CSS, Centering an absolute <div> withing a 100% width <div>
- by blackessej
This shouldn't be hard...I have a menu and some content wrapped in a centered, liquid div. The content is positioned absolute. All I want to do is center #content-container. What am I missing here?
#wrapper {
max-width:100%;
min-width:600px;
min-height:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
#header {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
-moz-background-size:auto auto;
background-attachment:scroll;
background-color:transparent;
background-image:url(images/KMIAFS_banner.jpg);
background-position:center top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height:150px;
}
#menu {
margin-top:150px;
clear:left;
float:left;
padding:0;
border-top:6px solid #336699;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#menu ul {
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
position:relative;
left:50%;
text-align:center;
}
#menu ul li {
display:block;
float:left;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
right:50%;
}
#menu ul li a {
display:block;
float:left;
margin:0 1px 0 0;
padding:30px 10px 6px 10px;
background:#336699;
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
}
#menu ul li a:hover {
padding:35px 10px 6px 10px;
}
#menu ul li.active a, #menu ul li.active a:hover {
padding:40px 10px 6px 10px;
}
#content-container {
top:225px;
position:absolute;
margin:0 auto;
width:1000px;
background-color:#fff;
}
#content {
clear:left;
float:left;
width:610px;
padding:20px 0;
margin:0 0 0 30px;
display:inline;
}
#content h2 {
margin:0;
}
#aside {
float:right;
width:290px;
padding:20px 0;
margin:0 20px 0 0;
display:inline;
}
#aside h3 {
margin:0;
}
