How to check which div is visible while scrolling?

How do I center my div layer?

  • I have an iframe that works perfectly fine. I am trying to layer it on top of my website layout but I can't get it to center and its making me really mad. When I use: <div style="position: absolute; top:110; left:475"><IFRAME name="inline" src="2.html" background-color="000000" width=960 height=590 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97)"></IFRAME></div> It works. The only problem is that in different screen sizes and browsers, it looks off, because it's formatted for my screen. So I want to center align it so that no matter what, it's always centered horizontally, but from the top I still need it to be 110px. Can someone help me? It's driving me nuts!!

  • Answer:

    This will work <style type="text/css"> #container { width: 960px; background: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: left; margin-top:5em; } #mainContent { padding: 0px; } </style> <div id="container"> <div id="mainContent"> <IFRAME name="inline" src="2.html" background-color="000000" width=960 height=590 scrolling=auto style="FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97)"></IFRAME> </div> </div>

margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; you usually want to stay away from pixels when centering unless you wana push it to a corner you could do. position: aboslute; right:0px; to shove it to the right. <div style="position: absolute; top:110; left:475;MARGIN-LEFT:AUTO;MARGIN-RIGHT:A… <IFRAME name="inline" src="2.html" background-color="000000" width=960 height=590 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97)"> </IFRAME> </div>

here is the css to center the div with an absolute positioned element. Everyone else is telling you how to do it with an element without absolute positioning. #iframe_div { position: absolute; width: 960px; height: 590px; top: 110px; left: 50%; /* This will position the div at 50 percent left of the screen. However the starting point will always be at 50% so we need to deduct half of the divs width to make it center to do this divide the width by 2 so 960/2 = 480. Then give it a negative margin on the left by 480px. That should center an absolute positioned div */ margin-left : -480px; } if you don't use css in a separate file than you can style it the way you did it <div style="width: 960px; height: 590px; position: absolute; top: 110px; left: 50%; margin-left: 480px;"><IFRAME name="inline" src="2.html" background-color="000000" width=960 height=590 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 scrolling=auto style="FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97)"></IFRAME></div> Hope that helps

To center a container, you can not use absolute positioning. You can, but tweaking it into position is a waste in time. Just add a width and use: margin: 0 auto; That will center an element with a width. <iframe name="inline" src="2.html" style="display: block; background: #000; width: 960px; height: 590px; margin: 0 auto; overflow: auto; FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97);" frameborder="0"></iframe> If that doesn't work for you, maybe: <div style="width: 960px; height: 590px; margin: 0 auto; overflow: auto;"> <iframe name="inline" src="2.html" style="background: #000; width: 960px; height: 590px; margin: 0; overflow: auto; FILTER: chroma (color=f1dd97);" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> Ron
