I'm learning CSS with The Odin Project and I made a mockup of the Google.com homepage. Everything looked perfect until I resized the browser window and the elements move out of place.
I've been trying out many different methods on how to keep the divs (Google logo, search bar, and buttons) centered when the page is resized.
#header {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -125px;
width: 300px;
padding: 10px;
}
#topbar {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
}
.centered {
width: 960px
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 0.15rem;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
color: #666;
}
.alignleft {
float: left;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
}
p {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #7D7676;

I feel it should be something like this but I'm not sure:
div {
position: relative
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
Note: I'll work on resizing and adding colors to the search bar and buttons after, my biggest concern in finding how to keep the search bar and buttons centered under the Google logo when the browser page is re-sized.
<div> is a block element and by default it takes 100% width of its parent.
If you try to center it using margin: 0 auto, then you won't get the expected result. You have to set width in order the margin to be applied.
See an example below:
.parent{
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
.item{
width: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid green;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="item">
<span>some text</span>
</div>
</div>
You can add the property text-align: center to your <div> ancestor with an id of #search.
#search{ text-align: center; }
This will center the <input> and <button> elements because they retain their inline characteristics.
#header {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -125px;
width: 300px;
padding: 10px;
}

I am fairly new to coding. I am working on recreating the Google home page for The Odin Project and I cannot seem to get the images to sit right in the search bar.
Thus far all of my code and formatting has been done in HTML. I was struggling how to do CSS and push it via Git. anyway...
I got the magnifying glass to sit in the proper spot, but when I went to add the microphone image, it overlaps the magnifying glass. The code is as follows:

I tried changing the class, giving it an id, setting the position to relative and margin right as auto, but i cannot seem to get it to move over to the right side of the search bar.
Additionally, the buttons below the search bar are stuck together. I had each button as its own, but the moment I added them to the same div they have become ajoined and when I try to separate them, the only way i can get them on them aligned is by styling them to the same row. Margin does not help split them apart, I even tried to get them in separate columns no dice. I am really frustrated as i made it pretty far in a day just using HTML. I would like to keep it HTML until I learn how to push CSS to GitHub via Git.
Thank you in advance!!!
You've set the fake-input to position: relative and the image to position: absolute which is already correct, but for the img#mic you need to set it's position right and not left to make it appear in the right side of the fake-input, so I add some style like this
.fake-input img#mic{
position: absolute;
left: unset;
right: 10px;
}
And for the button, it's working if you add the margin for the button like in the updated snippet below

you should give position :relative to class (fake-input);
then give position :absolute to (search.png or mic.
I am trying to center an item in the middle of the layout while also, if possible have ability to control its position if need be with minor css tweaks. In my layout page I cannot figure out why the item I want in the middle of the screen both horizontally and vertically is positioned to the left of the screen. I know the issue is something in my layout I just can't seem to find out what the issue is. Below is a basic version of my layout with the item I can trying to center.
* {

I want to center the entire appRoundedShadow div
You've got to do a couple things here. First, remove the <br> that's currently below the .headerImage div, because it's adding extra space that makes the .headerImage appear like it's not centered vertically.
Then, add the following for .appRoundedShadow:
.appRoundedShadow {
display: block;
height: auto;
margin: auto;
}
Then, make the padding consistent around .bodyContainer (replace it's padding-bottom with padding).
Finally, remove the min-height on the .layoutPage. Let the div's contents determine the height instead.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

height:100%;

To center your report add this style...
.bodyContainer {
text-align: center;
}
You can give the element you wish to center 'display:block' and 'margin:auto'

I am trying to place footer to the bottom of a div using bootstrap without applying margin to the div I want to push to the bottom of the div as footer. This is my attempt but the footer aligns to the top
<div style="background-color:#191919;" class="container">
<h3 style="color: #32CD32; font-family: Copperplate; align:left;">
HEADER TEXT
</h3>
<h5>... reaching out</h5>
<hr style="width:101.6%;">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<nav id="main_menu">
<div align="center" class="menu_wrap">
</div>
</nav>
<div class="row">
<div class="contents">
The contents in each page
</div>
</div>
<footer style="color:#fff; text-align:center;"> © 2016 All rights reserved
<br> For more information visit our website
</footer>
</div>
</div>
Please how can I place the footer to the bottom of .
There are multiple ways to do that, i think the faster way for you is this case is using position: absolute on the footer;
First move out you footer from .col-lg-12 to be a directly children of .container. I also added a class .myFooter
<footer class="myFooter">
copy 2016 All rights reserved
<p>You can visit our website for more info</p>
</footer>
And then the css. Don't use css inline on the markup. I moved the color and text-align to the class.
.myFooter {
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
The last step is to add position:relative to the .container. That way the position:absolute on .myFooter works properly.
.container {
position: relative;
}
Here is a working example:

I've tried margin-bottom and min-height on my body tag with the same height as the footer. The footer container called .contact is not respecting the div .store-items above it. I'm looking for a clean fix, eventually I will learn about flex boxes but I am suspicious there is a simple error in my strategy. Thanks, here is the code:

body{
font-family: Open Sans;
margin-bottom: 70px;
min-height: 500px;
}
/*

.store-items {

max-height: 900px;

padding: 30px;

display: block;
}
.store-items .item-1-3 {

margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;

As K. Daniek wrote, you closed the bodytag before the footer, Apart from that, there is a lot of unnecessary code - no need for all this absolute and relative positioning - use margins for creating distances and leave the position settings at the default.
Here's a codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BLJxyk
Here's the changed CSS:
body {
font-family: Open Sans;
margin-bottom: 70px;
min-height: 500px;
}
.store-items {
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
width: 900px;
max-height: 900px;
border: solid 1px;
padding: 30px;
padding-left: 65px;
}
.store-items .item-1-3 {
display: inline-block;
width: 30%;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
height: 300px;
border: solid 1px;
background-color: #333333;
position: relative;
}
.store-items .item-1-3 img {
height: 190px;
}
.store-items .item-1-3 h3 {
text-align: center;
color: white;
margin-top: 7px;
}
.store-items .item-1-3 p {
left: 170px;
margin-top: 15px;
border: solid 1px black;
width: 40px;
background-color: white;
}
.contact {
height: 70px;
display: block;
}
this is for sure a noobish html question, because i am new at this stuff.
Anyways lets get to it:
1st, check the fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/d6767uur/
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<div class="frontWrapper">
<h1> HELLO </h1>
<div style="margin-left: 750px; margin-top: -435px;"> <img src="frontfruit.jpg"> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
#font-face { font-family: SourceSansPro-Regular; src: url('SourceSansPro-Regular.otf'); }
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.navBar {
width: 205px;
height: 667px;
background-color: #55AE3A; //hover = 398a20
}
.greyline {
width: 205px;
height: 1px;
background-color: darkgrey;
}
.menu {
font-family: 'SourceSansPro-Regular';
color: white;
font-size: 25px;
opacity: 0.64;
height: 40px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.menu:hover {
background-color: #398a20;
}
.stuffwithsmall {
color: #75715e;
font-family: helvetica;
margin-top: 320px;
}
Question: why is that header going down below the main menu, and how do i change it, so that it goes to the right of the menu?
Your navbar div goes down that far because .stuffwithsmall class is inside it and has a huge margin-top. You can fix that by moving it lower, after the closing tag of navbar div.
In css, change:
.navbar {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
