HTML - Content Centered On A Mac, But Not A Pc?
Hi all, brand new here. I'm working on a simple website for a project I'm doing with a friend, but I'm having a problem with the layout. The site is www.Project217.com. On my Macbook, the content on all of the pages appears centered, which is where I want it. Firefox, Safari and IE all display properly. However, on my Windows computer at work all of the content within the black section of the pages is aligned to the left.
Is there an issue with my source code that I'm missing? Thanks for any help, Aaron Similar TutorialsHi I have a page designed to be centered in the browser... not a problem. However, I have just added a drop down menu (taken from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rome/index.htm) and now the divs which contain the drop down content seem to be centering inside the browser as opposed to sitting under the menu titles like they should. In other words, they are behaving independently of the top level menu... not good! Here's the link - http://www.horizonwebsites.co.uk/snoworks/ I've tried many little changes but I'm definately missing something here. Any help would be great. Kev Hi All, I have just started my first page and there is a little problem with it that is driving me nuts. Basically, Im trying to make a simple page where the content is centered and there are two background columns on the right and left: we see these pages everywhere. Here is the code (pseudo) I am trying <body> <centered content> <body_divis> <pic> insert picture (top left) <pic> </body_div> </centered content> <body> now im using a css file in which we have: <centetred content> : fix width (1000px), auto left and right margin, gray background. <body_div>: white background. <pic>: 0 margins. So far so good, I get the desired effect: white page in the middle, two side columns in gray. All of this starts at the very top of the page. Now I just want to move the picture slighlty down. As soon as I do that the whole white centered section moves down with it, creating a horizental gray bar on top of the page that is driving me nuts.... it seems that the white section starts where the first object is placed. I just want it to start at the top and then plance my objects wherever. All margins are good in my code as I have checked and rechecked. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Kakeez Hi all. I've been trying to accomplish a simple task with less to no luck, I hope somebody here can help... I'm trying to create a single page with a solid color background, with a square image (let's say 500px * 500px) centered in the page and above the solid color, with some text centered above the image. All of this should work even resizing the window: I mean, the image should resize mantainig its proportions. Is there any way to do this? I tried both tables and css, but had no luck... Thank you in advance. Melmoth Anyone have any hints about why headings that are perfectly centered in Firefox are sometimes aligned left in IE? My website is not centered in Internet Explorer but it is in Firefox. Hi guys, I'm attempting to make a content box for my site, and I need to have three dividers centered on the page (side by side). The first divider will have a simple gradient image from the page background to the content box background (repeated vertically). Second divider is the content box. Third divider is the other gradient. I'm having some difficulty getting this to work. First problem: I can't seem to get them all on the same line. It appears that each divider is on its own line. Second problem: I can't get the dividers to show the background image without entering something in it. I have been using to do so but if there is an easier way I would love to know how. Third problem: When I do get the images to show up they will not repeat vertically, only shows up once. Here is the part of my code on the page: Code: <div class="contentborderleft"> </div> <div class="contentcontainer center"> <iframe name="content" src="main.html"> <a href="http://getfirefox.com" alt="Get firefox"> Download a browser that supports frames!</a> </iframe> </div> <div class="contentborderright"> </div> Here is the part from my style sheet dealing with these dividers: Code: .contentcontainer { width: 500px; } .contentborderleft { width: 87px; height: 100%; background-image: url(../images/leftborder.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } .contentborderright { width: 87px; height: 100%; background-image: url(../images/rightborder.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-y; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } .center { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } Any help would be greatly appreciated! the attached code will properly center (horizontally and vertically) a swf on a mac in safari and firefox, but not on a pc in IE. please help! actual site he Courtland Construction Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>master</title> <script language="javascript">AC_FL_RunContent = 0;</script> <script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(images/backgroundTile2.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } --> </style></head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <!--url's used in the movie--> <!--text used in the movie--> <!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet --> <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="1000" height="700" align="center" valign="middle"><div align="center"> <script language="javascript"> if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) { alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js."); } else { AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0','width','1000','height','700','id','images/master','align','middle','src','images/master','quality','best','scale','noscale','wmode','transparent','bgcolor','#ffffff','name','images/master','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','allowfullscreen','true','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','images/master' ); //end AC code } </script> <noscript> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="1000" height="700" id="master" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="images/master.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="best" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="images/master.swf" quality="best" scale="noscale" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1000" height="700" name="master" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> </noscript> </div></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> I have the exact same table at the very bottom of this page that is centered in both IE and Firefox... http://www.massagelaunch.com/ but on this page I have the exact same table that IS NOT CENTERED in Firefox...any idea why? http://www.massagelaunch.com/affiliates.html Thanks in advance! For some reason when there is little content on the page, the layout doesn't remain centered. What can I do to fix this? Here is the link to my website: Check out the difference between about and knowledge http://www.organicgardencafe.com/about.php An old chestnut this one, but I can't find reference to this particular technique when searching the forums. http://www.freemanpeer.com is the address and I'm using the technique found here (http://exanimo.com/examples/css/vert...ated-shim.html) to vertically center, however it's sticking fairly rigidly to the top of the browser. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance, Jez. Hi, please see this html (u can change txt to html - ignore missing pics and flash) i centered all objects except the menu (custom boots,boots)... i just cant let this to be centered too... thanks in advance I'm brand new to the scene of html and tryiing to create a website. I'm currently using a drop-and-drag program that does allow for some html and other scripting to help modify the page. The problem I'm having is this. When the webpage I created with a margin of 1024 x 768 appears on my monitor (1440x900) as well the monitor of a few other people I have asked, it appears fine. When I change my monitor resolution to 1024 x 768 to view the webpage, I have to scroll over to the middle of the page to begin viewing. How do I fix this so that the page is centered regardless of the monitor resolution of whomever is viewing the page? Once again, I am a beginner with the world of html so I will do my best to try to understand whatever it is that I need to input into the html to try to fix the problem. Thank you. Hi, can anybody tell me why the flash animation is not correctly displayed in Firefox ? (and only the second time I visit the website) http://lancelmaat.nl/ thanks How do I make a table with a fixed width stay centered even if the browser window's horizontal size is smaller than the table's horizontal size? align="center" makes the table centered as long as the browser window is bigger than the table. If the browser window is smaller, the table will be cropped on the right size only, not on both size. I would like to do this to have a table with a fixed width and a background image, so that no horizontal scrolling bar appears if the screen resolution if too small for the table. The image should howerver stay centered no matter what the windows size is. Thanks. Greetings from Norway! This is my first post on this forum! I am currently developing my website, and when I checked the page in Firefox, Safari and Chrome it seemed perfectly fine, but when loading it in IE and Opera it looked strange. the page: http://aksjefinans.com/bilde.html In Opera and IE the text in the tables are centered while in the other browsers it is aligned to the left (this is how it should look). Why is the table text centered in IE and Opera? I have looked over my code several times and tried a lot of different moves, but it always ends up like this in IE and Opera. Centered text does not look any good. What should I do to make the page look the same in IE as in firefox? Hope someone could help me! I embedded a flash slide show in my website. I'ts centered and looks fine in Firefox, Safari and Opera. In Internet explorer it's slightly left of center. I was told the explanation below which I think I've adjusted the html to but now I'm not sure as it's still off centre.Any idea where I'm going wrong please. I still can't figure out why I E appears to show text as bold instead of normal weight. your <td> width and CU3ER width don't match. Problem is in your page html code, not CU3ER itself. Link below http://bajor.servers.rbl-mer.misp.co...dge/manip.html hi i'm new to htm, infact new to making websites at all. i spent ages writting an intoduction, but some one deleted it. i have started writting my first HTML page : http://normington.superfreehost.org/...age%204.1.html so far it's just some embeded movies from youtube. my first problem is that i want to align text to the left of the video and centered vertically. my second problem is that when i view the page source through mozilla i find some extra text that i cant see if i view the page in wordpad. "<!-- Paste this code into the body section, not the head section of the page --> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- ch_client = "b0redum"; ch_non_contextual = 0; ch_keywords = "tech,free"; ch_linkStyle= "style3"; //--></script> <script src="http://scripts.chitika.net/static/linx/chitika_linx.v3.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <div id="PaypopupStartCode" style="display:none"> </div> <script language="JavaScript1.1"> if (typeof(paypopupScriptStart) == 'undefined') {var paypopupScriptStart = false;} if (!paypopupScriptStart) { document.write(unescape("%3Cscript")+' src="http://www.bu520.com/popup.php?'+(new Date()).getTime()+'&id=azzamartin&pop=enter&t=1&subid=107931&blk=1&fc=-1"'+unescape("%3E%3C/script%3E")); paypopupScriptStart = true; } </script> <noscript> </noscript>" what does this text do, and how do i move it? any advice about my page would be apprichiated, items to add etc, the next thing i want to do is make a comments page. is this an easy thing? thanks for your help, Normington. Hi, Im trying to make my footer content align correctly to the main content when a window resizes.

These will al be stripped out as its an Open sources system im using! Thansk alot Joe I would like to know if there is such a thing as a tag within a table, that can collapse if the next table within that prior one gets too big to center? Here is an example of a part of my code: Code: <table style="width:757; border-style:solid; border-width:thin; margin:0 0 15px 0"> <tr><td class="spb-category" width="750" style="text-align:left;" colspan="3">Title of this category</td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=103">large size book title with author</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=187">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=197">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=101">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=188">small sized book</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=120">Medium sized boot title</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top" width="33%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.background='#ddddff';" onmouseout="this.style.background='#ffffff';"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td class="spb-book"><a href="product_info.php?products_id=102">a very long title of a book which includes the author</a></td></tr><tr><td class="spb-author">Author</td></tr></table></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> 1. I want to center each column so that the first letter of each book title is lined-up, but that the longest title on each column has equal space on both left and right. 2. If you look at each column, the width is about 245px. With regard to the first book title in the first column, I have 50px that is extra, therefore I'd like to automatically add 25px to the front of each one of the books for that column. 3. On the second column, there is about 80px extra, therefore I'd like to auto-add 40px to the front of each book in that column. My problem is that I don't want the column centered individually because then I will lose the straight line that I'd like each book to be on top of each other as it starts the line. I tried: style="margin-left:20px" and style="padding-left:20px" but when the title got too long it would not auto-collapse the left side, I want it to collapse! I want one tag that I can insert evenly on every section to get the push to the right an even amount of spaces for every book on each column. If it comes down to it, I wouldn't mind sacrificing that each column gets auto aligned to what is necessary for its own column. So if I have to use one number, say 30px, for the whole webpage, then ok, I'd do it. My problem is that sometimes the 30px empty filler space for the left, in order to push the title to the right, is not enough space for a very long title and it winds up sending half the title to the next line, which I don't want. This code is a list of books that spans about 20 categories and about 400 book titles. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer. Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows how to centre an image link in another frame (yes I know frames are bad but its an old website I am updating) i have <a href="picturelink" target="mainframe"> <img src="thumbnail" border="0"></a> I have tried everything from class="center" to editing the original frameset and the original page loaded into the window but I can't get the jpeg file to load up centred and so I was hoping someone might be able to help as I don't want to link all the pictures to seperate html documents with only a centred image in... Thanks for any help. |
