I have tried everything I know, and I still can't get it to work. I want the four images to be like in the screen shot, but a lot bigger (600px centered). When I do this, however, it causes the entire container to be shifted to the left for some reason unknown to me.
HTML snippet:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
..
</div>
<div class="menu">
...
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="photos">
<h2> Here are some photos.....</h2>
<img src="img1">
<img src="img2">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS snippet:
body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container{
background-color: #AAC1CC;
max-width: 1440px;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.content{
margin-left: 20px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
.photos {
background-color: pink; /* for testing */
width: 500px; /*for testing - normally 100% */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.photos img{
width: 100px;
display: block;
border: 2px solid black;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 40px;
margin-bottom: 40px;
box-shadow: 0 0 30px 3px #333;
}
Screenshot:
When the images are small (like 100px) the style is the same across the other tabs. However, if I increase the size of the images > 150px, the entire container shifts to the left by like ~20 pixels. I have tried using <br> between the images instead of display:block but it doesn't make a difference.
Why does this happen?
The only thing I can think of is that when the images are larger they cause the browser to display a scroll bar. As you have set the container width to 100% and the window width is now slightly smaller this could cause the shift that you mention.
I had a similar problem with a large image causing my main container to shift off center. threeandme's post reminded me to experiment with the overflow-y property in the css. I added overflow-y: scroll; into the css for "body" and it stopped it from shifting for me.

I want an image with the size of 250x50px to resize itself (go smaller) according to the window size, in other words, make it responsive.
The #wrapper holds the content for the whole page. The #headerholds the image and the navigation bar.
I know this may be easier with the use of #media screenbut I am looking for a pure CSS approach.
Here is what I am currently using:
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div style="max-width:500px;">
<img id="logo" src="images/logo.jpg" alt="logo" href="#">
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
#header{
height: 100px;
min-width: 300px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
#logo{
float: left;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
width: auto\9; /* ie8 */
}
you have a few issues in your code,
don't use inline-styles,
put the border-bottom in child div of #header
no need for IE hacks
no need for a min-width here.
Note: I don't see why you need this image to get smaller, lets see, its 250x50, when the lower screen are 320px so already fits perfectly
here is a snippet
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
border: dashed red 1px
}
#header > div {
max-width: 500px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
#logo {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
display: block
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div>
<img id="logo" src="//placehold.it/250x50" alt="logo" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
First off, using #media screen is a CSS approach. But if you don't want that, you can just relative units like em or % and give a min-width:
#logo {
width: 20%;
min-width: 100px;
}
thing is, you already put some limits by setting the header to min width 300px and the div inside to max width 500px, so if you want to have more flexibility with those as well, consider different units too.
I am using HTML and CSS.
I can't display all of my content in the middle of the screen for varying display sizes.
I have attempted to use % in place of PX but it's unsuitable for small screen size such as 800*600 pixels.
Also I have performed web searches but my lack of in-depth knowledge of HTML is hindering my progress.
my code is this:
<style type="text/css">
#Line5
{
color: #7B7BC0;
background-color: #7B7BC0;
border-width: 0px;
}
#wb_Text1
{
background-color: transparent;
border: 0px #8B8B00 solid;
padding: 0;
}
<body>
<hr id="Line5" align="center" style="position:relative;top:28px;width:803px;height:93px ;z-index:0;">
<div id="wb_Text1" style="position:absolute;left:406px;top:58px;width:308px;height:36px;text-align:center;z-index:1;">
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-size:32px;"><strong><em>SAMPLE TEXT</em></strong></span></div>
can someone correct this piece of code for me?
Don't know what your desired output is like. But check this out.
Click Here for Demo
<div id="wb_Text1">
<span class="head"><strong><em>SAMPLE TEXT</em></strong></span>
</div>
Here updated code and its working fine.
<div id="wb_Text1" style="position:relative;display:table;margin-left:auto;width:100%;height:36px;text-align:center;margin-right:auto;z-index:1;background-color: #7B7BC0;">
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-size:32px;"><strong><em>SAMPLE TEXT</em></strong></span></div>
Not clear about your question but I think Either of the examples below could work for you ;
if you want it to be standards compliant, use this in your stylesheet:
body {
text-align:center;
}
#mainContainer {
margin:0 auto;
}
the body thing makes it work in IE, the margin:0 auto; makes it center in most other browsers.
you might have to go in and reset some of your main containers to text-align:left; because the body text-align:center sometimes cascades down into the site content, but you can counteract that by adding
text-align:left;
to #mainContainer
Or,
There may be better methods, but this works in all browsers so far :
body {width: /*fixed width or percentage here*/; height: auto; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; background: #; color: #; font: ; text-align: center;}
or set body width to 100% and then just make a container div for your page
#container {width: /*fixed width or percentage here*/; height: auto; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; background: #; color: #; font: ; text-align: center;}
Also not quite sure what you're asking for. I'm interpreting it as you wanting the div to be centered vertically and horizontally, so that's what I'm going for.
HTML
<div id="wb_Text1">
<b>SAMPLE TEXT</b>
</div>
CSS
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%; //these two are so that the automatic margins work for the div.
}
#wb_Text1 {
height: 93px; //or whatever height you want
width: 300px; //or whatever width you want (can be in %)
background-color: #7B7BC0;
border: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font: 32px Arial;
line-height: 93px; //should be same as the height if you've only got one line of text and you want it vertically centered in the div
color: #fff;
text-align:center;
margin: calc(0.5 * (50% - 46.5px)) auto; //first value makes it vertically centered, the second makes it horizontally centered.
margin: -webkit-calc(0.5 * (50% - 46.5px)) auto; //for Safari
}
Here's what's happening inside the calc():
50% gives you half the total height of the page,
46.5px is half of the div's height, which in this case is 93,
50% - 46.5px gives you the amount of space needed to center the div vertically

i thank all those who helped me. Problem was solved by adding the following code.
<style type="text/css">
div#container

margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;

Thank you so much that help a rookie !
I am trying to get a centered in the space that is left empty by a sidebar. This is how I'd like it to look like:
I actually managed to make this work OK for most browsers using margin: auto for the div in question, while setting overflow: hidden:
Fiddle here
CSS
#header {
height: 50px;
background: #224444;
color: #fff;
}
#container div {
padding: 1em;
}
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 200px;
background: #aaa;
height: 300px;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
PAGE HEADER
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
Sidebar
</div>
<div id="content">
Centered Content
(Works everywhere but on IE9)
</div>
</div>
However, it does not work with IE9. It is strange as IE8 works OK!
I am running out of ideas, so I thought that maybe someone knows what is going on? The trick seems to work perfectly everywhere else.
NOTE: Please note that the content div should be flexible as it is in the demo. As the available space decreases, it should change size and squeeze in.
Isolate the centering from the floating
This affects IE9/10.
It works fine if the floated element is removed, or if width is used instead of max-width. The presence of floated content, combined with the use of margin:auto and max-width instead of width, appears to be confusing IE9+.
To fix this, put the centered content in a wrapper div, so that the centering of the content can be separated from the floating of the sidebar. In other words, too much is happening layout-wise in a single div, more than IE9+ can handle. So split up the #content div into two separate divs.
#header {
height: 50px;
padding: 1em;
background: #224444;
color: #fff;
}
#content-wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
padding: 1em;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 200px;
padding: 1em;
background: #aaa;
height: 300px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
PAGE HEADER
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
Sidebar
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content">
Centered Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
This tested fine in IE7/8/9/10. On a side note, because a wrapper div was added, the padding: 1em; now has to be added to each element individually.
IE is notorious for not working without proper doctypes.
Try adding the HTML5 one
<!DOCTYPE html>
Floats are a tricky business. Strictly speaking, they're only supposed to affect the inline content that flows around them, so margins acts like the floats aren't even there.
Try this instead:
#container {text-align:center}
#content {display:inline-block;text-align:left}
This should make the content box act like an inline element, and therefore appear centered in the space.
As far as I remeber I've always problems with margin:0 auto because I didn't specify width property.
So everytime you want use margin:auto you propably should write this:
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
width:500px;
}
or in percentage:
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
width:30%;
}
EDIT
If you want to create flexible layout please take a look to bootstrap and fluid grids.
I have a page that has a header, content, and footer. The header and footer are of fixed height, and I'd like the content to adjust its height so that it fits dynamically between the header and footer. I am planning to put a background-image in my content, so it is critical that it actually fills the rest of the unoccupied vertical space.
I used the Sticky Footer approach to ensure that the footer remains on the bottom of the page. This however does not make the content span the entire height of the remaining space.
I have tried several solutions which involved me adding height:100%, height:auto; position:relative but it did not work.
html,
body {
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
header {
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
header nav ul li {
display: inline;
padding: 0 30px 0 0;
float: left;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 0 -30px 0;
/* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
position: relative;
}
#wrapper #content {
background-color: pink;
width: 400px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 0 -30px 100px;
padding: 25px 30px 25px 30px;
}
footer {
margin: -30px 0 0 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: green;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
<div id="logo"></div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>About</li>
<li>Menu</li>
<li>Specials</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<div id="content">
content
<br>goes
<br>here
</div>
</div>
<footer>footer</footer>
The trick about height:100% is that it requires all of the parent containers to be have their heights set as well. Here's an html example
<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>
in order for the container div with a height set to 100% to expand dynamically to the height of the window you need to make sure that the body and html elements have their heights set to 100% as well. so...
html
{
height: 100%;
}
body
{
height: 100%;
}
#container
{
height: 100%;
}
would give you a container that expands to fit your window. then if you need to have footer or header that floats above this window you can do so with z indexing. This is the only solution I've found that fills the vertical height dynamically.
I'm providing a slightly more general solution so it is more useful for others reading this answer and wondering how to apply it to their site.
Assuming you have three divs:
<div id='header'></div>
<div id='contents'></div>
<div id='footer'></div>
where #header is fixed and may have variable height, #contents should consume all remaining vertical space and #footer is fixed and may have variable height you can do:
/* Note you could add a container div instead of using the body */
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#header {
flex: none;
}
#contents {
flex: 1;
height: 100%;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
#footer {
flex: none;
}
Note that this will allow the contents to scroll vertically to show it's whole contents.
You can read more about display:flex here.
Try changing your css to this:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
header {
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
header nav ul li {
display: inline;
padding: 0 30px 0 0;
float: left;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 0 -30px 0;
/* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
position: relative;
}
#content {
background-color: pink;
width: 400px;
padding: 25px 30px 25px 30px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 30px;
top: 150px;
margin-left: 100px;
}
footer {
margin: -30px 0 0 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: green;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
<div id="logo"></div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>About</li>
<li>Menu</li>
<li>Specials</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
<div id="content">
content
<br>goes
<br>here
</div>
</div>
<footer>footer</footer>
You probably don't want to be setting the width, padding, margins, ect. of the wrapper. Also, with absolute positioning you can pull the bottom and top of the content to where you want them.
Here's what you are after, I think.
I spend several hours trying to figure this out too and finally have a robust solution without hacks. However, it requires CSS3, which requires a modern browser to support it. So, if this constraint works for you, then I have a real solution for you that works.
http://jsfiddle.net/u9xh4z74/
Copy this code into your own file if you need proof, as the JSFiddle will not actually render the flexbox correctly as embedded code.
Basically, you need to
- set the target container to 100% height, which you seem to already know
- the parent container you set display: flex and flex-direction: vertical (you'll see in the JSFiddle I've also included the alternate styles that do the same thing but are needed for cross browser support)
- you can let the header and footer be their natural heights and dont need to specify anything in that regard
- in the container you want to fill up the remaining space, set flex: 1. You're set! You'll see it works exactly as you semantically have intended. Also in the JSFiddle, I included overflow: auto to demonstrate that if you have even more text than the screen can handle, scrolling works as you would want it to.
<div style="display:flex; flex-direction:vertical;">
...header(s)...
<div style="flex: 1; overflow: auto;">
As much content as you want.
</div>
...footer(s)...
</div>
As a side note, I pursued the option of trying to do this same thing using display: table. It works just fine as well, except that overflowed content does not work as you would expect, instead overflowed content simply expands the container to the size of the content, which I'm pretty sure is not what you want. Enjoy!
Use display:table and display:table-row
Set height:0 for normal divs and height:auto for div that should fill vertical space. Insert a div with {height:100%; overflow-y:auto} into the vertical filler to if the containers height shouldn't expand beyond its preset height.
Behold the power of display:table!
<div style="height:300px;">
<div style="display:table; height:100%; width:100%;border: 1px solid blue;">
<div style="display: table-row; height:0; padding:2px; background-color:yellow;">
Hello
</div>
<div style="display: table-row; height:auto; padding:2px; background-color:green;">
<div style="height:100%; overflow: auto;">
<div style="height: 500px"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="display: table-row; height:0; padding:2px; background-color:yellow;">
Gbai
</div>
</div>
</div>
There is no 100% height from 100% continer height exactly. You can't solve it this way. Likewise while using mix of height + margin + padding. This is way straight to hell. I suggest you to take a look for tutorials which are sloving this page layout.
Hey guys I am having trouble with keeping things aligned on my website. Here is an example of what the website should look like:
Now, here is where it makes unaligned.. When I resize the window to be smaller, the Text shifts over like so:
Currently these are the css attributes applied to my tag which is on the text.
#header_title_container {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding-left: 85px;
padding-top: 50px;
}
#header_title {
font-size: 33px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
}
What would the proper way to approach always having "Title" aligned with the corner of the darkest gray box?
Thanks.
Because your title container has padding inside it, the text "Title" is kept at least 85px from the screen edge. Because it's left-aligned, that means its left-hand edge is always at 85px.
So, when your sidebar gets smaller than 85px, the text cannot align with it.
You could fix this by fixing the size of the sidebar, by eliminating the padding-left directive and replacing it with an element sized as the sidebar is (or replacing it with the same amount as your sidebar width!), or by setting min-width on the sidebar.
Is this the kind of result you are after?
