Can somebody tell me how to make the work with IE9:
I am trying to make the "center" div to appear in the center.. It works fine with ff and chrome, but I have spend the last 1 hour trying to get it work with IE9. It keep going to the left!
The only way to make it work is by setting text-align to center on the parent container. Anybody knows any other way? More "proper"?
Thanks!
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#center {
width: 200px;
border: 1px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="center">
Hello World!
</div>
</body>
</html>
</code>
IE is notorious for not working without proper doctypes.
Try adding the HTML5 one
<!DOCTYPE html>
View the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xavi3r/bGyPN/
Try removing </code> what is it referring to ?
<div id="center">
Hello World
</div>
#center
{
width:200px;
margin:0 auto;
border:1px solid #CCC;
}

I'm setting a landing page for My new website
I've created an image, and I'm setting it as the background image. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out at all how to get it to be full screen, and scrollable - so you can just scroll up/down to see the full image - but without having any white spaces or anything.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>On The Ropes Boxing! Coming Soon!</title>
<body>
<style>
html {
height: 100%;
margin:0px;
background: url(comingsoon.jpg) no-repeat top center;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: scroll;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
margin:0px;
}
#appcontainer {
position: relative
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
width:560px; height:2220px;
left:20px; top:20px;
}
<img src="comingsoon.jpg" style="minwidth:100%;height:100%;" alt="" />
</style>
</body>
</html>
That is what I have so far. I'm completely new to HTML and CSS, so I'm basically just learning on the job and going through trial and error. I fully expect to be told I'm doing this completely the wrong way. Any advice is appreciated - just be aware that I may need to be told as if I'm an idiot :)
Thanks so much.
Replace the img tag in your code with this:
<img src="http://www.ontheropesboxing.com/comingsoon.jpg" style="width:100%;position:absolute;z-index:-1" alt="" />
And move it out of the style tags.
Before I get into the answer, allow me to correct your code first.
The basic format for a webpage is this:
<!doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
//Titles, scripts, styles, etc.
</head>
<body>
//Everything else, can also hold scripts and styles.
</body>
</html>
You're missing a head in your code.
Second, don't place html tags inside style tags (referring to your img).
As for your question,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>On The Ropes Boxing! Coming Soon!</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin:0px;
border: 0;
}
.splash {
width: 100%;
z-index: 0;
}
//Rest of styles
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="http://www.ontheropesboxing.com/comingsoon.jpg" class="splash" />
</body>
</html>
Putting the image as the background won't work, as the page won't have anything to scroll to. Putting the background as an image will allow the page to scroll.
Let me preface this question with the warning that I'm a self-taught (amateur) web developer (and not a very good one). I've been trying for a long time to find an effective way of centering web pages using AP Divs. I've tried setting "margin: 0 auto;" and I've tried setting "margin-left: auto;". Both work for that one div. But I then have to use that as a wrapper to design within, so when I put more divs inside that, they don't center.
I may be completely approaching this wrong; if so, please correct me. Code (not working) for a basic version of what I want to do is below. If you run that code, if I were to place, say, an image in apDiv1, it would scale to the page size fine; but the text in apDiv2 does not.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Test Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
#apDiv1 {
margin: 0 auto;
width:600px;
}
#apDiv2 {
position:absolute;
width:50px;
height:24px;
z-index:1;
left: 47px;
top: 29px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="apDiv1">
<div id="apDiv2">Hello</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I can center a div inside another div just fine using margin-left:auto; and margin-right:auto;:
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/xjKhT/
In my own opinion, it is not good to use appdivs(coz it depends on how you positioned it on the design). You can do it(centering stuffs) on your own, check this:
Centering(Simple Sample)
<style>
#header {
margin:auto;
width:600px;
background:#000;
padding:5px;
}
#title {
width:50px;
margin:auto;
background:#CCC;
padding:5px;
}
</style>
<div id="header">
<div id="title">Hello World</div>
</div>
Custom AppDivs adds extra styles which is not really necessary:)
Updated example
Ok after some guessing and poking I think you mean that you want to absolutely position the elements inside the center-aligned wrapper.
position: absolute will be absolute to the page UNLESS the parent has position: relative.
#apDiv1 {
margin: 0 auto;
width:600px;
position:relative;
}
I Have Written The Following Code . It Is Showing Absolutely Fine In Mozilla and Chrome . But IN Internet Explorer , it is not center aligned and display at the left side . Here Is The Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>ProgramEngine Website Registration</title>
<style type="text/css">
div#login
{
background-color:#f1f1f1;
width: 510px;
height: 1024px;
border: 1px solid grey;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="login"></div>
</body>
</html>
So Can AnyBody Suggest Me What is the Problem And How To Overcome It.
You can use jquery for good solution.
See this Link
$(document).ready( function(e){
var screen = $('body').width();
screen -= 51; //51 is width of div
screen /= 2;
$('#login').offset({top:0,left:screen});
});
if you need use top in offset value.
Here, browser can't makes problem.
Are you using correct DOCTYPE? Without the DOCTYPE, IE automatically goes into Quirks render mode - this is your problem, probably.
I made a web page with the following code and viewed it in Google Chrome.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {padding:30px; background-color:blue;}
body {margin:0px; background-color:red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
hello world
</body>
</html>
The result is what I expected, a red box with a 30 pixel blue border that fills the entire web browser window. However, when I view it in Firefox, the red box is only the height of one line-height. In IE8, there is no blue border.
How do I make Firefox and IE8 display the same thing as what I see in Google Chrome?
Additional notes I tried adding different doctype tags to the page, but that only made it appear like Firefox, that is, the 1 line-height of red.
For this I think you have to resort to absolute or relative positioning; otherwise, your height/margin combo will push the bottom blue line off the screen. This works cross browser for this simple case. Hopefully it works for your more complicated use case.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background:blue; }
.first{
position:absolute; /* fixed also works */
background:red;
top:30px;
left:30px;
right:30px;
bottom:30px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="first">hello world</div>
</body>
</html>
if i understand you correctly, set your html & body width to 100% , height 100%
http://jsfiddle.net/Diezel23/Lv6Vw/#base
You could add an additional div:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
padding: 30px;
margin: 0px;
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
ABC
</div>
</body>
</html>
I want my page's BODY not to be scrollable but a DIV inside the BODY should be scrollable.
I have this in my css file:
body {
overflow:hidden
}
.mainSection {
overflow:scroll
}
but it doesn't work and the DIV doesn't become scrollabel (it just shows two disabled scroll bars for the DIV)!
.mainSection needs to have a height. Otherwise the browser can not know what it should consider overflow.
Are you sure the style for your mainSection class is being applied? You can use a tool like Web Developer or Firebug (for Firefox) to make sure that the style is being correctly applied. Also if you just have one mainSection, you might want to use an id instead of a class. the tag in html would then be <div id="mainSection"> instead of <div class="mainSection"> and the css becomes #mainSection { ... } instead of .mainsection { ... }
Here is the whole thing well explained
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_overflow.asp
You can experiment.
I had the same problem before, but I could manage to solve it just with overflow: auto;. Try it and it will work.
Updated
The full html code looks like this
<html>
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
<style type="text/css">
#scrollable_div{
overflow: auto;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: solid thin black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="scrollable_div">my div text</div>
</body>
Works perfectly in any browsers. I tested myself in Chrome, IE, Safari, Mozilla, and Opera
