Align "center horizontal" centers vertically and "center vertical" works horizontally in CS5. Is this an undocumented feature????

I have stored/Retrieved Word documents in Oracle using a utility
that comes with the ConText Option. Essentially I wrote PL/SQL
to run the utility to get the file out of DB and onto the hard
disk, then another PL/SQL to run the utility to move the file
from hard disk into DB. I think the name of the utility was
txtio. I hope this helps.

Horizontal align center in table-cell

Hello,
I'm having a problem getting to horizontally align a div (schilderij) in another div (schilderijholder).
This schilderij div has a height and width of 480px and has display: table-cell. The content of this div is an image, with different sizes on every page (there are multiple pages, it is some sort of photogallery). The images are nicely centered, horizontally and vertically, inside this div.
The containing div (schilderijholder), has a width of 100% of it's containing block, which has a variable size
The problem is, I cant get the schilderij div horizontally centered in the schilderijholder div.
Here's the simplified code. If you need the whole code, I can post that too.
    <div class="leftWrapper" style="clear: none; float: left; width: 68%; height: 100%;">
    <div class="content" style="margin: 40 10 50 30;">
      <div id="schilderijholder" style="text-align: center; width: 100%; height: 100%;">
          <div id="schilderij" style=" height: 480px; width: 480px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; display: table-cell;">
            <img src="../Assets/Schilderijen/normal/01.jpg" width="399" height="480" align="center" />
            </div>
          </div>
        <div id="pageControl">
        <span class="left">
          <a href="schilderijen2.html"></a> </span>
          <span class="right">
          <a href="02.html">Volgende</a>
            </span>
          </div>
      </div>
     </div>
What I've tried:
     - "margin: 0 auto;" on the schilderij div
     - "position: relative;" on the schilderijholder div and "position: absolute; left: 50%; margin-left: -240px;" on the schilderij div
But these both don't work.
Does anybody know a solution for this, or maybe has something to put me on the right way?
Thanks in advance!

Let's fix your code first:
<div class="leftWrapper" style="float: left; width: 68%; height: 100%;">
    <div class="content" style="margin: 40px 10px 50px 30px;">
      <div id="schilderijholder" style="text-align: center; width: 100%; height: 100%;">
          <div id="schilderij" style=" height: 480px; width: 480px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; display: table-cell;">
            <img src="../Assets/Schilderijen/normal/01.jpg" width="399" height="480" align="center" />
            </div>
          </div>
        <div id="pageControl">
        <span class="left">
          <a href="schilderijen2.html"></a> </span>
          <span class="right">
          <a href="02.html">Volgende</a>
            </span>
          </div>
      </div>
     </div>
Why do you need the div#schilderij at all? Seems unnecessary to me.
Then you would need the display:table-cell on the parent to this div, not on the div#schilderij, which has basically the same dimensions as the image. But I think this is all too complicated. Why not just this?
<div class="leftWrapper" style="float: left; width: 68%;">
    <div class="content" style="margin: 40px 10px 50px 30px;">
      <div id="schilderijholder" style="text-align: center;">
            <img src="../Assets/Schilderijen/normal/01.jpg" width="399" height="480" align="center" />
            </div>
          </div>
        <div id="pageControl">
        <span class="left">
          <a href="schilderijen2.html"></a> </span>
          <span class="right">

Why does Vertical Align Center align objects along the horizontal?

And why does Horizontal Align Center align objects along the vertical?
-g-
P.S. Please please please make the Eydropper tool available by function key so I can toggle to it while using the Text tool. Please!

g,
but when I select two objects and click the vertical align button they snap to an invisible horizontal line
This is (almost) identical to:
Because (the centres of) vertically aligned objects will be on the same horizontal level/line.
And that is just one way of expressing what vertical alignment means. Here are a few others:
Their centres have the same height,
Their centres have the same Y value on the Artboard/Workspace,
In all cases, you can draw a horizontal line through their centres.
Mathematically, Y = C (Y is a constant value C) is the equation for a horizontal line.

"horizontal/vertical align center" relative to one object, not the average

Hello!
I see in Illustrator, if i select 2 objects and i choose to align them relative to their centers, both objects will move to the middle point of the distance between their original positions.
Is there a way to make just one of them move?
Am i able to center one object to another object that is already in its final position?
thanks a lot!

i tried it, but it doesn't work. here's what i did:
-selected one object
-shift-selected the other one
-clicked horizontal align center
both objects moved
(i am using CS3)

Center text horizontally and vertically on composition?

Hello,
I'm working on a short projects (15 minutes length). Every 30 seconds a title fade in/out against a blank (grey) composition. How do I go about easily centering the text (single word) on the composition both horizontally and vertically? I know I can horizontally center via the paragraphs pallet, but how do I center on the vertical at the same time?
Right now I'm modifying the Anchor Point of the text so it's in the center (visually) of the text, and then set the Position to the center of the composition, but every time I increase the type size, I have to go through this all over again...and with different titles coming up every 30 seconds or so, a simple text size change turns into a lot of work.
I can only image there's a better way to do this and would appreciate any advice for an AE newb!
Thanks,
Kristin.

It is possible to do this via scripting, but it won't be "live", i.e. you would have to run a script to grab the dimensions of the text layer each time you want to update its vertical alignment.
It is also possible to roughly align text vertically using expressions given three limitations:
1) You'll have to be willing to consider the height of the text layer to only extend from the cap height of the first line to the baseline of the last line, meaning descenders and ascenders wouldn't be counted as part of the height of the text layer.
2) You'll have to manually locate the center of the first line of text.
3) You'll have to be happy with a consistent point size and line spacing throughout.
Given those limitations, vertical alignment can be done as follows:
Add a Position animator to your text layer. Delete the default range selector you won't need it. Next add the Line Spacing property to the newly-created animator (using its "Add" menu). In the Character panel, set your text layer's line spacing to 0 (it will really be set to .01, but the difference shouldn't be noticeable once we're done). In the Line Spacing animator, set the desired line spacing (unfortunately, "Auto" isn't an option).
Now set your Text layer's anchor point such that it falls in the center of the text's cap height (the height of a capital letter with no ascender or descenders).
Next, add the following expression to the Position property of the text animator (NOT the Position property of the text layer's Transform group):
>STA = text.sourceText.split("\r");
>value - [0, (STA.length-1)*propertyGroup(countUp = 2).property.lineSpacing[1]]/2
The second line should be all one line, but the forum insists on wrapping it. Be aware that if you later decide to change the point size of the font, you'll need to temporarily disable the text animator and center up the anchor point again.
You can also use this method to force the text layer to shift up to accommodate new lines by deleting the "/2" at the end of the second line of the expression.

"Vertical Align Center" Text and a Shape

Hi designers,
I wonder if anyone could give me a hand with aligning text and shapes? I would like to align a number to the center of a circle. "Horizontal Align Center" works well. "Vertical Align Center", however, does not yield the desired result. The number turns out to be higher in the cycle (see figure below). The distance from the top of the circle to the top of the number zero, X, is shorter than the distance between the bottom of the circle and the bottom of the number zero. Is it possible to equal these two distances?
Figure 1: The Outcome of Vertical Align Center
Thanks,
Haobo

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you very much for you very prompt reply, which solves the problem very effectively.
If you do not mind, I have got two further questions.
Firstly, is there an option similar to "Align to Path: Centre" under "Type on a Path Options" that changes how text is aligned?
Secondly, does InDesign offer the aforementioned function?
I sometimes label a large quantity of locations with alphanumeric characters, which are subject to frequent changes, and therefore would like to preserve the text if possible. I have heard that manipulating text is InDesign's area of expertise. If this function is not available in Illustrator but offered by InDesign, I can jot down another reason for acquiring the latter and split the workflow in the future.
Thanks,
Haobo

Photo grid alignment - cannot align or center vertically

I'm adding photos into a photo grid and cannot center them vertically within the blue box of the grid. I'm using 1 column so that each photo appears as large as possible. I've cropped and edited the photos in iPhoto, so some are horizontally shaped while most are portrait shaped. They automatically want to position themselves in the blue photo box, not allowing me to center them vertically so that their spacing on the photo page appears more even. Adjusting spacing on the photo grid pop-up does not help this problem.
Is there a way to center vertically a photo within a single column photo grid?

Thank you, but the problem has not been solved. When I click on the narrow line blue box and go to Arrange-Align Objects-Center, only the first photo in the group moves position. All other photos, relative to each other, have uneven spacing, especially vertically. Either there is lots of space between them, or they are jammed together - all depends on their shape. When I try to Command Click each photo to then Arrange-Distribute Objects-Vertically, these menu options are not available (gray). It works on text blocks, and individually placed photos in other areas, but not on photos brought into a photo grid. Unless each photo is exactly the same shape and size, spacing and aligning in the grid is very uneven. Any more ideas?

Center text in DIV horizontally and vertically.

I made a simple nav bar at the bottom of a site I am building and had it centered horizontally and vertically. When I pulled up the page today the text is all the way to the left and I had no problems with it the day before. I have made no changes to the code. I am using IE9, but I have been since I started this site. Everything seems fine in Firefox. If I turn IE9 to compatibility mode it centers horizontally but not vertically. Any ideas?

Photoshop Elements 7 - How do I align/center a layer?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 7. How do I align/center a layer vertically or horizontally on a page?

Are you adding objects to a blank layer? If so bring up the ruler then drag and drop guides to your center and any additional points. You can also set so that objects automatically snap to the guide lines.
If you want to align visually similar images on top of each other, there is no auto-align like in CS5. The only work around is to lower the opacity of the top layer and then use the move tool to align by eye.

How do you position text in a div tag to be in the center vertically?

Can someone help? I am struggling to convert from being dependent on tables to design sites to using all css and divs. Anyway, in my practice file, i made a header that is styled to be 50 pixels tall. The type in the header goes to the top. I am used to having type default to to the left and positioned vertically in the center they way type "works" when placed in a <td>. What am I not "getting?" I would like to know that if I change the css for the header region from 50 to another value that the type will always be positioned where I want it.
thanks in advance for any suggestions. Maybe the picture I've attached will better explain what I'm talking about. Oh, and I've also attached the html file

I'm afraid you'll have to starting looking at things differently. Css cannot yet vertically centre anything in a <div> container reliably.
About as good as it gets is one line of text (see code below) using the line-height attribute AND you need to give the <div> a height too which is also likely to lead to other problems. So forget it. You can use padding and margin to push it into a 'visual position vertically centered' in your browser but there is no guarantee that others with different browser set ups will be seeing it the same.

Dreamweaver CS3 adds p align="center" /p 44 times after a table and before the text. When the code is remove it puts the text to the side of the table. In Dreamweaver the setup is correct but in Chrome, Firefox, and IE there is a large space.

Horizontally or Vertically Aligned Duplicating

When i dulpicate an object across horizontally or vertically
(holding down Option, Shift), the duplicated object usually doesn't
stay aligned with it's original, see
http://home.exetel.com.au/twistedpancreas/images/color_change.swf
this has happened also in previous versions of Flash (I'm on
Flash 8 currently and on a Mac, but it happens on PC's too)
but i've never had the opportunity to ask why this is.
So i will now.
Why is it so?

Yeah i did a little test, and it seems to happen more when
you zoom into an area.
i also found if you try to select the centre of the object
and constrain it, it usually doesn't jump somewhere else. I think
converting it to a symbol also helps so that you know where the
centre point is.
But yeah if you select an edge of an object and try to
constrain it seems to jump somewhere else, which can be a bit
frustrating. Sometimes it just means zooming out (like 800%) and
holding down Shift and using the arrow keys to constrain the
movement.
Hope that helps a little.

Dreamweaver MX How to get pages to automatically align center

I can get text within a layer or table to align center, but I can't figure out how to get the entire page to always snap to center, regardless of the browser window size. I'm sure this is easy, but I just don't see it.
Whatever the solution, must the contents of the page be in a table? If so, can I convert the layers (photos and text) that make up some pages into tables?
Sorry, if this is basic, but I haven't used the program in a few years, and my books andmanuals are in storage 4 hours away.

You need 3 basic things to center a page.
A valid HTML document type declaration on the first line of your code. DW normally does this for you when you create a new page.
CSS container width in pixels, ems or %;
CSS margin-left and margin-right of auto.
Page centering can be expressed with the following CSS code:
body {
width: 980px;
margin:0 auto;
NOTE: This won't work with positioned elements (aka Layers) because they are removed from normal document flow.

How to align center for 800x600 webpage on a 1024x768 screen ?

Dear all,
I wonder if I can align center for a 800x600 webpage on a 1024x768 screen using Oracle Portal ?
thanks

Hi Sonia,
I can create the user inteface template successfully as you described.
You can use a user interface template for this.
Go to Providers -> Locally Built Providers -> Shared Components -> User Interface Templates.
Then create a template for your pages and add the following lines:
<table width="800" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td>#BODY#</td>
</tr>
</table>
But, I can't follow the following.
I go back to my page group and click [Properties]. And I can't find the [Optional].
I am using Portal 1.10.2. Can you help me ?
After that, go back to your page template, and on its properties, go to optional and then select the User Interface Template you have just created.
With this you won't have to change your original Template.
Thanks
