Using a CMS, users of my site create posts containing images of various sizes. I'd like to wrap a container div around each image, but only with say 10px of padding on the left and right. That is, collapse the outer div's width to the width of the image + 20px. Is there an easy way to do this using css?
try this:
DEMO
HTML
<div class="image-wrapper">
<img src="http://placehold.it/500/500" />
</div>
CSS
img{
max-width: 100%;
}
.image-wrapper{
padding: 10px;
background-color: gray;
float:left; /* or instead display:inline-block; */
}

How to center image on a floated div without knowing image width or height ?
The image is semantically relevant so, it cannot be a background;
The html:
<div class="logo-organization-home">
<img src="images/logoOrganization1.png" alt="logo organization 1"/>
</div>
And the css:
.logo-organization-home {
float:left;
background-color: #fafaed;
border: 4px solid #f7f4ee;
width: 18%;
}
I've tried display:table-cell; no success;
I've tried text-align center with a certain padding: no success;
Failed try:

To center horizontaly, use: 'text-align:center' for .logo-organization-home
If the containing element has a width, you can use the following:
.logo-organization-home img {
display:block;
margin:0 auto;
}
Concerning horizontal centering, the example that you linked to here: http://cssdesk.com/pQnRG does not work properly since the width of the div is smaller than the width of the image. If you increase the width to 40% for example, you'll see that the image will be centered correctly, even when the containing div has a padding.
Concerning vertical centering, display:table-cell "requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9" on IE8. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_display.asp Alternatively, although unethical, you can use a table/row/cell directly as an additional container:
.logo-organization-home {
float:left;
background-color: #fafaed;
border: 4px solid #f7f4ee;
width: 18%;
}
table{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
td{
vertical-align:center;
text-align:center;
}
And the HTML:
<div class="logo-organization-home">
<table><tr><td>
<img src="images/logoOrganization1.png" alt="logo organization 1"/>
</td></tr></table>
</div>
I have a content div where all the content is located. this div has a border. I would like to place things inside this div so that this div expands if the content inside is too big. Should the items inside the content div be a "div" or a "p" and what css position should they have?
CSS:
#content{
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: 1px solid #E0E0E0;
min-height: 200px;
width: 1000px;
padding: 0px 0px 80px 0px;
background-color: #fff;
}
When you set width: 1000px; it will prevent the content div from being any wider. I suspect you want min-width: 1000px; instead.
For internal content use p tags if you are creating paragraphs that only use inline html elements. If you are using block level elements then use div tags.
I can't say how you should style your internal elements because I know nothing about your design specs.
Contents of the #content div can be either p or div elements its up to you. The #content div will expand to the height of its content either way unless you have elements inside #content with a float property.
If that is that case you can do something like below to make the #content div expand its height.
<div id="content">
<div style="float:right; border:1px solid red; height:500px;"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
The important part here is the latest div with clear:both property which fixes the height of the parent element.
You should still be able to use a DIV. If you use height:auto; that should make it expand based on your content. Also I think you can use min-height:200px; and height:auto; together; With that said. I also agree with mrtsherman, if you set a width or height to a specific pixel it is going to limit you to those constraints.
Given some code like below, could someone show me how I could align the content-meta-wrapper inside of the content div at the TOP RIGHT corner and then have the content inside the content div wrap around it like in the image? The pink highlight in the image below is the content-meta-wrapper div.
<div id="content">
all the content you see except the Half BOX in the right hand side
<div id="content-meta-wrapper">
<div id="content-meta>
The right that is aligned at the TOP RIGHT of the content diva
<div>
<div>
</div>
The reason I can't just view source from the image is because the image is from how my site is now with moving some stuff around in Photoshop.
Assuming it's marked up inside of the content <div>, you just need to pass float: right; to it, and it should do the trick.
The code I used in This Example is the following:
#container { /* Pure Looks */
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#floated {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
float: right; /* This is what counts!! */
background: red;
}
See this Awesome Article about Floats - by Chris Coyer of css-tricks.com
You should use the css rules,
float:left;
float:right;
these will align your divs in the correct postion, to keep things tidy make sure to give your div's a width.
I don't want to center a div, I want the contents of a div to be centered. I would like horizontal and vertical alignment.
Sorry, if this is too easy or whatever, but this is kind of a hassle to get it right.

I am using IE7
If you know the height and width of your image, position it absolutely, set top/left to 50% and margin-top/left to negative half the height/width of your image.
#foo {
position:relative; /* Ensure that this is a positioned parent */
}
#foo img {
width:240px;
height:200px;
position:absolute;
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-left:-120px;
margin-top:-100px;
}

I know you've said that dont want to center a div but to achieve your requirement in a cross browser way would be easier using a jquery plugin and a fake div that contains your element to be centered.
I have successfully centered almost anything using this very small plugin that can center any block element.
The only other way I know are the answer that you already received from #simshaun & #Prhogz
EDIT: As per comment request
Include the script in your head tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%: Url.Content( "~/_assets/js/jquery.center.min.js" )%>"></script>
Now if you have a DIV that you want to center inside your markup simply use it as
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myDIV").center({ vertical: false });
});
although the following is obsolete, it still works for almost all browsers
<center>
<div>
your html
</div>
</center>
however, visit this link
http://www.110mb.com/forum/vertical-horizontal-alignment-of-image-within-div-t31709.0.html
For horizontal alignment, use text-align:center;
For vertical alignment, see for example the W3 style guide
If you know the inner element's height beforehand,
CSS:
.container {
text-align: center; /* Center horizontally. */
/* For demo only */
border: 1px solid #000;
height: 500px;
margin: 20px;
width: 700px;
}
.container img {
margin-top: -167px;
position: relative;
top: 50%;
}
HTML:<div class="container">
<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5004/5270561847_7223069d5e.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="">
</div>
Example
My problem is best outlined with this schematic/image which outlines how I want it to look:
!
I have a background image and 2 divs for text over the top of it (headline, and intro-text). I also have 2 divs on either side of the headline - these are for the white horizontal stripes.
My issue is that the headline is changeable in a CMS, and I want the horizontal white stripes to automatically fill up the space to the left and to the right of it, regardless of the headline's width.
I can't figure out how to make those 2 horizontal white stripes resize automatically.
Here's my HTML:
<div id="masthead">
<div id="headline-container">
<div id="left-stripe"> </div><div id="headline">{headline}</div><div id="right-stripe"> </div>
</div>
<div class="clear-both"> </div>
<div id="intro-text">{intro_text}</div>
</div>
And here's my CSS - ignore the widths specified for the left-stripe and right-stripe - they're just placeholders:
#masthead {
height: 260px;
}
div#headline-container {
width:960px;
padding:none;
}
div#left-stripe{
float: left;
background-color:#fff;
height: 3px;
width:500px;
display: inline;
}
div#right-stripe{
float: right;
background-color:#fff;
height: 3px;
width:100px;
display: inline;
}
div#headline {
text-align:right;
color: #fff;
font-size: 200%;
float: left;
display: inline;
}
div#intro-text {
text-align: left;
float: right;
width: 300px;
color: #fff;
}
Ideas? Please let me know if I can provide more detail.
I'm a bit too busy to actually test this, but this might give you some direction. i'm not sure the exact effect you're trying to achieve (see comment about finding a live demo someone made).
Regardless, this kind of fluid layout is a bit difficult to achieve reliably with straight CSS. To make it easier I would suggest making the right-stripe a static width.
This CSS solution MIGHT work... no promises.
markup
<div class="container">
<div class="headline-container">
<div class="left-stripe"></div>
<div class="headline">Headline goes here</div>
<div class="right-stripe></div>
</div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
CSS
//static width for right stripe
.right-stripe { width: 20px; }
.headline { width: auto; }
.left-stripe { width: auto; }
Using javascript would make it really easy though... here's how i would do it with jQuery. Again, I would make the right-stripe a static width to achieve this effect.
(same markup...)
..
js
var totalWidth = $("#container").width();
var leftWidth = totalWidth - ($("headline").width() + $("right-stripe").width());
$("left-stripe").width(leftWidth);
You can do this dynamically, with jQuery, for example. You take the full width of the 3 div's, drop the size of the inner div and assign dynamically the widths of the 2 outer div's in which the bar should repeat horizontally.
Basically, you will need:
$("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").width() for the outer div's total width. Then, depending on your positioning of the inner-div, you assign values for the outer div's.
For example: whole div has 1000px, inner div has 200px and inner div is positioned 600px left. You will then assign 600px to the left div ($("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").css('left')) and 200px for the right div ($("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").css('left') - $("#inner-div").width()). Of course, you will then set a background-repeat property on the outer div so that the image repeats.
Hope that helps!
UPDATE CSS only fluid solution: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/XnvYw/1/
it uses the same background image twice, on #masthead and on #headline-container. except ton headline container the background is offset to match its left position relative to its parent element. then we only need one div.line behind it, which gets covered by the background image under the headline and copy, giving the illusion of a seamless image.
do you mean like this?: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/XnvYw/
