Display an image with a div which can wrap the link - html

Question

I am working on a simple html/css web page.
What I am trying to do is having an image and a div. Both will be inline display and in div I want to put a link. But when I put a long link title it is not what I expect it to be.
My code is this-
code
<div class="heading"> featured posts
</div>
<div class="img_src">
<img style="height:120px;" src="/uploads/1.jpg"></img>
</div>
<div class="link_src">
<a class="inside_link" href="#">Link will go here but if there is a long title then it may create some problems..</a>
</div>
</div>
CSS-
.img_src{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-left:-2%;
}
.link_src{
display: inline-block;
background-color: white;
height: 120px;
line-height: 120px;
width: 61%;
margin-top: 3px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.inside_link{
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
font-size: 15px;
}
.heading{
display: block;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
font-family: "Roboto Condensed","HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
margin-top:5px;
font-color:white;
margin-left:-2%;
margin-right:-2%;
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
height: 40px;
font-style: oblique;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
I searched on google and StackOverflow but I did not get anything useful.
I want it to look like this(DIV wraps full)-
Any suggestion?

You csn use diplay:table-cell instead of inline-block but also I made edit in html by adding div.post that contain the image and title, and remove the inline-style that gave height to the image
<div class="post">
<div class="img_src">
<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/03/22/13/32738A6E00000578-3504412-image-a-6_1458654517341.jpg">
</div>
<div class="link_src">
<a class="inside_link" href="#">Link will go here but if there is a long title then it may create some problems..</a>
</div>
</div>
and in the css I give width:20%; to .img_src and width:80%; to .link_src (you can change the widths as you like) and remove height and line height from them and the diplay:table-cell will handle those height
.post{
font-size:0;
display:table;
width:100%;
}
.img_src{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:top;
width:20%;
}
.img_src img{
width:100%;
}
.link_src{
display: table-cell;
background-color: white;
margin-top: 3px;
text-transform: uppercase;
vertical-align:middle;
width:80%;
}
.inside_link{
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
font-size: 15px;
}
.heading{
display: block;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
font-family: "Roboto Condensed","HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
margin-top:5px;
font-color:white;
margin-left:-2%;
margin-right:-2%;
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
height: 40px;
font-style: oblique;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

You can achieve that by changing the inline-block display to table-cell and then apply the vertical-align:middle; property on the text container.
That way, the text will be perfectly vertically centered if there are one, two, three lines of content.
.parent{
display: table;
border: 5px solid #ccc;
width: 100%;
}
.img_src{
display: table-cell;
}
.link_src{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: white;
width: 61%;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

Ok you are using the wrong approach. Line height is causing you the problem. Your html should look like this
<img class="img_src" style="height:120px;" src="/uploads/1.jpg">
<div class="link_src">
<div class="inner_link_src">
<div class="inner_margin">
Link will go here but if there is a long title then it may create some problems..
</div>
</div>
</div>
and your css like this
.img_src{
float:left
}
.link_src{
float:left;
position:relative;
width: 61%;
text-transform: uppercase;
background-color: white;
vertical-align: top;
display:table;
height:120px;
}
.inner_link_src{
display:table-cell;
width:100%;
height:100%;
vertical-align:middle;
margin-left:10px;
}
.inner_margin{
margin-left:10px;
}
see the jsfiddle it is working great

You just change your CSS and HTML by following and then you get the desired result.
CSS:
.img_src{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-left:-2%;
}
.link_src{
display: inline-block;
background-color: white;
height: 120px;
width: 100%;
margin: 10px 0 10px 3px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 7px 0px 0px 3px rgba(204,204,204,1);
-moz-box-shadow: 7px 0px 0px 3px rgba(204,204,204,1);
box-shadow: 7px 0px 0px 3px rgba(204,204,204,1);
}
.inside_link{
margin: 2%;
display: inline-block;
position:absolute;
padding: 8px;
}
.heading{
display: block;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
font-family: "Roboto Condensed","HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
margin-top:5px;
font-color:white;
margin-left:-2%;
margin-right:-2%;
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
height: 40px;
font-style: oblique;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
HTML:
<div class="heading"> featured posts
</div>
<div class="link_src">
<img style="height:120px;" src="http://smashinghub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Text-Shadow-Box.jpg" />
<a class="inside_link" href="#">Link will go here but if there is a long title then it may create some problems..</a>
</div>

You can simplify your code a lot by using Flexbox.
You can use it for your header as well, to center the title.
.your-header {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
Then the image container. Use it's more semantic and it's a block element, perfect to wrap an image with a caption or a link in your case:
<figure class="your-figure">
<img class="your-image" src="http://pipsum.com/200x150.jpg"></img>
<a class="your-link" href="#">Link will go here but if there is a long title then it may create some problems..</a>
</figure>
and the CSS
.your-figure {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
background-color: #fff;
}
.your-image {
margin-right: 10px;
}
