I am struggling centering content vertically. Here is a screenshot:
I need a float left as there will be more content on the side which you can't see but yeah how can I get this text to vertically be in the center? Also I am not sure if I do need a tag in the tag
.newsletter_text_section {
width: 40%;
float: left;
padding: 15px;
font-size:24px;
padding-right: 0 !important;
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.newsletter_text_section p {
font-size:24px !important;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<!-- newsletter section -->
<div class="newsletter_section">
<div class="newsletter_text_section">
<p>Join Balance and get 20% off your first order</p>
</div>
<div class="newsletter_gif_section">
...
</div>
<div class="newsletter_input_section">
...
</div>
</div>
To solve this, the faster way is to set the same pixel for height and line-height of the element. Like this:
.box{
height : 10vh;
line-height: 10vh
}
Otherwise, you can also display: flex to layout your page, in flex scope, you can use align-item to align element vertically like this :
.box {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
For more detailed information, you can refer to here.
The next method is to adjust padding to your parent element since you are using the percent unit, but I don't recommend this way due to it exist side-effect sometimes.
The above content is what I think so now, hope it can help you.
Add This To The Style Of The Element:
position: absolute;
top: 50%;

Is the property text-align: center; a good way to center an image using CSS?
img {
text-align: center;
}
That will not work as the text-align property applies to block containers, not inline elements, and img is an inline element. See the W3C specification.
Use this instead:
img.center {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div style="border: 1px solid black;">
<img class="center" src ="https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png?v=c78bd457575a">
</div>
That doesn't always work... if it doesn't, try:
img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I came across this post, and it worked for me:
img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}
<div style="border: 1px solid black; position:relative; min-height: 200px">
<img src="https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png?v=c78bd457575a">
</div>
(Vertical and horizontal alignment)
Not recommendad:
Another way of doing it would be centering an enclosing paragraph:
<p style="text-align:center"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300"></p>
Update:
My answer above is correct if you want to start learning HTML/CSS, but it doesn't follow best practices
Actually, the only problem with your code is that the text-align attribute applies to text (yes, images count as text) inside of the tag. You would want to put a span tag around the image and set its style to text-align: center, as so:
span.centerImage {
text-align: center;
}
<span class="centerImage"><img src="http://placehold.it/60/60" /></span>
The image will be centered. In response to your question, it is the easiest and most foolproof way to center images, as long as you remember to apply the rule to the image's containing span (or div).
You can do:
<center><img src="..." /></center>
There are three methods for centering an element that I can suggest:
Using the text-align property
.parent {
text-align: center;
}
<div class="parent">
<img src="https://placehold.it/60/60" />
</div>
Using the margin property
img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<img src="https://placehold.it/60/60" />
Using the position property
img {
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
.parent {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
}
<div class="parent">
<img src="https://placehold.it/60/60" />
</div>
The first and second methods only work if the parent is at least as wide as the image. When the image is wider than its parent, the image will not stay centered!!!
But:
The third method is a good way for that!
Here's an example:
img {
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
.parent {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
}
<div class="parent">
<img src="http://imgsv.imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/normalzoom/af-s_dx_18-140mmf_35-56g_ed_vr/img/sample/img_01.jpg" />
</div>
On the container holding image you can use a CSS 3 Flexbox to perfectly center the image inside, both vertically and horizontally.
Let's assume you have <div class="container"> as the image holder:
Then as CSS you have to use:
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100%;
}
And this will make all your content inside this div perfectly centered.
Only if you need to support ancient versions of Internet Explorer.
The modern approach is to do margin: 0 auto in your CSS.
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/bKRMY/
HTML:
<p>Hello the following image is centered</p>
<p class="pic"><img src="https://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/profile_images/440228301/StackoverflowLogo_reasonably_small.png"/></p>
<p>Did it work?</p>
CSS:
p.pic {
width: 48px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The only issue here is that the width of the paragraph must be the same as the width of the image. If you don't put a width on the paragraph, it will not work, because it will assume 100% and your image will be aligned left, unless of course you use text-align:center.
Try out the fiddle and experiment with it if you like.
img{
display: block;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
If you are using a class with an image then the following will do
class {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
If it is only an image in a specific class that you want to center align then following will do:
class img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The simplest solution I found was to add this to my img-element:
style="display:block;margin:auto;"
It seems I don't need to add "0" before the "auto" as suggested by others. Maybe that is the proper way, but it works well enough for my purposes without the "0" as well. At least on latest Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
Simply change parent align :)
Try this one on parent properties:
text-align:center
You can use text-align: center on the parent and change the img to display: inline-block → it therefore behaves like a text-element and is will be centered if the parent has a width!
img {
display: inline-block
}
To center a non background image depends on whether you want to display the image as an inline (default behavior) or a block element.
Case of inline
If you want to keep the default behavior of the image's display CSS property, you will need to wrap your image inside another block element to which you must set text-align: center;
Case of block
If you want to consider the image as a block element of its own, then text-align property does not make a sens, and you should do this instead:
IMG.display {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
The answer to your question:
Is the property text-align: center; a good way to center an image
using CSS?
Yes and no.
Yes, if the image is the only element inside its wrapper.
No, in case you have other elements inside the image's wrapper because all the children elements which are siblings of the image will inherit the text-align property: and may be you would not like this side effect.

List of inline elements
Centering things
.img-container {
display: flex;
}
img {
margin: auto;
}
this will make the image center in both vertically and horizontally
I would use a div to center align an image. As in:
<div align="center"><img src="your_image_source"/></div>
If you want to set the image as the background, I've got a solution:
.image {
background-image: url(yourimage.jpg);
background-position: center;
}
One more way to scale - display it:
img {
width: 60%; /* Or required size of image. */
margin-left: 20% /* Or scale it to move image. */
margin-right: 20% /* It doesn't matters much if using left and width */
}
Use this to your img CSS:
img {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
Use Grids To Stack images. It is very easy here is the code
.grid {
display:grid;
}
.grid img {
display:block;
margin:0 auto;
}
If your img element is inside a div, which is itself inside another div whose display has been set as flexbox, as in my case here:
(HTML)
<nav class="header">
<div class="image">
<img
src=troll
alt="trollface"
></img>
</div>
<div class="title">
Meme Generator
</div>
<div class="subtitle">
React Course - Project 3
</div>
</nav>
(CSS)
.header{
display: flex;
}
.image{
width: 5%;
height: 100%;
}
.image > img{
width: 100%;
}
You could set your .image div to align itself vertically by doing this:
.image{
width: 5%;
height: 100%;
align-self: center;
}
display: block with margin: 0 didn't work for me, neither wrapping with a text-align: center element.
This is my solution:
img.center {
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(-50%);
left: 50%;
}
translateX is supported by most browsers
I discovered that if I have an image and some text inside a div, then I can use text-align:center to align the text and the image in one swoop.
HTML:
<div class="picture-group">
<h2 class="picture-title">Picture #1</h2>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/99/100/" alt="" class="picture-img" />
<p class="picture-caption">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Temporibus sapiente fuga, quia?</p>
</div>
CSS:
.picture-group {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 25%;
float: left;
height: 300px;
#overflow:scroll;
padding: 5px;
text-align:center;
}

Sometimes we directly add the content and images on the WordPress administrator inside the pages. When we insert the images inside the content and want to align that center. Code is displayed as:
**<p><img src="https://abcxyz.com/demo/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1.jpg" alt=""></p>**
In that case you can add CSS content like this:
article p img{
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
text-align: center;
float: none;
}
Use:
<dev class="col-sm-8" style="text-align: center;"><img src="{{URL('image/car-trouble-with-clipping-path.jpg')}}" ></dev>
I think this is the way to center an image in the Laravel framework.
To center an image with CSS.
img{

If you want to center image to the center both vertically and horizontaly, regardless of screen size, you can try out this code

display: flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items: center;

}
I want to center a DIV within a parent DIV. I have tried using the recommende dsolution on SO -- How to horizontally center a <div> in another <div>?, but its not centering it. The basic layout is this
#revealScoreMobile {
padding: 10px;
display: block;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.stats {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id="revealScoreMobile">
...
<div class="stats" style="">
<div class="score">5.0</div>
(<span class="votesCast">1</span> votes cast)
</div>
</div>
and yet as you can see from the Fiddle -- https://jsfiddle.net/5Lgu0uw3/2/, the child DIV is not centering within the parent, despite the fact I have
text-align:center;
in there. What gives? What else do I need to do to center that DIV within its parent?
I am not completely sure what you want, but if you want the inner DIV NOT have the full width, but only as much as its text contents require, make it an inline-block and erase the widthsetting (or give it a widthsetting less than 100%). inline-blocks are affected by text-align: center
(note that I erased some superfluous settings, but put the ... content into its own DIV, since it otherwise would be on one line with the subsequent inline-block.
#revealScoreMobile {
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.stats {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
background-color: red;
}
<div id="revealScoreMobile">
<div> ... </div>
<div class="stats" style="">
<div class="score">5.0</div>
(<span class="votesCast">1</span> votes cast)
</div>
</div>
As others have suggested in the comments, text-align: center; only applies to text content, not the inner div.
Your CSS applies width: 100%; to .stats which is forcing it to take up the full width of it's parent container #revealScoreMobile, which is also width: 100%;. Secondly it needs display: inline-block; to override the previous display: table-cell; as present in your jsfiddle example.
Replace in your CSS:
.stats {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I have two inline-block elements (one <img> element and one <div> element) and the <div> element is pushing the <img> element downwards like so: image of issue
Here is the relevant code in CSS:
#audio-section #audio-links li img {
width: 46%;
margin-right: 80%;
height: 100%;
margin: 5% 78% 2% 4%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
#audio-section #audio-links li #responsive-audio-text {
display: inline-block;
width: 45%;
margin: 100px 0px 0 400px;
float: right;
}
and HTML (with <img> inside <a> tag):
<section id="audio-section">
<ul id="audio-links">
<li>
<div id="responsive-audio-text">
<h6>AuraPlus[+]</h6>
<p>Mixed by:<br>
Composed by:<br>
Tracks:<br>
</p>
</div>
<img src="http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/t_article_image/chance-the-rapper-coloring-book-cover_gpzfqr.jpg" alt="DO LATERRR">
</li>
</ul>
Also, here is the updated jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/30go7uvz/6/
NOTE: I have researched this and tried vertical-align: top (as this was a common answer to the same issue and several other questions). However, this did not work. Perhaps I used it wrong, or there is another reason for its not working? Additionally, applying position: absolute to the text fixes the issue, but this is not viable due to its showing up over the header upon scrolling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Adjust your margin properties:
#audio-section #audio-links li img {
width: 46%;
height: 100%;
margin: 5% 0 2% 4%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
#audio-section #audio-links li #responsive-audio-text {
display: inline-block;
width: 45%;
margin: 100px 0px 0 0;
float: right;
}
As you have it, the margins are forcing a great deal of space next to the inline-block elements, especially for the div. You've got 400px of margin to the left of it.... meaning they aren't fitting on the same visual row. By correcting the margins, they align as expected.
fiddle update
I have following fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BFSH4/
As you see there are two issues:
The h1 and h2 aren't vertically aligned.
The nav and the content aren't horzontal alligned.
For the 1. I already tried margin and padding. No success...
The second one also isn't that easy the common ways of floating and using inline-block don't work...
What am I doing wrong?
I finally managed floating the header. The problem was that hgroup isn't a block element.
However even it worked after all I think it is better to use a real image for the enterprise name and slogan.
Now only the issue with the horizontal alignment fails.
I don't know why:
http://jsfiddle.net/BFSH4/2/
I can do what I want there is no way that they wan't to be side by side!
Solution for your first problem (found here):
HTML
<div class="header">
<span></span><img src="images/prototype.png" /><hgroup><h1>Prototype</h1><h2>SideBySide</h2></hgroup>
</div>
CSS
.header {
height: 160px;
border: 1px solid #8a2be2;
/* text-align: center; */
}
.header span {
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
}
.header img {
display: inline-block;
height: 160px;
float: left; /* added, so the image will appear left to the text correctly */
}
.header hgroup {
margin: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
}
This solution depends on display: inline-block
Solution for the second problem:
.nav {
width: 229px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
