Help centering background video in fluid grid layout inside div

Hopefully this all makes sense. I am trying to center the background video (the animation on the website towards the bottom)... I have tried all sorts of things to try and center this. If it can't be done, it can't be done. The banner on top works as should. If all else fails I will just not use a fluid grid page and that will be that. I self taught myself Adobe After Effects to make that animation (took me a month and 1/2) and I have self taught myself Dreamweaver.. coming from Frontpage and Expression Web.
Here is the website (thank you in advance for your input):

I just tested it and it's not playing how it should.. I'll figure that out later but where it says "Enter", that is what I need centered. Thanks

Not trying to argue with you and I know you are only trying to help and I know that you know ALOT more about this than I do.. you do... I don't know if background was the correct "place" to call it.. but nevertheless.. what I beleive it is, is in the background.. and maybe that is part of the problem. It is supposed to be called from a JQuery plugin, and where I have it now is in a "div [div2]" in the "gridcontainer". It was working and my latest attempts it was working great.. but wasn't centered. But I've changed a bunch of code around lately and so that is why it is not working right now... The "Enter" that you see on the link I provided is the "poster". When I get a chance I will work on it and get the animation working again.. or back to normal.. just not centered. At first I was thinking "centered vertically".. and so for like a week, maybe longer.. everthing that I was searching for and trying was for "vertically center a div".. then it hit me.. you jacka$$.. you want to horizontally center it... Haha! Again, thank you for your input.

Placing a background image in fluid grid layout

I am having trouble building a fluid grid layout I am not sure why but when I shrink the layout it doesn't seem to work correctly
I need to do 2 things.
1) make the background image shrink as it is suppossd to. when you scale down the images doesn't shirink to tablet size and isn't there for the phone size (although I think I want a new image for phone with just one side of the (page image). on it so I assume I just link that in there under that section in in the css
2)It doesn't seem to want to align the writing so that it is only over the page section of the background image on each side (the rightcontent and left content boxes-ie they should look like text on a page)
also I want to take the page here when it is finished and make it a template for further pages (just changing the text) is that done the same as usual for the fluid grids?
Thank you in advance for the help
Here is the link that the site has been temp posted on for detail editing.
http://approvalsite.info/

Kind of makes sense.
I am not sure how to make the div tag layouts relative to the background image.
please advise.
also, I have been playing with it and it seems to be working better now.
But the issue I have with it now is that the image on the right side of the page keeps showing at the bottom of the page instead of on the top of the page directly next to the wording on the left.
does anyone know why?
I am sure it is just a simple coding issue.

Background Images in Fluid Grid Layouts

How can I get the background image that I assign to a fluid grid layout div to fill up 100% of the grid space and at the same time size the background to the fluid boundaries of the div the same way as if I had placed an image into the div? Currently, the background image lays in the grid at the pixal size of the background picture with only the portion of the background showing commenserate withthe size of the div contents. I use CS6.
Thank you.

In your CSS Styles menu, if you double click on the layout div you are working on or the grid container, you will find that the image will show if you hit the return key. If you create a table bigger than the div tag or grid container, it will automatically resize and you be able to see your image. Thats a couple of cheat ways so you can see your image when you work and when you publish.
It just means you will have several of this code: <p> </p>
The image will only show the width and the height of layout div that you are working in.
I have been able to place one fluid grid layout div tag inside on another, although I find that if I make this a template file, the template tends to break over time. Not sure it that's because I am giving Dreamweaver a headache with multiple fluid grid layout div tags inside each other.
The most I have done: 1st level grid container, 2nd level inside grid container were layout div for spry collapse panel menus, 3rd level inside layout div for spry collapse panel menus were sub menus.
I have tried placing one image in the background of the grid container and then another image over the top in a fluid grid layout div tag. The reason why they move is because of the fixed/scroll option inside the CSS style. I found that when publishing, certain browsers shift both images either up or down. This can be a problem, especially if you create an image with a white box and try to align the second image up inside.
It probably can be done, and I spent months hand coding and playing with the file. IE8 is a problem and I have added extra code which I found online. Firefox tends to move things on Windows platform, but MAC is not as bad. Safari and Chrome tends to work better with fluid grid layouts. There is an option for the early versions of browsers so they can recognise things.
To resize everything when in tablet and mobile, I found tablet grid container/layout div tage size 80-90% and mobile to 40-50% grid container/layout div tage size.
Hope this helps

Background images in fluid grid layouts Dreamweaver CS6

How can I get a background image png or jpg original size 1040w by 840h to scale down in the tablet and mobile layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid layout?

Adding one of these in your CSS should do the trick...
background-size:contain;
or
background-size:cover;
Depending on the layout of your background image, one may work better than the other.

Sliding background banner in fluid grid layout

Hello all...
Hope someone can help me. Kind of new to programming and dream weavers fluid grids. But I've started working on a website and encounted a problem.
How do you implement a sliding background banner in the fluid grid design?
PS: My design looks like this and I plan to use a javascript slider for the banner (don't mind the danish language) :

the logo, menu, headlines and slider navigation is placed on top of the slider.
This is going to fail for several reasons.
#1 FGLayouts resize as do the foreground images inside them. However, menus & headlines don't resize. They stay the same size regardless of viewport unless you invoke your own special CSS media queries to change them.
#2 Background images don't re-size to layout.
#3 To have a slider appear behind your logo, menu and headines, you'll need to layer elements with absolute positioning. And as we all know from multiple discussions on this forum, absolute positioning doesn't work well in Responsive layouts because eventually everything becomes a jumbled mess.
The best advice, keep your slider separate from your site menu and headlines. You'll have fewer problems that way.

Setting overall styles in DW CC fluid grid layout

I have just watched this tutorial on Adobe TV about fluid grid layout in DW CC: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cc/create-fluid-responsive-web-pages-in-dreamw eaver/community#community
This is a great start, but I need to know more!
Where do I set the body text, background, background tile and drop shadows, plus the H1 to H4 and a link attributes? Is it in the <div class="gridContainer clearfix"> or do I do i somewhere else? I saw another video on fluid grid layouts that briefly mentioned using a separate css stylesheet for fonts as 'it was better' but no more detail was given.
Also where can I change the a link attributes in a div if I want different a link styles in that div to the rest of the website? I can't see an area in the properties panel where I can change a link behaviour.
Thanks so much.

Generally, when you are building a website, you want your styles in a separate style sheet (a CSS document). With respect to the tutorial, he details that he is creating a CSS document he calls "style.css" and saves it in the local root folder. I usually place my style sheets in a /css/ folder but, for the purpose of his demonstration, placing it in the root of the defined site in Dreamweaver is just fine.
Now, once he has saved his initial HTML file, Dreamweaver CSS tells him that his document needs two more documents that Dreamweaver will pull in from the Dreamweaver library. One is a JavaScript document, respond.min.js, that handles figuring out what to do on a cell phone, versus a tablet, versus a desktop and the other is "boilerplate.css" that handles fluid grids. If you look at the HTML document, you'll see links to these three files in the root of the defined site.
Now, you'll notice when he's creating the header (id="top") and doing the centering of the logo image, he tells you to select the corect stylesheet, namely "style,css."
Here's the essential problem with the way he's showing you how to do this. You're not actually working in the code. He's demonstrating all of these panels and entry areas for Adobe's Dreamweaver that actually hide the code from you. In fact, he encourages this by switching you from "Split" view to Design (only) view for centering the logo image.
I think this is disingenuous. Everyone here in this forum will tell you, "You need to learn HTML and CSS." And they're absolutely correct. Dreamweaver's fluid grid layout gizmo may not ever define body text, background, background tile, drop shadows or your "h" tags at all. Or, they may be defined, but you are never taken to the code that shows you those definitions.
Open the CSS document that is the basis of the tutorial, which is style.css. In that document, you should see a "body" definition like this:
body {
          background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #000;
          font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
          margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;
In English, this means your background color is white and your text color is black. You're using Lucida Sans Unicode or Lucida Grande as your typeface, defaulting to sans-serif if those are not available. You have a 30-pixel bottom margin, no margins for either top or sides.
If you need to create a background color or tile, you would change the background-color attribute or, if you are tiling a background, you would place the following in the body definition in CSS:
background-image: url("images/tile.jpg");
This assumes you have a file in your /images/ folder in the root of your defined site called tile.jpg. Since you did not include a background-repeat command, your tile will repeat x and y.
And if you don't want a tiled background in your body and do want it in a different div, you simply look for the name of the div in your CSS and put it there.
As to your heading styles, you may find them all ready defined in your CSS document. You may redefine them or create new header styles.
This should get you started. The key is to open the CSS document, "style.css" and see what's there.

DW6 fluid grid layout issue: writes to page instead of css file

Using DW6 (version 12, owned, build 5861) on Windows 7 64 bit.
Following tutorials and the help files to use the fluid grid layout.
Start a blank page on a new site, which inserts the starter div and new css file
Immediately save page, which also generates/saves ancillary files (js and css).
Remove inner div that's created in order to use my own (have also tried leaving the default one in place and using that)
Insert new div, within the "gridContainer clearfix" div.
Place cursor just after that new div, still inside "gridContainer clearfix" and add new "fluid grid layout div tag", new row.
Following same method, do so again.
Dreamweaver adds the generated CSS code to the actual page instead of the expected div, visibly (minified)....and everything breaks. It does *not* add the code into the CSS file from there on and the only way to have it display the div (which does not show any visual indicators since the CSS is basically lost that would do so, is to CTRL-Z to undo the last step. It undoes the CSS showing as the only content in the HTML file, and *does* show a div with the name I'd given it. If I copy/paste that generated CSS into the fluid css file *then* CTRL-Z, it looks the way it's supposed to, with drag handles, visible indentations and so on.
If I then change div widths or position, it does record those changes in the CSS file, so it appears this is only when inserting new divs after the second one that's a problem (third div inside the container is when it starts choking; none overlap).
This is repeatable, on both desktop and laptop, running the same version. I've tried saving after every div insertion, only saving at the start, code view only, split only...
I've tried searching for someone else having this issue and must not be wording the search properly, can't find anyone else seeing this. It's a weird one.
If anyone can point me to something to try so the workaround isn't needed, it would be appreciated.

OK try this workflow.
Create a new FGLayout and SAVE. This will save your CSS file with whichever name you give it.
Switch to Design View. Click on Mobile Display. Build your mobile layout first since this is what everything else is based on.
Insert a few Divs and don't worry about content. Just get the basic Div structure stacked one on top of the other like this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="div1">
          Div 1
     </div>
      <div id="div2">
          Div 2
     </div>
     <div id="div3">
          Div 3
     </div>
      <div id="div4">
          Div 4
     </div>
</div>
Hit Save and name your HTML file.   Do not edit the CSS file. DW will generate the necessary layout code for you.
Switch to Tablet Display.
Grab the right side handles to resize divs and move to row above as desired.
Save often during development.
Switch to Desktop Display and repeat.
Once your layout is built, test media queries by previewing in browsers by resizing viewport
When you are completely satisfied with your responsive layout, begin adding content and use a separate external style sheet for content styles. DO NOT EDIT boilerplate or Layout CSS files as doing so could break your layout.

Making my header background image scaleable using fluid grid layout

I'm sorry I dont really know how to post a link to this site (its not online just on my laptop) But really all I have is a blank screen I just started trying to build this responsive site (the site I was building wasn't responsive so i had to start over so thats where I'm at. I started a new fluid grid layout in dreamweaver cc I use 24 collums at 100%. I deleted the the div (but not the grid container one) . First is that I'm trying to build a header using the fluid grid layout (my laptop screen is 1920 px wide so I use the full screen because I want my site to take up a users full screen). The issue is when I use a image thats 1920 px width for a header background it test great in the browers meaning it scales correct but when I check it out in the smartphone and tablet preview options within dreamweaver cc the image is chop off. How do I get the image and really the rest of the site to scale and resize correctly not just in full screen for my pc but for tablets smartphones and anyones computer? I'm baffled please help? I hope I'm being clear if not I'll try again I need your help thank you

Need help with Fluid Grid Layout and variable column balance.

I'm using the fluid grid layout. I have multiple columns that are actually fluid grid layout columns done by Dreamweaver. I'd like them to extend as high as each other (all to the maximum height of each other) within the same section. An added catch is that in the desktop layout, I have three side by side under one that takes the whole width of the page. On tablet size, it's 2x2 in a square grid. On mobile, they're vertically stacked. I'm trying to get it so that background colour and/or borders looks decent and is fully balanced, no matter which layout is hit with the fluid layout. The columns reflow, no problem. But the height of any background and/or border is variable.
Any help on fixing this?
Example at: https://music2help.thoughtburst.net/
The example doesn't have borders or colours, as it looked silly unbalanced. The music2help.css is the only one I'm modifying manually.
Love the fluid grid layout, but I need a way to make it behave decently with backgrounds/borders. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!

I tried the solution Nancy posted. It altered things, but doesn't seem to do the trick.
Just some quick background. I did HTML from 1994 through about five years ago by hand in vi on *nix systems. I learned HTML through 4.01, and never bothered with XHTML at all. I learned CSS through most of CSS2. The CSS3 and HTML5 stuff is all new to me, but it can't be that hard. I'm not exactly a novice in JS (I've done a fair bit of AJAX programming), but it's not even close to my primary language (I'm a Perl guy).
I'm "stuck on" wanting to use Fluid Grid Layouts. It's billed as one of the selling points of DW CS6, and I really like the concept and results. I just want the results embellished a little, namely with sensible identical heights on grid containers set in the same row, so that you can apply background colours, dropshadows, and borders. That's really all I want to do that it doesn't already do.
I have a test page at: http://music2help.thoughtburst.net/ that you can try with your Quick Columns. I'd be interested to know if you can get it to work.
Here's the catch, though... Resize the browser, shrinking it inwards. (I suggest Firefox, as Chrome only shrinks so far, and you won't get to Mobile width.) As you can see, on a Tablet, one of the columns that should be equal height actually moves up a row and should be equal height with the row that, on a desktop, would take the entire width of the page area. So that's like a 4-up output in printing terms. At Mobile size, the entire thing is vertical, so none of the columns should be resized.
If your product works and can accomodate these conditions, I think I would be interested in spending the $35 it costs.
Let me know? Thanks!
EDIT: Changed URL to be non-SSL. The server has multiple vhosts on it, and I keep forgetting that I don't have a cert on this new one. Sorry about that. You can just add anything to one of the the three middle columns, if you're pulling it down to test.

Fluid Grid Layout - Please help

Hello, I would sure appreciate help asap!
I have made a draft of a website and although I used the Fluid Grid layout I seem to be having issues. Layout is has header/nav, main, rightsidebar and footer. I do realize that I put a table into the header/nav and rightsidebar and will go back and update these soon, but that's not the issue I have right now.
1. Why is it when I view the pages at a 100% zoom in IE, it looks so much smaller than 100% zoom in Chrome. My concern is the MAIN Div on all the pages.
2. Why in Chrome is the rightsidebar going all the way to the right and not staying contained within the gridcontainer?
3. I thought ems were the way to go with fonts, but I can't get a "balance" between IE and Chrome design wise.....also with images?

http://www.1800gotblinds.com/products.php
So frustrated, thanks for any help you can offer!
Donna

If you're going to use ems, you must establish a base font-size, 100% = 16px which is the average default font-size in most browsers. Your content CSS might look something like this:
/**layout**/
body {
font-size: 100%;
.gridContainer {
font-size: 16px;
/**typography**/
h1 {font-size: 3em}
h2 {font-size: 2.25em}
h3 {font-size: 1.75em}
p {font-size: 1em}
Also look at Viewport Sized Fonts

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Fluid Grid Layout Help!!!

Needing help with What a fluid grid layout is, I hear that itll help my webpage be responsive and it will adjust for screen sizes depending on if your on a computer, phone or tablet. Can anyone link me to an Adobe TV tutorial for CS5.5? All I found was CC stuff and upgraded versions.

Sorry but FluidGrids are not part of CS5 or CS5.5. They didn't come on the scene until CS6 (12) & CC (13).
If you're still interested in building responsive web sites without upgrading software, read this first:

To jump start your responsive web project, you can use one of the freely available Responsive Frameworks below: Some people feel these are actually better than FluidGrid Layouts.

Fluid Grid Layout- HTML5 video buttons become gray squares Android

I am attempting to use Fluid Grid layouts for a simple smartphone/tablet acessible video page. I am in Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud (updated). The buttons for play and full screen mode are shown as gray squares on my Android phone. It works fine in other browsers (OS:Windows 7, Chrome, FireFox and IE. I have not tested iOS or iPhones). I spent a day trying variations trying to get it to work properly on the Android and finally built a whole new HTML5 (non Fluid Grid) and it works. But that has issues with formatting, where comes in small and has text not filling the page for Android. I am trying to avoid people having to zoom in and out to see the page. The Fluid Grid brings the page in the way that I want it. My guess is that the Fluid Grid boilerplate or the respond.min.js is causing the conflict. As this is a touchy new venture into Adaptive Design I have left these files alone.
Here is the fluid grid (stripped of formatting) http://www.oha-edu.org/Video/v1.html
Here is the HTML5 video page where the buttons show up. http://www.oha-edu.org/Video/2.html

Fluid Grid Layout Alignment Issue

I'm using Dreamweaver CC Fluid Grid Layout. This is my first time using Dreamweaver, (and first time posting to Adobe Community) so I don't have a ton of experience. Somehow, the whole body of all my pages has been aligned left and I can't find anywhere in the CSS or the HTML of the individual pages that would make it do so. I even tried inserting a body: align: center in the CSS and also in the HTML of each page and it just won't respond. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really REALLY appeciate some help with this because I'm totally at a loss. Below is my CSS and the HTML for my index.html .

FluidGrids are for experienced web designers who already understand the core concepts of HTML, CSS and Advanced CSS Media Queries. Don't bite off more than you can chew for a 1st project. Start with a stable, fixed-width layout. When you become proficient with that, then you can take on more challenges.

How can I convert my web page from a fixed width layout to a fluid grid layout?

I'm taking a web design class (I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, btw) wherein the professor started us out building our websites in a fixed width layout but now I want to change my site into a fluid grid layout. My "site" so far is just one long page, and I've already designed it with fluid grid adjustments in mind (most things are centered in the layout) so it shouldn't need excessive tweaking.
Is there a way to duplicate the site folder that holds my first page, re-open a new document in fluid, then copy the code in and tweak the width parameters for the different layouts?
Did I just answer my own question? Help - I am new at this!!
Thanks all,
KC

A bit off-topic, but Osgood: have you ever used SASS or LESS? When you are building your own grid systems it can save you a tremendous amount of time, and it's a lot of fun.
Take the following simple example - it generates all the 23 css classes automatically for a 12 grid system. And simply changing one variable allows you to create and calculate any number of columns!
//variables
$desktop: 1025px;
$large-columns: 12;
@media only screen and (min-width: $desktop) {
     //regular grid span classes
    @for $i from 1 through $large-columns {
        .span-large-#{$i} {
            width: percentage($i/$large-columns);
     // push classes
    @for $i from 1 through (($large-columns)-1) {
        .push-large-#{$i} {
            margin-left: percentage($i/$large-columns);
No, not explored it yet, and may never....I don't know. I don't really make much money out of web design. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the desire to learn new techniques when the opportunities aren't really there to put them into practice on as regular basis as I would like. I've got a very good handle on css, php, html, jQuery - I'm not sure I want to add another layer at the moment, given I'm never quite sure how long I will continue to 'bang my head against the wall' . I'm getting to the stage where I keep asking myself do I really need the problems associated with learning new stuff to the point of being comfortable with it if the financial rewards at the end don't equate to the efforts of learning it.
I don't really enjoy web development if truth is known. I come from a Graphic Design background which I much prefer but somehow got side tracked and pushed in this direction and there's no way back now, lol. Whilst I concede Web Development is much more exciting its also 100 times more complex/difficult and the skills needed are considerably more.
Your example looks interesting and I should think I could pick it up reasonably easily given I work with php which uses variables on a similar basis.

CSS height property use in Fluid grid layout

Hi, I'm totally new to fluid grid layout and just got started in it. I have a div tag that has 5px height and I sucessfully applied that and seem fine only on Tablet landscape (1024x768) and Small tablet landscape (800x600), nevertheless it isn't even displaying on Mobile portrait (320x480), Mobile landscape (480x320), Small tablet portrait (600x800) and Tablet portrait (768x1024).

* Kroc Camen, and the H5BP dev community and team.
* Detailed information about this CSS: h5bp.com/css
* Dreamweaver modifications:
* 1. Commented out selection highlight
* 2. Removed media queries section (we add our own in a separate file)

I really do appreciate your efforts to help me solve this problem... Thank you in advance

Height is determined by content. I can't think of a single reason to have a div height of 5px because almost nothing will fit inside that small a space without problems.
As to why it doesn't show up in other devices, you must have put that style into the Tablet CSS code instead of the default Mobile CSS code.
Fluid Grids build up from Mobile (applied to everything) with specific rules for Tablets, then Desktops.
Best advice, use Fluid Grids for layout only. Use a separate CSS file for content styles.
Hope this helps,
Nancy O.
