What does vertical-align in CSS do?

Hi
I thought it meant that any text in the DIV would be, for
example, lined up down the bottom of the DIV if the vertical-align
was set to baseline. But that doesn't seem to be the case. So what
does vertical-align control in CSS?
Cheers

Basic questions about word spacing and vertical alignment with CSS

I'm sill very new to Dreamweaver and web page designing. I've
read the entire manual SC3, one book, and starting another but I
have almost 0 practice.
Q1. so far I haven't been able to produce the effect of the
Word Spacing property. I tried all kinds of tests and I don't know
in what scenario this effect will show. Can someone give me a
simple example that shows the effect of this CSS property.
Q2. Vertical Alignment: this works well with images inserted
into text but I also expected this to work with text against other
text. For example I typed TEST© and assigned a different SCC
style to the © so that I can make it smaller and put it up
with the Vertical Alignment property. Surprisingly this propery
didn't produce any effect. How is htis suppose to be done?

> This is some text. This is some text.
You forgot to wrap your text in <p> tags so the style
rule you created
doesn't apply.

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.

What does disk2s2: alignment error mean?

I just got a Western Digital My Book. It was a warranty exchange. Its 4TB and came PC formatted. I reformatted for Mac.... In disk utility, selected partition, 1 partition, guild format, and applied. In console though, it gave me a disk2s2: alignment error. What does this mean?

Hello graphicgirl44,
It sounds like you are getting an error from a partition on your replacement hard drive. There can be a few things that could cause that error, so I would use the Disk Utility to attempt to repair this external drive:
Repair disk formatting information
In the list at the left, select the disk you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s at the far left, and not one indented to the right.)
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Disk Utility examines your disk’s formatting information for errors and corrects any it finds.
If Disk Utility can’t repair the disk’s formatting information, back up as much of your data as possible, partition it, reinstall OS X, then restore your backed-up data.
Partition a disk
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Can table cell vertical alignment be defined via CSS?

In a table cell (ie, "td") is there a way to define "valign" via CSS, instead of the table cell proper?
In other words, instead of...
<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
...is it possible to do :
<table>
<tr>
<td class="top">
...and somehow let the stylesheet define the vertical alignment?
I'm asking because none of the attribute presets in Dreamweaver CS4 seem to provide for vertical alignment. Everything else on God's green earth seems to be there, but table cell vertical alignment seems to be the ONLY thing CSS forgot about.

How about giving the class "top": text-align:center. Or even the tag "td" in your stylesheet. Does that help?

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

appreciated..
In Dreamweaver the text is middle aligned, it just doesnt
work in IE7

You have this on the page:
<td height="79"
<valign="top">
try changing it to thos:
<td height="79" valign="top">

<option selected="selected">Select Card
Type</option>
option selected>Search By Card Type
</option>
make it like this:

Vertical-align problem in css?

Hi everyone
This is my id selector code within the css file of my air app which i'm using in a div:

    border-width:1px;
    height:100%;
    width:15%;
    float:left;
    vertical-align:baseline;

Does Safari have a css property to emulate IE's disabled vertical scrollbar

Hi,
Does Safari have a css property to force the always-on disabled Internet- Explorer-type scroll bar like Firefox has? The site design needs to plan for the scroll bar width anyway, and I don't want the screen jumping left and right when the scroll bar activates and deactivates. I also don't want to use the active scroll bar by setting lengths to height plus one.
Thanks!
Thanks!

This isn't about the css standard. I agree that IE is a huge impediment to progress on the Internet as a whole. Having scroll bars showing by default or not is a browser design choice.
Firefox and Safari have initially chosen to hide them by default, and have them visible only when content exceeds page length. I used to think that was the "right" way. I, and many others, now realize that IE has it right. The advantage is the page doesn't jump around depending on content. The designer must compensate for the possibility of a scroll bar in the design anyway. Firefox has recognized the validity and widespread support for this position and has since incorporated a proprietary css property to render the disabled scroll bar. They separate their properties by prefixing them with moz to circumvent conflicts with what may become a W3C standard property in the future. My question is whether or not Safari has any means available to web developers that enable them to display an inactive scroll bar yet.
Thanks!

What does it mean when there pink vertical lines on the start up screen?

What does it mean when there are pink vertical lines on the start up screen on an IMac ?

It means you have a hardware problem. That could be the screen itself or the graphics system, GPU.

What does " " do in CSS? :-/

In this example :
html>body #wrap {
height:100%; /* 100 % height */
What does html>body do? I've never seen this syntax
before. :-S

Yes, thanks, Thierry. I intended to point that out, and then
forgot.

HT204266 There are two vertical lines on my ipod screeen for last 3/4 days..these lines have been increasing slowly..What does this indicate?Any remedies?

There are two vertical lines on my ipod screeen for last 3/4 days..these lines have been increasing slowly..What does this indicate?Any remedies?

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Keynote on Ipad warning: custom and mixed lists may look different... bulleted list have bullet vertical alignment "issues" any fixes?

Help.
I am working on a high-end Keynote presentation. It was originally a poerpoint file, that I opened in keynote. So far so good. I applied keynote themes, and used bullets etc, looks great on the mac. Move it to the ipad, and the top bullet looks fine, all 1st level bullets below it have a higher vertical alignment, which no longer in alignment with the text. What am I doing to cause this? all spacing etc, is exactly the same.
anybody know a tip or trick to keep this from happening?

I answered my own question... with many, many tests.
I FINALLY figured out what the common feature was, that was causing the misalignment of the bullets.
Line spacing.
If you apply line spacing BEFORE a paragraph, it misaligns the bullets... which is WHY it wasn't happening to the 1st bullet in each text box, but only those following....
In the final test I changed the line spacing attribute to AFTER a paragraph, and VOILA! no more misaligned bullets.
It's definitely a bug in the software, since either way it looks fine on the mac, and is only a problem on the iPad.
hope that saves someone else some valuable time!!!

Vertical alignment in a cell and IE

In this page www.gk-developers.com, on IE, the navigation
menu is showing up midway along the page when it should be right at
the top. The table cell has the vertical align instruction but IE
seems to ignore it. What gives?
