CENTER ALIGNMENT WITH XHTML MENU

[EFLEX]

I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MY DHTML MENU SYSTEM BE FLEXABLE WITH THE CENTER ALIGNMENT OF THE REST OF THE PAGE.

RIGHT NOW THE PAGE IS SET TO LEFT JUSTIFY. BUT THE CLIENT WANTS TO CENTER THE PAGES CONTENT NOW. I CAN CENTER THE PAGE BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE NAV TO CENTER WITH IT..

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD HELP!!

Welcome to Tek-Tips.

1. You don't need to SHOUT - see faq222-2244 for forum usage guidelines and etiquette

2. Get your page to validate first before trying to fix layout problems - see

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://coloradofootballinsider.com/contactus2.shtml

3. Your menu class has absolute position

sorry about the caps, i wasn't shouting, its called caps lock.

i saw the absolute in the css, but i don't know what to change that to, too have it be flexable with the page, you know what i mean. that's the code i need to change, just can't figure out what to change the absolute from and to... i've tried relitive, etc. but nothing works..

i can run the code through that site, i just took over the site, so i haven't check the code like that yet.

It's not a complete fix - but you can get by with the following 2 changes:

- Change the style for the div with id=menu so that top:10px (instead of 196px).
- Add position:relative to the div that immediately wraps the div with id=menu.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

i struggled following a little bit,
but i got the nav to be center, i just can't get it to show on z-index:100 or just on top.

check it out...

by making the changes i didn't, affect the rest of the site, so i switched the style sheet back.

i will create a test environment.

any ideas off the top of your head to get the nave ontop of the rest of the page, even tho the z index is set to 100?

much thanks.

In Firefox, taking what you have now and simply removing the "left: 1px" rule works for me.

Of course, you'd need to do cross-browser testing on that.
