I'm trying to center a breakout div at the bottom of my page using the following CSS:
#footer {
clear: both;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
I've bee working on this for hours and what's really frustrating is that I got it to work earlier but broke some other things with my other two divs and made some changes that fixed the problem but since then I've been completely unable to center the footer. It just doesn't look right aligned to the left or right.
I've tried suggestions from other web sites such as setting the left and right margin to 100% and margin: 0 auto; among other things. Nothing is working and my head is spinning.
How should I approach this seemingly easy problem?
Here is my footer, in case it helps:
<footer id="footer">
<address>webmaster#mydomain.net</address>
</footer>
I also tried using align-text: center both inline and in the external stylesheet that I'm using. Before I was able to get it working using that CSS in the external stylesheet. Then I make a bunch of changes really fast without keeping a record of what I was doing.
Please help?
once you define position:absolute;left: 0; then margin:0 auto; will not work obviously..
i think following trick will work for you...
#footer {
clear:both;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left:50%;
margin-left: -100px;
}
As you are using position: absolute; you cant use margin:0 auto;..in such cases left:50%;margin-left: -100px; is used generally to center a div horizontally
example:: FIDDLE
if you want to center div with position absolute than try this
#footer {
clear: both;
width:80%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left:-40%; /*should be half of footer width and it should be in -margin*/
}

I have web pages on http://rygol.cz/qlife/ and when I zoom out, the id="contacts" goes anywhere every iteration when I zoom out. I need something like
border: 0;
Because I need that text of will be every of bottom of
any ideas how to do that?
To align a div at the bottom of the content add {position: relative;} to the content div and {position: absolute; bottom: 26px;} to the div you want to align.
CSS:
#content-wrapper {
position: relative;
}
#leftcolumn {
padding-bottom: 110px; /* this will prevent the normal content in the left column to go under the aligned div */
}
#contacts {
margin-top: 0;
position: absolute;
bottom: 26px;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/NMDCF/
First of all, try to validate your HTML by using the following link : HTML Validation
try to fix those errors before trying to fix your id="contact"
as for the id="contact" use position:absolute or position:relative; that may solve your problem. if that did not work, use this display:block; or display:inline-block; both could help you achieve your goals.
The red footer gets up in the middle. How to make it keep it self at bottom? Like clear: both and overflow: hidden.
I have tried many things, is there something I am doing wrong?
Demo
The code is too large to be pasted here (30000 chars limit). Please, send me working fiddle.
update: it works now.
#footer {
position: relative;
height: 274px
bottom: 0;
margin-top: 274px;
}
You have
#footer {
margin:-274px 0 0;
}
Which is giving it a negative top margin and moving the footer up. Try removing that line. Though you may also need to tweak the content of the page. You should use the clearfix on the content so it doesnt go behind the footer.
Try this :
#footer {
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
}
clear: both is invalid with position: absolute elements, because they are out of the normal flow.
set a position: absolute; bottom: 0; style on the div.gallery element and it will be on the bottom of its container.
But it won't be enough for you, you should yet move your <div class="gallery"> to move out of its container div.
Hey guys I simply cannot get this to work.
I have some content that is centred on the page using the margin: auto; "trick".
In this content I have an image. I need to make a color bar coming under the image continuing out to the sides of the browser. On the right side I need it to look like its coming up onto the image.
I have made this picture to try an graphically show what I mean: image
As you can see the bar runs from the left to the right side of the browser. The centred image is just placed on top of it and then an image positioned on the top of the image. But I haven't been able to get this working. Any one who would give it a go?
I tried positioning the bar relative and z-index low. This worked but the bar keep jumping around in IE 7-8-9. Centring the image wasn't easy either and placing that smaller image on top was even harder. It wouldn't follow the browser if you resized it. The problem here is that the user have to be able to upload a new picture so I cant just make a static image.
Please help I am really lost here
EDIT:
Tried the example below but when I run the site in IE 7-8-9 I have different results. link
I have made a jsFiddle which should work in Chrome and IE7-9: http://jsfiddle.net/7gaE9/
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="bar1"></div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/200/300"/>
<div id="bar2"></div>
</div>
CSS
#container{
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
#bar1{
background-color: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
}
#bar2{
background-color: blue;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
z-index: 3;
height: 30px;
width: 40%;
position: absolute;
}
img{
text-align: center;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
The key here is that the container is positioned relative, thus enabling absolute positioning of the child elements in relation to their parent. Use z-index to control how the elements are stacked.
A method I use for centering anything with css is:
.yourclass {
width:500px;
position:absolute;
margin-left:50%;
left:-250px;
}
'left' must be have of your width and then make it negative.
To date I have not experienced any problems with this.
I am making a very simple blog for my PHP project, but am having a simple problem. I can't get the image for my header to float all the way right.
I have a banner with some text on the left, I have a 1px slice repeating across the width of whatever resolution may be chosen (ensuring the banner fills any screen). I would like the image to always render on the right edge of the screen, again, independent of screen resolution. But it is coming in at a fixed position. Here is what I have written:
HTML:
<div id="header">
<img src="images/banner.jpg" alt="banner" title="Prairie"/>
<img class="right_image" src="images/banner_right_image.jpg" alt="elavator" title="prairie elevator"/>
</div>
CSS:
#header {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
background: url(images/banner_right.jpg) repeat-x;
z-index: 1;
}
#header.right_image {
float: right;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
z-index: 1;
}
What is the issue here?
Thanks for any input.
You should separate #header.right_image so that it is #header .right_image
Also remove position: fixed from #header.right_image
This works:
#header .right_image {
float: right;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/FTBWU/
A link to your site would help!
I always throw at the top of my header:
* { margin:0; padding:0}
You probably have padding or margins inherintly applied to your html or body tags depending on what browser you're using. Try that - and the is there a URL I can see the whole thing at?
I don't know how well the float works with a fixed positioned element. Maybe try something like this for your image?
#header .right_image {
right: 0px;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
z-index: 1;
}
I'm confused here... Here's my site that I'm working on: http://s361608839.websitehome.co.uk/marbleenergy/
The div #main is sitting about 10px below #navigation and I've tried bringing it up 10px by adding:
#main {
margin-top: -10px;
}
Had no luck there unfortunately. I'm learning CSS here, what is it I need to do?
Thanks
using absolute positioning isn't so flexible since you're aligning your div's in hard pixel measure. This will probably cause some error on several browser
Use relative positioning instead, and use top attribute to lift that div up
this is the code
#main{ position: relative; top: -10px; }
Add the following to the #main div
#main {
position: relative;
top:-10px;
}
position: relative; Will position the element relative to where it normally sits and aligning -10px from where it would sit will bring it into the gap you have made in your menu div. Haven't checked your site but can't see any reason why this won't work. I prefer not to set my elements to position: absolute; as the above member answered as any content under the div will be pulled up under the absolutely positioned div.
As the other answer more clearly details, you need to make sure that positioning is absolute, in order for any 'px' CSS specification to make sense, if not, it defaults to relative (to nearest parent container) I believe.
USE
#main {
position relative;
margin-top:-10px;
}
See Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/rathoreahsan/fSDpJ/
I browse your website in your case you need to use the following css:
#main {
position absolute;
margin:-10px 0 0 12px;
}
OR
#main {
position relative;
margin:0 0 0 12px;
top: -10px;
}
