HTML - Vertically Centered Divs
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. Similar TutorialsHi 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 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 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! 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 Hi 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.

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'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. 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 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 Hai there, just a quick question - How do I center an image vertically (as in right in the middle, I don't want to have to mess around with each image to the exact pixel spacings) All I want to know is the code to put this: </A> <A HREF="http://rh.pretsell.co.uk/xlrstats/"> <IMG SRC="http://i28.servimg.com/u/f28/15/38/25/28/xlrsta16.png"> In the middle so it makes the forum look better Thank you! Hello all, I need some help, and I'm hoping someone can assist me . I'm trying to create a html document - an offline webpage. Basically, I want parts of the page to remain static, which contain a logo and some navigation links, and the one part of the table to be a scrolling box. The reason is this: That one cell is going to contain some very large images - 1000 pixels wide by maybe 2000, 3000 high. So while the width can obviously fit on a standard monitor, the height will not. Now, the images themselves are pictures of long flowcharts. Therefore, it's fine for the user to scroll down to navigate the flowchart. But the static navigation links and the title should remain - well, static - while the user is able to scroll up and down that ONE cell containing the flowcharts. Here's a picture to clarify things. As you can see, the bolded cell is the one in question. (apologies for the shoddy drawing) If anyone solves that problem, I have one slightly tougher one for you to solve, but more on that later. Can anyone help me? :sad: Hey, I want an image in the dead center of a frame. All I have so far is: <center><img src="images/banner_ani.gif"></center> I don't know how to vertically align the image. Could someone please fix it for me or tell me how. I tried googling everywhere but all I could find was stuff that involved CSS. Thanks |
