I'm sorry, I'll admit I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to HTML. But I can't see where I'm going wrong. I've declared the page to be aligned center, but for some reason invisible to me, it won't actually align!
My code is here...

I apologise if this question has already been asked, I'm still getting to know Stack Overflow. Thanks in advance :).
Let's start with a stripped down (and working) solution: http://jsfiddle.net/WDTCK/1/
Major Points
<center> is obsolete* (it's also an illegal parent for body, and unclosed in your example)
align=center is obsolete*
A simple way to center something using CSS is to assign a container element a width and margin: 0 auto
Like this:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 600px;
}
Minor Points
Always prefer styles declared separate from the markup
Always declare styles using CSS (not deprecated properties like bgcolor="#B90D32")
Make sure you are using headings correctly. I see H1, H3, and H6. Headings should represent the outline of your document; they should not be used just for formatting.
Here's a cleaner example which demonstrates better semantics: http://jsfiddle.net/WDTCK/2/
* "obsolete and non-conforming, and [...] must not be used by authors."
Put this inside the body
<div align = "center">
<!--somecodes-->
</div>

To explain what I wish to achieve, lets say I have a long css document with many classes. I have several different "h1" tags and "h2" tags, "iframe", "ul", and many have different classes. Is it possible for all "h1" or other tags, regardless of class, to be grouped together and all "iframe" are grouped together in one group in Notepad++.
h1.left {
font-family: Papyrus;
font-size: 45px;
color: white;
margin-left: 15px;
}
h1.center {
font-family: Papyrus;
font-size: 30px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<pre>PS: All code in this document is just
so it would be seen as I meant it to be,
and I hope you can read it right.<pre>
<!--For example:-->
+ h1
<!--And if i roll the h1 down, i can get all h1 in the document:-->
<ul>
<li> h1.left</li>
<li>h1.center <li>
<li>h1.right<li>
<!--And if i open those again, I will get all the code that is inside them-->
</body>
</html>
Not sure whether Notepad++ can run SASS but it sounds like what you are after.
h1 {
color: white;
font-family: Papyrus;
text-align: center;
&.left {
font-size: 45px;
}
&.center {
font-size: 30px;
}
}
I was wondering if someone had an answer as to why the CSS for my HTML file only appears to be formatted in Google Chrome, but appears not formatted in Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer. First time post over here, so feedback would be much appreciated.
Here's my CSS and then my HTML:
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #777;
}
body {
width: 70%;
margin: 0 auto;
font: 100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 1em 50px;
background: white;
border-bottom: 10px solid gold;
}
h1 {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
margin: 0 0 .4em;
color: #ddd;
background-color: rgb(44, 45, 140);
padding: 5px 10px;
}
p {
line-height: 1.6;
text-align: justify;
width: 60%;
margin: 0;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: red;
}
a:hover {
color: black;
}
//And here's my HTMl

<h1>HTML and CSS</h1>
<p>Page 2</p>
<p>One way to visualize how HTML and CSS work together is to think about a new building under construction. As the building goes up, the structure of the building is built first. At just the structural level, all you see is the frame of the new building, and other than the basic shape, you don’t really know how the building is going to look. Once the frame is complete, the “skin” of the building is added. This could be brick, wood, glass, stucco, or any number of outer materials that determine what the final look of the building will be.</p>
<p>HTML and CSS work much the same way. HTML gives us the structure, or “frame”, of our pages. We can use CSS to then control how this structure looks, where elements are positioned, and add additional decorative styling. What’s more, much the same way a building can change dramatically by adding a new façade; web pages can change their visual design by simply changing the page’s CSS.</p>
<p>This separation of structure and presentation creates a very flexible and efficient workflow where the structure of pages is independent of how the pages are presented. This allows you to update styling without changing page content, and provide different visual designs based on the context of where the page is being displayed.</p>
</body>
</html>
if your structure project
root
index.html
style.css
If you include style.css,
<link href="style.css"/>
But if your structure project
root
index.html
assets
style.css
You can include location style.css
<link href="assets/style.css"/>
Problem has been resolved, thank you to everyone who has helped me with this. The problem was that I was using <.style> tags in the css file which is a HTML tag, which is not read properly in the css making varying things happen.
I working on an assignment for my HTML class and were getting into .css for external setup.
What I've been noticing is when I move one block of code into anothers spot, the entirety of my webpage changes, but what I moved seems to "no longer exist".
My css code is
<style>
body { background-color: #6699ff;
color: #d5e3ff;
font-family: verdana; }
header { background-color: #6699ff;
color: #003366;
font-family: serif; }
h1 { line-height: 200%; }
nav { font-weight: bold; }
#category { font-style: bold;
background-color: #6699ff;
color: #003366;
font-size: 1.1em; }
footer { font-size: 0.60em;
font-style: italic; }
</style>
And the page looks like: http://i.imgur.com/eGthqWR.jpg
But when I move the the body to where the header is
<style>
header { background-color: #6699ff;
color: #003366;
font-family: serif; }
body { background-color: #6699ff;
color: #d5e3ff;
font-family: verdana; }
h1 { line-height: 200%; }
nav { font-weight: bold; }
#category { font-style: bold;
background-color: #6699ff;
color: #003366;
font-size: 1.1em; }
footer { font-size: 0.60em;
font-style: italic; }
</style>
The page ends up looking like this... http://i.imgur.com/GxTfpTs.jpg
I'm really confused as to why it only uses the second "block" to actually get what the page should look like.
I can edit in my index page if you need to see that as well, but I'm pretty sure it's just an issue with how I'm coding the css file.
Here's the Index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<link rel= "stylesheet" href="fishcreek.css">

If anyone knows whats wrong with mine, or why it seems to be doing that, I'd love to know! Thanks in advance -John
As a temporary fix to the problem, I was able to add a small single line of code as the "fodder" to being skipped and the header now works the way it's supposed to, and the rest is all according to plan!
THEFIX! {background-color: #6699ff;}
That's all I had to do and it works... kinda, I just hope that I can figure out how to get rid of "thefix" so it works without it.
Thanks for the help everyone, sorry that it wasn't worded very well and probably didn't make much sense, but yea... temporary workarounds ftw
You shouldn't use <style> and </style> in your css files — it's a html tags, not css syntax.
What's going on in your case:
You are trying to apply css rules to <style> body selector or <style> header selector depending on the order. There is no such elems in your html, so it in fact doesn't applies your first rule.
I try something like this, and change the order css code for header and body the result is same.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
/*
body { background-color: #6699ff;
color: white;
font-family: verdana; }
header { background-color: #6699ff;

font-family: serif; }
*/
header { background-color: #6699ff;
color: red;
font-family: serif; }
body { background-color: #6699ff;
color: white;
font-family: verdana; }
</style>

I am currently working on a practice example website as part of my Computer Science GCSE course. I am having real trouble with the navigation CSS. The website is very much in progress, so I know it's not great, but here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

</body>
</html>
And here is the CSS:
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.wrapper {
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
}
.head {
text-align: center;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 32px;
}
.nav li h2 a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
font-family: "Times New Roman";
width: 366px;
float: left;
}
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}
.nav_contain {
border-top: 5px #990000 solid;
border-bottom: 5px #990000 solid;
}
I would like to have the navigation bar between, the two borders of the navigation container, but they are not aligned properly. Please can you provide a solution below. Thank You.
You can add overflow: auto to the .nav container. This will prevent its height from collapsing because it only contains floated elements.
.nav {
list-style: none;
width: 1100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
}
Alternatively, adding this to .nav_contain has a similar effect.
Add this
.nav li{
display:inline-block;
}
and remove the h2 tags.
You may also have to reduce the size of the "a" tags to get them to stay in a line on screen. I'm on a 1280px monitor at the moment and I had to reduce their width to 300px.
Another alternative is to just remove the li tags completely. The links should still display side by side, and because your borders are outside of ".nav" then they should contain it.
If it doesn't work, just let me know.
generally try to avoid fixed values like
width: 1100px; //(1)
you can replace it for example by
width: 90%; //(2)
the (1) is destroying your site on other resolution than yours. Use (2) to avoid it.
try this code:
http://paste.debian.net/69881/
I want to delete the margin top of my page. I will show you what I mean with a screenshot
You can see in my pic there are a red arrow that indicate my problem. How I can delete this margin?
I post here my css:
div#header {
background-color: #6495ED;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 100% 90deg, black, gray);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, center top, center bottom, from(gray), to(black));
margin: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
body {
background-color: #000000;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 5px;
}
li {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
p {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
padding: 5px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
So any suggestion about how I can delete this margin just above my header?
Here you can see my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>

Set margin: 0; to <h1> element
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/5w6Es/
Same problem as with the margin-left of <ul> elements, or margin-top / margin-bottom of <p> elements, etc.
You need to reset their default styles when using them at the borders of your page.
Try removing padding and margin also for the html element, (not only the body)
Try also to remove the default margin (differently) applied by every browser to the h1 element that you didn't redefined/reset and which is probably collapsing over the #header element
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h1 {
...
margin: 0;
}
You need to add margin:0px; to this CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/vv6DL/
h1 {
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
margin:0px;
}
You don't say what browsers its occuring in.
If you use Firebug and its tools you should be able to see what is causing the spacing and then set that to zero, however, a "cheat" would be to use a reset css script such as Meyers http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ to clean up all those browser inconsistencies.
Try This
h1
{
margin:0px;
}
The best way I've found to do this is by adding the :first-child pseudo-element in your css to your first element such as <h1> or <ul> etc etc within your body-element.
So an example using your mark up above would be
h1:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
This eliminates interfering with all further <h1> elements in your code and also without needless css classes added to your html mark-up.
I hope this helps as I was having the sam problem with little luck with the answers provided.
