I'm using twitter bootstrap to create a website for desktops and mobile phones. I want the login form to be centered both in the x direction and in the y direction.
So if the grid was 100 x 100, then the form would be at 50,50.
I'm able to get the form somewhat to the center of the screen in firefox using text-align: center; but firefox puts it a bit off to the right.
What can I do to get to the center?
Here is my HTML
Here is my bootstrap.css
Try using margin:auto; on the <div> that contains the form.
That's an awful lot of nested div tags in there, though I know it's partly Bootstrap's fault! One thing I would stress is to make use of the ones that you already have to use with Bootstrap rather than adding new ones to change positioning, because that will create lots of headaches.
After playing with this, I didn't come up with a definite solution, but here's what I think:
Read up on CSS media queries... this will make the solution to your
desktop > mobile problem much easier!
Don't use CSS for a vertical alignment. Divs aren't table cells
and can't really act like them. A small JavaScript that sniffs out
the width of the screen and does the positioning math is better. A
quick Google search will bring up plenty.

I need help with a CSS code. I run a photography website on wordpress and i have some problems displaying my pictures. There are 2 formats of pictures that are being displayed: landscape (1200 x 800 px) and portrait (595 x 853px). I want to group the tall ones 2 per row because they look so much better. I have about 40-50 images per post.
Is there any way to do this?
I've attached a demo of how i would like to result to be.
Thank you!
You can use a jQuery plugin such as Masonry or Isotope to do this - these are designed to arrange your items in a grid so that they fit nicely.
You will still need to get some HTML and CSS in place before adding the plugin to adjust the positions of the images, so you'll need to work off the plugin documentation or examples (or provide a code snippet).
It depends on how dynamic your posts are. If there's a way for you to know the structure of your HTML + CSS + content before-hand, then you can create a .tall-row class for the tall images and a .long-row class for the long images. And it's basically planning out the layout ahead of time. You can easily do this using traditional CSS, CSS FlexBox (newer), or CSS Grid (newest).
If the order of the images is going to be some-what dynamic (so you don't know when a tall image will render or when a long image will render) you can try CSS Grid'd grid-auto-flow: dense; property, which attempts to calculate the best overall fit for all of it's children. Only if this doesn't work would I suggest using a JS or jQuery plugin.
Here's an example of CSS Grid's grid-auto-flow: dense;

I'm totally new to CSS3 and I am having trouble with images...
In the desktop web it's working fine with big pictures and texts about 1/10 its height
but on mobile devices the images are too big to be displayed and the texts look so small since the screen is zoomed out.
So I want the picture to be cropped at sides keeping the height as original.
I'm using bootstrap so it'd be better if there was a fancy way to deal it with bootstrap classes..
sorry for the easy and possibly duplicate question I couldn't find one though
Since you are using bootstrap. there is a class in bootstrap.css called
".img-responsive"
I would suggest you to add this class to your img tag
I am building a site for my friend, He specified a bug for me. He said,"When I Zoom in/out the browser, the Website layout “breaks apart” but it is working fine in 100% Browser Zoom."
Please let me know the Standard for web development for Browser Zooming
In CSS there is something called "em". Different from pixels, they adjust themselves to screen settings. With most CSS elements, zooms should not be a problem, but if you are really having trouble, I would recommend using em as units
usually I don't consider zooming but if you want a good website that shows ok with different screen resolutions like in mobile browsers or tablet you'd better use responsive style sheets.
you do not need to write it by your own. you can use style sheets like twitter bootstrap which already supports responsive web pages
you can download it from here enter link description here
The webpage should be responsive enough like to work for "smaller screens" that is more or less how it will work for your CSS when they zoom in.
Make sure you have min-width or min-height set to your body or general container so, when it gets to this minimums it just stais as it looks.
For example, for the SO webpage, you have the div with id "content" inside the general div.container that has a width of 980px, so if you zoom in a lot it just shows the bottom scrollbar.
I am new to css.
I wanted to know which is the best standard technique to keep the page intact even when the browser size changes, the page is zoomed in or is used for any other screen size. I have tried centering my layout using a container but it gets disturbed when the page zooms in (i know it will, but all what I want is that the elements don't go out of the screen and if possible stay in almost the same position).
So what is the best and easy standard technique in css to achieve the
Thanks for your help.
The newest, cutting-edge method is called responsive web design. It's a bit complicated, but it's looking like the way to develop for multiple screen sizes. It is especially useful for small websites.
Check out some examples here: http://mediaqueri.es/
And some more in-depth information here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
If you set a set size for your body element anytime the browser is re-sized nothing within the page will change.
So the CSS you want to add is as follows:
body {
width: 960px; //being the size screen you want to accommodate your site to
}

I have redesigned only the Home page using the DIV tags from Traditonal HTML tables,
http://www.cricandcric.com
After that my page looks scattering across the screen, if the screen resolution increases.
for the lower screen resolution its looking good, IE and Mozilla compatible
I am not able to make out the mistake which is done, can any one help me check this out.
Can any one share the resources if they on how to make the website which is developed using either HTML or IE more compatible with all VERSIONs of IE and Firefox, with all the different resolutions format, it should work fine,
if any one has any good article share the link to me.
thanks in advance
your "middle1" section has a width defined as 1004px so should be almost the same size as the navigation, however the contents two tables and a div are positioned such that they dont float (certainly I cant see any floating in your CSS).
You're also using tables for layouts - i think thats the crux of the problem. Looks like you are trying to make a three column layout using CSS - have a look at this example: http://ago.tanfa.co.uk/css/layouts/css-3-column-layout-v1.html
I had similar problems for my website and it turned out that fixed width for div elements changed the rendering of the page depending on monitor resolution or screen size. I fixed the problem by using relative width by % instead of px for divs. It was a css issue.
