This seems to be really a simple problem, but I'm not able to fix it or I'm being too lazy. Just would like to vertical-align: middle and align it to the right of the div, if I use float: right the element attaches to the bottom of the border above. Don't want to use line-height as well.
If you want a solution that doesn't include line-height, and float, also you want to align the span to the right ....
Then use display: table; for the parent element having nested child elements set to display: table-cell;
Demo
.main{
background-color: #666666;
border: 1px solid red;
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
h1{
background-color: #383838;
display: table-cell;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 20%;
}
.main span{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: right;
}
You want to add vertical-align: middle; to your h1

I have a problem that a <div> table that doesn't resize when I change the width of my screen. I know you can do this with flexbox, but I can't figure out how.
This is my current code:
CSS:
.boxer-center {
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
margin: auto;
}
.boxer .box-row {
display: table-row;
padding: 5px;
}
.box_pricing{
display: table-cell;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 1px dashed red;
min-width: 300px;
}
HTML:
<div class="boxer-center">
<div class="box-row">
<div class="box_pricing">Hi</div>
<div class="box_pricing">Hi</div>
<div class="box_pricing">Hi</div>
</div>
<div class="box-row">
<div class="box_pricing">asd</div>
<div class="box_pricing">asd</div>
<div class="box_pricing">asd</div>
</div>
</div>
I tried to convert it to flexbox, but it would not work for me. Can anybody help me with it?
.boxer-center {
position: relative;
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
.box-row {
display: table-row;
padding: 5px;
}
.box_pricing{
display: table-cell;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 1px dashed red;
}
JSFiddle Example
I had success by:
Setting the display:table element to 100% width.
Changing .boxer to .boxer-center as .boxer doesn't exist.
Changing border to outline so it won't affect the width of cells.
.boxer-center {
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
width:100%; /* Set table to 100% width */
/* margin:auto Removed this as it is not necessary */
}
.boxer-center .box-row { /* Changed to .boxer-center, .boxer doesn't exist */
display: table-row;
padding: 5px;
}
.box_pricing {
display: table-cell;
text-align: left;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
outline: 1px dashed red; /* Changed border to outline to preserve box model */
min-width:100px; /* No cell will be smaller than 100px */
}

I have the following simple code snippet. It is taken out from my application where .a1 is a container button, which has an icon. The icon should be vertically middle aligned to the parents line-height/height, but it is shifted with 1px from top. Could you explain me why this is the behavior? Is there any solution?
.a1 {
display: inline-block;
width: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
background-color: #000;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.i {
display: inline-block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
background-color: #f00;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="a1"><i class="i"></i>
</div>
Why?
Because inline-block elements render with "white-space". You can see this in this demo where no height/width is set on the parent element.
When you use vertical-align:middle; the "white space" is rendered before the element (on top) (black line in the demo). This space moves the child element down and therefore it doesn't appear verticaly centered.
how to fix :
You can use display:block; and calculate the margin to apply to the child element so it centers verticaly and horzontaly.
You can also take a look at this question which talks about white space and ways to avoid them.
Well, it seems like font-size:0; for .a1 seems also a fix for such issue.
.a1 {
display: inline-block;
width: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
background-color: #000;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
font-size: 0;
}
.i {
display: inline-block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
background-color: #f00;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="a1"><i class="i"></i>
</div>
.a1 {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #000;
}
.i {
display: block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin: 6px 6px;
background-color: #f00;
}
<div class="a1"><i class="i"></i>
</div>
.a1 {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #000;
}
.i {
display: block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin: 6px 6px;
background-color: #f00
Hi I'm trying to center the text in the first circle div. I think it's currently in the center of the div but when there is more than one characters like '200', it looks funky as below. I have the red circle background and trying to make the text in the center regardless of the characters. thank you in advance!
.main {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
display: inline-block;}
.main .label {
display: inline-block;}
.bg {
background: red;
padding: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 60%;}
.bg .label {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
width: 10px;
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;}
<div class="main">
<div class="bg"><span class="label">200</span></div>
<span class="label">This is the other text need to be</span>
<div class="bg"><span class="label">0</span></div>
<span class="label">This is the other text need to be</span>
</div>
Try to set width:100% on .bg .label as follows:
.main {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
display: inline-block;}
.main .label {
display: inline-block;}
.bg {
background: red;
padding: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 60%;}
.bg .label {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;}
<div class="main">
<div class="bg"><span class="label">200</span></div>
<div class="bg"><span class="label">0</span></div>
</div>
EDIT: if you want to keep the same width for the circle and still center the text, you could replace width:10px; in .bg with the following:
.bg {
/* ... */
width: 35px;
padding: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
/* ... */
}
So the full snippet would look something like this:
.main {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
display: inline-block;}
.main .label {
display: inline-block;}
.bg {
background: red;
width: 35px;
padding: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 60%;}
.bg .label {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;}
<div class="main">
<div class="bg"><span class="label">200</span></div>
<div class="bg"><span class="label">0</span></div>
</div>
Try something like this. I'm guessing you are ok with fixing the width and height of your little circles? If so, this solution should work for you. The benefit here is your circles stay consistent visually regardless of the values placed within them.
You can adjust the width/height of the circle to your liking, and whatever value you place in there will remain centered. Keep in mind, with this solution, your circles won't scale to match the value's length should it expand beyond their bounds. I assume this is the behavior you're looking for, though, given your original code.
Also, note, you might need to adjust the top margin to position the values according to the height of the circles if you change them. Hope this helps!
.bg {
background: red;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 60%;
width: 38px;
height: 38px;
}
.bg .label {
display: inline-block;
margin: 9px auto 0;
text-align: center;
width: 38px;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="bg"><span class="label">200</span></div>
<span class="label">This is the other text need to be</span>
<div class="bg"><span class="label">0</span></div>
<span class="label">This is the other text need to be</span>
</div>
I have the table, inside the table I have another box , I am struggling to align the box in center of the table.
My CSS code is
Inside box code
.inside_box{
border: medium solid;
display: table-cell;
float: none;
font-family: Helvetica-bold;
font-size: 20.19px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 300px;
}
Outside table CSS:
.outer_table {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #1A6DAC;
font-size: 24px;
left: 40px;
padding: 20px;
position: absolute;
top: 260px;
width: 740px;
}
How to align the inside box in center?
I assume that your HTML is something like this
<div class="outer_table">
<div class="inside_box">hello world</div>
</div>
So, you are using display: table-cell; for .inside_box and margin: auto; won't work, as it's a table cell now, so what you can do is, wrap a div around hello world text, like this
Demo
<div class="outer_table">
<div class="inside_box"><div>hello world</div></div>
</div>
And use CSS like
.inside_box {
border: medium solid;
display: table;
font-family: Helvetica-bold;
font-size: 20.19px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
width: 300px;
}
.outer_table {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #1A6DAC;
font-size: 24px;
left: 40px;
padding: 20px;
position: absolute;
top: 260px;
width: 740px;
}
.inside_box > div {
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Make sure you port the text-align: center; and vertical-align: middle; properties from .inside_box to .inside_box > div selector block.
Note: You won't need float: none;, not sure why you are using that.
As I got a comment, that what if you do not want to add an extra div element, so think like that you are using td without a table tag. So there is no way for that div with display: table-cell; to respect margin: auto;.
From Mozilla Developer Network :
Try to change and make your css like this:
.outer_table td {
text-align: center; // Align center
}
.inside_box {
float: none; // if you set float left or right your box will move right there
margin: 0px auto; // this setting for balancing margin left and right
}
<table class="outer_table">
<tr><td><div class="inside_box">Hellow wolrd!</div></td></tr>
</table>
I need to vertically align in middle labels of menu. Allso if client will change the value of label and it will break in two lines, it'll stays in middle. As i know vertical-align: middle works for table cells, but I need to generate menu from <li> elements. See example code below.
html
<ul>
<li>qwe</li>
<li>asd</li>
<li>zxcvbnm asdfgh</li>
</ul>
css
ul {
list-style: none;
}
li {
float:left;
border: 1px solid;
margin: 1px;
height: 60px;
width: 60px;
background: tomato;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
a {
vertical-align: middle;
}
And working prototype at jsbin
Hi now give to li display:table-cell and remove float:left
as like this
li {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
float:left; // remove this line
}
Demo
Just add line-height:60px to your a tag and it works.
See Demo
Use display: inline-block for <a> elements.
ul {
list-style: none;
}
li {
float:left;
border: 1px solid;
margin: 1px;
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px;
width: 60px;
background: tomato;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
a {
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
line-height: normal;
}
