How do you align text vertically inside a container regardless of # of links inside them? - html

I need some assistance and I've tried almost everything I know. What I am trying to do (and it doesn't matter if I have to use tables on order to achieve this)
http:// img602.imageshack.us/img602/8769/verticalcentering .jpg
I've looked online and tried out several examples but they all seem to blow up or not align properly in IE.
What I need (if its possible, I don't even know anymore) is to have text links that will align vertically within the container its in regardless of whether there is only one link present, or four.
What's been happening is that when I set the margin to 50% it centers fine if there is only one link there, but the remainder will fall below it no longer centering the links within the container.
The actual thing I am working on is this:
I have a header title above that stretches across the container. The next row I have an image on the left that is 150px by 150px - and next to that I have another container that has a height of 150px as well as this is the maximum height of this container - inside this container is where I would like my links to hang out vertically centered.
Is this even possible? or is it a pipe dream to think it will work in IE and is cross browser compliant?
It doesn't matter anymore if I have to resort to tables and css to achieve this... I just need some assistance with it as I have never had to vertically center anything depending on its content before and I just can't wrap my head around how to achieve this effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance!

Borders only showing on the sides in html

When I am trying to add a border to a div element on my website, I am getting these weird borders.
This is the result I was looking for:
intended result
HTML
<div>
<h1 class="headline">hey</h1>
<div class="buttons">
<a class="filled-button"><p class="filled-button-text">sign up</p></a>
<a class="outlined-button"><p class="outlined-button-text">log in</p></a>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.outlined-button
{
border: 3px solid #fff;
border-radius: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 48px;
width: 140px;
}
.outlined-button-text
{
color: #fff;
font-family: Roboto;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 28px;
}

The cause of the border is that a elements have inline flow while the enclosed p element has display block behaviour. Inline elements have no inherited width, this causes the border property to think that the element is 0 px wide, and places a border where it thinks the element is.
A fix for your solution is to use display: block for the link element(https://jsfiddle.net/qtdz296j/1/)
I also attached an alternative solution:
body {
background: #162CEA;
padding: 2rem 1rem;
}
.heading {
color: #FFF;
}
.button {
padding: .5rem 1rem;
border-radius: .5rem;
}
.filled-button {
background: #FFF;
}
.outline-button {
border: 3px solid #FFF;
color: #FFF;
}
<h1 class="heading">hey<h1>
<a class="button filled-button">sign up</a>
<a class="button outline-button">log in</a>

Can't tell anything without the rest of the css and html. Your post starts in the middle of a rule. I'd try playing with it and see what you can change. Make sure your css is affecting the elements you want it to be affecting.
Edit: Try changing your <p> tags inside the buttons to <span>. Or better yet, don't enclose them in anything, and just style the button text directly. I also highly suggest looking into the correct use of <button> vs. <a>. It's a lot easier to make buttons work when they're actually buttons. But changing the <p>s to an inline element like <span> will fix your immediate problem.

this works if you just need a border around that div. cleaned it up a little and added a missing ;. it there are a lot of nested classes and you just need to target the right one. there are only 2 divs in this, so if you are talking about the outer/parent div, just give that an id and target it. Enjoy!

<div>
<h1 class="headline">hey</h1>
<div class="buttons">

Hello I hope this will help. and a small advice, as you might already know it. do not use a block level element inside a inline element even though you are changing the display property its safer that way.
body {
background: #162CEA;

}

width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}

Make sections align

Setting margin: auto, removing display: block and setting width to 100% instead of 120% makes it look quite okay. Is this what you were looking for?
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/PdmKWQ

The main issue you are having is because of .sign-up-form width styling. It is currently set to 120%, which is making the content weird. Remove it or change it to 100%.
Second issue I found is related to font-weight. The value of it is never in px. Review doc for more info.
Third issue remove the default margin on the page.

P.S. A lot of your tags don't have a closing tag. You should fix them as well.

html/css image issue inside div

So I'm trying to create a landing page exactly like this (FYI, to work on my HTML/CSS skills, I have decided to exactly imitate this landing page just for practice!)
http://oi67.tinypic.com/b8qp8i.jpg
However, as you can see from what I did, the full background picture (sailing boat + ocean) does not show up in the first column: http://oi66.tinypic.com/o7ktgl.jpg
Another issue is that on the left side of the background image on the third column, I keep seeing on a small "broken page" icon (I don't know why it's there but it's really been annoying) ... is it an image problem or something wrong with the image file?
Help would be much appreciated, thank you!

How do I put one <div> element below another <div>

I just finished doing HTML/CSS with Codecademy. One of the "projects" there is to make your own resume. I took the HTML/CSS from that project, and I'm tweaking it to make the resume look better. I'm currently trying to put one div - the part of the resume where text about my career objective will go - under another div, the header. It is, however, not working. The div for the "objective" is currently behind the div for the header. How on earth do I get that second div for the objective to go underneath the first div?
I read something about how I should float the header div to the left and then put clear:both; in the div for the objective, but that's not working.
HTML
<div id="header">
<p id="name">My Name</p>
<p id="email">myemail#email.com</p>
</div>
<div id="objective"></div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div id="footer">
<p>1234 Anywhere Street, Brooklyn NY 11216 | Tel: (123) 456-7890</p>
</div>
CSS
div {
border-radius: 5px;
}
#header {
z-index:1;
position: fixed;
width: 98%;
margin-top: -20px;
height: 60px;
background-color: #668284;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float:left;
}
#name {
float:left;
margin-left: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
color: #ffffff;
}
#email{
float:right;
margin-right: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
color: #ffffff;
}
.right p {
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-top: -10px;
font-family: Garamond, serif;
color: #000000;
}
a:hover {
font-weight: bold;
}
#objective {
height: 50px;
background-color: #668284;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
text-align: center;
clear:both;
color: #ffffff;
}
.left {
position: relative;
float: left;
margin-top: 50px;
width: 49%;
height: 400px;
background-color: #B9D7D9;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.right {
position: relative;
float: right;
margin-top: 50px;
width: 49%;
height: 400px;
background-color: #F4EBC3;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
background-color: #668284;
clear: both;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
text-align: center;
color: #ffffff;
}
#footer p {
position: relative;
padding-top: 15px;
}

For example:
<div class="div1">KSD;JSFAJ;SSD;</div>
<div class="div2">KSD;JSFAJ;SSdfaD;</div>
Css with float:
.div1 {
float: none;
}
.div2 {
float: none;
}
Css with display:
.div1 {
display: inline;
}
.div2 {
display: inline;
}

Here is the updated HTML :
<div id="header">
<p id="name">My Name</p>
<p id="email">myemail#email.com</p>
</div>
<div style="height:50px;width:98%;">
</div>
<div id="objective">Objective goes here</div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
<div id="footer">
<p>1234 Anywhere Street, Brooklyn NY 11216 | Tel: (123) 456-7890</p>
</div>
This will show the objective div underneath header div.
Also this is a link for your reference.

Here is update CSS, This show the responsive your html
*{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

}
So that you won't have empty space on your div
DEMO

I think its easier using bootstrap, here is the link http://getbootstrap.com/css/
What bootstrap does is that it creates containers that wrap the content of your site. It divides the site in rows. To do that you need and . With this bootstrap you can divide your rows in 12 cells.
Here is an example of how I divided my portfolio in 3 columns of 4 spaces
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<hr>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row text-center">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3 class="text-body"><u>Block vs Inline</u>
</h3>
<p class="p-text"><span>Block Elements</span> are those who take the complete line and full width of the page creating a "box".<br>
<span>Inline Elements</span> are those who doesn´t affect the layout, just the element inside the tag.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3 class="text-body"><u>Selectors</u></h3>
<p class="p-text"><span>Class selectors</span> are used to target elements with specific attributes<br>On the other hand, <span>id selectors</span> are just for unique elements.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3 class="text-body"><u>Responsive Layout</u></h3>
<p class="p-text"><span>Responsive Layout</span> is the combination of html and css design to make the website look good in terms of enlargement, shrink and width in any screen (<em>computers, laptops, netbooks, tablets, phones</em>). </p>

Silverlight applet (<object> tag) not located within its containing <div> tag`

I've got a Silverlight applet whose UI consists of nothing more than a single button, which I'm trying to located in an appropriate position on my web page. My current result looks like this:
The blue element circled in red is where I want the button to be, and as the Firebug highlight shows, it's where the <div> tag containing the Silverlight <object> tag is positioned. However, the object itself (the "Click Me" button circled in green) is about 200 or so pixels lower.
My CSS is kinda complex (not unexpectedly, what I'm trying to do is a lot more complex than what I can show here), but for the record, it's here, reasonably simplified:

Any suggestions about why the Silverlight object isn't following its containing tag? (I should note that it behaves the same way in IE and in Chrome, so it's not a browser bug.)

I think that the offsets in your xaml are pushing the button to that location. If your root element is a canvas I would change that to a stackpanel and see if that fixes it.

I still don't understand all the details about what was tripping it up, but it may have had something to do with the fact that I wasn't setting the height of the alantaEngageHost. I changed the alantaEngageHost_Ad style to this:
div.alantaEngageHost_PictureButton
{
height: 250px;
}
And after that, the <button> and its containing <div> tag were in the same place; and I could then place them appropriately like so:
<div style="top: -226px; left: 224px;" class="alantaEngageAppHost alantaEngageAppHost_Button alantaEngageAppHost_Ad">
<button style="position:relative">HTML Button</button>
</div>
I'm guessing that there must be some weird CSS interaction that shows up when you're trying to position elements inside a <div> tag that isn't quite big enough to contain them. Just a guess, as CSS remains a dark and sorcerous art to me.
