positioning

I need to position div popup to the center of browser screen ( no matter what size the screen is). And I want to keep the position as absolute as I don't want to move the popup down when I scroll down the page. This div is displayed when button is clicked using Jquery. I tried setting margin-left to half of the width like mentioned in other posts but It isn't working for me. Here is my code CSS code: .holder{ width:100%; position:absolute; left:0; top:0px; display:block; } .popup{ width:800px; margin:0 auto; border-radius: 7px; background:#6b6a63; margin:30px auto 0; padding:6px; } .content{

Is it possible to evenly space many elements in a div with changeable width. Here's not working example . If we use text-align:center; elements will be centered, but margin:0 auto; is not working. I want to accomplish something like justify+center: |..<elem>..<elem>..<elem>..<elem>..| // for one container width |..<elem>..<elem>..<elem>..| // for smaller container width |....<elem>....<elem>....| // even smaller container Container will be user resizable. One picture is worth a 1000 words: Container(red box) width:100%; So user can resize it (browser window, js, whatever). <--> represent even

I have kind of a weird question. On my page I have a main image of a planet in some heavy duty nebula. I have it set up so the min width is 1000px and max is 1500px. I have the sides fading out and this looks great with larger screens. What I'd like to try to do is when you're looking at it on a mobile device for example and it's cutting off the width at 1000 pixels, I'd like the image say 1300 pixels wide, centered and 150 pixels is cut off each side so you can't see the fade out at all, but is still able to then enlarge is the window's width becomes larger say on like a large iMac and that

I'd like to have a layout that consist of three adjacent divs. Side divs have static width (it may change via javascript) and center div fills a remaining area. When the first div's size changes it affect only the center one. It is similar to table (with dynamic rendering) that consist of three columns. Ok, but where is the problem. The problem is that if I put floating-left div into the first column, and block div in the second and third one, block divs behave in a strange way. They are rendered in their column below floating div from the first column. An example. In the first and second

.offset([coordinates]) method set the coordinates of an element but only relative to the document. Then how can I set coordinates of an element but relative to the parent? I found that .position() method get only "top,left" values relative to the parent, but it doesn't set any values. I tried with $("#mydiv").css({top: 200, left: 200}); but does not work. To set the position relative to the parent you need to set the position:relative of parent and position:absolute of the element $("#mydiv").parent().css({position: 'relative'}); $("#mydiv").css({top: 200, left: 200, position:'absolute'});

I have a simple (absolutely positioned) image slide-show that consists of a few images that rotate every few seconds. To have different areas of the changing image click-able, I also have an unordered list containing the different links, relatively positioned in order to use z-index. This works just fine in Firefox (3.6), Safari (windows) and Chrome (windows). However, the links seem to disappear behind the images in IE8 and IE7 (I haven´t even tried it in IE6 yet...). How can I bring the unordered list to the front in IE? (see code below) Edit: Link to working page Edit 2: What I did find

I am unsure how to position elements using css, as when I use methods like the following, whenever I resize the browser, the elements stay in the same place instead of where I would like them to be on the resized document. Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?! .logo { left: 20px; top: 20px; position: absolute; } #header h1 { margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 500px; color: rgb(127, 127, 126); line-height: 0px; } Please, have a fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/hHGRc/ Within the (X)HTML DOM, CSS recognizes four types of positioning. By default, every element in HTML is positioned Statically.

Ok I need to be able to position a bunch of random sized absolutely positioned words on a page but I don't want any of the elements to overlap. The end goal is to have a fluid word cloud that responds to user interaction (remember the Google Balls Doodle ?). I would really like to build this from scratch to develop my understanding of this type of development. Any help in this department would also be appreciated :) I'm not sure if you also want to position the words randomly inside a container, but i've written a fiddle that does just that. You can modify the code to position one word right
