How to align content of a div to the bottom

Align text to the bottom of a div
(2 answers)
How can I center text (horizontally and vertically) inside a div block?
(27 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have made this CSS grid. I am still practising using the CSS grid, so I am trying to imitate this site. I would like to place the text the same place as the template I link to.
But how is the correct way to do this? At the moment the link is in the upper left corner.
Should I make another div inside the first div tag, or what is the best way to do it?
Best regards.

Centering in CSS Grid

Closed 6 months ago.
I've look into several questions but I couldn't find any solution that works for me.
What I'm trying to do it to vertical align the content inside the cell but the only thing I can achieve is to center it at the top but not vertically.
My grid:

I need to achieve a grid item to be wider than the grid frame.
However, it seems that this is not possible with a standard way.
Any idea?
.grid {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 200px 200px 200px;
}
.grid-item {
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
}
As you put it, the item is already wider that its grid box. There is no need to add position absolute. For better understanding of what is going on, while working on grid, it is recomended to use firefox since it help you visualize every grid line.
.grid {
display: grid;
background-color: red;
grid-template-columns: 200px 200px 200px;
}
.grid-item1 {

I start learning working with the CSS grid. I am making a grid there is looking like this. I need the item 3 and 4 to align with item 1 horizontally.
The height on all items should give 700px, so that part should fit. I am thinking if I am doing something wrong in the code regarding the rows and columns?
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(11, 1fr);
grid-gap: 1em;
}
.wrapper>div {
background-color: #eee;
padding: 1em;
}
.wrapper>div:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.item1 {
grid-row: 1 / 3;
grid-column: 1/6;
height: 700px;
}
.item2 {
grid-row: 1 / 1;
grid-column: 6/12;
height: 340px;
}
.item3 {
grid-row: 2 / 3;
grid-column: 6/9;
height: 350px;
}
.item4 {
grid-row: 2/3;
grid-column: 9/12;
height: 350px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="item1">
This is item 1
</div>
<div class="item2">
This is item 2
</div>
<div class="item3">
This is item 3
</div>
<div class="item4">
This is item 4
</div>
</div>
A couple of changes should help. Firstly, change the grid-gap on the wrapper from 1em to 10px. This helps with the gap issue with 1em usually being 16px by default. Then just add box-sizing: border-box; to the .wrapper > div.
Here's a working example:
.wrapper {
display:grid;
grid-template-columns:repeat(11,1fr);
grid-gap: 10px;
}
.wrapper > div {
background-color: #eee;
padding: 1em;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.wrapper > div:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.item1 {
grid-row: 1 / 3;
grid-column: 1/6;
height: 700px;
}
.item2 {
grid-row: 1 / 1;
grid-column: 6/12;
height: 340px;
}
.item3 {
grid-row: 2 / 3;
grid-column: 6/9;
height: 350px;
}
.item4 {
grid-row:2/3;
grid-column: 9/12;
height: 350px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="item1">
This is item 1
</div>
<div class="item2">
This is item 2
</div>
<div class="item3">
This is item 3
</div>
<div class="item4">
This is item 4
</div>
</div>
Your problem was the padding:1em on each of the grid elements. This makes them bigger than you expect.
I've amended your example below. I hope this helps :-)
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(11, 1fr);
grid-gap: 1em;
}
.wrapper > div {
background-color: #eee;
padding: 1em;
}
.wrapper > div:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.item1 {
grid-row: 1 / 3;
grid-column: 1/6;
height: 700px;
}
.item2 {
grid-row: 1 / 1;
grid-column: 6/12;
}
.item3 {
grid-row: 2 / 3;
grid-column: 6/9;
}
.item4 {
grid-row: 2/3;
grid-column: 9/12;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="item1">This is item 1</div>
<div class="item2">This is item 2</div>
<div class="item3">This is item 3</div>
<div class="item4">This is item 4</div>

I am trying to create three items inside of a nested grid item. As you can see from the code, I've put the 'panels' div in-between the 'jumbo' and 'content' divs. I also nested three divs inside. In the CSS, I added a nested grid inside of .panels.
I want the 'panels' div to be split in three equally size parts on the vertical axis. Imagine three square blocks stack one after another. But the nested items don't fill the entire 'panels' div. If you run the code snippet, you can see that the panels are nested but don't take up the entire space. They take up a small percentage of their parent. I added background-color: white !important to one of the nested panels to show how small it is.
Another example can be seen here: https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/pen/NqQPBR/
But again, the nested E, F and G items don't expand to fill up the entire D section.
Is there a way to make the three panels fill in their parent?

You have align-items: center applied to the nested grid container (.panels).
With that rule, you override the default align-items: stretch, which would set your grid items to the full height of the parent. Instead, you have the items vertically centered.
So they can be full height, remove align-items: center from the .panels element:
.container > div:not(.panels) {
align-items: center;
}
.container {
display: grid;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
grid-gap: 3px;
grid-template-columns: repeat(10, 1fr);
grid-template-rows: 40px 130px 130px 130px 60px 330px 40px;
}
.header {
grid-column: 1 / -1;
}
.jumbo {
grid-column: 1 / -1;
grid-row: 2 / 5;
}
.panels {
grid-column: 3 / 9;
grid-row: 4 / 6;
z-index: 1;
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
}
.panel1 {
grid-row: 1 / 2;
grid-row: 1;
background-color: white !important;
z-index: 2;
}
.content {
grid-column: 1 / -1;
grid-row: 5 / 7;
}
.footer {
grid-column: 1 / -1;
}
/* Styling */
.container > div {

Then, to vertically center the content of .panels, I would target the content directly:

}

grid-row: 1 / 2;
grid-row: 1;

Keep in mind that there are three structural levels in a grid container:
the container
the item (child of the container)
the content (child of the item)
Grid properties only work between parent and child.
So when you apply grid centering properties on the container, they apply to the item, not the content. To center the content, you need to treat the item as parent and content as child.
There's a more in-depth explanation of these concepts and methods here: Centering in CSS Grid
Well, what you have done is, you created three columns inside the 'panels' div:
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
But you gave the children only a position for the row (twice):
grid-row: 1 / 2;
grid-row: 1;
So if you change 'columns' to 'rows' in '.panels' and clean up the code for '.panel1' it should work like a cham!
Thank you all for your suggestions. I solved the issue by removing the nested 'panel' and simply creating three different panels to fill the same space.

I'm trying to create a simple css grid using the native CSS Grid properties. It works as I wanted, except I want to create a utility class that can center a column in a grid.
Is there a way to create the __centered utility class, so that I can apply it to center columns? I know I could add empty column divs before the column, but I want a cleaner solution.
.l-wrap {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1196px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.l-grid {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 52px;
grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
background-color: orangered;
}
.l-grid--col {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
}
.l-grid--col-1 {
grid-column: auto/span 1;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-2 {
grid-column: auto/span 2;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-3 {
grid-column: auto/span 3;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-4 {
grid-column: auto/span 4;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-5 {
grid-column: auto/span 5;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-6 {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
background-color: lightblue;
}
<div class="l-wrap">
<div class="l-grid l-grid__centered">
<div class="l-grid--col-2">
<p>This should span 2 and be centered.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS Grid provides the justify-items and justify-self properties, which can be used for aligning grid items along the row-axis.
justify-items applies to the grid container. justify-self applies to grid items.
So your utility class can look something like this:
.l-grid__centered {
justify-self: center;
grid-column: 1 / -1;
}
This tells the grid item to center itself on the row in a grid area spanning from the first to last columns. (Negative integer values on grid-column and grid-row start the count from the end side.)
.l-wrap {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1196px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.l-grid {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 52px;
grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
background-color: orangered;
}
.l-grid--col {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
}
.l-grid--col-1 {
grid-column: auto/span 1;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-2 {
grid-column: auto/span 2;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-3 {
grid-column: auto/span 3;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-4 {
grid-column: auto/span 4;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-5 {
grid-column: auto/span 5;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-6 {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid__centered {
justify-self: center;
grid-column: 1 / -1;
}
<div class="l-wrap">
<div class="l-grid l-grid__centered">
<div class="l-grid--col-2">
<p>This should span 2 and be centered.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

NOTE: The utility class is applied to the grid item, not the grid container. Also, this method breaks the 2-column grid area of the original content. The centered content will be able to expand across the entire row.
Alternatively, when working with a six-column grid, to horizontally center a two-column grid area, your utility class can look like this:
.__centered {
grid-column: 3 / span 2;
}
OR
.__centered {
grid-column: 3 / -3;
}
.l-wrap {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1196px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.l-grid {
display: grid;
grid-gap: 52px;
grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
background-color: orangered;
}
.l-grid--col {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
}
.l-grid--col-1 {
grid-column: auto/span 1;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-2 {
grid-column: auto/span 2;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-3 {
grid-column: auto/span 3;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-4 {
grid-column: auto/span 4;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-5 {
grid-column: auto/span 5;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid--col-6 {
grid-column: auto/span 6;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l-grid__centered {
grid-column: 3 / span 2;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="l-wrap">
<div class="l-grid">
<div class="l-grid--col-2 l-grid__centered">
<p>This should span 2 and be centered.</p>
</div>
</div>
