I have already provided margin for the main body.
main{margin-left:200px; margin-right: 200px; text-align: center}
As I wanted to show the texts in two lines instead of one line, I added width property in style.
.p{font-size: 12px; width: 200px}
This line of could serves the purpose of showing the paragraph in two lines but it moves the text to the left.
Then even if I try
.p{font-size: 12px; width: 200px; text-align: center; align-items: center};
The paragraph won't budge. It stays in left, out of alignment.
How Can I solve this problem.
I don‘t really understand what you want to archive. You could use a framework for example bootstrap, it‘s easy to learn and understand and also responsive.

I have a div with some fancy non-repeating background (figure 1) and I want to place a text (in fact, 1 or 2 characters) inside it. The background is asymmetrical, so I want to center the text relative to a portion of the image (figure 2). Ideally I want it to look like in figure 3.
I managed to get vertical positioning done by
div.button {
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 72px;
padding-top: 0;
}
However, I can't get it centered horizontally the way I want: text-align: center makes it look like in figure 4 (i.e. centered relative to entire div width) and padding values have no effect.
I know I can nest another div inside, size it appropriately and place my text inside. But is there a way to get this done without nesting any additional elements? The matter is that I have hundreds of those generated on my page and all of them have event handlers, so I'd rather tolerate ugly text centering than have to deal with additional nested elements.

For some weird reason you can add text-indent to move the letter to the left;
div.tile {
width: 88px;
height: 123px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 72px;
line-height: 104px;
color: #FF0000;
text-indent:-10px;

For your example -10px look perfect, but I suppose that you could use em as well to be more flexible.
I'm trying to build a website with bootstrap and other css resources and I'm trying to fix the following issue in the last 2 days and I think I won't be able to fix it.
I have a row of 50 250x250 cards with a left-margin of 30px. When I'm on the full screen, I get no problems. However, when I change the screen size, a huge gap between the latest card and the screen borders occurs. This continues until the browser can fill the empty space with the following card.
I don't want to have this empty space and want the cards to automatically align themselves to the center.
I've also divided the columns to 10 rows but still, there was no change.
Is there a way to fix this issue? Screenshots are attached for fullscreen and smaller screen.

Thank you very much for your valuable help.
I have to say your code is a bit of a mess, I would encourage you to go back and reference the bootstrap documentation for proper semantic and structural code as you have a bunch of unnecessary stuff happening.
In a nutshell you have to make your containing div has a text-align: center applied. I also gave a margin-right and left of 15px to offset spacing and maintain centering.
Secondly make sure your column classes make sense and fit into each other mathematically! I've wrapped your images in a col-lg-12 and wrap your images in a col-lg-4 so that there will be at least 3 up. Adjust image sizing as you see fit I made smaller images so you could see the responsiveness in the fiddle more.
.container {
text-align: center;
}
#card {
background: #FAFAFA;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 30px;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
overflow: hidden;
display: inline-block;
}
#card h2 {
background-color: #3F51B5;
opacity: 0.9;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
margin: 0px;
width: 150px;
}
img {
float: left;
}
Here is a Fiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/gward90/oygyj9qd/
You have several times id card, use class.
Don't set the width of the column divs, let bootstrap do it. (Fixed size and responsive design don't mix too well.)
Use the img tag unless you really want the image in the background and then put something over it which dictates the size.
If you do it like that, then the container will behave as you expect it.
I am just learning HTML and CSS (JavaScript will be next.) I am developing a website on which I have two boxes (defined as <div>s) side by side. They have different horizontal sizes, but each has "height: 1000px".
The large one sits right of the narrow one, and is defined by
<section style = "width:900px; height: 1000px; margin 10px; padding: 20px; background: #BBD1FF; display: inline-block; vertical-align:top;">
I added text within the confines of both boxes, and everything was fine. Then I added more text in the rightmost box, and the box seems to have expanded it's vertical dimension. The original and the new text in the box don't come close to filling the box, so what is going on here? I can't find any property of <div> which seems to relate to this.
Okay so i've taken a guess to what I think your trying to do. Basically, add max-width to your divs to prevent them from expanding. Here's a JSFiddle with something simple what I think your looking to do.
.div-one--left {
height: 1000px;
max-width: 50%;
min-width: 50%;
background: blue;
float: left;
display: block;
}
Also, when dealing with widths. Its good practise to always use percentages. You can't build responsively if your using pixels as widths (but thats off topic slightly).

please check out the codes first:
html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

.button:hover
{

}
so what i would like to acheive is that when i hover to the home button, the whole div changes color, and does not get distorted or mispositioned on zoom. one answer told me that i could use display: block, but that it does not work as you can see. however, i did manage to make it work with display: block when the menu pane is like a vertical column and not a horizontal one. could anyone pls explain why this happens, and how display property of css affects that element? and how to achieve the full highlight without zoom distortion?
If you use percentages as your height and/or width then it will be a percentage of the parent container.
If you want your page to behave well when using a zoom, ie. ctrl + mouse wheel up or down, size everything in your page using em. 1 em = 16px by default. Just get used to using em. Get a calculator out and start converting things. Trust me, it's worth it to have a page that zooms straight in in out without jumbling.
Your outermost container may use percentages as long as you're using an auto margin for the central contents this is an exception to using em, that way things will still be centered on all resolutions. When I say outermost container, I mean body...
Before I tell you how to make it work I'll answer the other questions:
"...I did manage to make it work with display: block when the menu
pane is like a vertical column and not a horizontal one. Could anyone
pls explain why this happens, and how display property of css affects
that element?"
Block elements stack on top of each other vertically. This means that in a vertical arrangement if the zoom level is changed, those elements are perfectly at home taking that extra space up to the right side. Now, if they are intended to be lined up horizontally, display block will not work because that is simply just not what it does. Display inline-block will stack them horizontally preserving heights and widths set for the container, and to my own dismay, adding tiny margins between elements unlike the use of float, which would be touching the previous element, but float is definitely not something I would recommend for a nav menu.
Let's say you have your first link, and it is display:block. It will start its own new horizontal line, assuming there is not a float:(side) item before it with extra space to fill. In that case, you would add clear:both(or :left/:right) to overcome this. Now let's say you want to add a second link to the right of the first one which is display:block. The second one could be display:inline-block, and it would be on the same level as the first one, but if you did this the other way around, the second one, which is display:block, would start on its own new line below.
Now, to make your button do what you want it to do:
I will assume for the purpose of giving you a good answer that screen width in pixels is 1280px. So 80% of that is 64em. That is (1280px * .80)/16px = 64em because 1em = 16px. As I mentioned before, we do this to make your site elastic when it zooms.
You've previously designated #container as height:450px; So let's convert that. 450px/16px = 28.125em (em values can go to three decimal places, but no more) This is good, so we have an exact conversion, and not a rounded value.
container is now finished and should be as such:
#container
{
width: 64em;
margin: auto;
height: 28.125em;
}
Next change height in #menu. You have it as height:25%. That is 25% of 450px/or/28.125em If we leave it at 25% it will mess up the zooming. So let's convert. 28.125em/4 = 7.03125em
This time we must round to 3 decimal places. So we get 7.031em.
menu is now finished and should be as such:
#menu
{
background-color: #1b9359;
height: 7.031em;
}
Next is your button class.
.button
{
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
font: bold 1.2em sans-serif;
line-height: 115px;
margin-left: 20px;
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
At this point I lose some of my own certainty about how CSS will react, but I will start with this. Do not use float:left and Display:anything together. In this case, use display:inline-block. Get rid of the float:left. I am not sure why you have a line-height set. I am guessing it is your way of attempting to set a height for your button because it is 2.5px larger than the height of #menu (line-height of .button = 115px, height of #menu = 112.5px which we have already converted to 7.031em). If that's what you're trying to do you're doing it wrong. get rid of line height, and make it the same height as its container so that it fills it. height:7.031em;
I'll assume if you're making a horizontal menu, that you aren't trying to make one button take up the entire width. If you do not give it a width, it will fill the whole row. I'll be bold and guess you probably want your button somewhere in the ballpark of twice as wide as it is high. Let's just go with 15em(240px). width:15em;
Last is margin-left... 20/16 = 1.25em. Cake.
Now we have:
.button
{
text-decoration: none;
font: bold 1.2em sans-serif;
height: 7.031em;
width:15em;
margin-left: 1.25em;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
Keep in mind that block elements, whether inline or not, have little built-in margins on top of the margin-left that you've added.
If you make these changes, your page should zoom beautifully and your link will fill out its container vertically, but be a specified width to keep it clean. Never use px or percentages if you want to avoid zoom slop. The body container is 100% by default, but it holds everything and therefore the things in the center seem to grow outward toward the edges and therefore do not show any visible effect from the body not being set based on em, and it also makes the page naturally friendly with a variety of screen resolutions.
I hope this helps.
Edit:
As I mentioned, I lost some of my certainty. The line:
font: bold 1.2em sans-serif;
Does something that makes the container be larger than 7.031em removing that line fixes the problem, but I do not know the remedy if you insist on a font size of 1.2em. I tried setting height to 6.831em instead of 7.031em and it did not do the trick.
A few more tips:
1) If you still feel that you need a margin, perhaps margin-right would better suit you so you don't have random slack space to the left.
2) The CSS I provided does not adjust for the vertical alignment of your link text; to fix it add line-height:7.031em; to the .button class. Note: this method only words with single lines of text!!!
I've got some text that is roughly 20 lines. Most lines are short, but some are long. The text is inside a column and the page has two columns. The problem is that long lines are causing interacting badly with the float. Instead of to columns, I get one column stacked on top of the other.
I googled around and I think I should be able to use word-wrap, but adding it to my css does nothing. What am I missing?
Here's css.
.two{
float: right;
width: 45%;
margin-right: 2.5%;
margin-left: 2.5%;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
If there's a better way to do this, I'm all ears.
Edit: Here's a jsfiddle link.
Your footer is set at 100% width, thats fine but you have a 2px border on it. This brings the elements total width over 100% and such it will create a scrollbar, change width to 98%/99% or the exact amount of pixels and it should work (or just remove the border)
This was an issue that only appeared in Chrome.
I found this post, which gave me the solution: http://ryan.stawarz.com/tech-tidbits/chrome-table-cells-not-word-wrapping-correctly/
I added these line to my the appropriate section of my CSS file and all was fixed.
table-layout: fixed;
word-wrap: break-word;
