Making floated element alignments to center

22 New Member
Is it possible to change #wrapper's inner elements alignments to center of page? I think its possible by using TABLE, but what about DIV?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <style>
  2. #left {
  3.     background: red;
  4.     width: 100px;
  5.     float: left;
  6. }
  7.  
  8. #center {
  9.     background: green;
  10.     width: 200px;
  11.     float: left;
  12. }
  13.  
  14. #right {
  15.     background: blue;
  16.     width: 100px;
  17.     float: left;
  18. }
  19. </style>
  20. <div id="wrapper">
  21.     <div id="left">LEFT</div>
  22.     <div id="center">CENTER</div>
  23.     <div id="right">RIGHT</div>
  24. </div>

If you assign a width to the wrapper div and give it margin:0 auto that will center it.

Greetings. I have a process that takes data from a MS Access2000 database and produces .pdf files. Everything works fine... but I'm trying to format the header and footer of the pdf file so that the a line can contain 2 tex-alignments (center and right). Thus far, I've had no success in achieving this criteria. Does anyone have any suggestions...? Here's what I have so far (the result is on 2 separate lines):

Hello. The issue is quite known: you have a block-level container holding a set of floated elements and you need that the container's content height take the floated elements' dimensions into consideration. E.g.: <div class="images"> <div class="image"><img src="example1.png" width="160" height="120" alt=""></div> <div class="image"><img src="example2.png" width="160" height="120"

Is this a known problem with IE6? I have a provisional two column layout, the left menu column is positioned absolute. The contents column is positioned relative. The contents column has an image floated right. The placement is there in IE6 but not the image. It does not matter whether the DTD is strict or transitional

Okay, so my subject sounds a bit crass. As much as I'd like to totally embrace css and avoid "deprecated" usage, sometimes the deprecated stuff is so much easier and more effective. Plus, it at least does what I want it to, while I'm left puzzled trying to make a css implementation do the same thing. Here is a simple example. I want to have four identical-sized images displayed in a two-by-two arrangement, wtih room for a centered...

>>does a floated element require a fixed width to work? >It does if the UA adheres to CSS 2.0 rules, not if it adheres to CSS 2.1 >float rules (or if it's IE). So does that mean nn6, moz1.0, moz1.4, Firefox, Opera (versions 4 to 6), and Safari 1.2 and IE have all implimented CSS 2 Float rules wrong? and the first one to get it right is Opera 7.5? Or is that the reason it was changed in CSS 2.1 because so many

I have 2 left floating divs on a page. Sometime the left side is larger, sometimes the right side is larger. I want the page to have a margin at the bottom of whichever div is the largest. If I put a bottom margin on one of the divs, it might not be the largest div, in which case the margin won't show up. If I put the margin on both divs, when the right floats below the left side in a small window, there is too much margin between the...

Hi All, Two questions: 1. Is it possible to make a floated div grow in width with its contents? I've been searching on the web for a way to make the width of a float grow with the width of its content, without success. There's loads of information about how to do this with heights, but I can't find anything that works for widths. Is it possible?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
