Hi,

Just wondering about the <div> code...

How exactly do i use div codes? I think i need a CSS sheet am i right?

I understand it works like a table, And i can change the WxH like this:

<div id="content" style="width: 985; height: 308">test</div>

But how would I Position them and center them etc...

Centering: <div align="center"> ?? (didn't seem to center very well)

And how would I put them side on to each other as a column?

Thanks,
Vaisor

lol dw just wanted to know how to use divs but im gona hold off on it for a while till i get a better web editing program that doesn't feel the need to muck everything up

Read a book or some tutorials on CSS. To center a div you would:

<div id="center"></div>

#center {
margin: 0 auto;
}

aha there we go, thanks man

Using divs is simple, what im gonna write might not be the BEST way to use it, but its how you actually use it.

Inside your html / php ... page





Inside your .css page



What you actualy do is set "variables" inside your style.css and you "call" the "function" inside your html/php and these "variables" will apply.
Not the words to use i guess since i did not learn off the book but by my self but it is what it is, you set a div name, you give them sizes, colors, and you just use it on your page.

Div's are not just like tables. They can be used as is (wouldnt suggest it) but it can be used for many things, first to give a name to a certain element... also to set a size, or a color to this element.. can be used for many things, i personally never see sites without div's... i always use them like i will always use <table...

Properties and selectors I think are the proper terminology.

Stop being so fuckin mean, dude, you seriously piss off... and im serious, you make so dumb comments so times.. it really pisses me off.

a smart comment from Bread :



I guess he actually read what i write before he makes stupid comments :



Dude, im not trying to be mean or hard, but if i dont tell you... you gonna be like it all the time... seriously.. your comments are mean and rude. Try to be nicer to people.

ok..

And is there a way to put them so that the actual div is centered not just the text? and make the text align to the left?

= div aligned to center
= content within div aligned to left

Thanks,

That should center the div.


That should align the text.

I think this best explains how to layout a page using divs

Awesome thanks alot guys



text-align made the text go left but so did the div, even with both of those codes...

This is what i have done:

See now what you should do is :

create a .css file :

name your div and add the info to it like :





See in your css you regrouped the style and the html coding for your font size and color, all that in the same div.

just looking around...im not saying you are wrong...im asking i thought auto doesnt always work...dont know if its on firefox or if its on ie but i thought one of those doesnt recognize the auto code...

About Tom 100% agreed, he thinks he can get away with it because he's an admin and that its just the internet. he wouldnt like it if we visit him and show who's boss would he.

It should work in all modern browsers.
