j.smith1981 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I am at the moment having a bash at doing a clients website purely using html, decent professional standard xhtml which ever doc type is preffered, at the moment I am using transitional xhtml, which I believe to be the best solution for what I am wanting to do, am I right in thinking this for a clients photography portfolio site? http://www.hsmedia.co.uk/njhdigital/# What I was also wanting to know, if you look at my CSS which is as follows: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ /* General notes about the colour scheme Purple border colour is: #8c486f Just an average black background as per the business card. */ /* Maybe set a background colour atm? */ .page_container { background-color:#FFFFFF; clear:none; float:none; height:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:900px; } /* This part needs modifying to enchance colour schemes to NJH Digital */ a.nav, a.nav:link, a.nav:visited { display:block; width:150px; height:50px; background:#d586b3; margin-top:2px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#000000; line-height:50px; overflow:hidden; float:left; } a.nav:hover { color:#ffffff; background:#bf6397; } a.nav:active { color:#ffffff; background:#bf6397; } The html is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>NJH Digital</title> <link href="skinstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <!-- Page container, restricts page width not size! --> <div class="page_container"> <!-- Page Menu Bar --> <a class="nav" title="Home" href="#">Home</a> <a class="nav" title="" href="#">About</a> <a class="nav" title="" href="#">Portfolio</a> <a class="nav" title="" href="#">Contact</a> <a class="nav" title="" href="#">Contact</a> </div> </body> </html> Is there anyway I can more centralise the top menu? I mean not using my shoddy old skills in CSS, that frankly where pathetic to be really honest, think the best way to learn is to ask the pro's here, always been able to help me in the past and thought this would be quite good to ask here. Anyone got any tips on this and bumping up my css layout? Any help as usual is greatly appreciated, Jeremy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierdor Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hey actually your page container is centered.. The problem is: The width of one anchor is 150px and you have 5 anchors.. So total width is:150*5=750px; However your page container is 900px..So it doesnt look centered.. Try giving the width of the page container as 750px Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
