I am working on my wife's business site at invisionbilling.com and I am having difficulties vertically aligning the email address and the social icons in the header. I would like to align the email address vertically in the center of the header bar. This would also make it align with the social icons. I have been inspecting the elements and looking at the CSS but can't seem to make the right adjustment. Below is the CSS I believe that is affecting it. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks!
div#header-widget-area {
float: right;
padding-left: 25px;
}
header .header_top .header_link {
list-style: none;
text-align: right;
margin: 0;
}
header .header_top .header_link li {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
position: relative;
}
Looks like you've got a case of the clearfix.
Just add the "clearfix" class to your "header_link" element, then your CSS for the email li tag:
header .header_top .header_link li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 9px 5px;
position: relative;
}
That should fix it up! Read more about clearfix here: What is a clearfix?

I am using this template on my website: http://www.css3templates.co.uk/templates/CSS3_gallery_grey/index.html
jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uPw85/
What I need help with:
1) Center the menu on the page, as you can see on the link it's left aligned.
2) Still keep the text in the drop down menus aligned to the left (just as in the link above).
I've searched this page and on Google a lot before asking for help and none of the results have worked for me. I've tried just about every tip I've found but the menu still won't be centered for me, the only thing that happens is that the text in the drop down menu is centered but I want to keep it to the left.
I've tried with multiple variations of these in different places (nav, menu, li, ul) in the CSS but with no luck:
display: inline-block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;,
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
width: auto;
EDIT 2/10, 1 PM EST: I appreciate you guys trying to help but so far none of the answers you've given has helped.
Try this:
ul.sf-menu {
text-align: center;
}
ul.sf-menu li {
display: inline-block;
}
ul.sf-menu li a {
display: block;
}
ul.sf-menu ul {
text-align: left;
}
EDIT:
I've edited the JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uPw85/3/
EDIT 2:
Remove float: left in ul#nav, or just remove the id="nav" in the ul-tag in the html
In order to center the menu you need to set the width of the child div to be smaller than a set width of a parent. Additionally need to remove the float of the menu as floating an element effectively takes it out of the parent div.
Try setting the following:
ul.sf-menu {
float: none;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Works when inspecting element. Another alternative would be to try the following code.
ul.sf-menu {
float: none;
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Just add:
ul#nav {
float:left;
padding-left: 80px;
}
Hi There when I make my browser smaller than 420px (Using Chrome Stable) the Navigation elements in the first navigation line disapear, when I hover them. I cannot find the mistake.
Can anybody help? Website is: http://www.tokemedia.de
go to style.css and change display:inline to inline-block;
#navi ul li {
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;/* not inline*/
}
Ok. This is really weird and I have spent countless hours in vain searching for anything similar. I will add code, but you'll need visuals as well, so I'll include a couple of cropped images to show you what I mean.
My goal: Simple. Push my horizontal nav bar in my footer about 25px below the top edge of the footer. (Footer has a static background image)
Code used: #footer ul {margin:25px}
Result: No change.
HUH? So I played with it... tried several variations, but nothing worked. NOW, I did find a workaround... used padding instead of margin... but it bothered me that margin wouldn't work so I kept trying to figure out if I messed up my code somewhere.
I used float in the body, but I cancelled it out. Validations all came out ok. So I accidentally stumbled upon Firebug (never used it before... and still don't know how) but in my aimless clicking, I noticed something odd... when I clicked onto my footer ul, a box overlapping the footer and content was highlighted. So it appeared that my margin did exist, but instead of pushing my nav list down... it kept the nav list static, and expanded into the content.
HUH? So I did a little experiment. I created a bright border around the divs in my content and footer and ul to figure out exactly what was happening. (My content section has three divs: content (floating left); sidebar (floating right); and contentWrapper that contains both).
With the borders on, I noticed that my 'outerContent' div was collapsed. A mere 20% or so of the height of the area. So after some (lengthy) research, I came up with the overflow-auto fix. And although I still don't quite understand it, it worked. The contentWrapper expanded to meet the footer, and the footer ul moved to where I wanted to.
So problem fixed, right? Well..... not exactly.
My previews did fine, so I went back in and deleted the borders so I can get on with the rest of the formatting. Only when I previewed again... the footer ul was right back where it started. At the very edge of the top of the footer.
I did the borders again... the divs seemed fine, except that the contentWrapper was now pushed slightly above the footer to allow for that margin.
Now the REALLY weird thing is that when I put the border around my footer... the ul margin works. When I take it off... the ul goes back to where it was.
What the #$#%!? Although I know of the workaround (the padding) I am worried about compounding whatever mistake I have made and repeating constantly in the future (I have to build another website after this). If someone can figure out what I did to screw things up... it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance to everyone who can perhaps show me where I went wrong.
First, to prevent your margin from disappearing, either change the margin on the #footer ul element to padding, or add one px of padding to the #footer element.
In this fiddle, we've set the padding on the #footer to 1px and reduced the height by 2px to compensate.
FIDDLE
#footer ul {
list-style: none outside none;
padding: 40px;
text-align: center;
}
or
#footer {
background-color: #DDDDDD;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
clear: both;
color: #808080;
font-size: 12px;
height: 228px;
padding: 1px;
}
looking at the css, your padding settings on the <a> tags won't work the way you expect, since by default they are aren't block elements. Add this to the css to have them padded correctly:
#footer ul li a {
display: inline-block;
}
likewise, your ul li should be inline-block.
so ...
#footer ul li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 30px 0;
}
#footer ul li a {
display: inline-block;
color: #E8FAFF;
padding: 30px;
}
Basically, just be aware that when top and bottom margins touch, including those of parent and child elements, the largest margin is used, but the margin is pushed outside the outermost element.
I tested it using firebug and working fine. If you have problem you can add !important at the end as this
#footer > ul {
margin: 13px !important;
}
And even what you would like to do is to get some margin before and or after the ul. For this you could set margin and/or padding value to your #footer.
Hope this help!
This is for future reference. I simply wanted to add the following link to compliment Dom Day's above. I am still having difficulty conceptualizing the event but between the two links, it will help me research it until I find the equivalent to an 'adjoining/collapsing margins-for-dummies' site. www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html - Details near the bottom of the web page.
I am not sure what i can do to fix it but I am unable to use css to align the images in 1 row and then another row like a gallery. Can anyone help. I have tried to float the div entry to left and still unable to get it correct.
here is the css for entry
.entry {
clear: both;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 1px;
}
Add
display:inline-block
to your div class .wp caption
See this article http://designshack.net/articles/css/whats-the-deal-with-display-inline-block/ as there may be some issues with Cross Browser but i think its only IE6, maybe 7
so in your case
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #a87c31;
text-align: center;
background-color: #10050B;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
display: inline-block;
}
Im using the whiteboard theme for wordpress.
My navigation is aligned to the right hand side of my header, however the navigation text is overlapping, the two inks in the navigation overlap each other on the header. any idea why?
#nav-primary {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 0 10px;
}
#nav-primary ul,
#nav-primary li {
list-style: none;
}
#nav-primary a {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
padding: 10px;
width: auto;
/*bottom: auto;*/
}
try using z-index:99; or create a relative div id if you are using position absolute.
It seems that position: absolute is doing you no favours here. Try removing this.
You also might be inheriting undesirable styles from your basic list style, but without seeing the whole CSS file we won't be able to determine that.
