Centering One DIV in Another DIV

Hi --
On this page:
http://www.mort.thelegatogroup.com/
the DIV #navigation is
set to extend left to right across the viewport. Within
#navigation is
another DIV -- #navbuttons -- that I want centered on the
screen.
While it's centered in IE6 I cannot get it centered in FF.
Can someone give
me a hand?
Thanks,
John

Give the inner div a CSS width, and left/right margins of
"auto".

Is it possible to keep centered an AP div into another div?

I have a division block with sizes set in ems containing some
text at the top and another div at the bottom with a picture in it.
I want the div with the picture to stay at a certain percentage
distance from bottom of the containing div block and be centered
into it when the user increases the text.
I manage to position the image at the bottom by styling its
div as AP and the containing div as relatively positioned but I
can't figure out how to keep the positioning at the center when the
user increases the text.
Is this possible?

Personally, I think the whole approach is big trouble.

Div inside another div

Ok..is it just me, or does auto height really do squat when
it comes to expanding and contracting of content in other divs that
it surrounds? I have a div surrounding 2 divs, one that floats to
the left, and one that floats to the right. If the div that
surrounds them both has a height that is bigger than they are, it
wraps just fine, however, if I set it to auto and add content to
the inside divs, it doesnt grow and expand accordingly, screwing up
the footer div I have below the div surrounding the 2 divs.
Reason I wanted a div surrounding the two divs is cuz if one
was longer than the other, due to there being more content in one
than the other, then the footer div would, despite it being the
full length of the page, shrink and fit itself below the shorter
div tag with less content. Why doesnt the div just stay below the
longest div since thats where it fits due to it being the full
length of the page!?
I attached my code. No, I cannot link the site. I do not have
the site. Its under construction with no host. Y'all have
dreamweaver, paste it in a new file and add your own random images.
the "filler text" is just there so I can show you that if I stick
that there it wraps around fine, but if you get rid of it, the div
thats supposed to be wrapping around two divs sticks itself above
the two divs..even though it doesnt close till have the two divs!!
WHY!?

If I understand you, you want two (or more) columns to be the
same height
without setting a height, or for them to grow according to
the largest ones
size.
If that is the case, google Faux Columns.
Basically, you wrap your divs (columns) in a container (the
one you have
sourounding) then you create a background image that is the
same size as
your columns, set the overflow in the container to hidden,
and you now have
the appearance of two even sized columns.
To be more clear, if you have two divs that total 800px, the
left being
200px that you want the bg color of black, and the right
being 600px with
the bg color you want green, you create an image that is
800px wide, 200 px
black on the left, 600px of green set on the right.
If you want a border to separate the two, put it on the
longer of the divs.
I am not sure how your float of left and right will affect it
though, I
usually float both left.

Centering with CSS inside a div box

Am subbing on a job, would appreciate help:
I am trying to center the three columns inside the address
box at the bottom
of the page.
http://www.mariagrist.net/dev/motors/bodyshop.htm
It should look just like the box at the bottom of the main
page
http://www.mariagrist.net/dev/motors/default.html
but with content centered.
I copied the divs from the default.htm but am changing them
in order to try
to center the content. So far I have only made it worse
because now the
columns are all on top of each other.
Thanks

Thanks heaps, that's exactly what I wanted it to do.
Aren't these forums just magnificent.

Stacking a Div ontop of another Div inside of a div?

ok so i am not a programmer, just a designer doing a family a favor building him a website. In using divs i am trying to get a div to overlap another div, while inside another div. confused? ok in simple: i have a div "wrapper" that holds the website center since the design is off center, inside this div i have another div which holds my body of the website "main", also inside the wrapper div i have a second div called "element" which is to sit top left and overlap the main div. The idea is to have an image cutting into the top left of the website, while keeping the rest of the site centered. I have attached a sample picture, and will post the code. if anyone can help please let me know thank you.
CODE:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">

I put a Spry Tabbed Panel obj in my site at

Add this to your document:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
Then change the following line
<div class="story" style="width:550px;">
to
<div class="story myTabbedPanels">
At a later stage you could add the style rules for myTabbedPanels to /styles/css-styles.css after having removed it from this document.
That is it.

How to move Profit centers from one hierarchy to another.

Hi All - In Standard hierarchy in our Profit center accounting, we have in KCH6N as below and doing posting to these successfully.
1. C1470 - 000001470 Profit center
2. C1472 - 000001472 Profit center
Now for some Business reason, we need to temporarily move above said profit centers in their hierarchy to another one C1410. So Users could post a journal entry and then move the profit centers back to their current location.
After we make the change, It should be
C1410 - 000001470 Profit center
C1410 - 000001472 Profit center
Can you please suggest me how to move the Profit centers from one hierarchy to another. Can you please let me know how to make this change.
Thanks

Hi Hoysala,
This is not the best practice, to change profit center hierarchy node to another node, just for the sake of JV.
If you have to allocate a cost/revenue from one cost center/profit center to another, I would advise you to use manual allocation/distribution process, as per your business reason (Profit Center Allocation/Cost Center Allocation), rather than changing hierarchy nodes.
You can use 3KE5-Execute Actual Assessment and 4KE5-Execute Actual Distribution from Profit Center 1470/1472 to the profit center under node C1410, without moving profit center from one node to another.

</div>
On the CSS page that is attached to it the code is as follows:
#container {
width: 968 px;
background: FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto:
padding-left: 10px:
padding-right: 10px:
overflow: hidden;
#banner {
background-image: url(images/banner.gif);
height: 100px;
width: 968px;
#main_image {
background-image: url(images/main.jpg);
height: 376px;
width: 968px;
and then I am suppossed to do a box with width of 316 and float left when I do this it floats left and goes down in size but also goes up into the top of my main image why is this happening?

Zabberwan is correct :-)   If the basic css is not written correctly, the page will not display as intended. You are using a colon (:) instead of a semi-coon (;) to close off the style rule... in addition, the #hash tag was missing from the background rule.
This is what your code should look like before proceeding with the next step of the tutorial:

Help with Positioning a div in relation to another div

I'm working on this website - http://soleproductions.com/virgilcardin/index.htm
I want to position the "7 Days a Week" waterdrop image just to the right of "Call Us Today..." text.
Here is my logic....
I created a div called "7daysaweek" and placed it inside the "largeimage" div and set the "largeimage" div to Relative so I could use absolute positioning of the "7daysaweek" div and set 7days div to 0 bottom, 0 right but it remains at the top left corner of the largeimage div. What am I missing?
Here is my HTML
<div id="largeimage">
        <div id="7daysaweek"><img src="../images/7-days-a-week.png" width="114" height="178" alt="7 Days a Week" /></div>
    </div>
Here is my CSS
#largeimage {
    height: 409px;
    width: 900px;
    background-image: url(images/virgil-cardin-truck1-large.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    position: relative;
#7daysaweek {
    height: 178px;
    width: 114px;
    right: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    position: absolute;

Design View isn't reliable. Use Live View or Preview in browsers.
Leading numbers like "7" are not allowed in CSS selector names. The selector name must begin with a letter.
Try this (inline styles used here for expediency):
<div id="waterDrop" style="position:absolute; top:22px; left: 800px"><img src="images/7-days-a-week.png" alt="7 Days a Week" height="178" width="114">

Move the created (and modified) symbol to another div.

Hi,
Let's say i have a container (it's a symbol... sym.container=sym.createChildSymbol("container","containers");)
1. Created a child symbol "object" in one container.
sym.object=sym.container.createChildSymbol("object","containerForObject");
2. Made several changes to it.
What i want to do now, is to
1. Create a new container. sym.container2=sym.createChildSymbol("container2","containers");
2. delete the symbol the "object" was in. sym.container.deleteSymbol().
3. Put the "object" (without creating it again, just moving it) in the, new, sym.container2's "containerForObject".
<out of ideas>
Thanks,
Dario

Hi, Dario-
When you call deleteSymbol, you're actually deleting the entire instance of the symbol. Is there a reason you want to reparent the symbol that way? Another way to handle it is to create the symbol attached to the Stage or a dummy object and then create a link to it using a variable on one symbol or another. That way, you only create the object once but have a reference to it in one symbol or the other.
Hope that helps,
-Elaine

Ical - moving appointments from one ID to another

In an attempt to eliminate my second Apple ID / iCloud account (let's refer to the two accounts as KEEP and LOSE), I exported iCal data from LOSE, and tried importing it to KEEP. I did the import after switching iCal to point to KEEP. The Import populated iCal correctly, but after a moment there was an error message telling me the calendar couldn't be sync'ed with iCloud. I checked iCal Preferences to make sure I was still pointing to KEEP, but it was in fact pointing again to LOSE. So obviously the export file contained some sort of reference to LOSE that the import process had seen.
So how can I do this? I assume I don't have to dive into the .icbu bundle and modify all references to my iCloud account, do I?
Thanks,
Chap

I think you might be confusing default calendars with your user (iCloud) accounts.
    1)    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    2)    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    3)    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    4)    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    5)    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    6)    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.

SSI appears in one page, not another

In the home stretch on my Dreamweaver web page (thanks for
all the help so far), I find that the SSI "call" tag that summons
up the navbar in my index.shtml file does not work in a different
file ("Advising1"). The navbar (in a file called "navigation.html")
is in the same (top) directlry as index.shtml. However, when I put
"Advising1" in the same directory as the index and navigation
files, the navbar appears just fine in Advising1. I thought that
putting "virtual" in the SSI tag allowed the "calling" file to find
the "called" file in any of the folders on the web site, but I
guess I was wrong. So:
How do you correctly write the SSI tag so that a file may
call an SSI file from another folder or directory?
Here is the mockup of the web page: (click on Advising ->
English Advising):

As always, thank you in advance.

> Pretty neat trick. What does it mean?
it's not a trick. it's html code with a WAG Wild A$$ Guess at
the path the
include should have.
this has been complicated because the include contains both a
flash .swf and
the xaramenu crap. My next guess if i would try would be
paths inside the
include file should be site root relative, and there might be
some body tag
trigger for the .js crap.

what that means:
the SSI include for one and two do work. Three and Four don't
work. Since
the site root relative path of test one works, use that:

That the included file doesn't display anything in subfolders
when the ssi
does work is another problem. And it's not my problem. You
tired me out.

Fading between two pages & controlling one MC from another.

Let me see if I can explain this properly. I usually use a motion tween and the alpha channel to fade movie clips in or out. What I am currently trying to do is fade one page out and another in, but it could be one of several MCs. I basically have four "pages" for a website including services, portfolio, about, and contact. I have icons on my navigation bar (which is going to be imported into my XHTML seperately so it can float them according to the users window size). The icons need to navigate between the pages and the pages need to fade in and out (eg. fade in the Services MC when the user clicks on the services icon, and fade out of it and into the Portfolio MC when the user clicks on the portfolio icon). Please keep in mind that the icons and pages are in completely different .fla/.swf files because I couldn't figure out how to float them in Flash after several hours of looking around online, but know I can easily do it using div tags + CSS in XHTML.
If someone could quickly explain how to "gotoandplay" a label in a different .swf file (communicate between the .swf NavBar and my main .swf) as well as fade out of the current MC (whichever page the user is currently on) before fading into new page (according to the icon the user clicks on), I'm sure I could 'fill in the blanks' from the rest of the AS3 and Flash I already know. The page also needs to fade out of whatever page it's currently on when the user clicks on the hide button (located on the page in the main .swf file). There is also several subpages on each page (which shouldn't be a big deal if I can figure the rest of this out).
I'm going to be using this same concept for nearly all of the websites I design & develop in the future and really need to know how to do this for the current site I'm working on. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish these two things.
P.S. Please keep in mind I'm not an advanced user in AS3, but am very computer savy, and have done my share of programming in the past. I looked around for hours online to try and complete this without using the forum, but have come up with links to dead tutorials and short answers left and right. I'm hoping I won't come across the same here.
From what I've read so far I believe I can use tweening in ActionScript instead of a motion tween on the timeline to fade in and out of clips and believe that's the method to use to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'm not looking for a "tutorial created especially for me".... Just perhaps someone that can copy and paste some code from a similar project that they have done so I understand how to do it.
You could have simply put here's a tutorial for how to use TweenLite to crossfade between four pages, and here's one that will let you pass information between two .swf files. If you recently watched the tutorials then it wouldn't take long to find them (maybe you have them bookmarked) and post a couple links.
Anyways, I just found an excellent tutorial on how to crossfade using TweenLite (found here) and an article that explains how to pass information from one .swf to another (here). It took some searching and knowing exactly what I was looking for to find them, but that's a much better answer for someone looking to do those two things than I've found here (or elsewhere for that matter).

Passing value from one jsp to another?

how to pass value from one jsp to another? i have a value assigned in the link, i want to pass that value to another jsp page?
