I am trying to include an image and some text inside a button element. My code is as follows:
<button class="testButton1"><img src="Car Blue.png" alt="">Car</button>
The CSS is:
.testButton1
{
font-size:100%;
height:10%;
width: 25%
}
.testButton1 img
{
height:80%;
vertical-align:middle;
}
What I would like to do is to position the image to the left edge of the button, and position the text either in the center or to the right. Using   works, but is perhaps a bit crude. I have tried to surround the image and text with spans or divs and then positioning those, but that seems to mess things up.
What appears to be happening is that anything inside the button tag (unless formatted) is positioned as one unit in the center of a wider button (not noticeable if button width is left to auto adjust as both items are side-by-side.
Any help, as always, is appreciated. Thank you.
Background Image Approach
You can use a background image and have full control over the image positioning.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/EFsU8/
BUTTON {
padding: 8px 8px 8px 32px;
font-family: Arial, Verdana;
background: #f0f0f0 url([url or base 64 data]);
background-position: 8px 8px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
A slightly "prettier" example: http://jsfiddle.net/kLXaj/1/
And another example showing adjustments to the button based on the :hover and :active states.
Child Element Approach
The previous example would work with an INPUT[type="button"] as well as BUTTON. The BUTTON tag is allowed to contain markup and is intended for situations which require greater flexibility. After re-reading the original question, here are several more examples: http://jsfiddle.net/kLXaj/5/
This approach automatically repositions image/text based on the size of the button and provides more control over the internal layout of the button.
Change button display style to inline-block, img float to left. Add margin to img as necessary.
<button style="display:inline-block">
<img src="url" style="float:left;margin-right:0.5em">Caption
</button>
If you want to use image inside the button not in the CSS I think this help you:

Adding float left to the image works to an extent. A judicious use of padding and image sizing fixes the issue with having the text stuck to the top of the button. See this jsFiddle.

I have created a div class container but when I type in the text it appears in the middle of the container. How can I align the text to the top left corner of the container?
By the way I have used position: relative, top 0px left 0px.
However, this moves it to the the corner of the browser page, not the corner of the container.
There are many ways the text gets align into the center , you might have used the tag , or your container is forcefully moved in the center , the proper way of moving container to the middle is margin:0 auto; . You must give the html and css code your are using .
You might have used a text-align: center; can't really tell since you have not provided us with the necessary information to help you.
If it is a submit button in a form, and you inputted the text in the value="" it will automaticly center your text, the same goes for the tag called button between the tags.
Please make a codepen press the pen button, and copy the related code, and give us the link to your pen.
When you are using position absolute in your box, you need something to put it in relative to. So add a position relative to your box, and a position absolute to your text.
However I would suggest you to use line-height: "height of your box"px; and padding-left: 5px for an example to align your text in the box, if it is a button. Remember to use box-sizing: border-box; that allows you to use padding without expanding the box.
the align of the text can be changed using
margin-left:-1%;
margin-top:-1%;
float: left;
<div class="container text-center"> </div>
İ have this button, and i want to but an image at the left, and it should have a text
which i could position as i want inside the button. i tried a few ways but i couldn't position
the text and image the way i wanted.
<button class ="buttn"> Click Here <img src ="./logo.png"> </button>
.buttn{
background:transparent url(/logo.png) no-repeat left;
border:0;
padding-left: xxxpx; // this is how wide the image is plus any additional padding
}
<button class="buttn">Click Here</button>
The path should be replaced with the correct one.
Basically, set the image as the background, remove any default button styling and then play with the padding until you position the text as expected.
Multiples:
.buttn{
background-image:url(/logo.png), url(/gradient.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat, repeat-x;
background-position:center left, center left;
}
You don't need to use an image for the gradient, by the way. Just showing that you can have more than one background.
Ive never put an image in a button. I'm guessing it doesn't show that. In which case wrap the button in a div with float left (or same demensons as button) and position relative. Position the image with absolute positioning where you want it. Use padding in the button to push the text which ever way you want it to go. If padding doesn't work then wrap the text in span and AP it to.

I want to display images in a 144px x 144px div element.
Images are always larger than 144px and so I want to zoom scale them. By that I mean that the smallest side will touch the edge of the div, cutting a bit from the other side - the opposite of letterbox.
How can I do this and have it work on older browsers like IE as well?
EDIT:
Changed the image, the first was wrong, sorry.
Resize the image so that inside the div there is no space without image
My first answer addressed intentionally blocking out the part of the image while intentionally keeping the space occupied. If you just want part of the image visible with no space or anything else taken up, the best option will be to use CSS Sprite techniques.
Here's an example:
HTML (copy and paste into your own file for a full test):
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.clippedImg {
background-image: url("http://www.grinderschool.com/images/top_main.jpg");
background-position: -75px -55px;
height: 100px;
width: 235px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class='clippedImg'> </div>
</body>
</html>
CSS (this is really the key):
.clippedImg {
background-image: url("http://www.grinderschool.com/images/top_main.jpg");
background-position: -75px -55px;
}
You can adjust the position numbers to get exactly the portion and size of the image that you want.
Note also that if you want a black box around this, it's even easier than the other post I made. Just put a parent div around this one:
<div class='blackBox'>
<div class='clippedImg'> </div>
<div>
With a padding and width set to create the black-box effect you want:
.blackBox {
background-color: black;
padding: 0 20px;
width: 235px;
}
Set only the width of the image to 144px in CSS or in the attribute. The height will scale automatically. I'm fairly certain this works as low as IE 6. I'm not certain about anything older than that.
If I read your question right, you aren't trying to resize the image, but rather to actually cut off part of the image. If you just want to resize the image, then follow the other answers about that.
The simplest way I can think of to actually cut off the image this is to add <div class='blockOut'> </div> and then use CSS to place & size the div, make it's color match the background color of your page, and put it in front of the image. Example CSS:
.blockOut {
position: relative;
top: -100px;
left: 100px;
background-color: white;
z-index: 2; //this is the important part for putting this div in front of the other one
}
Edit: Note that since you added an example showing that you want all sides blacked out, this would require separate divs for blacking out the top, each side, and the bottom. Also, if you want part of the image to show through (as it does in your example) you can use CSS transparency options.
div{height:114px;width:114px;overflow:hidden;}
div img{position:relative;left:-100px /*or whatever you want. can change it with js*/;top:-100px;}
that is masking to only show a part of the img, as you say in the title. but in the description says you want to resize the img. decide yuorself
to do what you want with css, you should use max-height:144px;max-width:144px. but ie6 doesn't implements those simple properties, so you'll have to use js
I am trying to use CSS and HTML to insert an image into a webpage.
I have the following on CSS:
#eDTP {
background-image: url(eDTP.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
padding-top:475px;
}
and in my HTML, I have:
<div id="maintext">
<p> my page </p>
</div>
<div id="eDTP"></div>
Although this works, I have a big white space on the top and bottom of the images, which I do not want. I tried adjusting the padding values, but that does not seem to really help.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get rid of these white spaces?
I would remove the padding top. That should eliminate the problem. I'm not sure why you would need such a high amount of padding between them.
EDIT - Just read that you say the padding hasn't helped you. Any chance of a link to the url? Or a live example somewhere to see the issue in more detail?
Make sure that the line-height of the figure or surrounding element is set to line-height:1;
The only size that you have specified is the padding. The size of a background image doesn't affect the size of the element. You should remove the padding, and specify width and height for the element so that it's the same size as the image.
Unfortenately there is no way to do that in HTML/CSS. Only way of doing this is inserting the values on your server or client-side by javascript. You should really do it with <img> tags inside your <div> element like so.
Make sure you point to the right location of the image you want to show relevent to folder where it is being called.

Here you try to show an image as a background for a div. Is there really strong reason not to use html like above?
<div id="maintext">
<p> my page </p>
</div>
<div id="eDTP">
<img src="eDTP.png">
</div>
If so, you need to specify the dimentions of your di, 'cause it doesn't auto fit the background size (no surprise here, I think).
Try
#eDTP {
background-image: url(eDTP.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
width: 120px; //background image width here
height: 150px; // and height here
}
Your biggest problem is width and height. Also, how do you want this image displayed? Do you want it below the text, on the side of the text, etc? In modern browsers, a div is fully collapsed, and its height is equal to 0. Its width, by default, is 100%. IE7 and older does not work this way for the height.
You need to specify, not padding, but width and height for your div container, eDTP, that is, if you wish to have the background image added via CSS. If you wish to have an image populate eDTP using the img tag, then you do not have to specify the height.
By the way, the reason you see your image with the padding is based on something called the box model. Padding extends the visible region of background color, a background image, and others. The padding you have is functioning like you have a height assigned to its container. But as I said before, this is a very bad way to do this. Add this to your eDTP declaration:
#eDTP {
background: url(eDTP.png) no-repeat center;
width:500px; /* Change this value to the width of your image */
height:475px;/* I assume this is the height of your image */
}
