I just started a basic MVC 4 application and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to make two divs appear in blocks instead of next to each other. In my _Layout.cshtml file, I have the following code for the body tag:
<body>
<div style="width: 60%; margin: 0 auto; display: block">
<div id="header">
<div class="headerImage" style="height: 200px; width: 150px; float: left"></div>
</div>
<div id="body" style="display: block">
#RenderBody()
</div>
</div>
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
#RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
And the headerImage class:
.headerImage
{
background: url('#Url.Content("~/Content/Images/foo.jpg")');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:100%;
}
Now in my Index.cshtml view, which gets rendered as part of #RenderBody(), I have a simple button:
<div>
#using (Html.BeginForm("action", "controller"))
{
<input type="submit" value="hello world" />
}
</div>
When I run this, the button is placed right next to the image, even though they are in different divs:
I even tried setting display:block on the divs but that didn't help either. Any idea how to do this?
Looks like you need to clear your second <div>, as follows:
#body {
clear: both;
}

Hi all I think this should be a relatively quick question but since I am a beginner to HTML and CSS I can't seem to figure this out.
I have the following CSS code:
<style>
div.specialspecial {
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 56%;
position: relative;
margin-left: 160px;
}
iframe {
width: 90%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
display: block;
}
</style>
And this html code:
<div class="specialspecial">
<iframe src='dirToLocalHTML' id = 'bg'></iframe>
</div>
It seems that the margin-left set in the div class (which I need as I am using a sidebar on this website) makes it so the content inside the iframe is off center (presumably by 160px). Is there a way for me to use CSS to easily fix this? Or will I need to resort to JavaScript to resize the frame? I am comfortable with learning either approach.
Edit:
Apologies for not providing enough information. Hopefully adding this will help:
This is the body of my html:
<body>
<div class="w3-sidebar w3-bar-block w3-light-grey w3-card-2" style="width:160px;">
<button class="w3-button w3-block w3-left-align" onclick="myAccFunc('demoAcc')">
Accordion <i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i>
</button>
<div id="demoAcc" class="w3-hide w3-white w3-card-2">
Link
Link
</div>
</div>
<div class="specialspecial">
<iframe src='dirToLocalHTML' id = 'bg'></iframe>
</div>
</body>
This code is mainly taken from the example of: https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/tryit.asp?filename=tryw3css_sidebar_accordion
As I am trying to get a similar style for my webpage
I think the best fix is to simply create a container for the iframe that isolates it from the element with the large margin:
<div class="specialspecial">
<div class="pageContent">
<iframe src='dirToLocalHTML' id = 'bg'></iframe>
</div>
</div>
Even with no additional CSS, this should restrain the size of the iframe, which will get its size from the element without the large margin.
It's worth noting that layouts like that, which rely on large margins for side content, are somewhat archaic. Each part of the document should be contained in an element that doesn't care what's happening around it.
<style>
.page-container > * {
display: inline-block;
}
.page-sidebar {
width: 160px;
}
<div class="page-container">
<nav class="page-sidebar"></nav>
<main class="page-content"></main>
<div>

I have a template applied to multiple pages on my website, including the About section. This section has three pages and the layout is the same for each page. The template isn't working correctly on two pages, about2.html and about1.html. Oddly, it works perfectly for about3.html
Previously these two pages worked fine on all browsers I viewed it on, and only recently did I notice it stopped displaying correctly, even though I didn't touch the template or CSS.
Here's one of the pages:
http://thehummingbirdplace.com/about2.html
I've tried rearranging different elements, disabling certain CSS, and deleting sections all together but it doesn't fix the page. When I delete the whole .adRight section or disable the float on it, the text moves back to the the top, but the menu tabs don't line up right. I honestly am not sure what's at the root of the problem, so I can't provide specific code here to focus on.
The css inside about1.html and about2.html should look like this
<style style="text/css">
img { padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; }
#text { width: 850px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
.img-left { flaot:left; }
.img-right { flaot:right; }
</style>
Next, you may clear these divs having class clear on both files - you don't need them, or at least change your .clear class to this, .clear { clear: both; }
<div id="header"><!-- ... --></div>
<div id="adLeft"><!-- ... --></div>
<div class="clear"></div> <!-- take this off -->
<div id="adRight"><!-- ... --></div>
<div class="clear"></div> <!-- take this off -->
<div id="content1"><!-- ... --></div>
<div id="footerLine1"></div>
<div id="footer"><!-- ... --></div>
Change the only img element inside the text block in about1.html to this
<img src="_images/Donna4.png" width="197" height="193" alt="Donna Wright" class="img-left" />
Change the only img element inside the text block in about2.html to this
<img src="_images/hummingbirdLogo.png" width="208" height="145" alt="The Hummingbird Place Logo" class="img-right;">
I've seen some other posts on this but even using their method on my code doesn't seem to be working for me. What am I doing wrong when trying to center these divs?
This example works fine for me (taken from another SO post).
But this one (which is my code) doesn't behave the same and isn't centered properly.
here is my code that is also in my JSFiddle
.pdf-pageimage-container {
display: block;
margin: 0px auto;
border: 1px solid #EEE;
}
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:612px;height:792px;">
<img style="width:612px;height:792px;" />
<div>
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:792px;height:612px;">
<img style="width:792px;height:612px;" />
<div>
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:612px;height:792px;">
<img style="width:612px;height:792px;" />
<div>
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:792px;height:612px;">
<img style="width:792px;height:612px;" />
<div>
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:612px;height:792px;">
<img style="width:612px;height:792px;" />
<div>
<div class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:812px;height:792px;">
<img style="width:812px;height:792px;" />
<div>
you are not ending div tags.
<img>
can work without "/"
and to align horizontally in center use
<div align="center" class="pdf-pageimage-container" style="position:relative;width:792px;height:612px;"></div>
Your HTML is incorrect. You are opening <div> tags but not closing them with </div>, so you are opening lots of nesting div elements.
You can place them in a wrapper div with a fixed width and then center each of them with auto margin.
Let's say that the wrapper has an ID wrapper and the sub-elements all have the class child. In that case you can for example set the following in your CSS
#wrapper{
width: 800px;
}
.child{
margin: 0 auto;
}
First off I would close the endings of the "div" tags like so just to stay valid with your code.
I'll assume that these divs will stack on top of each other so add this to your "pdf-pageimage-container" css class:
.pdf-pageimage-container {
clear : both;
}
If you want the divs to float next to each other one after another you could use this instead
.pdf-pageimage-container {
float : left;
}
Hope this helps.
I've been having a lot of trouble trying to center an external script and I was hoping SO could help me out. I'm designing a page to use a Google widget that uses Google Maps to give directions to an office. Here is my code:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="page_content" runat="server">
<div class="centered">
<span class="header_large_bold">Directions to our office:</span><br /><br />
<span class="header_bold">Please type your address in the top bar and click "Go".</span><br />
<script src="[link to the widget here]"</script>
</div>
</asp:Content>
And here is the CSS for it:
.centered {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
As it is, the text is centered perfectly fine, but the widget from the is left aligned. I can fix this using a tag, but I'm trying to avoid using it as best I can. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
You can insert the tag in a div
<div id="parent">
<script src='...'></script>
</div>
and then center the div..
#parent {
width: 30%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
But it might depend on the script content
Easily put your code between
<div align=center>
and
</div>
:)
User fa7d0 has the exact solution, but maybe a little unclear for the beginner:
Step 1 - Use a div with a "parent" ID to encapsulate your script as follows:
<div id="parent">
<script src='...'></script>
</div>
Step 2 - Go up to the top of your code, probably inside the area where you are defining the header information, and in the style section place the definitions:
<style>
#parent {
width: 30%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
I find it helpful to put all the div styling stuff in one area, all the p styling stuff in one area, etc.
I'd like to be able to position an image (blue) so that what ever size it is, it is always centered relative to the baseline of the div behind (red, not the containing div). The div behind will always be the same size/position.
Preferably this would be using css only as I'm using drupal and I don't know much about editing beyond the tpl files.
Thanks!
EDIT: Here's the layout http://pastebin.com/SisQHM4y
Hi you can do this pure css as like this
css
.wraptocenter {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 500px;
height: 400px;
background:green;
}
HTML
<div class="wraptocenter"><img src="//?" alt="images" /></div>
Live demo http://jsfiddle.net/rohitazad/tvrMp/
More information about this http://www.brunildo.org/test/img_center.html
Perhaps something like this:
<style>
#blue { margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; }
</style>
<div id="red">
<div id="blue">
<img src="?" id="myImg" />
</div>
</div>
EDIT
I see, so you wish to center the x-axis horizontally, not vertically. And that link is a little messy. Perhaps you could try to
<style>
.user-picture { margin-top: auto; margin-bottom: auto; }
</style>
<div class="content">
<div class="profile" typeof="sioc:UserAccount" about="/users/diver1">
<div class="user-picture">
<a href="/users/diver1" title="View user profile." class="active">
<img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://waterworksworldwide.com/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-126-1333572014.gif" alt="Diver1's picture" title="Diver1's picture" />
</a>
</div>
</div>
I am still having a little bit of a hard time seeing where the overlap between areas is as suggested by the red and blue in the question. If there is no overlap with my suggestion then please let me know and perhaps we can try to use some variations with position: absolute;
