[code] text-align: "center";[/code] This is apparently incorrect CSS, because it's not centering my text. Doesn't work without quotes either. How do I fix it?

[QUOTE=lavacano;31276557][code] text-align: "center";[/code] This is apparently incorrect CSS, because it's not centering my text. Doesn't work without quotes either. How do I fix it?[/QUOTE] Should be without quotes. [code]text-align: center;[/code]

[del]you know actually never mind, I'll just drop that and stick "align=center" into the span tag. It's part of the footer php include anyway so not too big of a code change.[/del] that didn't work either [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=pdkm931;31276625]Should be without quotes. [code]text-align: center;[/code][/QUOTE][QUOTE=lavacano;31276557]Doesn't work without quotes either.[/QUOTE] [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] So I guess my question is: How do I center-align a <span> tag without using <center>? [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] I guess by changing it into <p>. ehh that works. Thanks anyway guys

text-align only works on block elements, which is why it wasn't working with span.

[QUOTE=garry;31276341]In firefox I liked using firebug to live edit the styles of a webpage. In Chrome with the firebug app it isn't so easy. Can anyone recommend an extension for chrome that lets you edit your stylesheet in plain text and have it update in the browser as you type?[/QUOTE] like this garry [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11275736/s/doitlikethis.png[/img] although I prefer inspecting an element and changing the css on the right

[QUOTE=Crhem van der B;31276512]Pretty sure Chrome can do that by default? Just Inspect element and changed the values to the right, it updates them real-time.[/QUOTE] I don't want to mess around clumsily editing single values. I want to edit the stylesheet itself. So if I do something I like I can copy and paste it into the real stylesheet.

Does anyone know why the entire thing messes up when you re-size the window? [url]http://beeeweee.com/testing/[/url] Don't be too harsh, I'm kinda new to all this. Edit: I mean can you somehow make the resizing not affect the content at all? Like on Facepunch, when I resize the window this reply box changes size, but the avatar stays there. [editline]23rd July 2011[/editline] Ugh I suck at this

[CODE]$('#content_area, .item').css({width: width, height: height}); $('#mask').css({width: mask_width, height: height});[/CODE]

You are the man!

I've got a problem that I haven't found any help to. I have a javascript function that makes a new dom element with document.createElement("canvas"). The function draws stuff on that canvas after it has been created. Now it has to insert that canvas element with the drawing in it to the webpage, right where the function was called. So when my page contains [code]<script>myfunc()</script>[/code] then the canvas it inserted right after the script element. I can't figure out how to insert the canvas to the page. I think that I could use [code]document.write('<canvas id="uniqueid" width="100" height="100"></canvas>')[/code] to put the canvas on the page with the unique generated id and then use document.getElementById("uniqueid") to access that canvas's context to draw on it. Is there a better way?

That'd be your best bet, I think.

I [I]fucking[/I] suck at jquery. Anyway, I would like multiple div(s) to fade in and out at the same location (But [B][U]not[/U][/B] at the same time) when the appropriate link is pressed in the navigation bar. How would I go about doing this?
