HTML - Centering Problem
Similar TutorialsMy site is working correctly in bot Safari & FF but I can't seem to get it to center in IE7. In Safari and FF, the content is centered and the window can be shrunk down to 1000px without scrollbars appearing (which is what I want). In IE7 its all sliding to the right and scrollbars are appearing at 1150px or something like that (which is what I want definitely don't want). This template is a little bit problematic because the background image for the blue area extends outside the central column on the left side and I need it to disappear when the window width is shrunk. I hope that makes sense. I can't figure out an alternative solution that works in IE7, any ideas? Check out the template in question at: http://current-post.com hi, im trieing to center my i frame. it worked first, but when i added a overflow to hide the scrollbar the center didnt work anymore, any fix on that would be greatly appreciated.. current code: <div style='width:1000px; height: 2000px; overflow: hidden;'> <IFRAME SRC="http://www.gras-valkparkieten.nl/smf/" WIDTH="1042" HEIGHT="2000" FRAMEBORDER="0" align="middle"> </IFRAME> </div> html webpage: http://www.gras-valkparkieten.nl/forum.html http://www.cubedspacedesigns.com/imagegallery/ This page has a row of scrolling thumbnails along the bottom. Each thumbnail, when clicked on, changes the main image. My problem is that I can't get the main image to centre. The image itself is in a div called #image, and that is inside a container box called #imagebox. For some reason my #image div automatically takes on the width of its parent, #imagebox. What I want it to do is to take on the width of the new image and get centred inside its parent. Hey guys my site http://www.atlanta-web.com I have 3 <div>s which i centered using the css technique Code: margin: 0 auto; They work perfect in IE 7, FF2, FF3 but fail in IE6 any idea what i could do to make this correct? Thanks, Eric I believe the problem is that the fact that the pictures are using an absolute position. Not sure though. I have tried about 4 or 5 different thing to fix this to no avail. I will copy in the code for you to see. I do not have this running on a server for everyone to load but it is not much code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help is appreciated! how can i center the nav on this page? http://fantasyfootball.pzproductions.com/testing I have a website and I used css to make my Div tags set to absolute.

First off I'm new to this forum so Hello! I wanted to know how to make sure my websites 'float' in the middle of the screen, like this for example http://www.richardjohntaylor.com/billymurray i.e. whatever size the window, the image always remains centred. The website above is only a single image. How would I do it with my other sites, which are tables making up many images, eg. http://www.terrystone.biz or http://www.trconsultants.co.uk I edit using Dreamweaver. Thanks Richard Here's the CSS code: HTML Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { scrollbar-arrow-color: #425B5E; scrollbar-base-color: #98A5A6; scrollbar-face-color: #98A5A6; scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-shadow-color: #425B5E; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #DEE7E8; scrollbar-track-color: #DEE7E8; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #DEE7E8; } div#content { width: 600px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left; } .header {font-family: trebuchet MS; size: 11px; color: white; font-weight: none; BORDER-RIGHT: none 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: none 1px solid; BORDER-bottom: white 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: none 1px solid; background-color: #660000;} .head2 { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; color: #4A4A5B; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: #4A4A5B; border-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; text-align:center; background-repeat: no-repeat; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform: uppercase;} .head { font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; color: #64657E; background-color: none; border: #75AAB0; border-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; text-align:center; background-image: url(head.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; font-weight: bold; height: 26px; padding-top: 4px;} b { color: #6D82A1; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; } A:link {color:#beb8b8;text-decoration:none; cursor: default; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px #C5CADC solid;} A:visited {color:#beb8b8;text-decoration:none; cursor: default; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px #C5CADC solid;} A:active {color:#beb8b8;text-decoration:none; cursor: default; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px #C5CADC solid;} A:hover {color:#5b1435;text-decoration:underline; cursor:default; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px #000000 solid;} body {background-color: gray; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: left; font-family: arial; color: black; margin: 0px; letter-spacing: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; cursor: default;} td { font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 11px; color: black; font-weight: normal; } --> </style> And here's the text itself; HTML Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="simple/simple.css" /> <script src="simple/click_menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"> <title>Ironman Football Academy | Don Bosco Prep</title> </head> <body onload="clickMenu('menu')"> <center><img src="mainimage.png"> <ul id="menu"> <li class="sub"><a href="#nogo1">Home</a> <ul> </ul> </li> <li class="sub"><a href="#nogo1">Information</a> <ul> </ul> </li> <li class="sub"><a href="#nogo1">Registration</a> <ul> </ul> </li> <li class="sub"><a href="#nogo1">Don Bosco Prep</a> <ul> </ul> </li> </ul> </center> </div> <div id="content" style="position: absolute; z-index: 2; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; top: 303px; width: 600px; height: 0px; overflow: visible"> <div class="header"> Welcome</div> We plan to change C-5 plane in such a way that the limitations and hazards involved with them might disappear or be lessened, advancing the study of aeronautics and its applications in technology.

Hi everyone, I couldn't really find a thread with this question... If there's already one with a solution to the problem, a link to the thread would be prefered over an answer here. Basically, my problem is that a layout I made doesn't center properly in IE. I have an y-repeated background in the center of the page, and on top a table. In Firefox everything looks fine and dandy, but in IE the table is a few pixels off to the left causing an error in the alignment. http://lastsong.sadil.net/ I don't really know how to fix it - I like it coded with tables better than with divs, so recoding it into divs won't do. (I am aware it doesn't validate on 6 points for those who care, but I can live with that for now...) If anybody has a solution to this problem, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! This is a tough one, I think. I am throwing this code into my current webpage: <div style="float:right; width:176; height:471; border:1px none solid#000"> So that I can have a side column. On a 1024 or 1280 resolution it looks fine, but once the res gets higher the column goes way too far to the right. Is there anyway to "lock it" in place? Thanks!

Thanks Hello, I'm having real trouble aligning images to the 'exact' centre in different browsers. I'm using <div align="middle"> </div> around the whole code at the moment, which aligns horizontally in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE9. But even this does not vertically align as well. Afraid I don't know much about CSS or any other div tags.

Thanks for any assistance Cheers J I have the following HTML: <table id="TextArea1"> <tr> <td valign=top><img src="Images/AllProducts.jpg" alt="All Products" align=center></td> </tr> The image is placed at the top left corner of the table using the: valign=top Then, I want to center the image horizontally within the table using: align=center But, this markup is ignored. I have tried all the values for "align" and: align=right is the only one that works. What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks. Okay, so me andd my friend are making a website, http://bitememanga.com/, and she designed a template for uor site that we can't center. I've tried putting <center> tags around the entire body, and around every div, but it won't work for some reason. I really need to center this whole page so it looks decent on any computer resolution. Thanks! The code is: <html> <title>Bite Me - The online shonen-ai manga novel/book - gay vampires, fantasy, anime and so much more.</title> <center> <body> <div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:300px top:0px; width:800px; height:750px; overflow: hidden;"> <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/nyfe3s.jpg"> </div> <div class="content" style="position: absolute; top:250px; width:500px; height:200px; overflow: auto;"><font color=white> Welcome to Bite Me, the online shonen ai manga about Aku the vampire, and his love, Haru.<br> At the moment, we do not have any manga posted.<br> A few things need to happen before anythings posted.<br> If you have any questions,suggestions,or comments, you can contact us at bitememanga@hotmail.com<br> And remember to keep checking back every few days to see if we have any updates! </font> </div> </body> </center> </html> |
