I'm trying to edit a tumblr theme to make my posts centered inside of an image (the image is in a div) I've tried giving the posts and div the same margin in CSS but I can't seem to get the image inside the div to center correctly on the page. I want the posts to be perfectly centered horizontally inside the image even when the browser window is resized. Anybody know how i can do this? Is there an easier way than having the image in a div? here is a link to my code

First of all i would recommend using image as a background image. Would be easy to handle it as it will not affect other things inside a div.
Second, if you were to use image you would position it absolutely which mean main div should be positioned relatively. Then once image has been positioned i.e. top:0; left:0; put z-index:-100; so that way it will be always behind.
To make div always be centered both horizontally, vertically and in both directions. See my example. Here:

try style=aligen:center;
just you can manage by style sheet tag like padding and margin also .

I got a navigation menu as image. I made a nav div with the image as background and a fixed width and height. Now in the little boxes under the lines I want nav links. So what I did is I made multiple divs in the nav div and positioned them in the little boxes. So they are all positioned perfectly inside firefox but, unfortunately in other browsers like chrome they have different positions (nothing extreme, but they arent perfectly aligned in the little boxes).
What I thought was that whenever you have a certain fixed height and width of the container div. The margins of the child divs will be the same on all browsers and screen sizes as they will always be the same size. How is this possible and what would be the best options to make this nav menu possible?
Try use this http://www.image-maps.com/ ... image maping tool lets you to set link coordinates.
If you know where these boxes are located pixel-wise in the background image, you could absolute position the nav divs and get them precisely where you want using top and left based on pixels of the parent div (with the image) instead of using margins.
I have a simple image gallery dynamically controlled by PHP to add and remove image thumbnails from a page. The problem I have is that I want the images to be aligned next to eachother until there is no room on that row and is forced to start another.
I have tried using float:left which worked but the containing body div with a height set to auto resized itself to not include the images. I then tried adding clear:both; to the images which fixed the body div issue but now has the images directly underneath eachother.
I've used float:left before in many cases but the containing div had a fixed height.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this?
Thanks heaps :)
You have to add an empty div with "clear: both;" as the last element in the div containing the images.
If you add "clear: both;" to an image, that image will be placed on a new row because it wont allow floated elements on either side of it.
I have placed an AP Div on my page that holds an iframe. I used position: relative so that the AP Div would not move with the image behind it. Once I added the AP Div with the css property Position: Relative it stays exactly where I want it , however it pushed the image further down. i need the main image to be aligned to top. If you look at the other pages you will see how they are all aligned at top. Is there a solution for this? I am not a css expert so I would be very appreciative of any help given. thanks!

thanks!
The basic problem is that div and iframe are block elements on the same level. Setting the iframe positioning to relative doesn't help. Instead, you should wrap image and iframe into a container DIV, set this DIV to position:relative and then absolutely position the iframe on that DIV. You could even drop the extra img tag and set the image as the background of the container DIV. You could also get of the <center> by setting the container DIV's margin to 0 auto

Is there a way to make an image repeat beyond the element div that it is placed in? When the browser is maximized, the picture will stop where the footer stops but I'd like to repeat to the max height of the browser. Possible without putting the image in the body bg? I can't place it in the body bg because of a jquery animation, and IE gradient code and an image can't be put together. Thanks.
-edit- found the solution
background image vertical repeat for a div
set the html and body in css with height:100%;
and also height:100%; in the div with image
worked because the div with the image was the first div before the reset of the content div
You cannot have images repeat outside of the parent div size in such a way that is still cross-browser compatible as far as I know.
I have a div that is positioned:absolute, this div extends outside the bounds of my site wrapper as it just contains a background image for a slider and doesn't need to be seen all the time. The problem is I cannot work out how to stop this div triggering the scrollbar. I have tried different combinations of overflow and position and cannot work it out.
If you inspect the element with firebug, just place it over the shadow behind the slider and you will see the div in question. You notice the scrollbar kicks in as soon as the browser bounds touches it.

Can anyone let me know how to stop the scrollbar appearing for the shadow div?

It is the size of the DIV. When I inspect it using Chrome, the CSS shows that the container DIV was set to 520px width and the problematic DIV was set to 733px, so it actually exceeds the 980px width center area. Unless you want the shadow to disappear, I suggest moving it a bit to the left and make the div left to it smaller.
You can use the CSS overflow-x:hidden on the body element.
Other more complicated way that comes to mind is using jQuery to detect the size of the window and resize the problematic div according to the window's size.
Firstly, thanks to those that commented.
I have come up with a solution that allows me to keep the layout the same while still adhering to the document width. What I did was create a #wrap2 inside the main wrapper which has a width of 100% (full width of browser window).
#wrap2 {background: url(../css_img/slider-bg.png) no-repeat center 317px; }
The trick to this was making sure the image position was set to center. This means the image would also remain relative to the content when resizing the browser. The way I made the shadow line up behind the slider was to add blank pixels to the left, so the image ended up being about 1200px wide, this pushed shadow part right. Because it's all blank pixels it only added about 1kb. If someone thinks there is a better solution let me know.
