Re: [WSG] Before I start

2004-03-06 Thread Christiansen Jonsson

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I should clarify

I would like to have a 750px X 420px container div (wrapper) floating
horizontal and vertical in the centre on the screen. Is that possible using
css or do I need a javascript? (which I really would like to avoid)

I did a search for David Hasselhoff on the WSG site but no results. I'm
sure a David Hasselhoff search on google would give me some results... but
not the one I'm looking for ;)

 In what way do you want to float it vertically? If you want to sit a box
 in the vertical middle of another box, set its top and bottom margin to
 be the same:

 --
 top margin
 
 box
 ---
 bottom margin
 -

 margin  : 30px 0px;


 vertical-align : middle; can be applied to table-cell and inline
 elements (the CSS2 rec explains it). In tables you can then apply
 td
 {
   vertical-align : middle;
 }

 instead of using html presentation of td valign=middle


 I think, though, you are talking about floating a box so the text wraps
 around it above and below. If you do search for the David Hasselhoff
 experiment/competition run a while back - your answer may be there. I
 believe The Daemonite (Ben) Bishop had a solution to Hasselhoff quandary.

 :D

 Cheers
 James
