3,169 PointsSetting elements to %
Okay so I have set a div to a width of 90%. Inside the div I have set the elements h4 and p to 70%. When the browser is resized the h4 and p fall beneath the image which is fine. However, when they fall beaneath the image the are pinned to the left of the screen and the h4 and p elements are no longer centered because of the %. Is the only way to fix this to use a media query at that browser width and then change some of the declarations? Whats the best way going about this?
Thanks! Below is the code.
/******** CSS ********/
- { border: 1px solid black; } body { margin: 70px 0 0; background: #e1e1dd; color: #8A8A8A; font: normal 62.5%/1.3 "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
div { margin: 0 auto; padding: 25px 0px; width: 90%; border-radius: 5px; background: #FFF; }
h4 { margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #33383D; font-size: 1.8em; width: 70%; float: left; }
p { margin: 0; font-size: 1.5em; width: 70%; float: left; }
img { float: left; margin: 0 25px; }
.group:before, .group:after { content: ""; display: table; } .group:after { clear: both; } .group { *zoom: 1; }
