Hover not working with text below image in anchor tag html - html

Question

I have this code for making a nav bar. I am trying to add image buttons with text below them. The problem is that the images can be of different sizes and thus they are not centered properly in the output.
Also, the title for all images must come at same level but its not the case.
ul.nav-icon {
list-style: none;
display: block;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
ul.nav-icon li {
float: left;
}
ul.nav-icon a {
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.nav-icon a:hover {
background: #4095A6;
}
ul.nav-icon img {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding-top: 16px;
padding-left: 30px;
}
.img-box {
width: 160px;
height: 138px;
}
h6 {
color: white;
text-align: center;
}
<ul class="nav-icon">
<li>
<a href="#" class="img-box">
<img src="http://imgur.com/Et4vXHk.png">
<h6>Families</h6>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" class="img-box">

Here's a way to deal with your problem: https://github.com/smohadjer/sameHeight
Here's the .js file you'll need to include in your html. It's better if it's an external file. For any confusion, this file can also be found in the link above with both minified/unminified versions.
;(function ($, window, document, undefined) {
'use strict';
var pluginName = 'sameHeight',
defaults = {
oneHeightForAll: false,
useCSSHeight: false
};
//private method
var getHeightOfTallest = function(elms) {
var height = 0;
$.each(elms, function() {
var _h = $(this).outerHeight();
if (_h > height) {
height = _h;
}
});
return height;
};
// The actual plugin constructor
function Plugin(element, options) {
this.$element = $(element);
this.options = $.extend({}, defaults, options);
this.init();
}
// methods
var methods = {
init: function() {
var self = this;
self.index = 0;
self.$elms = self.$element.children();
self.cssProperty = self.options.useCSSHeight ? 'height' : 'min-height';
$(window).on('resize.' + pluginName, function() {
//remove previously set height or min-height
self.$elms.css(self.cssProperty, '');
initSameHeight();
});
//use setTimeout to make sure any code in stack is executed before
//calculating height
setTimeout(function() {
initSameHeight();
}, 0);
function initSameHeight() {
//if there are adjacent elements
if (self.getRow(0).length > 1) {
self.setMinHeight(0);
if (self.options.callback) {
self.options.callback();
}
}
}
},
setMinHeight: function(index){
var self = this;
var row = self.options.oneHeightForAll ? self.$elms : self.getRow(index);
var height = getHeightOfTallest(row);
$.each(row, function() {
$(this).css(self.cssProperty, height);
});
if (!self.options.oneHeightForAll && self.index < self.$elms.length - 1) {
self.setMinHeight(self.index);
}
},
getRow: function(index) {
var self = this;
var row = [];
var $first = self.$elms.eq(index);
var top = $first.position().top;
row.push($first);
self.$elms.slice(index + 1).each(function() {
var $elm = $(this);
if ($elm.position().top === top) {
row.push($elm);
self.index = $elm.index();
} else {
self.index = $elm.index();
return false;
}
});
return row;
},
destroy: function() {
var self = this;
//remove event handlers
$(window).off('resize.' + pluginName);
//remove dom changes
self.$elms.css(self.cssProperty, '');
self.$element.removeData('plugin_' + pluginName);
}
};
// build
$.extend(Plugin.prototype, methods);
// A really lightweight plugin wrapper around the constructor,
// preventing against multiple instantiations
$.fn[pluginName] = function(options) {
this.each(function() {
if(!$.data(this, 'plugin_' + pluginName)) {
$.data(this, 'plugin_' + pluginName, new Plugin(this, options));
}
});
return this;
};
})(jQuery, window, document);
After you include the above .js file, add this script to your current page:
$('.img-box').sameHeight();
This should make all of your boxes with image/text be the same size height wise.
Next in order to make sure the text is always at a certain point within your img-box, add some css inline, or make a class with the css as
h6 {
bottom:10px;
}
The amount of pixels can be anything you'd like it to be. To explain, the text will now always be 10 pixels from the bottom of the img-box.
Either this, or just make the images the background image for the container and set them all to predetermined sizes.
