Center a DIV inside a DIV with width of 100%?

OK, I'm new.

Is it possible to have a DIV that got a width of 100%, so the background image still spans the screen

& put another DIV inside this DIV, which will be centered in the browser window

& then have other div inside the centered div I position?

I'm sure it's very simple, but I can't make it work.

All advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Give the div a width and left/right margins auto internal, in your CSS.  It will be centered within its container, regardless of, for example,.

{#inner}

Width: 960px;

Auto margin: 0;

}

...

...

DIV 'outside' will have a default 100% width.  "Indoor" div will be centered inside the div 'outside' by a 960px width.

  • problem of layout with width/height 100%

    Hi all

    I have a grid with tilelists container in the cells. TileList width and height is set to 100%. Height and width gridRows and gridItems can also be programmed to 100%. Works as expected.

    Now, I want to change the height of gridRow to 60 pixels-behavior strange and unexpected happens: the tilelist does not inherit the height of the element parent for a reason, the height is always 100% and extend beyond the limits of gridItem. Is there a simple way to inherit the height of parent? Thank you b

  • How to center an image inside a tag div CSS using dreamweaver?

    I know that this may seem like a very stupid to ask question, as it should seem so simple, but how do I do this? I can't be able to center an image inside a div. Here's the code I came up with this day. Thanks in advance for your help.

    < / style >

    < / head >

    < body >

    < div id = "PageContainer" >

    < div id = "PageHeader" > img.centered {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto ;} < img src = "Untitled - 5.jpg" alt = "rowland" class = "Center" / > < / div >}

    Alternatively, you can ignore the other div tags after the first div id. The first div id who has my link to the image is that I'm trying to get Center my image. The picture is there but does not balance.

  • Center a div in a fluid grid?

    I can't get a div with text inside to Center on the page in a fluid layout.

    I tried auto margins and display block.  And a few other things.

    Nothing seems to work.


    Could someone please explain to me how to do this? I've read about 20 sites that say auto margins should work.


    Thank you!

    Put this in your query support desktop, Tablet & Mobile.  Be sure to get a glimpse into a good browser like FF, Chrome or Opera.  IE8 does not support questions from the media.

  • How to Center a div positioned absolute sensitive

    Hello

    I can't Center a div that I have position: absolute on. The width of the element, because it takes account of the 75% of margin auto is: 0; does not work. I do not know the width of the element container, the one with the position: relative to this subject. Its "bootstrap" reactive col-md-12 :) Thank you

    I tried and it doesn't work:

    {#HomeBoxWrapper}

    Width: 75%;

    position: absolute;

    bottom: 60px banner;

    Left: auto;

    right: auto;

    z-index: 10;

    }

    And it does not work

    {#HomeBoxWrapper}

    Width: 75%;

    position: absolute;

    bottom: 60px banner;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-right: auto;

    z-index: 10;

    }

    I thought about it. My div occupies 75% of the width of the viewport. There is 25% of the width of viewport remaining. So 25/2 = 12.5. For me to get 12.5% of the empty on each side of my div display window, I need the value left or right to 12.5%. Not both. I went with the right. Worked perfectly.

    {#HomeBoxWrapper}

    Width: 75%;

    position: absolute;

    bottom: 60px banner;

    Right:12.5%;

    z-index: 10;

    }

  • div with border

    Hi I've created an id div with a border that I want to use to get a price list at the moment as many m inside, but it does not appear on the page and I do not understand why, can help please. Thanks, Jeff

    the div is: < div id = "price-box" >

    CSS file is: residential - page_cs5.css

    the width is 600px

    Site and the page is: http://thecarpetandflooringconsultant.co.uk/residential-domestic_carpet_and_flooring.php

    That's because this div is nested in several other films, whose (div id = "p7IRM_2" class = "p7IRM01") has overflow set to hidden. All content outside the limit of this div is hidden. It is be the div slide show, which probably has other parameters set by javascript. If you move the "mmmmm" out of p7IRM_2 div, it should appear.

  • Center a Div

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to Center a Div layer including a Flash Gallery will be exchanged, but I don't know how exactly. I tried to learn more and came across a few examples where people have used a "margin-left/right: auto ' thing at the Center a Div, but then I read somewhere else that it worked for CSS2 only. I use Dreamweaver CS5. Am I supposed to use instead the percentages? For example, I've just drawn a Div on a new file and the CSS looks like this:

    {#apDiv1}
    position: absolute;
    Width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    z-index: 1;
    left: 10px;
    Top: 10px;
    }

    Anyone would be able to tell me what are the values I would need to change for percentages and the percentages, I should be entered so that this Div to be centered? Thank you and sorry for my question extremely noobish!

    You give conflicting signals with this style.

    Thanks to the position: absolute; and giving a left: 10px; and a top: 10px; you say actually, put this div to x = 10 and y = 10. Which will only focus on your page when your page is 120px wide, which is very narrow!

    To Center a div, do not use absolute positioning, in other words, do not use an APdiv.

    To rework this div to Center within its container, follow these steps:

    #Div1 {/ * best to rename this div in order to eliminate the confusion! * /}
    position: relative;
    Width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    z-index: 1;
    }

    Any element with a specified width block can be centered in this way. A typical: attribute value; pair is:

    margin: 0 auto;

    who interprets as:

    upper and lower margins are 0

    the left and right margins are auto

    You will, of course, the top and bottom values other than 0, margins, but the left and right margins must be automatic to the div in the Center.

  • Div with background will not make properly

    Hello

    I hope you can help out me.  I'm a newbie, but I appreciate learning Dreamweaver and learning * with * DW as well.  I have successfully set up a site with DW, but a second has me baffled.  With this site, I try to use a photo as the background for a main div.  I was experimenting with different looks, and when I removed the #main height/width and then pasted in the height/width of the div, the div will not return to the old height/width front.  I tried all sorts of changes to see what else could have changed, but I don't know that this css is exactly the same than when made correctly.

    My goal is to create a page with a sidebar on the left and a main div with the background of the photo and a title on the page and a footer at the bottom.

    Here's the URL: www.learningtreefarm.org/mainindex.html

    Here's the CSS:

    }

    #container #sidebar img {}
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 30px;
    }
    #container #sidebar ul {}
    padding-left: 40px;
    }
    #footer {}
    height: 100px;

    }
    #container #footer HR {}

    padding-top: 15px;
    }

    Hope that gives you enough information to see my problem.

    Thank you, Osgood, but I don't want the background through the entire site, just to the main div.  The sidebar and the footer

    will be part of a model for future pages, but this is the first page of the site. I'm sure I know how to maintain the size of the div with just the background and the text line.  My confusion is why, when I removed the size properties and then glued hide them, did not the div return to what it was before?

    Your main

    is not picking up the width and the height because you have a space so that is the unit of measure and px. (see below)

    #main {}

    height: 575 px;
    Width: 773 px;

  • Floating a div with absolute positioning

    Hello, I'm floating a div wrapped around and have another filling of the space to the right. I used absolute positioning to align two div on the bottom of the package, and I think that's what it's a waste. If I remove the bottom: 20px; then the right div takes up 100% of the envelope and executes a push of the div floating left down. If I put the float: located on the div then the div will not develop far enough and will be at the top of the div by default. How can I set these two div so that the right one fills the available space, but the two are aligned vertically at the bottom? Here is the code I have so far:

  • Tag div with text and image vertically centered

    I'm having a problem with vertically align an image with a line of text in a div tag using an external CSS file.
    Any help would be appreciated

    You can simply do:

    ProdDimensions img {vertical-align: middle ;}}

    Or you can use an unordered list that has your arrow incorporated as a background image, something like this:

    . ProductList ul {list-style-image: url (Arrow.gif); list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:none;text-align:left ;}}
    . ProductList li {margin: 0 ;}}

    Wrap your unordered list around a div with the ProductList class (or whatever you want to call it) and it will display with the arrows in the middle of the text.

    Another way to do it would be to put a background image on the ProdDimensions class as follows:
    background: url (Arrow.gif) left Center no-repeat; padding-left: 21px;

    This will simply put a background image in the left middle of your div, the padding will ensure that the text is not on top of the arrow.

  • Could I put in a fluid grid layout, a div with any property?

    Could someone please help me?, thanks

    Could I put another div in a layout fluid grid? Could put a div with a z-index value a fluid page layout grid? I could put a div with a transition to a fluid grid layout? Could I get any property of a div in a layout fluid grid?

    I can create a different stylesheet that takes all the fluid grids?

    forgive, but I have all these questions...

    Thank you and best regards.

    Fluid grid is right DW on "Sensitive" web design

    Any changes made to their fluid grid CSS break Visual AIDS that is displayed in design mode.

    Other than that, I don't see why you can't use a regular DIV within a checkerboard to fluid - and style it with one different CSS file (other than the presentation of the fluid grid CSS files).

    If you're referring to the CSS3 transitions, they work.

    Once again, as I said, fluid Grid layout is terminology just DW - any code you write it will work. However, if you want the full support of Visual AIDS, do not change the code manually in the default .css file. Feel free to add content / code in a different .css file.

    Good luck.
