I've been trying for hours to center a table div on a website I'm creating, and I can't figure it out. I've tried using margin: 0 auto with a defined width, and that doesn't work. I've also 'margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;", but that didn't work either. I'm really not sure what else to try.
Also, I'm trying to fix my footer to stay on the bottom of the page. It'll look great on one page, coming after all the content, but on another page it will be right on top of the content. Should I make another topic for that, or can someone help me out with that in this one?
HTML for the page with the table:
#body {

u have some problems with the globe styling like u style the table and it's element together
Any way here's the solution in js fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/phonexdoda/ze6dddoh/
i changed the #content style to
#content {
width: 1020px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
position: relative;
}
add $tablename style
#tablename{
margin: auto;
}
and last the table styling
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
text-align: center;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
and for the #name
#name {
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
position: relative;
}
And the footer need this
#footer {
position: relative;
clear: both;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
height: 60px;
background-color: #6cf;
border: 2px solid black;
}
If you use text-align: center; and vertical-align: middle; in the content class it will try and format the contents of the div to those attributes. These don't apply to the actual div itself.
Create a new div around the content div, like content_container and apply text-align: center; and vertical-align: middle; to the class.
This will center and vertically align your content div.

I'm very new to css, html and asp.net. I'm trying to clone a website in order to learn web tech concepts. Well, when i write everything in inline css, everything works fine. But when put these inline css codes into an external file, it's all messed up. How can i fix this? I always face this trouble when I use external css. Some of my previous codes are affecting my following or later codes and I face this trouble.
I don't understand how css works. I use classes with dots, ids with # but can't uderstand yet how to put them in an order between my html codes.
I want to add a JSFiddle When I hover on recipes there's a new div pops up. There are 3 new divs in that popped up div. The 1st div has a list holding the info of soup, legume etc. I want those 3 divs stay next to each other. I want to be able to style them. I don't know how to style nested elements by using class and id. This leads to trouble. To clarify nested elements have a look at this please:
div
paragraph
div
list
a
how to style these elements from an external CSS file instead of inline CSS such as style="bla bla bla"
here's my codes and pics.

this is what my codes do:
this is what i want it to do:
this is how my website looks.
when put these inline css codes into an external file, it's all messed up. how can i fix this? i always face this trouble when i use external css.
You can your css in a separate .css file and import it to your HTML file inside the <head></head> tags.
I think the below example explains it clearly.
Here I have my CSS in a separate .css file called myStyle.css. Then I have imported it to my HTML file. Remember in this example, both files are inside the same directory. Of course, you can put them anywhere and change the href accordingly.
/* myStyle.css */
.table {
border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 70px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
<head>
<link href="myStyle.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
</body>
The code share in the question
is not separating your CSS code into another file, but it is putting it inside the file as text, which is not evaluated as CSS. First, try to put that CSS code into a style tag as a proof-of-concept:
<style type="text/css">
.table {
border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 70px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.table a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}
.table td {
width: 25%;
font-size: 15px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: top;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid;
}
.table td .divContainer {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-radius: 5px;
width: 732px;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 52px;
border-width: 1px;
background-color: #ffffff;
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
display: none;
}
.table td .divContainer div {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
width: 240px;
height: 300px;
background-color: brown;
margin-left: 2px;
margin-right: 2px;
margin-top: 52px;
float:left;
position: absolute;
display: inline;
}
.table td .divContainer ul li a {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #ddd6d6;
width: 244px;
height: 24px;
padding: 3px 0 0 0;
margin: 4px 0 0 8px;
border-radius: 25px;
text-decoration: none;
color: blue;
text-align: left;
font-size: 16px;
}
.table td:hover .divContainer {
background-color: #b50c0c;
display: block;
}
</style>
Once that works, you can proceed in separating the CSS code into a file.
Linking a CSS file
Let's create a CSS called style.css. Remember where it is and add this code to your head tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/my/correct/path/style.css">
Now, load your page in the browser. Look at the Console of your Dev Tools. If you see an error that states that the file was not successfully loaded, then you have specified the wrong path. Fix the path until loading your page no longer complains about the file not being loaded correctly.
Moving the CSS
Now copy the inner content of your style tag discussed earlier and paste into your style.css. Don't copy the <style type="text/css">, nor the </style. Remove the style tag. Reload the page. Make sure that for now style.css does not contain anything else. Work until the page reflects your styling.
Resolve conflicts
Now, assuming that you have different external CSS that conflicts with your rule, the first question is: do you need the external CSS? If not, then don't load it. If yes, then adjust your rules to be more specific than the remote CSS's rules if you want your CSS to be reflected. Change your structure if necessary. Work on your structure and design bit-by-bit until you fix all conflicting rules and your page looks good.
Test in several browsers
When you are done with your changes, load your page in several browsers and see whether some browsers don't handle your design well. If so, find out what the problems are and fix them.
I'm wondering why the elements in my nav bar appear to have blank space above them? I've checked the margin and padding and there doesn't seem to be an issue, but there is a large space above my #logo and #searchbox which is messing up my layout, how can I get rid of the space above the elements?
Thanks a lot!

Your <nav> element has a padding of 10px.
EDIT: The absolutely positioned search form seems to be causing the problem. I made the following changes and the space went away:
#searchbox_div {
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#searchbox {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
font-family: arial;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 26px;
float: left;
}
#main_nav{
display: inline-block;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 4em;
margin-left: 1em;
}
I noticed that you`re not using a css reset. A CSS Reset (or “Reset CSS”) is a short, often compressed (minified) set of CSS rules that resets the styling of all HTML elements to a consistent baseline.
In case you didn’t know, every browser has its own default ‘user agent’ stylesheet, that it uses to make unstyled websites appear more legible. For example, most browsers by default make links blue and visited links purple, give tables a certain amount of border and padding, apply variable font-sizes to H1, H2, H3 etc. and a certain amount of padding to almost everything. Ever wondered why Submit buttons look different in every browser?
Obviously this creates a certain amount of headaches for CSS authors, who can’t work out how to make their websites look the same in every browser.
Using a CSS Reset, CSS authors can force every browser to have all its styles reset to null, thus avoiding cross-browser differences as much as possible.
Also, sometimes if I have a problem with blank spaces, I run the html all together so there are no blank spaces between the tags. To make it look neat, I insert carriage returns in the middle of the html tag.
By default, most browsers have an 8px or so margin that is built in or "Added" to the page style. The super easy way to eliminate this is through CSS. Simply use:
html,body{
margin:0;
}
You can also add:
padding:0;
If it's still giving you problems!
You appear to need to reset/normalize your css as that
html,body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
The <nav> element is configured to have 10 pixels of padding on all sides.
I want to have a navigation bar with a logo inside it but as I add the logo the line doesn't look fine!
The problem is when I add the pic its like the picture and the text doesnt stay in the same line! not that the line breaks but the text slides down a little while it shouldn't.
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;

For starters we need to sort out your html.
Then look at your css your <a> if you're using padding etc you need to make it a block level element.
remove the height 50px from your nav that's not something you want to be giving height to. Instead use your padding of <a> to get the desired height it helps with responsive.
But because we want it to sit beside your image use inline-block
also do not use CSS to define an tag's height and width you should use the tags attributes so that rendering happens smoothly.
Also you need to use alt on images.
your image also needs the following css rule's:
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
So that it sits the way you want it beside your link.
Also if that is your site's logo it should not be inside <nav>
If it's an icon relative to the link then instead of using <img> use background-image
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
ul,
li {
list-style: none;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
margin: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;

<img id="gnb_logo" src="../images/logo.gif" height="30" alt="GNB Logo" />
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
If you add vertical-align: middle to both the a.gnb and img#gnb_logo, that will probably fix your problem.
Pay attention to the top/bottom padding on your link so that it does overflow the 50px height that you assigned to the parent container.
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
img#gnb_logo {
height: 30px;
margin: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<div id="gnb_bg">
<a class="gnb" href="../feedbacks/feedbacks.html">feedbacks</a>
<img id="gnb_logo" src="http://placehold.it/100x50" />
</div>
</nav>
First your a.gnb class should have a display-block if you want to render padding on an inline tag like a "a" tag. And your line-height must be of 22px if you want to make it fit in a 50px height container (14px + 14px padding top and bottom + 22px line-height equal 50px)
Second, to make your image alignment just add vertical-align: middle to the img#gnb_logo rule:
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg{
margin:0px;
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
border-right:10px solid black;
}
a.gnb{
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:26px;
border-right:1px solid #448811;
padding-right:2.5%;
padding-left:2.5%;
padding-top:14px;
padding-bottom:14px;
margin:0px;
line-height: 22px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb{
text-align:center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
You need to remove the margin.
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:0px;
}

Here's the JS Bin to test: http://jsbin.com/oliwit/1/
There are generally a lot of misconceptions on how to utilize the vertical-align within CSS, I found this post very helpful on how to get a full understanding of it... http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/
Problem:
https://postimg.cc/image/tunhwh8qj/
The trouble I am currently having is that the border around my body is not outlining everything. As I have recently learned I'm guessing this means an element is out of the flow due to floating? However I am not certain how to fix it in this case.

thanks in advance guys!!
This is happening because your body has fix height of 100%.Change body tag css as:
height:auto;
min-height: 100%
if this doesn't work then add following with this:
overflow:auto;
Probably better NOT to use the body element for your container. Instead, just add
<div class="container"></div>
around your code and in your CSS changehtml to body and body to div.container.
body{
font-family: sans-serif;
background-color:#464E54;
height: 100%;
}
div.container{
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
background-color: white;
border: 3px solid black;
padding: 0;
}
Edit: I completely missed the 100%, that's gotta be it.
Add overflow: hidden to your body element. When elements are floated it will not push the parent container height past it unless there is a clearer
