I am working with bootstrap v3 and trying to center a <span class="badge">1</span> between two buttons, one of which uses the pull-right class.
The exact html looks as follows:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Decient</button>
<span class="badge">10</span>
<button type="button" class="pull-right btn btn-danger">Garbage</button>
However this results in the following:
I would like to have the 10 centered but have not been successful. I have tried pagination-centered, text-centerand custom CSS to no avail. Also to provide some additional context, this is in the caption div of a thumbnail.
The following provides a basic scenario of my situation: http://jsfiddle.net/vvA78/1/
It is bootstrap, just use text-center on house-container div and pull-left on btn-success.
JSFiddle
To center vertically just add margin-top.

Of course do not follow the example and don't set margin-top to the entire .badge class.
.badge is probably an inline element. If you make it an inline-block or a block element, you can center it relative to the parent.
try this:
.badge { display: inline-block; margin: 0 auto; width: 40px; }
If it does not work, I'd need a fiddle or a link.

I have several buttons contained within divs that I would like to place on the same line. Two of the buttons are only displayed if a certain value is greater than 0. I added display:inline-block in a div container thinking that would place all of the enclosed divs on the same line but it didn't. I also need the buttons to float right (hence the style="float:right in the container div. I've also tried placing display=inline on each of the buttons which didn't work. Here is my HTML:
<div style="display:inline-block" style="float: right;">
<div *ngIf="menu.itemNumber > 0">
<button pButton type="button" label="Download" icon="fa-wrench" iconPos="left" (click)="Download();"></button>
<button pButton type="button" label="Upload" icon="fa-wrench" iconPos="left" (click)="Upload()"></button>
</div>
<button pButton type="button" style="float: right;" label="Delete" icon="fa-wrench" iconPos="left" (click)="Delete()"></button>
</div>
Why aren't the buttons showing up on the same line?
Its because you have a div inside which is block by default. Apply display:inline-block to all elements inside parent button div
Stack Snippet
.main>* {
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="main">
<div>
<button></button>
<button></button>
</div>
<button></button>
</div>
Your inner div (<div *ngIf="menu.itemNumber > 0">) is still a block level element. You need to give it display: inline-block, for it to be inline with the following button.
Also, do not duplicate the style property on your wrapper div. Combine the styles in one string: style="display:inline-block; float: right;" (this is assuming you still want the outer div to be inline-block - it may not need to be).
I also learned that sometimes, depending on the size of the content inside your buttons, or sibling elements, they might not be in the same baseline, meaning some will be higher than others, even if they are side by side. The way to fix baseline issues is to use a special kind of overflow (Like hidden or auto) on the sibling elements
EXAMPLE:
div sibling-elements{
overflow: hidden;
}

How do I get the test TEST to be in the middle of the span it is contained in?
This is using Twitter Bootstrap.
I have tried loads of different ways, like css, inline styling, setting margins, etc but I cannot get the span to do what I need. It appears as though its being drawn to the exact width of it's text.
My main aim is actually to be able to bring the text Nationwide Alerts down so that it is on the same row as the buttons.
The tricky thing is that I cant give this span a hard coded width because of the page being resized
Paul
Just adding that you can now simply use css flexbox to position text inside any element including spans.
The original link is no longer working, but this should center the text horizontally regardless of the size of the element.
span { display: flex;
justify-content: center }
If you want to align vertically, use align-items: center
Put a background color on the span to see why it isn't working. Those three items are in a div with no CSS associated with it. In order for the span to be in the middle, you need the div that surrounds it to, at the very least, have width & text-align properties.
Change
<div>
<button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>
<span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
<button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
</div>
to
<div class="centerTest">
<button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>
<span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
<button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
</div>
with whatever name you want & use
.centerTest {
width:100%;
text-align:center;
}
Additionally, with this markup, your code as is will cause the span to center, but you would have to add float:left to your btnPrevious id. I would refrain, as much as possible, from using inline CSS unless you are designing HTML email, so just create a CSS file that you include LAST in your list of CSS files and add your edits to there.
For example, if btnPrevious is in your template's CSS file, in YOUR CSS file, just add
#btnPrevious {
float:left;
}
and you're good.
EDIT:
Sorry missed the Bootstrap part as I just did a search for TEST inside your code. Bootstrap is built with these classes, and being that those are already inside of a container, you should be able to add text-center to the blank div and it should do the trick
Change
<div>
<button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>
<span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
<button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
</div>
to
<div class="text-center">
<button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>
<span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
<button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
</div>
Spans are, as you suspected, drawn to the exact width of it's text. You can circumvent this by setting it's style to display: block; width: 100%;, or any width you would like. This will mess up everything in your case, since you have other elements before and after the span itself.
Therefor you'll need to in addition set it's position to absolute.
Using bootstrap 2.3.0, there is a .text-center class you can use 3
<span class="text-center">...</span>
and a pagination-centered for bootstrap 3
<span class="pagination-centered">...</span>
You can also use
margin-top: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
Or if using TailwindCSS my-auto
I have a button group in a panel-header. I want them floated to the right, but when I do this the buttons are now down at the bottom of the header and I need them to be centered. How do I do this?
here's the HTML:
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
Member of the following Units
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" ><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"></span></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
test
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">
test
</div>
</div>
and a fiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/snowburnt/4ejuK/
Strangely enough, in my linux dev environment on chromium, the buttons themselves are properly centered but the icons within them are lower than they should be, I have a feeling this will answer both these issues.
You should add the class pull-right to your .btn-group div, instead of specifying float:right.
When you float an element, it loses block layout. It will no longer "push down" the bottom of its container since it doesn't have a height. You can fix this by setting overflow:hidden on your .panel-heading to allow it to resize properly. You will have to add top padding to the .panel-heading and negative top padding to the .btn-group to accomodate the height of the .btn-group.
I forked your fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Dq5ge/
You must clear your floats. There are many methods for this like the clearfix hack or using overflow: hidden. Which is what i did in your fiddle. http://jsfiddle.net/4ejuK/2/
.panel-heading {
overflow: hidden;
}
parent elements will collapse if their floated children are not cleared causing a lot of unexpected layout issues.
add
.container{
line-height:2.2;
}
along with what David has suggested above to have the text truly in the center vertically.
check fiddle
I mixed the 2 best solutions in one, for a better fit without changing too much the size or using top negative index:
.panel-heading {
overflow: hidden;
}
and using:
<div class="pull-right">
here you are the example: Jsfiddle example
You can use a trick for that ;)

Good luck - S.M. Mousavi
I solved this issue for myself today. All of the seemingly-working suggestions I found involved setting heights of things in pixels to match the buttons, and that just didn't sit right with me. I wanted the vertical alignment to be independent of the actual height of the panel text itself.
If you look at #ithcy's answer, and jack up the font-size, you have a problem (demo).
The more googling I did, the more I became convinced that CSS's vertical-align was what I wanted, but it never seemed to do what I think it should do. Then I ran across an article by Louis Lazaris that better explained what vertical-align is,
The vertical-align property can be broken down into three
easy-to-understand steps:
It only applies to inline or inline-block elements
It affects the
alignment of the element itself, not its contents (except when applied
to table cells)
When it’s applied to a table cell, the alignment
affects the cell contents, not the cell itself
and more importantly is not:
The common misconception about vertical-align is that, when it’s
applied to an element, it will make all the elements inside that
element change their vertical position.
My solution was to use CSS table formatting (which is what vertical-align is for, after all) instead of the floats that Bootstrap provides with pull-left and pull-right. It takes a little extra markup the way I (naively) did it, but I got the result I wanted:
HTML
<div class="panel-heading table-style">
<span class="panel-title">Member of...</span>
<div class="button-wrap">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-sm">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle"></span></button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.panel-heading.table-style {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.panel-heading.table-style .panel-title {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
}
.panel-heading.table-style .button-wrap {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: right;
}
I made a demo of the way I'm using it, which I'm sure can be improved on.
I am very aware that the btn-group has a tendency to wrap with this method, which looks terrible. I just don't have the knowledge or experience to fix it. In my use case, I only need single buttons, not groups, so it's working well enough for me.
It's very late, but I simply solve by this css:
.panel-heading h3,
.panel-heading .btn-group
{
display:inline-block;
}
There are some options I can choose from when it comes to horizontal center alignment with Bootstap.
I can either use offset class or use blank span class as a placeholder.
One other option can be using custom alignment like the following
.center {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
None of these options solve my issue because the content of the div container has to fill up the width by 100%.
Let's say I have the following
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4 offset4">
<button class="btn">1-1</button>
<button class="btn">1-2</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
If the buttons do not fill up the whole div space of span4, I won't get the real center alignment. Perhaps, I can make the content stretch to 100% but I don't know if this is any good practice.
Here I have a canvas to play with. JS BIN
Since you have inline elements you can just use the .text-center class on the span, also your're probably better off using offsets than empty elements:
HTML
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4 offset4 text-center">
<button class="btn">1-1</button>
<button class="btn">1-2</button>
</div>
</div>
Updated demo: http://jsbin.com/ayuFEhO/2/edit
You don't need add a new class, if you want horizontal align this buttons, just use .text-center here is a bin http://jsbin.com/UVeGejO/1/edit
Obs: text-center class already exist on twitter's bootstrap code.
I am trying to align some font-awesome arrow vertically inside two Bootstrap buttons.
Actually both the text and the icons should be vertically aligned in the middle of the button.
If the text inside falls into a single line or wraps in multiple ones the arrow icon should always adjust to the middle of the total height of the button, if that makes sense.
I've been trying to sort this one out for hours now but for the life of me I can't figure this out.
Here's the markup:
<div class="container">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-foo1"><span> this is <br>button<br>one</span><i class="icon-angle-right"></i></button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-foo2"><span>this is button two</span><i class="icon-angle-right"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
and here's a jsFiddle (updated) with what I currently have. Please note that the red background of the icons should touch the edges of the button (top/bottom/right) as opposed to what it is now.
Set both elements to display inline-block and then set the span to take up a percentage of the space. In this case 90% / 10% seems to work good.
span {
vertical-align:middle;
display:inline-block;
width:90%;
}
To remove the padding you can do this: (probably want to add a some left padding)
.btn-foo1,
.btn-foo2 {
padding:0;
border:0;
}
Change display to inline block, and remove right float:
.btn-foo1 [class^="icon-"],
.btn-foo2 [class^="icon-"],
.btn-foo1 [class*=" icon-"],
.btn-foo2 [class*=" icon-"] {
background-color: red;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
padding:24px;
width:10%;
}
Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/9brbD/19/
Also I would add a class to the span, instead of using span {} use myClass {}.
