I am trying simply to center text horizontally in a form as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<div id="contact-form">
<head-black>STEWARD'S WEEKLY REPORT</head-black><br>
</div>
</html>
contents of style.css:
#contact-form {
background-color:#F2F7F9;
width:925px;
padding:10px;
margin: 10px auto;
border: 6px solid #8FB5C1;
-moz-border-radius:25px;
-webkit-border-radius:25px;
border-radius:15px;
position:relative;
}
#contact-form head-black {
display:inline-block;
font-size:14px;
text-decoration:underline;
text-align:center;
}
The text stays left aligned.
<head-black> is non-standard HTML syntax. Use of custom tags should be avoided. Instead, use:
<h1 class="head-black">STEWARD'S WEEKLY REPORT</h1>
and CSS:
#contact-form {
background-color:#F2F7F9;
width:925px;
padding:10px;
margin: 10px auto;
border: 6px solid #8FB5C1;
-moz-border-radius:25px;
-webkit-border-radius:25px;
border-radius:15px;
position:relative;
text-align:center; /* put this here */
}
#contact-form .head-black {
display:inline-block;
font-size:14px;
text-decoration:underline;
}
jsfiddle
Edit
If you'd like to center only the <h1>, simply set it to display: block, and set the text-align: center in the h1 tag. Don't forget to remove the text-align: center from the #content-form CSS block. Do the following to the .head-black CSS:
#contact-form .head-black {
display:block;
font-size:14px;
text-decoration:underline;
text-align: center;
}
The jsfiddle above shows the new changes.

Some of my problem is I'm using the code from this Lynda.com video - the Fireworks stuff is just as imported, the rest of the CSS I used his stuff, right down to the colours. Yet I've messed up somewhere and I don't know where.
Code is below. My sprites and hovers are showing up fine, but they're displaying as a block of buttons rather than a line. I've tried float:left, display:block in various places, even re-exported my sprites as horizontal rather than standard to no avail.
<code>
#charset "UTF-8";
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background:#000;
}
header nav {
width:100%;
background:#333;
text-align:center;
position:relative;
font:Segoe, "Segoe UI", "DejaVu Sans", "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;
height:98px;
border-bottom:12px solid black;
}
header nav ul {
padding:0;
margin:0;
list-style:none;
}
header nav ul li {
position:relative;
width:110px;
height;90px
float:left;
border-bottom:12px solid #000;
border-left:1px solid #333
border-right:1px solid #666;
}
header nav ul li:hover {
border-bottom-color:#FFC926;
}
header nav ul li a {
width:110%;
color:#FFF;
text-decoration:none;
display:inline;
float:left;
padding-top:75px
}
.navsymbol li{ background:url("https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50029017/untitled%20folder/navsymbol.png") no-repeat;}
li.nav_Home{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-10px -10px; }
li.nav_Home:hover{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-362px -10px; }
li.nav_Contact{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-714px -10px; }
li.nav_Contact:hover{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-1066px -10px; }
li.nav_Design{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-1418px -10px; }
li.nav_Design:hover{ width:342px; height:70px; background-position:-1770px -10px; }
</code>
And html:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="nav.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<nav>
<ul class="navsymbol">
<li class="nav_Home"></li>
<li class="nav_Design"></li>
<li class="nav_Contact"></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
</body>
</html>
It looks like you just have a typo:
header nav ul li {
position:relative;
width:110px;
height;90px /* should be- height:90px;*/
float:left;
border-bottom:12px solid #000;
border-left:1px solid #333
border-right:1px solid #666;
}
Example Apparently the sprite has gone 404, so the example isn't working now...
change
header nav ul li {
position:relative;
width:110px;
height;90px /* should be- height:90px;*/
float:left;
border-bottom:12px solid #000;
border-left:1px solid #333
border-right:1px solid #666;
}
to
header nav ul li {
position:relative;
width:110px;
height:90px;
float:left;
border-bottom:12px solid #000;
border-left:1px solid #333
border-right:1px solid #666;
}
and insert to css file
.navsymbol:after{
clear:both;
}
.navsymbol:after,.navsymbol:before{
display:table;
content:"";
}
Use http on the place of https in background url

.navsymbol li{ background:url("http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50029017/untitled%20folder/navsymbol.png") no-repeat;}
I want to create a contact me section on a website i'm making but the problem is my whole website has text-align:center and i am using a definition list for the contact information. is there a way i can still use the wrapper for my page but align the text to the left without it going out of the white border?

If i understand you correctly then your problem can be fixed using two things:
in #contact css add "!important" after the "text-align:left;" on the same line
add margin if it overlaps.
If this doesnt answer your question please send me a link so i can see what is happening.
hope i helped.
#contact {
text-align:left;
} Might work. position:relative; Try removing. Because CSS goes from top to bottom and over-writes the properties with new values.. Check this
If you want to keep the "contact block" in the body3 (which is centered), why you added the code - "right: 390px;" to the #contact, I do not see the reason. So if you delete it everything will be okay.
Have you tried this?
dl {
text-align: left;
}
Edit: I added the above to your css and the list was aligned to the left.
remove the text-align:center from css in html tag and add text-align attribute in every div tag so you will get align as you want
I am trying to something pretty simple.
I have two buttons inside a div. One needs to be float right, one needs to be float left
<div class="btnwrapper">
<div class="btnright"><span>Continue</span></div>
<div class="btnleft"><span>Back</span></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
And the corresponding CSS
.calculator .btnwrapper { width:607px; }
.calculator .btnleft { float:left; border:1px solid green; }
.calculator .btnright { float:right; border:1px solid red; }
a.button { background:url(../images/bg-button-left.gif) no-repeat; float:right; height:29px; width:auto; padding:0 0 0 8px; display:block; color:#FFF; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; font-size:13px; cursor:pointer;}
a.button span { background:url(../images/bg-button-right.gif) top right; height:16px; padding:8px 8px 5px 0px; display:block; width:auto; cursor:pointer; }
Here is the results I'm getting in IE7. All other modern browsers handle this correctly.
Remove float: right from a.button.
With it: http://jsfiddle.net/K8XQr/
Without it: http://jsfiddle.net/K8XQr/1/
They look identical, except that losing float: right fixes it in IE7.
Cant figure out why my footer is not sitting inside my "container" DIV.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="innerContainer">
<div class="leftcol">
</div><!--/leftcol-->
<div class="centercol-home">
</div><!--/centercolHome-->
</div><!--/innercontainer-->
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div><!--/container-->
</body>
</html>
I have a 3px border on "container" but i can see visibly the the footer is sitting on top of container, andnot inside...
here is the CSS:
html {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
height:100%;
}
body{
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
height:100%;
/*min-width:995px;*/
background:url(/_images/body-bg.jpg) top center no-repeat;
}
#container {
width:995px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
height:100%;
position:relative;
background:#fff;
border:3px solid #0068b3;
}
/* IE6 */
* html #container {
height:100%;
}
#innerContainer {
width:985px;
min-height:100%;
padding:0 5px 5px 5px;
margin:0 0 25px 0;
/*float:left;*/
background:#fff;
}
.footer {
clear:both;
float:left;
width:974px;
text-align: center;
/*bottom:0;*/
padding-top:5px;
padding-bottom:5px;
}
Remove min-height from #innerContainer
An alternative is adding float:left; to your #container.
The issue is that the #container isn't floated, and thus is in the normal page "flow". That allows the .footer to "float" above, and outside, the #container. If you float the #container as well, the .footer should appear where you expected.
You may also have to float all your "container" divs, including #container, .footer, and #innerContainer.
Having a headache with IE. I have an image (24x24) which I'd like to display inline beside my username at the top navigation bar after logging in. It shows nicely in firefox, chrome. problem with IE version 7. The img breaks to another line, and other sibling items in the float back left.
CSS below:
#nav {
background:url("../images/nav-bg.jpg") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
height:35px;
line-height:35px;
}
#nav .menuitem{
padding: 0 7px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 11px;
float:left;
}
#nav .menuitem, #nav .menuitem a {
color:#CCCCCC;
}
#nav .menuitem:hover {
background-color:#333333;
}
#nav .menuitem img {
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
border:1px solid #111;
float: right;
margin-top: 4px;
margin-left: 7px;
height:24px;
width:24px;
}
#nav .right {
float:right;
}
I have tried many variations but can't seem to fix the problem. I have also tried variations of the css below, but the image still doesn't show nicely inline.
#nav .menuitem img {
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
border:1px solid #111;
float: right;
margin-top: 4px;
margin-left: 7px;
height:24px;
width:24px;
display:inline;
position:relative;
top: 0px;
line-height: 35px;
}
The HTML code as follows
<span class="menuitem right">Welcome, <a id="profile" href="http://localhost/usercp">user<img src="avatar24x24.jpg"></a></span>
I altered the css and html source. I only have IE6 to work with, but it looks consistent in Chrome and IE6. Try this:
http://work.arounds.org/sandbox/38/run
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
* { margin:0; padding:0; }
#nav {
background:url("../images/nav-bg.jpg") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
height:35px;
line-height:35px;
}
#nav .menuitem{
padding: 0 7px;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 11px;
float:left;
}
#nav .menuitem, #nav .menuitem a {
color:#CCCCCC;
}
#nav .menuitem:hover {
background-color:#333333;
}
#nav .menuitem img {
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
border:1px solid #111;
display:inline-block;
margin-top: 4px;
margin-left: 7px;
height:24px;
width:24px;
}
#nav a { display:inline-block; vertical-align:top; }
.lol { display:inline-block; }
#nav .right {
float:right;
}
</style>
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<style>
#nav .menuitem a { display:inline; zoom:1; }
#nav .menuitem img { display:inline; zoom:1; border:1px solid red; vertical-align:top; }
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>

This snippet suffered from the float:right width calculation bug and I had to use inline-block workaround to get it to work right.
Use a background image instead, like this:
<a style="background-image: url(avatar24x24.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center; padding-right: 30px;"
id="profile" href="http://localhost/usercp">user</a>
Should position it pretty well, tested it in Opera, IE8 compatability mode and Firefox. To display the entire image, tune the height of the elements around it.
You can use background-position to move the image around inside the surrounding element, there's more information on this at w3schools.com.
Alternatively, you can use margin to get more spacing (margin will create spacing that includes the background image).
