[Pro] Vertical Align with CSS?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my late one, been a busy month!

Your example you posted is indeed how i’d like to look.

Within the 2nd query

( http://www.iamwillvincent.co.uk/centeringsite.jpg )

The alignment on all pages on the site is set to center, and i just downloaded the action you mentioned and applied it to the page in top centre and bottom modes, but it didn’t make any difference in either.

The menu items need to be set to fixed in window so that they appear at all times whilst the user can scroll up and down to see the main page content. Setting them to absolute means they go off screen when the user scrolls down to see more work.

Unfortunately your solution to the first problem doesn’t seem applicable to it, I think you might not’ve quite understood it, thank you for your time though.

Any other takers on this problem? Really want to get this sorted!

Will.

I just tried the new action and I’m pleased to report that it works for me!

Note that, as the instructions say, all your items need to be either Layers or Table based. I went through my entire site to make sure that “Layers” was turned on for every item (and had to fix a few things that moved or broke when layers was switched on), then this new action worked perfectly.

For anyone that’s interested, we’ve just put an updated version of the Vertical Align Action on ActionsForge:

I was hoping this would be fixed in 5.4 and was happy to see a new “Vertical Alignment” action. However, just applying this to the page allows it float Vertically— but locks it to the left side of my browser. Anyone know how to get it to float BOTH vertically and horizontally? Maybe this action still doesn’t work with CSS? Or maybe the solution is obvious to you much more knowledgeable people!?

Thanks for any help.

Fantastic Joe,

I will test this out tonight to see if it all works nicely now :)

Sorry, this completely slipped from my radar. It is actually a line in the CSS Menus, change this (it’s the line above the error):

var bodyTag = bodyHTML.match(/<body[\s\w\d()-="']*>/gi);//'"

to this:

var bodyTag = bodyHTML.match(/<body[\s\w\d()-=%"']*>/gi);//'"

The regular expression in the original isn’t looking for a percentage value in the body tag, it is in the second expression.

I hope this helps.

Joe,

How on earth would one go about finding the offending command in the vertical align action as it doesn’t show any errors - only the conflict with the css menu shows up ?

Commenting that line will prevent the Action from working on IE6. If you aren’t concerned about that then go ahead, otherwise, the problem is with the vertical align Action.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I just looked at my older site’s Google Analytics. A small, but not insignificant, percentage of users still appear to use IE6. Go figure.

[Pro] Vertical Align with CSS?

riccc123 — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:26:54 -500

Hello,

I tried using this action to center my page in the browser, but I get a message that an “ACTION HAS JavaScript ERROR…” with a list of my CSS Menu items.

http://actionsforge.com/actions/view/40-vertical-align-action

Right now the top of my page is glued to the top of the Browser. Either I’m not using this Action correctly, or it’s not available with the combination of elements on my page. Will it work if the page has a CSS Menu? I applied Page Actions>Vertical Align to my page and selected “Center”.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to make this action work, or is there another alternative?

The site is up for testing here: http://homepage.mac.com/riccohn/

I tried asking in the Freeway Talk Forum, but I didn’t get a reply. I hope the Actions Forum is a better place for this question. Any help will be appreciated!
