered more issues with the sizing of the image. Essentially, my code is something like this: CSS: Code:
td#CONTENTDISPLAY
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}
div#CONTENTBANNER
{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
img.CONTENTIMG
{
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
}
HTML: Code:
...
<td id="CONTENTDISPLAY">
<div id="CONTENTBANNER">
<img class="CONTENTIMG" />
</div>
</td>
...
Nothing flashy, I know. One thing I should mention, however, is that the image is ALWAYS placed inside the container div using a Javascript function (it's a dynamic image). I doubt that makes a difference, but I figure it's worth mentioning. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks! - skubik 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> Hi all, I've got a table here and can't seem to get text-align:center in the cells that have colspan='2' (f1s, f2s...) as an attribute.

Any pointers? I need to center an img that I have fade in how do i change the below code so that it centers in the page STYLE=\"POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT:75%;WIDTH:75%;TOP:5;LEFT:0;VISIBILITY:VISIBLE; ZINDEX:1\" thanks tim Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a 19 in CRT and a 22 in wide screen LCD monitor. I am trying to make my content center on the page, regardless of the monitor. As it stands, it looks to be centered on teh 19 in, but on the 22 in, it is very much to the left side of the screen. I just got the 22 in. Is there something different you have to do for wide screen monitors? I'm using margin: auto 0px; I have margin and padding off for my Body {} and have set marging and padding on all appropreate elements so that they work the same in IE and FF. In my html page, I'm using xhtml strict. Thanks, Brad Hello again CSS experts! I know this question gets asked a lot but I have had a search on here and google and can't seem to get it working for me. My page has a sidebar div which contains a UL menu (SpryMenuBar from Dreamweaver) I would like to center the menu within the div. I have tried putting it within a child div and playing with auto margins and left 50%, etc. but no joy. If anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong I'd would be very grateful. Another small issue (which I suspect is related) is the <p> in between the two menus wraps around the right of the first menu when viewed in IE. Jez index.php: Code:

/* Tips for sidebar1:
1. Since we are working in relative units, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the overall width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Since em units are used for the sidebar value, be aware that its width will vary with different default text sizes.
3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.

padding: 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
margin: 0;

#menu {

/* Tips for mainContent:
1. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
2. Be aware it is possible to cause float drop (the dropping of the non-floated mainContent area below the sidebar) if an element wider than it can contain is placed within the mainContent div. WIth a hybrid layout (percentage-based overall width with em-based sidebar), it may not be possible to calculate the exact width available. If the user's text size is larger than average, you will have a wider sidebar div and thus, less room in the mainContent div. You should be aware of this limitation - especially if the client is adding content with Contribute.
3. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This may help avoid several IE-specific bugs.

Thanks for reading my question Why does this not center the contents of my page in Firefox but it does in IE? This code is in my linked CSS file. Code: body {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10px;
background-image: url(images/fall-leaves.jpeg);
background-attachment: fixed;
/*background-color: #d8d8d8;*/
}
Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have a div that has a specified width, and if I put margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; the div centers with in the parent div. I have another div that I don't want to have a specified width, and as a result the auto's don't center the div. How can I center my div? I've tried display: block; and that just makes it as wide as the parent div. If I remove display and put float: left, it sizes properly (shrinks to fit the contents), but floats left and doesn't heed the margin auto's. The colors are there to see the containers... I don't plan on keeping them.. please see http://www.scopicdesigns.com/LisaCl..._Portfolio1.htm for example. Thanks, Brad I have a div that I am using as a pop up layer. I just set the visible attribute on mouseover and mouseout. I want to have that dic pop up in the center of the screen vertically and horizontally. I have not had much luck with other examples but this is what I have: Div Code:
<div class="popbox" id="1" onMouseover="showpop('1');" onMouseout="hidepop('1');">
<p class="popboxheader">HEADER</p>
<p class="popboxcontent">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="popboxcontentleft" valign="top"><p>some content here</p></td>
<td class="popboxcontentright" valign="top"><p>more content</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</p>
</div>
CSS Code:
div.popbox {
text-align: left;
background-color:#ffffff;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
width: 570px;
visibility: hidden;
margin:0 auto;
}
.popboxheader {
padding: 5px;
color: white;
letter-spacing: 2pt;
background-color: #003399;
font-family: Verdana, san-serif;
font-size:16px;
color:#ffffff;
color:#ffffff;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:left;
}
.popboxcontent {
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: left;
font-family: Verdana, san-serif;
color:#4074b7;
color:#0349A3;
}
.popboxright {
font-size: 9pt;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: left;
width:200px;
font-family: Verdana, san-serif;
color:#4074b7;
color:#0349A3;
}
Script Code:
function showpopp(cid){
var obj = document.getElementById(cid);
obj.style.visibility = "visible";
}
function hidepop(cid){
var obj = document.getElementById(cid);
obj.style.visibility = "hidden";
}

I need the text to be centered in the green box. Not sure the best way to do that. Hello, I have a container div and i want to put some fixed-width left-floated divs inside it. The problem is i want to make them appear in the center of the container, instead of left. The problem is i don't know how many of them there's going to be, therefore i can't just put them inside of another fixed-width container and set it's margin to auto. I could probably do it with tables easily, but how would i do it in css? I've tried the usual trick of setting the width and margin-left and right to auto but it just doesnt work. If someone could please help with this, that would be great. This is all the code in my css file as of now, i'm using an img tag as my bacground incase people were wondering, so that it would resize to fit the window. the #content block is the one that i'm referring to. css Code: Original - css Code body { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial; color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .bg { width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 5000; } #content { width: 800px; height: 600px; top: 0px; left: 0px; position: absolute; z-index: 6000; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .nav { background-image: url('images/blank.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; } a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; } a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #0066CC; font-size: 9px; }
body {
i am trying to get the list to show over two lines like so (using _ as multiple spaces get turned on to one) how do i get both centered. _____item1____item2____item3 item4____item5____item6____item7 Code: <div class="homebodytext"> <ul> <li class="homebodylifloat">item1</li> <li class="homebodylifloat">item2</li> <li class="homebodylifloat">item3</li><br style="clear: both;"><br> <li class="homebodylifloat">item4</li> <li class="homebodylifloat">item5</li> <li class="homebodylifloat">item6</li> <li class="homebodylifloat">item7</li><br style="clear: both;"> </ul> </div> Code:
