Having an issue I don't understand. The only way I've been able to center a button on my page perfectly across all devices is if I apply a width: 100% to it.
Issue with this however, is it then makes a sprawling button, way too wide. I'd like to cut it down. The problem is, anytime I get rid of the width: 100% in any way, it makes the perfect button position go haywire.
Any thoughts on how I can have my button centered, but also not super wide and sprawled out. Thank you. -Wilson

take a look at this site there's a complete guide to centering a div.
http://www.tipue.com/blog/center-a-div/
I don't know what's your base using absolute positioning for mostly of your element, but to answer your issue, give text-align:center; to #wrapper, then give text-align:left for each of #wrapper children, except the button.

I have a problem with a border in Chrome. The green border has some grey lines.
Firefox: not visible -> ok!
Chrome: not visible but visible in the dev tools, mobile phone.
Chrome on my phone: visible
Here is a screenshot that shows my problems!
https://abload.de/img/cssiee7s.jpg
1) When you go to http://www.seelenpuls.at/hpneu/m_biografie_leander_de.php
there are two small grey lines
2) When you go to http://www.seelenpuls.at/hpneu/m_neues_de.php there are even more problems.
3) The menu button has an orange border (mobile only) ... and I don't know why as there is no such color in my CSS.
Please help!
Here's the code. The bold part is the border that causes the problems.

Ok so there is a couple of things that are going on in your css.
White lines
For your content div, I would use a width of 100% for mobile devices now, as you scale to tablets and desktops you can change to a more fixed or fluid width. I would also remove the border bottom property. This is not fully extending to the width of the content box and I am unsure if it has to do with the border-sizing property you are using. I would also apply the border-sizing this way so it is applied to every element in your html
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Orange border - this is caused by the :focus pseudo css property of the button you are using, you can remove it this way
button:focus {
outline: none;
}
CSS Normalize or CSS Reset - consider using one of these stylesheets in your website. They help you rendering all elements more consistently through all browsers. This will save you the time of remove the :focus property, like I mentioned above in any project moving forward. Most popular CSS frameworks utilize this to normalize basic styles.

In this simplified example I have 4 circles, each with varying border-width and I am trying to maintain equal line height in each to keep them horizontally aligned.
However the border width seems to effect the line height (despite being technically outside the box?)
Is there anyway to solve this without manually adjusting each line-height?
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
border: 1px solid #1daeec;
line-height: 50px;
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/vcJ3G/
You can remove the line-height, use display:table-cell instead, and add vertical-align:middle; to your stat class.
jsFiddle example
.stat {
display: table-cell;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
border: 1px solid #1daeec;
text-align: center;
margin: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
color: #1daeec;
text-transform: uppercase;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Your css works fine all you have to do is remove some from top section
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/techsin/vcJ3G/15/
Came across this and thought myself how is it possible to do it without using table-cell, my solution probably not the best, but I just decide to share it anyway.
http://codepen.io/svdovichenko/pen/rObzqM?editors=110
adding <span>1</span> (can use class inside spam didn't use for this example)
.stat{
position: relative;
}
and
span {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-right: -50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
I having difficulties setting my footer properly. I have a Bottom navigation bar as part of my footer which is working fine(color:#7A7A7A). The issue is with the copy right information that follows. It has an address and phone number. I am wanting that this side of the footer to have a black bakcground(#000). This part is labeled in the css under copyRight which i am not get any results. Any Ideas of what may be wrong?

You're floating the contents of #copyRight so it needs to be floated in order to contain them properly. Add this to #copyRight:
float: left;
width: 100%;
Read Brilliand detailed explanation below
Add overflow:hidden in #copyRight
So your CSS should look like this:
#copyRight{
background:#000;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 75%;
bottom: 0;
overflow:hidden
}
The problem you are having is that most elements, including divs, do not by default expand to contain floating elements. Since everything within copyRight is floating, it behaves as though it were empty, and shrinks to nothing.
There are many ways to make an element expand to contain floating elements. My personal favorite is to set overflow to just about anything - hidden being the most common.
#copyRight{
overflow: hidden;
}
Another way is to make the containing element float too, though it's then liable to cause the same problem with the element trying to contain it. Also, floating causes shrinkwrapping, so you have to set an explicit width:
#copyRight{
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
A similar result can be achieved using various display declarations, such as display: inline-block. This avoids propagating the problem to the parent element:
#copyRight{
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
Apparently back in 2004 it was considered a wonderful new idea to solve such a problem by inserting a clearing element with the :after pseudo-class instead of the older method of adding a <div style="clear:both;"></div>. Those tricks would also solve your problem, though clearing floats and containing them are not quite the same thing.
I am having some problems with my DIV, it wont display over a a DIV that has a web user control in it. Below you can find my css. I believe I have done everything right and am hoping that someone can maybe see an error that I have made and help me out. If you need any other code let me know. I also wonder if its just IE rendering it wrong? Thanks for looking.
The Popup CSS:
{
background: #ececec;
position:absolute;
top: 236px;
left: 201px;
height: auto;
width: 280px;
border: solid 1px gray;
z-index: 50;
text-align:left;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
font-size: 8pt;
}
The Activity DIV (same the div above just changed position)
{
border: solid 2px #A9C5EB;
position: absolute;
top: 353px;
left: 290px;
width: 710px;
height: 227px;
font-size: small;
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
background-color: #F8FBFE;
z-index: 2;
}
To know the HTML is essential to fix your problem.
What is the html that contains your popup? Is it relative to the body tag or some other element? Is the containing element position: relative;?
Try setting the containing element's z-index and position:
#my-container {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
See this SO post about absolute positioning.
On a side note, check out IE-7.js which fixes many IE browser issues, including - AFAIK - this bug.
This code works for IE7 and 8 but not for 6. How can I get it to work for 6. Or is there a better way to do it?
#contentLoading {
width:90px;
height: 90px;
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
background:url(_img/ajax-loader4.gif) no-repeat center #fff;
text-align:center;
padding:10px;
font:normal 16px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
border:2px solid #666;
margin-left: -50px;
margin-top: -50px;
z-index:2;
overflow: auto;
}
Did you know that IE6 does not support position: fixed;? It will be rendered as a static element.
I usually use something like:
#contentLoading {
width: 90px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
If you'd like to center the #contentLoading div within a container you can do it like so:
#contentLoading {
width: 500px; /* whatever width you want */
margin: 0px auto; /* top and bottom margin of zero, left and right are automatically calculated based on the space available in the enclosing container */
}
For Ie6, you need to text-align:center the body in your CSS, and then style the main wrapping div with text-align:left, to re-align the text toe the left.
Here is a example.
body{
text-align: center; /*This alligns all content to the center for IE6*/
}
#mainWrapper{
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left; /*This re aligns all content within this id to the left*/
}
