How to vertical align text over on the middle image, if i have html like this. I want the flow of the text to be always in the middle, even when there are one ore two lines of text.
<div class="area-position">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="image" />
<a class="image-text" href="/link">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr</a>
</div>
I found multiple solutions but non had the image as part of the div.
Should i generate html somehow else?
There are two ways I can think of.
Detach your image from the document flow with CSS.
div.area-position {
position:relative;
}
div.image-text {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}
Or set your image as the background of your div.
div.area-position {
background:url('image.jpg') top left no-repeat;
}
Either way you'll need to specify a width and height for your container.
you can try this code sample
#parent {display: table}
#child {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
This is an old and often forgotten display method but a good way to center align stuff
Hope this helps
Take care and happy coding
On the website that I'm building, some pages the text extends all the way to the edges. I've compared the HTML for ages, and don't see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's in the CSS? Does anyone see what's going on? I tried refreshing my browser and clearing my cache.
Why does p extend to to the edge on only some of my pages? When the HTML looks the same?
<div id="wrapper3">
<div id="portfolio" class="container">
<div class="title">
<h2></h2>
<span class="byline"><!--Integer sit amet pede vel arcu aliquet pretium--></span>
<br>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</div>
</div>
Since you only have a little text, it would look much better with a narrow paragraph, like this :
p {
line-height: 180%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: justify;
width: 600px;
}
You will always have the same width, centered, and the text will be displayed "as in a book"
Try adding some left and right padding like this:
What I used is:
padding: 8em 2em;
Which means, 8em top and bottom padding as well as 2em left and right padding
Since you're using center-aligned text, the visual width is going to vary because some lines are a bit longer or shorter than others depending on the words used in them. If you set p { background: red; } you'll see that the paragraphs do extend to the edges, but the text isn't filling all the available space.
A good workaround is to use padding on the <p> to force space on the edges, but even that won't be foolproof. You can force lines to take up all available space by using text-align: justify;, but shorter lines will align left instead of center.
This is just because the text is centered. Some lines of text break in different places than others, and so the length of a line will differ. Apart from this centered text, I don't see any difference.
Try to resize your browser slowly, and you'll see the margin increasing (or decreasing) until one word jumps to the other line, and the margins are gone.
You could try:
text-align: justify;
text-align-last: center;
This will add slightly smaller or large spaces between words to make the text fill the entire line. The last (shorter) line will be centered, (but not on Safari).

I'm trying to do something semi complicated. I have 4 linked images. when I hover over the image I want the opacity to change to 0.7. I also want a ribbon to become visible when you hover that image. Here's the code I'm using
<div id="tracks-content">
<div class="track enrolled">
<a href=""><div class="ribbon"><img src="ribbon.png"/></div>
<span><img src="images/pic-track1.png" /></span></a>
<h3>Track title 1</h3>
<span>Track description here. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet con sectetuer adipiscing elit.</span>
</div>
<div class="track unavailable">
<a href=""><div class="ribbon"><img src="ribbon.png"/></div>
<span><img src="images/pic-track2.png" /></span></a>
<h3>Track title 2</h3>
<span>Track description here. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet con sectetuer adipiscing elit.</span>
</div>
</div>
So if I hover over the image for say track1.png then I want track1.png to dim to 70% and I want the visibility for ribbon.png to change from hidden to visible. I keep running into a problem where the opacity of the image is also applied to the ribbon. In the image you can see when I hover the 1st image the ribbon appears but is also getting the opacity. see link for image http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/Tearyguitarist/example.png
Here's the css i'm using
#tracks-content .enrolled a:hover > .ribbon{
visiblity:visible;
}
#tracks-content .enrolled a:hover span img{
outline: solid 1px #40a304;
opacity:0.5;
}
Any suggestions? I can't use any position absolutes since the whole page is php driven and could have 1 or 10 tracks so the content has to be dynamic and reuseable.
I cannot recreate the issue, as it seems to work fine in this demo (note: opacity was changed just to make it more obvious). However, a few things to note that might be causing issues.
1) The most likely issue is that it is invalid html to have a div in an a tag (block level element inside an inline), so some browsers may be having issues with that and not functioning correctly.
2) If your css above reflects your true css, then you have misspelled visibility ("visiblity") in setting the ribbon to visible.
3) Have you verified that the ribbon.png itself does not have its own, inherent opacity (since it is a png, it can have opacity in image itself).
Remove your code and try border with some padding instead of using outlineUse below style:
#tracks-content .enrolled a:hover span img{
border: solid 1px #40a304;
padding:1em;
opacity:0.5;
*filter: alpha(opacity=50);
}
I would like to know how to align the image inside the div on the right side?
You can give the surrounding div a
text-align: right
this will leave white space to the left of the image. (= the image will occupy the whole line).
If you want content to be shown to the left hand side of the image, use
float: right
on the image. However, the surrounding div will then need overflow: auto to stretch to the needed height.
<div style="width:300px; text-align:right;">
<img src="someimgage.gif">
</div>
<p>
<img style="float: right; margin: 0px 15px 15px 0px;" src="files/styles/large_hero_desktop_1x/public/headers/Kids%20on%20iPad%20 %202400x880.jpg?itok=PFa-MXyQ" width="100" />
Nunc pulvinar lacus id purus ultrices id sagittis neque convallis. Nunc vel libero orci.
<br style="clear: both;" />
</p>
There are plenty of ways to align with CSS, each one has it's benefits and disadvantages, you could test them all to check which one fits your case better:

TIP: Always search using W3 as extra word, that will give you in first places the resources of the W3school website or the w3.org if there's any relevant.

I know there is a hr (horizontal rule) in html, but I don't believe there is a vr (vertical rule). Am I wrong and if not, why isn't there a vertical rule?
No, there is no vertical rule.
EDIT: It's 2021 (twelve years after I answered this question), and I no longer think my original explanation is true:
(original explanation)
It does not make logical sense to have one. HTML is parsed
sequentially, meaning you lay out your HTML code from top to bottom,
left to right how you want it to appear from top to bottom, left to
right (generally)
A vr tag does not follow that paradigm.
I'm not sure why a VR tag was never introduced, but it's likely not because of the way HTML is parsed - there are many different layout modes in HTML/CSS now that do not follow this "paradigm".
If I were to now speculate as to why there is no VR tag, I might look at MDN's definition of the HR tag as a clue:
The HTML <hr> element represents a thematic break between
paragraph-level elements: for example, a change of scene in a story,
or a shift of topic within a section.
In practice, however, the <hr> tag often ends up used for things other than it's semantic meaning. Although it may seem based on it's real world use that there should be a <vr> tag, it probably would not resemble anything related to the semantic definition of the <hr> tag. It was probably never thought to be introduced.
My hunch is that the creators would suggest that the domain of the solution for this problem lies in CSS, not HTML (and most of the answers to this SO question reflect that).
Nixinova's solution looks like the most elegant and modern solution to this problem.
(The rest of my old answer follows below):
This is easy to do using CSS, however. Ex:
<div style="border-left:1px solid #000;height:500px"></div>
Note that you need to specify a height or fill the container with content.
You can make a vertical rule like this: <hr style="width: 1px; height: 20px; display: inline-block;">
An <hr> inside a display:flex will make it display vertically.
JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/w6y5t1kL/
Example:
<div style="display:flex;">
<div>
Content
<ul>
<li>Continued content...</li>
</ul>
</div>
<hr>
<div>
Content
<ul>
<li>Continued content...</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
As pointed out by others, the concept of a vertical rule does not fit in with the original ideas behind the structure and presentation of HTML documents. However, these days (especially with the proliferation of web-apps) there are is a small number of scenarios where this would indeed be useful.
For example, consider a horizontal navigation menu fixed at the top of the screen, similar to the menu-bar in most windowed GUI applications. You have several top-level menu items arranged from left-to-right which when clicked open up drop-down menus. Years ago, it was common practice to create this with a single-row table, but this is bad HTML and it is widely recognised that the correct way to go would be a list with heavily customised CSS.
Now, say you want to group similar items, but add a vertical separator in between groups, to achieve something like this:
[Item 1a] [Item 1b] | [Item 2a] [Item 2b]
Using <hr style="width: 1px; height: 100%; ..." /> works, but may be considered semantically incorrect as you are changing what that element is actually for. Furthermore, you can't use this within certain elements where the HTML DTD allows only inline-level elements (e.g. within a <span> element).
A better option would be <span style="display: inline-block; width:1px; height:100%; background:#000; margin: 0 2px;"></span>, however not all browsers support the display: inline-block; CSS property, so the only real inline-level option is to use an image like so:
<img src="pixel.gif" alt="|" style="width:1px; height:100%; background:#000; margin: 0 2px;" />
This has the added advantage of being compatible with text-only browsers (like lynx) as the pipe character is displayed instead of the image. (It still annoys me that M$IE incorrectly uses alt text as a tooltip; that's what the title attribute is for!)
<style type="text/css">
.vr
{
display:inline;
height:100%;
width:1px;
border:1px inset;
margin:5px
}
</style>
<div style="font-size:50px">Vertical Rule: →<div class="vr"></div>←</div>
Try it out.
How about:
writing-mode:tb-rl
Where top->bottom, right->left?
We will need vertical rule for this.
I know I am adding my answer very late, but it would be worth I am sure. You can achieve vertical line using flex and hr
See my codepen here.
There isn't, where would it go?
Use CSS to put a border-right on an element if you want something like that.
Ancient question but I solved this with display:flex; and it works great:
<div style="display:flex;border:1px dotted black;margin-bottom:20px;">
<div>
This is a div
</div>
<div style="border-left:1px solid black;margin:0 7.5px;"></div>
<div>
This is another div
</div>
</div>

This solution also doesn't require fixed height.
Try this.
You can set height and width on "div", like the scope for "hr".
The margin of "hr" is used to alignment.
<div style="display: inline-flex; width: 25px; height: 100px;">
<hr style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 12.5px;">
</div>
HTML has little to no vertical positioning due to typographic nature of content layout. Vertical Rule just doesn't fit its semantics.
Try it and you will know yourself:
<body>
rokon<br />
rkn <hr style="width: 1px; height: 10px; display: inline; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 2px;" />rockon<br />
rocks
</body>
</html>
you can do in 2 way :
create style as you already gave in div but change border-left to border-right
take a image and make its width 1-2 px
You can very easily do this by
hr{
transform: rotate(90deg);
}
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Be careful about the height and width of hr
In the context of a list item being used as navigation a <vr /> tag would be perfectly useful. The reason it does not exist is because "It does not make logical sense to have one" in the context of HTML a decade ago.
For use in HTML email for most desktop clients you have to use tables. In this case, you can use <hr> tag, with necessary (but simple) inline styling, like:
<hr width="1" size="50">
Of course that styling with CSS is more flexible, but GMail and similar don't allow using of any CSS styling other than inline...
You can use css for simulate a vertical line, and use the class on the div
.vhLine {
border-left: thick solid #000000;
}
You could create a custom tag as such:
<html>
<head>
<style>
vr {
display: inline-block;
// This is where you'd set the ruler color
background-color: black;
// This is where you'd set the ruler width
width: 2px;
//this is where you'd set the spacing between the ruler and surrounding text
margin: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
this is text <vr></vr> more text
</body>
</html>
(If anyone knows a way that I could turn this into an "open-ended" tag, like <hr> let me know and I will edit it in)
There is no tag in HTML, but you can use |.
You could use the new HTML5 SVG tag:
<svg style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;">
<line id="myVerticalLine" y1="0" y2="100" x1="0" x2="0">
</line>
</svg>
I find it easy to make an image of a line, and then insert it into the code as a "rule", setting the width and/or height as needed. These have all been horizontal-rule images, but there's nothing stopping me (or you) from using a "vertical-rule" image.
This is cool for many reasons; you can use different lines, colors, or patterns easily as "rules", and since they would have no text, even if you had done it the "normal" way using hr in HTML, it shouldn't impact SEO or other stuff like that. And the image file would/should be very tiny (1 or 2KB at most).
Too many overly-complicated answers. Just make a TableData tag that spans how many rows you want it to using rowspan. Then use the right-border for the actual bar.
Example:
<td rowspan="5" style="border-right-color: #000000; border-right-width: thin; border-right-style: solid"> </td>
<td rowspan="5"> </td>
Ensure that the " " in the second line runs the same amount of lines as the first. so that there's proper spacing between both.
This technique has served me rather well with my time in HTML5.
Today is possible with CSS3
hr {
background-color:black;
color:black;
-webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
position:absolute;
width:100px;
height:2px;
left:100px;
}
For people who're trying to make columns for text, there's a column-rule property which you should consider using!
.content{
margin: 20px 5%;
padding: 5px;
}
.content p{
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-count:3;
-o-column-count:3;
column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-rule: 1px solid #ccc;
-moz-column-rule: 1px solid #ccc;
-o-column-rule: 1px solid #ccc;
column-rule: 1px solid #ccc;
text-align: justify;
}
<div class="content">

Easily can be done using a div like this
HTML5 custom elements (or pure CSS)
1. javascript
Register your element.
var vr = document.registerElement('v-r'); // vertical rule please, yes!
*The - is mandatory in all custom elements.
2. css
v-r {
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
/*display: inline-block;*/
/*margin: 0 auto;*/
}
*You might need to fiddle a bit with display:inline-block|inline because inline won't expand to containing element's height. Use the margin to center the line within a container.
3. instantiate
js: document.body.appendChild(new vr());
or
HTML: <v-r></v-r>
*Unfortunately you can't create custom self-closing tags.
usage
<h1>THIS<v-r></v-r>WORKS</h1>
example: http://html5.qry.me/vertical-rule
Don't want to mess with javascript?
Simply apply this CSS class to your designated element.
css
.vr {
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
/*display: inline-block;*/
/*margin: 0 auto;*/
}
*See notes above.
link to original answer on SO.
No there is not. And I will tell you a little story on why it is not. But first,
quick solutions:
a) Use CSS class for basic elements span/div, e.g.: <span class="vr"></span>:
.vr{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
/* note that height must be precise, 100% does not work in some major browsers */
height: 100px;
width: 1px;
background-color: #000;
}
Demonstration of use => https://jsfiddle.net/fe3tasa0/
b) Make a use of a one-side-only border and possibly CSS :first-child selector if you want to apply a general dividers among sibling/neigbour elements.
The story about <vr> FITTING in the original paradigm,but still not being there:
Many answers here suggest, that vertical divider does not fit the original HTML paradigm/approach ... that is completely wrong. Also the answers contradict themselves a lot.
Those same people are probably calling their clear CSS class "clearfix" - there is nothing to fix about floating, you are just clearing it ... There was even an element in HTML3: <clear>. Sadly, this and clearance of floating is one of the few common misconceptions.
Anyway. "Back then" in the "original HTML ages", there was no thought about something like inline-block, there were just blocks, inlines and tables.
The last one is actually the reason why <vr> does not exist.
Back then it was assumed that:
If you want to verticaly divide something and/or make more blocks from left to right =>
=> you are making/want to make columns =>
=> that implies you are creating a table =>
=> tables have natural borders between their cells => no reason to make a <vr>
This approach is actually still valid, but as time showed, the syntax made for tables is not suitable for every case as well as it's default styles.
Another, probably later, assumption was that if you are not creating table, you are probably floating block elements. That meaning they are sticking together, and again, you can set a border, and those days probably even use the :first-child selector I suggested above...
There is not.
Why? Probably because a table with two columns will do.
