Re: [css-d] Text-Align:Center Not Completely Centered

2008-10-20 Thread Chris Akins
Well - the clear:both mentioned above worked fairly well on everything
except IE 6 or 7.  What else should I have expected?  :-)  It blew the
rest of the page to smithereens in those browsers.

So I'm at a loss to know how to really get the content centered and
still not have a bunch of dead space at the top.

 But the amount of blank space above the heading now just doesn't look
 right either.

 Hmm. . .



 Try:
 .textpadderC h1 {clear:both;margin: 0 0 20px 0;padding: 0;}



 Add lead beneath Back to gallery thumbnails until the block looks
 vertically and visually balanced? Or wait for someone else to provide a
 means to bring h1 tighter to the top of the block.

Did you try my suggestion?

.trC {position:absolute;right:0;}

Yes I had tried it.  Position:absolute works everywhere except IE 6.
So, perhaps my best bet is to go with it and add another conditional
for IE6 in my page.  I already have one anyway.

While I did say all I want is the content to be centered.  I should
have added that I'd also like to NOT have the extra dead space above
the h1 tag that shows up with the clear:both on it.  I had looked at
putting a clearing statement on it earlier plus a negative top margin
thinking that would do it.  But to no avail.  I guess it can't clear
those elements AND be pulled back  up there.

But the amount of blank space above the heading now just doesn't look
right either.

[css-d] Text-Align:Center Not Completely Centered

2008-10-17 Thread Chris Akins
Page and CSS:

http://www.springfieldmo.gov/newSite/sfd/galleries/photo1/pages/BobCumley-1.html
http://www.springfieldmo.gov/newSite/css/gallery.css

There's also a reset.css file, but it doesn't have any positioning
info in it that should be pertinent.

On this page all I want is the content  in div class=textpadderC
to be centered.  For some reason anything at the top of the page is
pushed to the left by 61px - the width of the following class:

.trC {
background-image: url(../images/midRndCrnr2.jpg);
background-position: 60px 0px;
width: 61px;
height: 60px;
float: right;
font-size: 0;
position:relative;
z-index:5;
}


If I remove this tag in the HTML - span class=trC/span - the
content centers like it should.  But with this span, no dice.  I can't
figure out why.

Thanks ahead for any input and/or solution.

Chris A.
