How to position the check box inside li element to center? - html

Question

I have a list of items with a div content and a span with check box. I want to position my check box span to center of li element.
<li class="e-list e-state-default e-list-check">
<div class="cont-bg">
content here varies
</div>
<span >
<input class="e-lv-check e-checkbox e-js e-input" type="checkbox"/>
</span>
</li>
Content is loaded dynamically so its height and width varies. I couldn't set padding for positioning. Tried on positioning using vertical-align as well. Nothing worked.
.e-list.e-state-default {
background-color: #fff;
border-color: #c8c8c8;
}
.e-list {
border-bottom: 1px solid #c8c8c8;
font-size: 12px;
}
.cont-bg {
font-size: 17px;
height: 100px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 10px;
width: 80%;
display: inline-block;
}
.e-list .e-lv-checkdiv {
float: right;
}
.e-list {
border-bottom: 1px solid #c8c8c8;
font-size: 12px;
}
.e-list {
line-height: normal;
padding: 0 15px;
cursor: pointer;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<ul>
<li class="e-list e-state-default e-list-check">
<div class="cont-bg">
<div class="brooke">
</div>
<div class="listrightdiv">
<span class="templatetext">Brooke</span> <span class="designationstyle">HR Assistant</span>
<div class="aboutstyle">
Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office. Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office. Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span><input class="e-lv-check e-checkbox e-js e-input" type="checkbox" tabindex="" name="null" value="true" /> </span>
</li>
<li class="e-list e-state-default e-list-check">
<div class="cont-bg">
<div class="brooke">
</div>
<div class="listrightdiv">
<span class="templatetext">Brooke</span> <span class="designationstyle">HR Assistant</span>
<div class="aboutstyle">
Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office. Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office. Brooke provides administrative support to the HR office.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span><input class="e-lv-check e-checkbox e-js e-input" type="checkbox" tabindex="" name="null" value="true" /> </span>
</li>
</ul>
Can any one help me?

Answer 1

Why are you mixing <div> and <span>? Having both in span will give you right results right? You can use something like this:
.e-list,
.e-list span {vertical-align: middle; text-align: center;}
<li class="e-list e-state-default e-list-check">
<span class="cont-bg">
content here varies
</span>
<span>
<input class="e-lv-check e-checkbox e-js e-input" type="checkbox"/> This is centered.
</span>
</li>
If for some reason, you cannot change your <div> to <span>, use:
.e-list {vertical-align: middle; text-align: center;}
.e-list div,
.e-list span {vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; display: inline-block;}
<li class="e-list e-state-default e-list-check">
<div class="cont-bg">
content here varies
</div>
<span>
<input class="e-lv-check e-checkbox e-js e-input" type="checkbox"/> This is centered.
</span>
</li>
