I have two div elements which I want to center within an 'li' element. I found out that this could be done by using a flex layout. My parent div has the following properties:
display: -webkit-flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
This works and the two child divs are centering within the 'li'. Those are an image and a text element. But the additional behaviour this has, is not what I want. When the screen is too small for one line text, it is overriding the image. It looks like the following:
The more I shrink the page, the more the image dissappears. Does anybody know how this comes and how I can fix it?
EDIT Currently I am finding out how to add a working code snippet. For now, I have an image with the content structure, maybe this helps a bit.
I fill the image using the following css code:
.img_info_icon_png {
background: url("adapter-images.png") no-repeat -432px -0px;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
}
Although the width is set to '24px', it is changing within the browser.
EDIT The following url is pointing to an example with the same behaviour: https://jsfiddle.net/Lkpxhux0/
As the flex-shrink defaults to 1, it allows for the items to shrink when not fit its parent.
Add flex-shrink: 0 to the .img_info_icon_png rule.
.outer {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.outer .image {
background: url(http://placehold.it/50/f00) no-repeat;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="image"></div>
<div class="text">
This is some text that should not overlap the left aligned image
</div>
</div>

I need to fit an image into a fixed width/height div (say 80%/80%), but I also need the image to be wrapped in another div so that I can place an absolutely positioned element on top of the image (using that wrapper div as the anchor). I have accomplished the first point by just setting the max-height and max-width of the image to 100% so that it will always take up 100% of one dimension and won't exceed the other while maintaining aspect ratio, but I am unable to figure out a way to wrap the image in a div such that there is no extra space in the wrapper. I was under the impression that using display: inline or display: inline-block on the .wrapper div should shrink to the size of it's content (the image in my case), but that does not appear to be the case. When I replace the image with a test div with a defined width and height, the wrapper works as expected, i.e. there is no excess yellow background from the wrapper, it is exactly the same size as the div. How can I achieve the same behavior with the image? I've tried using all sorts of combinations of different display modes (flexbox/inline/block) and various min/max heights/widths but none have worked.
I've put an example of what my HTML looks like now, and what I would like it to look like if I could get this to work below. The .window element is a stand in for whatever the parent of the container is. The .container element is where I'd like to fit the image. In the example with the image, the inline wrapper is still larger than the image (which can be seen by the yellow overflowing on the sides). In the example after that with just a fixed size div (colored green), the wrapped properly shrinks to exactly the size of the div. Can this be accomplished with just css without knowing anything about the size of the image itself?
.window {
height: 400px;
width: 600px;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background: red;
}
.container {
height: 80%;
width: 80%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background: blue;
}
.wrapper {
display: inline;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
background: yellow;
}
img {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
.test {
width: 64px;
height: 128px;
background: green;
}

I have a row of images inside a flexbox with content justified to centre and items aligned to center; ie the content should be vertically and horizontally centred.
All looked great, until I went and wrapped these images in tags to make them clickable. Doing this changes the styling, raising the image by a few pixels and meaning it is no longer vertically centred.
In the images below, I've placed a coloured div behind the images to make them easier to view:
This is how it looks with all the images wrapped in links
This is how it looks with 2 images (UK and France) "unwrapped" from links
As you can see, the UK and French flags it vertically centred when not wrapped in tags, yet the others do not. The only CSS I have for the tags is:
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}
Pretty standard I think? My HTML for an image wrapped in a link is below.
(lang_container_desktop is coloured div, header_links is the flexbox containing the images):
<div class="header_links">
<div class="lang_container_desktop">
<a href="operation.php?op=changelang&lang=nederlands">
<img src="assets/nederland.png" alt="Nederlands" style="width: 2vh; height: 2vh;">
</a>
</div>
</div>
CSS for flexbox:
.header_links {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 1vw;
padding-right: 1vw;
height: 4vh;
width: auto;
}
FYI, yes, the problem still occurs when the image is not sitting in the coloured div :)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
With a nudge in the right direction from #shutupchigo, I experimented with my tag in the stylesheet and it's now working.
I added the same flexbox properties from the flexbox to the tag and everything is now vertically centred as it should be. I've added the CSS code below. Hopefully this solution may help someone in the future!
a {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}
I am building a website from an image given to me to practice (it comes from his employer as a test). I know he mainly used flexbox in the entire site, so im trying to stick with that (havent learned grid at all). On the top of the website is a sort of 'header' that includes some button links, a logo, and a search bar in the middle. The searchbar is located vertically about halfway down the entire header.
I am trying to do that without using a margin hack, but none of the typical align or justify commands seem to work. I also set a height, still nothing. Any thoughts?
Included a height property, also tried various commands like: align-item, align-items, align-self, justify-content, etc.
#searchbar {
height: 100px;
width: 15rem;
flex: 1;
/* margin-top: 15px; */
margin-right: -5px;
text-align: center;
}
I want to move the search bar down to the middle of its parent element, but nothing seems to work.
You need to apply align-self: center to the #searchbar - asyou can see - the display: flex is applied to the parent, then align-self to the div. This centeres it withing the parent. Then you will need to apply that same logic to the contents of the searchbar div itself - in order to center them within it. and adding justify-content: center to center the content horizontally within the parent div as well.
I have applied a yellow background on the parent div, a red border on the searchbar div to demonstrate the relationship and the centering of the inner div and a blue border on the text withon the searchbar div to show its centered..
#wrapper {
height : 200px;
display: flex;
background: yellow
}
#searchbar {
height: 100px;
width: 15rem;
flex: 1;
text-align: center;
align-self: center;
border: solid 1px red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center
}
#searchbar-content {
border: solid 1px blue;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="searchbar">
<span id="searchbar-content">Search bar content goes here</span>
</div>
No matter what I try, I cannot manage to find the proper CSS for the behaviour below:
A: Larger-than-window images show the upper left of the image and allow scrolling to see the rest of it.
(Important: the parent's DIV background is covered, but should be visible on images with transparency — even if you scroll.)
B: Smaller-than-window images are horizontally and vertically centered, the parent DIV covers the whole window.
Thanks for any help!
In order to center the smaller image inside the parent div, you can use display:flex for the parent div. Then set the justify-content and align-items to center. Here is a workaround,
#mydiv {
overflow: auto;
max-width: 500px;
max-height:500px;
}
.mainContainer{
width:500px;
height:500px;
background-color:#000;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-size:cover;
}
Replace the small image with this to check how it works with a large image.
<div class="mainContainer">
<div id='mydiv'>
<img src='https://i1.wp.com/www.rceshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/samples.png?fit=480%2C400' />
</div>
</div>
PS: Change the width and height of the parent div to the required screen size of yours. Hope this will help!
The line-height property turned out to be the base for solving the problem. Not sure if this is a hack, but it works.
.mainContainer {
text-align: center;
}
#mydiv {
line-height: 100vH;
margin: 0;
}
img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
HTML
<div class="parent">
<span class="item">This is the text :D</span>
</div>
SCSS
.parent{
width: 150px;
}
.item{
display: flex; /* other display: flex also declared eg. -ms-, -webkit- etc */
align-items: center;
&::before{
content: '';
display: block;
margin-right: 1em;
background: url('../linkToImg') no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
background-size: 50px 50px;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
}
The above code will add an image in-front of the text and align the text to the middle of the image (Vertically).

On Chrome, Firefox and IE11, the text will wrap and won't overflow the parent container. However on IE10 specifically the text will not wrap at all. I have looked around on stackoverflow and additional places and none of the solutions works. This was one of the questions that asked a similar question.
IE10 Flexbox P element non-wrapping. Another solution I tried was using word-wrap and word-break. Which all did not work. Is there a way to get the text to wrap on IE10?
