I am able to center my elements horizontally, but not vertically. I found couple of questions on stackoverflow regarding the same issue but the suggestions in those didn't work for some reason. Any suggestions? This is what I am going for: http://i62.tinypic.com/n4gzcw.png
Here is what I have so far:
<style>
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: red;
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}
.datetime {
width: 50%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 15%;
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 3%;
background-color: yellow;
text-align: center;
}
.left {
width: 25%;
float: left;
}
.left img {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
max-width: 80px;
max-height: 80px;
}
.mid {
width: 50%;
text-align: center;
float: left;
padding-top: 5%;
font-size: 1em;
}
.right {
width: 25%;
float: left;
}
.right img {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
max-width: 80px;
max-height: 80px;
}
.stadium {
width: 50%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<div class="datetime">26 August 2014<br />12:00pm</div>
<div class="main">
<div class="left"><img src="http://dejaniskra.comze.com/ManchesterUnitedUpcomingFixture/logos/mkdons.png" /></div>
<div class="mid">MK Dons vs Manchester United</div>
<div class="right"><img src="http://dejaniskra.comze.com/ManchesterUnitedUpcomingFixture/logos/manchesterunited.png" /></div>
</div>
<div class="stadium">Stadium:mk - Milton Keynes</div>
</div>
You can wrap your content with .container-inner and add styles:
.container-inner{
height: 150px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -75px;
width: 100%;
}
you can find the working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/Lkfdxm13/
Creating a partial CSS layout and then attempting to adapt it to another strategy can be fraught with problems. My suggestion would be to create a clean set of html wrappers with only background colours and work on employing one of the solutions that you've found, for example How to verticaly align into the center of the content of a div with defined width/height?. Once you have a working layout then you can move your content in.
If you come across a problem that you can't solve then you can post a specific CSS question and the answers will probably be a lot more forthcoming.

I wonder why mainCountainerHeadLogo does not stretch parent div mainCountainerHead height?
If I scale the page, both mainCountainerHeadTitle and mainCountainerHeadMenu stretch mainCountainerHead just fine.

In answer to your question:
That's because the float property puts the HTML elements out of the normal page flow, and this causes what you're experiencing. Its effect is similar to position: absolute which is to move the element to "a different layer".
How to solve it?
Well... there are a lot of ways to achieve what you want, and almost all of them requires to refactorize your code. Actually, you have a lot of code that makes it difficult to achieve your goal. You should get rid of float and start using other technics like Flexbox.
I could show you a solution if you provide a sketch of the layout you want.
change the CSS for img to this
.mainCountainerHeadLogo img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: auto
}
Please see the below code and screenshot. Can anyone please explain why there are white gaps between the divs and how to remove them? I would like the divs sit next to one another without any margin between them

You could try to remove all your position: absolutes, as they make things complicated. What you want is: three boxes next to each other, then three boxes next to each other below it. If you float them to the left, you solve this problem. I have amended your CSS, just copy and paste and you can see the gaps disappear because floating elements don't care about whitespaces. There are other difficulties involved with floating, but it does solve your problem.
I have also removed everything I didn't need to get my point across.
#containerdiv {
width: 1184px;
height: 626px;
position: absolute;
margin-top:-338px;
margin-left:-552px;
top:50%;
left:50%;
}
// I added this to float all the divs inside your container to float
#containerdiv div {
float: left;
}
#centerdiv {
// I removed position: absolute from every box, as well as line-heights, align and display
width: 1024px;
height: 576px;
background-color: #fff;
}
#lowercenterdiv {
background-color: #ff00ff;
width: 1024px;
height: 50px;
text-align:center;
}
#lowerleftdiv {
background-color: #00ff00;
width: 80px;
height: 50px;
}
#leftdiv {
background-color: #ff000f;
width: 80px;
height: 576px;
}
#rightdiv {
background-color: #000fff;
width: 80px;
height: 576px;
}
#lowerrightdiv {
background-color: #fff000;
width: 80px;
height: 50px;
}
Add this to your css:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This is a weird thing in how html is interpreted. The whitespace between the divs is rendered as a space. There are many ways to solve this, and none of them are very pretty.
One way is like this:
<div id="leftdiv">
<img class="arrowimg" src="leftarrow.png">
</div>
<div id="centerdiv">
</div>
<div id="rightdiv">
<img class="arrowimg" src="rightarrow.png">
</div>
<div id="lowerleftdiv">
?
</div>
<div id="lowercenterdiv">
?
</div>
<div id="lowerrightdiv">
?
</div>
Hope its fix

hello I have a problem with vertical-align: middle;
.wp{
width: 100px;
height: 500px;
background-color: #000000;
}
.sub{
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background-color: red;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="wp">
<div class="sub"></div>
</div>
I want to div witch has .sub class will be vertical center of .wp div. plz help me.
Sorry for my bad english.
As an alternative, you can use transform's translateY method, like
transform: translateY(-50%);
Works here: http://jsfiddle.net/r5z8gjgu/embedded/result/
vertivcal-align works with table-cell. look how it works in jsfiddle.
this is the html and css
<div class="table">
<div class="tableRow">
<div class="wp">
<div class="sub"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.table {
display: table;
width: 100px;
}
.tableRow{
display: table-row;
height: 400px;
}
.wp {
display: table-cell;
background-color: tomato;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.sub {
height: 200px;
background-color: green;
}
also you can achieve this by "relative" and "absolute" positions
.wp{
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 500px;
background-color: #000000;
}
.sub{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background-color: red;
vertical-align: middle;
}
After looking at your questions I was curious and a quick google search gave me the following already from stackoverflow:
Vertically Aligning Divs
http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html
http://jsfiddle.net/ktxpP/3/
In an attempt to not just provide a link answer:
The snippet below belongs to Lalit :
You can vertically align a div in other div. For this you must define css like this example on fiddle. Just see the small demo that vertically align a innerDiv in outerDiv.
HTML
My Vertical Div CSS
.outerDiv {
display: inline-flex; <== This is responsible for vertical alignment
height: 400px;
background-color: red;
color: white; }
.innerDiv {
margin: auto 5px; <== This is responsible for vertical alignment
background-color: green; } .innerDiv class margin must be as margin: auto *px;
[* can be your desired value.]
display: inline-flex property is supported in latest(updated/current
versions) browsers with HTML5 support.
Always try to define height of vertically align div (i.e. innerDiv)
for any further compatibility issue.
.wp{
width: 100px;
height: 500px;
background-color: #000000;
display:inline-flex; <--
}
.sub{
width: 100%;
height: 20%;
background-color: red;
margin:auto; <--
}
<div class="wp">
<div class="sub"></div>
</div>
If I understand you correctly, you want something like this
.wp{
width: 100px;
height: 500px;
background-color: #000000;
}
.sub{
position:absolute;
top: 250px;
width: 100px;
height: 20%;
background-color: red;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="wp">
<div class="sub"></div>
</div>
Hope that helps.
this is my solution try this
<html>
<head>
<style>
.wp{
width: 10%;
height: 10%;
float: left;
background-color: green;
border: 1px solid #00FF 00;
margin: 0.5%;
position: relative;
}
.sub
{
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background-color: red;
position: absolute;
}
.center{
margin: 0 auto;
left: 25%;
}
.right{
left: 50%;
}
.middle {
top: 25%;
}
.bottom {
top: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wp">
<div class="sub center middle"></div>

}
UPDATED
I removed some parts for you, to make it easier to see how it works. Now you should be able to add back your other images etc.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/UKAEu/2/
HTML
<div id="header">
<img src="http://www.youtharts.ie/sites/youtharts.ie/files/NYCI%20Logo%20Full%20JPG_2.jpg" id="youthcouncil" />
</div>
CSS
#header {
height: 100px;
width: 500px;
background-color: #993333;
}
#youthcouncil {
height: 80px;
width: 180px;
margin-top: 10px;
position: relative; /* make it moveable */
left: 50%; /* push left edge to center */
margin-left: -90px; /* push back half its width */
}
I have the following HTML snippet:
<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="topBar">
<p>testing</p>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="broadcastBar">
<p>testing</p>
</div>
<div class="mainBody">
<p>more testing</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Here is my CSS:
div.main {
}
div.topBar {
background-color: Black;
color: White;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
div.broadcastBar {
background-color: Gray;
width: 300px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
div.content {
background-color: Yellow;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
top: 50px;
left: 0px;
height: 100%;
}
My question is this. As you can see by the markup and CSS, I'm trying to have divs be the sections of the screen. But because <div class="content" /> has a position of absolute, it is causing the div to push below the browser window by 50px (which is what it is relative to the topBar).
I've tried making it so that the content div doesn't have to be position absolute, but everything just pushes the divs all around and the div edges are no longer flush to each other or the browser window.
Any idea what I can do hear to alleviate my issue?
Edit
Added desired output: this screenshot is currently what the above markup and CSS render. This is what I'm going for (for the most part, without the extended/scroll bar effect). I want to have my divs flush against each other and to the browser window.
What is the best way to do this if not through absolute positioning?
What you are going to want to learn is using some standard formatting practises with float.
Using absolute to position your elements will in the long run hurt you. If all your elements are using float, you will be able to better control their appearance.
For Example:
div.topBar {
background-color: Black;
color: White;
height: 20%;
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
div.broadcastBar {
background-color: Gray;
width: 70%;
height: 80%;
float: left;
}
div.content {
background-color: Yellow;
width: 30%;
height: 80%;
float: left;
}
#EDIT:
So you Have 3 divs and you will want to stack them sequencially.
<div class="header">headerdiv</div>
<div class="left">leftdiv</div>
<div class="right">rightdiv</div>
Float follows this sequence so that by using these properties, elelments will be forced to fall after one another based on space constraints:
div.header {
background-color: Black;
color: White;
height: 20%;
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
div.left {
background-color: Gray;
height: 80%;
width: 70%;
float: left;
}
div.right {
background-color: Yellow;
height: 80%;
width: 30%;
float: left;
}
#QUESTION:
So If you need to use pixel measurements, then you will need to encapsulate all of the elements in another container with the max width and height that your layout will be.
<div class="container">
<div class="header">headerdiv</div>
<div class="left">leftdiv</div>
<div class="right">rightdiv</div>
</div>
div.container{
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
}
div.header {
background-color: Black;
color: White;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
}
div.left {
background-color: Gray;
height: 80px;
width: 70px;
float: left;
}
div.right {
background-color: Yellow;
height: 80px;
width: 30px;
float: left;
}
