HTML - Inline Display -- Centering Issue
Hey all.
I am a PHP/Javascript guy and HTML is not really my strong suit. Any help would be appreciated it here. http://www.khaccounts.net/ -- Just 'View Source' or inspect with Firebug if you have it. I am trying to get the Navigation bar and the textbox underneath it to be centered under the header image. I have tried everything I know to get them centered, but no such luck. Any ideas? Similar TutorialsI know from personal experience, the specs and some great posts that DIV's are not allowed inside of P tags. And it's normal to be so, but what about inline-blocks? I could simply use SPAN or some other inline element which works inside the P, but IE only renders natural blocks as inline-block. Meaning if it's an inline element it will work in Firefox but not IE, if it's a block the other way arround. So how do I solve this quanundrum? Either I need an element which is a natural block in IE and is allowed inside a P by the specs, or I'll use DIV instead of P, but I would much rather avoid this. In a nutshell: --- The following <li> tags are inline-blocks. Why does removing the closing <li> tags fix the whitespace issue? Code: <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> Versus... Code: <li>Item one <li>Item two <li>Item three The context of this question: --- From: CSS display: inline-Block: Why It Rocks, And Why It Sucks The above post is about using inline-block instead of float to position <li> elements, which is useful for making navigation bars. There is one drawback to using inline-block: (You can copy and paste the first piece of code below to see what I'm talking about.) If you restrict the <ul> to a particular width, your navbar won't display correctly, which has something to do with hitting the RETURN key between your lines of code (whitespace issues?). See below: This works fine because there we didn't hit RETURN to create a line break between each list. <li>Item One</li><li>Item Two</li> Here, we hit RETURN to put each list on a separate line and now the code doesn't display properly. The first piece of code below illustrates this problem. <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> The second piece of code solves this problem by using comments to remove the whitespace. The third piece of code solves this problem by removing the closing <li> tags. My question is, how does removing closing tags change anything? Are there any issues I should be aware of if I use this solution? Are there other contexts where I can apply a similar technique? Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> </ul> Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one<!-- --><li>Item two</li><!-- --><li>Item three</li> </ul> Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one <li>Item two <li>Item three </ul> I have this code on a page but the text that is shows does not render all the way on the page is cuts off for some reason...this is the code in the div that it is wrapped in...

However, it does not display properly in IE. The url in question is www.adamwestmagic.com/home.php. The differences to note are the top right images of the 'heart' and bottom left images of the 'spade' show a small gap below them - I believe this is something to do with the 'overflow' option and have tried adding in a 'style' command to counter this but with no luck, and am not well versed in CSS to do it via that (yet). EDIT: This has been fixed - I was following standard coding procedure of indenting to aid reading, so was indenting my <tr><td> tags. Removing tabs (removing whitespace) around the <img> tags fixed the problem. Thank you IE! Another obvious discrepancy is the left hand 'gradient' image - IE seems to have rotated it by 90 degrees for no apparent reason. EDIT: This is now also fixed, by changing the 38 x 1 pixel png image for a jpg which magically remedied it. God knows why. This is turning into a bit of a soliloquy! The final, and perhaps more substantial difference is that IE does not dynamically resize the page, whereas Firefox does. I know this is perhaps unconventional in not picking a size for the page and leaving left and right space for higher resolutions, but I do not like that look on large screens. I have changed to a black background for the purpose of debugging - it would be very difficult to see the gradient images etc. with the standard grey/white background. Interestingly these issues vary compared to another computer. I am running XP and IE 7 and see the error with the gradient image, but resizing happens fine. Another computer (laptop) running Vista and IE 7 doesn't seem to have the gradient image problem, but does not resize properly. I am thoroughly confused! Any help is gratefully received, thank you. Adam At least it is to me. Here is the deal. If you go to this page http://www.etraxc.com/sponsors/sponsors.asp you should get a pop-up window that has a blurb and then the following text, with link, that says: "For more information about our innovative approach to sponsorship, please click this link." There should also be a series of 9 banner ads displayed just below that. 1) Can you see that (I can and almost everyone I have asked can but one person can not), and 2) Why would someone NOT be able to see that? This person has the same trouble with several pages on my site but this is the first I have heard of it (and the site gets roughly 5,000 to 8,000 page hits/day). It has me puzzled! Any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks.... I re-worked the page in a different way, so no help needed anymore thanks knud Hi, i am new to this forum and would really like to congratulate all of the administrators and people keeping up this very good work. I am trying to make a nested table in HTML, however i have some display issues. In Firefox, all the images and tables display well, however in IE, the bottom part (bootom image) does not display at all. The page link is http://www.carmelgcauchi.com/site/TE...R%20KOTBA.html There is also onother page wherby Firefox displays all the page correctly, while IE omits part of the table. The link is http://www.carmelgcauchi.com/site/dwari.html all help would be really appreciated. regards Hello, I have nearly finished working on a site for my brother's Photography but am running into an issue with how it displays in IE7. Here is a link to the site: http://www.markofphotography.com/ It looks fine in Opera and Firefox, but IE7 can't seem to render it. I created the site's HTML using Photoshop and slices. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! As a part of a project I am doing I want to display images on a website. The width/height of the image displayed on the screen should depend on the orientation of the image. The idea is to make the longer side 150px, so if width is greater than height then width=150px, else if height > width, then height=150px. Is there a simple way of doing this? My solution to this is to store the image height and width in a database (I already need to create a database for images), and am using onLoad attribute to change the width/height based on a boolean parameter which tell the orientation of the image, a test version of the code is here (wait for the image to load) http://www.confusionart.com/public/test.html However, as you can notice, first the complete image is loaded and then resized to the desired size. i.e. there is a unnecessary switching of sizes on screen. Is there any way to avoid this. Using AJAX & php to return a randomly generated number of single column tables, and drop them into a <div> element. ( http://www.thegreatmartinicompany.co...ace-value.html ). I've set the div to text-align: center, and put auto margins on the tables. The result is the tables are centered and equally spaced in the div element regardless of the number of tables returned. As appropriate FF and IE display the tables side by side, but Safari stacks them on top of each other. An example of the returned code is below. Any ideas why Safari does not display this as IE and FF do? <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> <table style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto"><tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> </table> Help!!!! I have been looking at this for almost 6 hours and I still can't explain why my horizontal menu wrapped using Firefox and not IE. I have firefox 3 installed and some of the categories (on the same tree) wrapped and some doesn't. But if i refresh it a few times, it become normal again. This make no sense. Maybe I need to get some fresh air because i am starting to see spots on the screen. http://208.84.114.15 Is their any shortcut to give inline css in Dreamviewer ? Since I am using Dreamviewer & I have to write Inline CSS explicitly & there is streachable facility in the control so that we can stretch & its appropriate width & height can be assign to its component ? Since I am getting it in dreamviewer & if any body knows how to do it then please let me know abt it ? Regards.... I have display:inline and its adding in two drop boxes that it shouldnt. After the drop boxes it then stops the inline. Im new to css, have only been trying it for the past couple of days. The two drop down boxes are suppose to be on the left, under the links at the top. Can someone explain to me why inline stops where it does? Thanks. Oh yeah, the links under <li> I know their to the wrong address's. body { font-family:georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; color:#BD0A70; background-color:#F2F2F2; } ul.navbar { list-style-type: none; padding:0; width:32em; float:left; } ul.navbar li { display:inline; font-size:125%; background-color:#007BA7; margin:.10em; } ul.navbar a,ul.navbar a:visited { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } ul.navbar a:hover { background:#00008B; } form.jump { /* position: absolute; */ float: left; } div.floatright { /* position: absolute; */ float: right; } h1 { clear:both; font-family:helvetica,geneva,arial,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My first styled page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css"> </head> <body> <a charset="ISO-8859-1"> <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar"> <li><a href="index.html">Change email</a> <li><a href="musings.html">Change Password</a> <li><a href="town.html">F.A.Q.</a> <li><a href="town.html">Contact</a> <li><a href="links.html">Log out</a> <li> </li> </ul> <form class="jump" action="/reredirect.php" align="left" method="post"> <input type ="text" name="userpage" size="17" value="Jump to user page" onFocus="this.value=''"> <img src="cooltext406694699.png" align="absbottom" onmouseover="this.src='cooltext406694699MouseOver.png';" onmouseout="this.src='cooltext406694699.png';" input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></img> </form> <div class="floatright"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- /* 234x60, created 11/22/08 */ google_ad_slot = "0343255875"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- Main content --> <table> <tr> <td> <form method="post" action="/redirect.php" name="event"> <select name="select" class="breakinline" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED>Select friend <OPTION value="/users/sharon">name1 <OPTION value="/users/carrie">name2 <OPTION value="/users/capy">name3 <OPTION value="/users/charla">name4 </SELECT> </FORM> <td> <form id="myeventz" method="post" action="/changeevent.php" name="myevent"> <select name="myevent" class="tabletxt" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED=>12/25 Christmas</option> <OPTION value="0101 Event One">01/01 Event one <OPTION value=" 0202Eventtwo">Remove this event <OPTION value=" ">Add a new event </SELECT> </FORM> </td> </tr> </table> <p>Select item's to remove</p> Which doctype doesn't allow for inline? Right now every line break in my code, IE creates a space in the tables. How do I get rid of this? Thanks, Alec This question might be rather basic. I'm not a web-developer, though I have a lot of other coding experience. As part of an internal webpage I'm creating, I want to access a webservice that returns a string and display it on the page. The service is accessed by URL, and requires parameters that are dynamically generated base upon the request parameters, so I can't just use #include. What I want to see is something like this, where the number string is provided by the webservice: Authorization code: 1343-7205-7570-8264 I tried this: Code: Authorization code: <object type=text/plain data="http://blah/service?params"></object> IE doesn't output the resulting string. Firefox does output the string, but it's not cleanly inlined with the rest of the text. It has it's own big block of the screen that the text sits in. Is there a simple way to insert the text from a dynamically generated URL into the current page? I'd like to open an inline frame on my site. I've got the code this far; however I cannot find out how to finish it. I need to knowhow to get it to open at a certain spot on the page. So like an example would be I want it to open at spot x on a page. How would I code this to open it at that spot? Code: <html> <body> <iframe src="default.asp" width=125px height=125px></iframe> </body> </html> Well, i'm not sure i'm gonna use this snippet but i can think of plenty reasons why i might: Code: <h4 style="display:<?php print $display; ?>"> It won't validate because, quote: "character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data." Maybe i've been staring at it too long but i don't see the difference from any other php statement, which the validator should simply not parse. ?? Thanks, Joey Hello everyone, I have a problem and it is driving me insane :/. I am trying to create 3 inline boxes (using span or div?) that are right next to one another (ie. with no borders). The two at either side are of length 25% and the middle is of length 50%. Here is my effort at coding it myself : Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style> body { word-spacing: 0px; } .sideWrap { top: 0px; width: 25%; height: 100px; background-color: #0CF; display: inline-block; } .sideWrap2 { top: 0px; width: 25%; height: 100px; background-color: #0CF; display: inline-block; } .center { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; left: 25%; width: 50%; height: 200px; background-color: #0F0; display: inline-block; } </style> </head> <body> <span class="sideWrap"></span> <span class="center"></span> <span class="sideWrap"></span> </body> </html> But unfortunately, this produces ... something I dont want .. as shown by the attachment. This clearly has inexplicable white borders that I have not coded :S, and the three blocks are not inline. Can anyone give a simple explanation as to how to put these in line and eliminate the border between them? Thanks in advance, mintsmike Hi guyz, i have a query Mouse over the datagrid cell display tooltip or panel to display information but only using HTML and CSS not using javascript. can anyone help me. because im gonna use it on htmleditor on c# desktop application thax before Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain block and inline elements. I know they deal with word wrap but, I have read and I am still confused on how you know what is a block element and what is an inline element. Can someone provide some aid? Thanks. |
