Vertical Align On Drop Down Menu - html

I am trying to vertically align my text in a drop down menu. I have been following the suggestion in Stackoverflow and used display: table-cell and vertical-align: middle but it does not appear to work. It just sticks each text at the top of each drop down cell.
My drop down menu is #results.
The code and CSS is as below.
<div class="container">
<div id="jumbo" class="jumbotron">
<input type="text" value="" placeholder="Search" id="keyword">
<input type="button" id="myBtn" value="Go">
<div id="results">
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12" id="trainstation" style="background-color:blue;width:100%;margin:auto;height:100px;">
</div>
<div class="clearfix visible-lg"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#results {
width:94%;
position:absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color:white;
border:1px solid #c0c0c0;
display:none;
text-align:left;
z-index:10000;
}
#results .item {
padding:3px;
height:50px;
font-family: arial;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
border-bottom:1px solid #c0c0c0;
}
EDIT
Sorry the code above is actually centering everything on ONE line..ie ONE drop down with all the suggestions in that one drop down

Just add display: block and use line-height for horizontal center
CSS
#results {
width:94%;
position:absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color:white;
border:1px solid #c0c0c0;
text-align:left;
z-index:10000;
}
#results .item {
padding:3px;
height:50px;
font-family: arial;
display:block;
vertical-align:bottom;
border-bottom:1px solid #c0c0c0;
line-height: 50px;
}
DEMO HERE

Set the line-height: of your item class to be equal to the height of the div, so something like
#results .item {
padding:3px;
height:50px;
font-family: arial;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
line-height:50px;
border-bottom:1px solid #c0c0c0;
}

I was expecting these divs to display side-by-side b/c the parent divs and child divs are all defined with display:inline-block. How could I update my code to make these UI components display with the same with and height similar to this?:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dhhkcx4dvczyjgx/updated-map-key.png?dl=0
They child divs of MapKeys are display in inline-block..It is just that width you set on MapKeys (width:260px;)that is causing the second child element to break to another line
To illustrate adjust the width of MapKeys to 2600px codepen here
because the parent element has the same width as child items.
#MapKeys
{
text-align:left;
height:600px; /*Increase it so that div can be side by side.*/
width:260px;
}

Why won't my CSS elements center?

I am trying to have my child elements be vertically centered on their parent elements. Something is wrong with my css code but I can't tell what it is:
css:
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3{
width:90%;
height:20%;
margin-right:10px;
border:2px solid #a1a1a1;
padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 5%;
padding-top: 5%;
padding-bottom: 5%;
background:#dddddd;
border-radius:25px;
vertical-align:middle;
margin:4px;
}
.child_div_1{
float:left;
margin-right:5px;
border-radius: 2px;
border:2px solid #a1a1a1;
background:#dddddd;
vertical-align:middle;
}
html:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<div id='parent_div_1'>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_2'>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_3'>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
<div class ='child_div_1'>asd</div>
</div>
link to my JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/wasingej/Y4FA5/
A quick solution is to set
display: table; for #parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3
and
display: table-cell; for .child_div_1
Add display: inline-block to the parent div style.
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3{
...
vertical-align:middle;
display: inline-block;
...
}
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9Y7Cm/5/
Add Display:inline-block; to your css on #parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3:
CSS
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3{
width:90%;
height:20%;
margin-right:10px;
border:2px solid #a1a1a1;
padding-left: 5%;
padding-right: 5%;
padding-top: 5%;
padding-bottom: 5%;
background:#dddddd;
border-radius:25px;
vertical-align:middle;
margin:4px;
display:inline-block; /* ADDED CSS */
}
.child_div_1{
float:left;
margin-right:5px;
border-radius: 2px;
border:2px solid #a1a1a1;
background:#dddddd;
vertical-align:middle;
}

Image over flow fix?

I have two columns; first column goes for image and the second holds detail.
My problem is the image over flows to the next line
Adding overflow:auto; or inline-block; to div.portfolioitems_wrap didn't help me

Further to my comment above: http://jsfiddle.net/hp7dY/
Just the min-height seems to be enough to fix this
It looks like your DIV organization is a little confused, which is adding to your problem. I'm assuming that the portfolioitems_wrap DIV is supposed to enclose both columns. That said, the problem is more that you're fixing the height of each table row, instead of allowing it to be flexible based on the content.
Removing the height:1.5em; entry from allows your elements to fit in the DIV. You might also consider displaying the column elements as inline-block.
div.portfolioitems_wrap{
float: left;
width:100%;
color:#555555;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
// height: 1.5em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
div.portfolioitems_column1{
margin-right: 10px;
display:inline-block;
width:100px;
float:left;
}
div.portfolioitems_column2{
color:#555555;
font-size: 80%;
display:inline-block;
width:300px;
float:left;
}
div.portfolioitems_column1 .thumbnail {
float:left;
border:1px solid #979390;
width:80px;
margin: 0px 10px 5px 10px;
}
div.clear{
clear: both;
}
Here's a working fiddle with some other minor adjustments to make it pretty:

Variable height for multiple columns of div

I want to put 3 div like columns. The one on the left and the one the right have a content and variable length. The one in the middle is a divider.
My CSS is:
html
{
background:url(../img/texture.png) 50% 0 repeat #fff;
}
body
{
font:13px/20px "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;
position:relative;
min-width:960px;
}
html, body
{
height:100%;
}
.main
{
background-color:#f8f8f8;
padding:2px;
border:1.5px solid #000000;
border-radius:1em;
-webkit-border-radius:1em;
-moz-border-radius:1em;
-o-border-radius:1em;
margin:auto;
width:950px;
box-shadow:0 0 20px #585858;
word-wrap:break-word;
}
section#content
{
padding:10px 0px;
overflow:hidden;
}
section#content #text
{
margin:10px 20px 0px;
text-align:center;
}
#text #login
{
width:40%;
margin-left:5%;
margin-right:5%;
float:left;
text-align:left;
}
#text #registration
{
width:40%;
margin-left:5%;
margin-right:5%;
float:right;
text-align:left;
}
#text #divider_ver
{
float:left;
height:100%;
width:1px;
background:#000000;
}
And my JSP:
<body>
<div class="main">
<section id="content">
<div id="testo">
<div id="text">
<div id="login">
...
</div>
<div id="divider_ver"></div>
<div id="registration">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</section>
</div>
</body>
The problem is that the divider won't show up. If I set its height like: min-height:100px; it will, but will have fixed height (100px). I want it to have the height of the taller between the other 2 div, but I can't do it.
http://jsfiddle.net/2mjet/1/
Here:
CSS changes
section#content #text
{
margin:10px 20px 0px;
text-align:center;
overflow: hidden;
}
#text #divider_ver
{
float:left;
padding-bottom: 10000px;
margin-bottom: -10000px;
width:1px;
background:#000000;
}
Simple +padding -margin with overflow:hidden container, but it's nice trick to remember.
