center aligning floating divs without a fixed width wrapper

1 New Member
I am trying to center align 2 left floated divs within a % width background. I know that setting the wrapper div to a fixed width works, but can it be done with a fluid background? (basically I want 2 fixed width divs to center on a background image that stretches across the whole screen).

thanks

Hi, I've posted this question a few months ago but didn't get a truly satisfying answer then. So I'd like to post my question again: How can I center a DIV? The content in the DIV should be left-aligned, but the DIV itself should be centered, like: ---------------------------------- | |

How do you center, like I am trying to do, below the group of images? Why does it not work? Example: <div><h2>The Title</h2><img src="images/BigPicture.jpg" height="150px" width="250px"></div> </div> <div align="center"> <div style="float:left; height:121px; width:180px; border: solid yellow"><img src="images/1.jpg"></div>

I would like the floating divs to float and then the header to come after them , on the left. That's what I thought clearing the floats was for, but in this example, the header is to the right of the floating divs, nothing is cleared. What am I doing wrong ? Here is the url:http://www.reenie.org/test/test5.php Here is the code: <html> <head>

I HATE DIVS AND DIFFERENT BROWSERS!!! i spent the whole day and night searching for a way to center align stupid divs, the problem is that the code is so sensitive, i lost my mind trying to make them work in a certain way (like some should scroll with a fixed background and others shouldn't scroll bla bla..) and the divs are nested and positioned in different ways and if i change something it gets messed up and what works in in IE doesn't work...

I am new at this, css, and am having trouble doing what I want to do. I want div columns on the left and right that have a background image. Then I want a div in the center, of fixed width, with my content. I want the left and right divs to expand or contract to fill the space when the browser is resized. Alternately I want the center div to float over the side divs when the browser's width is less than the width of the three div's...

I was a hobbist web coder for years but I had to sidestep for a while. Now I'm trying to return to it and I'm trying to clarify how am I supposed to do somethings with CSS v.s. HTML and I'm specially having difficulties with center alignment of elements like images and tables. How is the "right" way to do it? (books that I have checked seemed to dodge the issue) I also have a doubt. html-atributes width and height are preferred over...

This is just barely above my head when it comes to css. I have a div that needs to contain rows of floating divs, but I need each row not to wrap on to the next one and continue to go right. The user will use a overflow: auto scroll to scroll to see the rest of the divs. illustration: # = === = = === === # = == = = # == ================== # =========

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
