I'm using the CSS3's Viewport Height to make a fullscreen section (height: 100vh). Unfortunately, I'm having trouble horizontally and vertically centering elements within a section. I'm attempting to have an image and bit of text within the first section appear in the center of the screen as a group. Thanks for the help!

Try this. http://jsfiddle.net/stybfgju/1/

transform: translateY(-50%);
/* horizontal centering */
margin: 0 auto;

}
If you change display to block then you'll need to explicitly set width
Add text-align: center if needed.

I want my image to float to the right. But if I use the float: right; write a command, it also takes the section with it. See image. The picture is already so far to the right because it is so big. (the rest is transparent).
#second {
background-color: black;
}
.orange {
height: 10px;
background-color: #F54703;
}
#secondBild {
float: right;
}
<div>
<section id="first">

</section>
<section class="orange">
</div>
I'm assuimg when you state 'it takes the section with it' means that you want the section with id = 'second' to occupy the space and image within it to be pushed to the right. To do this you can set the wrapping div to display: flex then use flex-grow to cause the second section to expand. To move the image to the right within section 'second' you use margin-inline: auto 0; You also have to make the image a block element too. If that's not what you're looking for drop me a comment and I'll edit.
Fully marked up html & css below
div {
display: flex;
}
#second {
flex-grow: 1; /* added this */
background-color: black;
}
.orange {
height: 10px;
background-color: #F54703;
}
#secondBild {
/*float: right;*/
margin-inline: auto 0; /* added this */
display: block; /* added this */
}
<div>
<section id="first">

Oh I found a way. I just put the image in the background, like this:
#first{
background-color: white;
background-image: url(bilder/Oben_rechtsunten.png);
background-position: right;
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 1000px;
}
The float property removes the element from the normal flow of the page,
so the block parent won't wrap the floating content. You can solve this by adding display: flow-root to the parent element to wrap its floating contents. Refer to Block formatting contexts for detailed information.
#second {
display: flow-root;
}
#secondBild {
float: right;
}
Another easy solution if you don't want to use float is adding text-align: right;
to the parent element.
#second {
text-align: right;
}
#img-container {
display: flex;
align-items: right;
}
Use `display: flex;` and `align-items: right;`
<div id="img-container">
<img src="#" id="image">
</div>
I'm trying to put a logo on the top left corner, and text parallel to the logo (top center).
The text should have the same distance from both sides of the page regardless of the logo.
I tried adding around "display: table; display: table-cell; position: relative; position: absolute;"
But the best I can get is text being centered but not on the same line as the logo but a bit low.
html:
<header class="header">
<div class="logo">
<img src="logo.gif" alt="a logo">
</div>
<div class="header-text">
Some text that is supposed to be centered in viewport
</div>
</header>
css:
.header {
border: 2px solid black;
width: 100%;
}
.logo img {
width: 80px;
}
.header-text {
text-align: center;
}
example image:
You could use position: absolute; and i've added the position to the title and gave it a wrapper together with the image so you can move them together.
I've also added some margin to show you the title stays centered
.header {
border: 2px solid black;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
position: relative;
margin: 30px 0;
}
.logo {
display: flex;
}
.logo img {
width: 80px;
}
.header-text {
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<header class="header">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="logo">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" alt="a logo">
</div>
<div class="header-text">
Some text that is supposed to be centered in viewport
</div>
</div>
</header>
use flexbox!
.header {
border: 2px solid black;
width: 100%;
display:flex;
justify-content:space-between;
align-items:center;
}
img ,#spacer{
width: 80px;
}
.header-text {
text-align: center;
}
<header class="header">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" alt="a logo">
<div class="header-text">
Some text that is supposed to be centered in viewport
</div>
<div id='spacer'></div>
</header>
There a numerous ways to go about this; I'll describe one method here.
Basically, you need to get the logo out of the layout flow so that the text can be centered without being affected by it. the easiest way to do this is by adding position: absolute to the logo.
Thus, a complete example might look like:
.header {
/* Allows the logo to be positioned relative to the header */
position: relative;
/* Centers the text — can be done other ways too */
text-align: center;
}
.header .logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
A JSFiddle Example: https://jsfiddle.net/g01z27tv/.
Keeping Proper Alignment
If you want to keep the logo and the text properly (vertically) aligned, flexbox will be your friend here.
First, ensure that the header is taller than the logo will be; otherwise the logo will be cut off.
Next, create a wrapper <div> for your logo. In your case:
<header class="header">
<div class="logo-wrapper">
<div class="logo">
<img src="logo.gif" alt="a logo">
</div>
</div>
<!-- ... -->
</header>
Now, add some styles for .logo-wrapper. Namely:
cause it to expand to fill the height of the header,
make it a flex container,
make its items' vertically centered,
make it position: absolute, and
position it to the left of the header:
.logo-wrapper {
height: 100%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
Note that you should now remove position: absolute and left: 0 from .logo, since we are positioning the wrapper instead.
Lastly, in order to properly align the text, we'll use flexbox on .header:
.header {
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /* Use this instead of text-align: center */
align-items: center;
}
You'll note now that even when you make the logo taller—as long as the header is taller—everything stays aligned.
An Update JSFiddle Example: https://jsfiddle.net/oL5un8gb/.
Note: I created a separate wrapper <div> in this example; in your case you probably don't need to because you have a separate <div> and <img> already. You might be able to get it to work without an extra element.
.header {
border: 2px solid black;
width: 100%;
}
.logo {
float: left;
}
.header-text {
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
width:100%;
margin: auto;
}
.header::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
<header class="header">
<div class="logo">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/75" alt="a logo">
</div>
<div class="header-text">
Some text that is supposed to be centered in viewport
</div>
</header>
As suggested in comments I have edited the text to be centred to 100% width.
I am trying to display an image next to two lines of text, which are centered. I have attached an example, and you will see from it that the image is to the left of the text, whereas I am trying to center the image to be on the left side of the text, and have a perfectly centered image/text.
CSS:
.center-class{
text-align:center;
}
.righty img{
max-width: 100px;
float:left;
}
.vid-open{
}
HMTL:
<section class="">
<div class="row pull-down">
<div class="center-class">
<div class="righty">
<img src="http://www.psdgraphics.com/file/white-egg.jpg" >
<h2>This is a header.</h2>
<h5 class="vid-open">some text some text some text<span class="icon-right-left-01-011" ></span></h5>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
SEE DEMO
Simply wrap the text in a div and display it inline-block:
.center-class {
text-align: center;
}
.righty > * {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.righty img {
max-width: 100px;

<h2>This is an egg.</h2>

Updated Codepen
Well, this will center the entire block:
.center-class{
text-align:center;
}
.righty img{
max-width: 100px;
float:left;
}
.vid-open{
}
.righty {
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The problem is that you've got your image inside of a div and div is a block-level element, which means it will expand to be the full width of its parent element.
If you take the image out of the div and make the div that contains the text have:
display:inline-block;
That div will shrink down to be only as wide as its content.
Here's your updated code: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/LNNJRQ
To horizontally center an element you can use display: block; and margin: auto;. There may be a better approach but this is the css I used to have the image in the center and the text to the right of it:
.righty > .con {
position: absolute;
top:0;
left: 55%;
}
.righty img {
display: block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100px;
}
Note: the position of the class .con will vary based on screen size.
Here is the updated codepen.
I'm redesigning a site and the different sections (header, banner image, main, etc.) have a background that stretches all the way across, however the content is contained to a certain width and that box is centered.
However, in the design the "banner image" (which is a image below the header but above the main content) will extend beyond the width of the rest of the content. At first this was easy until a need arose to have text on top of the banner image, and that text would need to line up with the rest of the text.
I cannot use CSS background image because on some pages the banner image area will be a slider, which requires tags.
I have a working solution, but it seems clunky and I was hoping to find a better method: http://jsfiddle.net/PkStg/10/
HTML:
<div class="header">
<div class="content-wrapper">

</div>
</div>

<div class="content-wrapper">

<h2>banner text header</h2>
<p>banner text paragraph</p>

<div class="banner-image-wrapper">
<img src="http://www.brokenbowlakeguide.com/rainbow-trout-1.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="main-content">
<div class="content-wrapper">
main content text
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.header, .banner, .main-content { width: 100%; }
.header { background: red;}
.banner { background: green; }
.main-content { background: yellow; }
.content-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 300px;
}
.banner-text-outer {
position: relative;
}
.banner-text-inner {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
}
.banner-image-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 400px;
min-width: 300px;
font-size: 0;
}
.banner-image-wrapper img {
width: 100%;
}
I know that you wanted to not use background-image, but here is a solution which uses that for anyone else who sees the page.
Perhaps your slider could make use of the background-image?
This should do it:

Is it possible to make the wrapper fill the window height (no scrolling) and the center div scrollable without messing around with pixels and javascript?
<div id="wrapper">
<h1>Header</h1>
<div id="center">
<div style="height:1000px">high content</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
Basically I want the header to be visible at the top and the footer to be always visible at the bottom and have a scrollable content in the center which occupies the remaning height.
The header, footer and center divs' heights are all unknown (no set px or %, i.e. variable font-size or padding). Is it possible with pure CSS?
2014 UPDATE: The modern way to solve this layout problem is to use the flexbox CSS model. It's supported by all major browsers and IE11+.
2012: The correct way to do this with CSS alone is to use display: table and display: table-row. These are supported by all major browsers, starting with IE8. This is not using tables for display. You'll use divs:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.wrapper {
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: yellow; /* just to make sure nothing bleeds */
}
.header {
display: table-row;
background: gray;
}
.content {
display: table-row; /* height is dynamic, and will expand... */
height: 100%; /* ...as content is added (won't scroll) */
background: turquoise;
}
.footer {
display: table-row;
background: lightgray;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<h1>Header</h1>
<p>Header of variable height</p>
</div>
<div class="content">
<h2>Content that expands in height dynamically to adjust for new content</h2>
Content height will initially be the remaining
height in its container (<code>.wrapper</code>).
<!-- p style="font-size: 4000%">Tall content</p -->
</div>
<div class="footer">
<h3>Sticky footer</h3>
<p>Footer of variable height</p>
</div>
</div>
That's it. The divs are wrapped as you'd expect.

Using overflow:auto will let you do this.
demo
So what you are talking about is a sticky footer. I went and did some more research and here is what I have for you.
<div id="wrapper" style="height:100%">
<div id="header" style="float:none;"><h1>Header</h1></div>
<div style="overflow:scroll;float:none;height:auto;">high content</div>
<div id="footer" style="clear:both;position:fixed;bottom:0px;"><h1>Footer</h1></div>
</div>
This will give you a sticky footer. The key is position:fixed and bottom:0px;
Unfortunately this means it also hovers above any content in the scrollview. So far there seems to be only Javascript to figure this out but I will keep looking.
