I have the following html:
<div id="img_holder">
<img id="image" src="../../images/img1.jpg" />
</div>
It has the following css:
#img_holder {
background-color:#EC0610;
min-height: 500px;
float:left;
width: 550px;
}
#image {
width: 300px;
height: 450px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 20px;
}
The image's margins aren't being set but its padding is. Also, when I set the margin to a specific value, the margins work. When I use the element inspector in Google Chrome, that line in the styles window doesn't have a line through it so I'm assuming it's valid css. I just can't figure out why it won't get set to auto.
You need to set the image to display:block;
demo http://jsfiddle.net/mCen7/
#image {
width: 300px;
height: 450px;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 20px;
display: block;
}
I would appreciate you give us your actual objective.
As far as I understand, you simply want the img to be centered in your div.
img tags are inline tags, that is, share the behavior of a text or a letter. It's not a block, such as a div.
inline tags are horizontally centered like text, with a text-align: center style, as follows:
#img_holder {
background-color:#EC0610;
min-height: 500px;
float:left;
width: 550px;
text-align: center;
}
#image {
width: 300px;
height: 450px;
padding-top: 20px;
}
<div id="img_holder">
<img id="image" src="../../images/img1.jpg" />
</div>

I have the typical 3 column layout and I need it to be fluid (ish). The specs of the projects are: we need the container to go from 1024px to 1440px max (that's easy). And the center column needs to go from 514 (at 1024) to 626 (at 1440), the sidebars on both sides containing the rest of the space.
I don't see an easy way around this, I've played with max-width and min-width but since the proportions are not the same at the 2 breakpoints, I can't use percentage width to make the columns fill the space on higher resolutions.
Here is my code:
<div id="container">
<nav id="sidebar-left">Left</nav>
<section id="page">Center</section>
<div id="sidebar-right">Right</div>
</div>
#container{
min-width:1024px;
max-width: 1440px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
#sidebar-left{
min-width: 230px;
max-width: 387px;
float: left;
background: red;
height: 300px;
}
#sidebar-right{
min-width: 230px;
max-width: 387px;
float: right;
background: blue;
height: 300px;
}
#page{
min-width: 514px;
margin: 0 20px;
max-width: 626px;
float: left;
background: purple;
height: 300px;
}
And I also made a fiddle:

I'd rather have a css only solution, I'm pretty sure is more or less easy to solve using jquery but I'd want to know if this is approachable with using it.
EDIT: I need this to be compatible with IE9+
Ok. You have several solutions to accomplish this task.
One solution is to change order of elements in your html (if possible):
<div id="container">
<nav id="sidebar-left">Left</nav>
<div id="sidebar-right">Right</div>
<section id="page">
<div class="page-inner">Center</div>
</section>
</div>
For "#page" use next css code:
#page {
overflow: hidden;
height: 300px;
}
.page-inner {
height: 100%;
margin: 0 20px;
background: purple;
}
Example code:
#page {
overflow: hidden;
height: 300px;
}
.page-inner {
height: 100%;
margin: 0 20px;
background: purple;
}
#container{
min-width:1024px;
max-width: 1440px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
#sidebar-left{
min-width: 230px;
max-width: 387px;
float: left;
background: red;
height: 300px;
}
#sidebar-right{
min-width: 230px;
max-width: 387px;
float: right;
background: blue;
height: 300px;
}
<div id="container">
<nav id="sidebar-left">Left</nav>
<div id="sidebar-right">Right</div>
<section id="page">
<div class="page-inner">Center</div>
</section>
</div>

Another solution is to apply flexbox. It's an elegant and easy way.
I think this layout can be achieved using some table & table-cell css like so:
basically set the .container to display: table
then set all direct children of the .container to display: table-cell
now these children will shrink/grow accordingly to their parent, however some tweaks have to be made for the #page to stay put at 626px widh and shrink down accordingly
max-width/min-width combo won't work on the #page div, however we can specify a fixed width, according to the max-width desired, in this case 626px, so that this div won't go past 626px width, but will shrink down if the window is resized
finally since we're using display: table-cell on these children divs, any margin prop. will be ignored, however we can mimic a margin using some border-left & right props. OR add another div inside the #page div that will hold the content and have some margin applied to it and the background accordingly.
Check out the demos bellow:
fake margins to the #page here
OR another div that holds the content for #page here
I have modified your code on fiddle
or else check the code below.

I am new to webdesign, I am using Phonegap (HTML5) I centered my image horizontally this way:
.html
<div id="loginholder" >
<img id="image_person" src="img/icon_login.png" />
...
.css
#image_person {
display:block;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
margin-top: 30px;
}
...
#loginholder{
background-color: #29AAE1;
height: 200px;
width: 70%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
...
Please why my margin-top is not working?
You need to trigger layout. Add overflow:hidden to #loginholder
I'd add padding-top: 30px; to #loginholder instead and remove the margin-top: 30px; from #image_person:
CSS
#image_person {
display:block;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
#loginholder {
background-color: #29AAE1;
height: 200px;
width: 70%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 30px;
}
Check out this JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bazC4/.
Also, if you wanted the #loginholder the same size, just remove 30px from the height so it would be height: 170px;.
The margin might be collapsing with the parent, causing the 30px margin to appear above the loginHolder div (more on margin collapsing). To resolve this, you could do one of the following:
Add a border or padding to loginHolder; this separates the margins so they won't collapse.
Change to using padding-top on the image instead of margin-top.
Try wrapping it in a div:
JSFIDDLE:
http://jsfiddle.net/MBLKs/
CSS:
#loginholder {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid red;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
#stabilizer {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
img {
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
Images behave like characters, so entering them doesn't always work. In this case, the position of the wrapping div and the image offset each other, leaving the image in the middle. Now your margin-top and everything else should work.
I'm making a site and trying to center the image head. However, it doesn't appear to be working.
Here is the HTML:
<body>
<div id="templatemo_header">
<div class="image"><img src="images/server_banner_lax_en5.png" alt="Header"></div>
</div>
</body>
And the CSS:
#templatemo_header {
height: 263px;
border-top: 5px solid #FFF;
overflow: visible;
width: 762px;
float: left;
background: url(images/templatemo_headerimg_bg.jpg);
}
#templatemo_header .image {
width: 762px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I tried to add margin: 0 auto; to the image, but it still is not centered. How can I do this?
Modify the css for the div containing your image with:
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
Add the following to your CSS file:
.image { width:762px; margin:0 auto;}
Your wrapping div is the same width as the image, this stops any margins from being automatically applied since there is no space.
There are a few ways to fix this, but easiest would be to set the width of templatemo_header (the wrapper div) to 100%. This way the image margins can expand, thereby centering the image.
So in your css, modify the width from 762px to 100%, like so:
#templatemo_header {
height: 263px;
border-top: 5px solid #FFF;
overflow: visible;
width: 100%;
float: left;
background: url(images/templatemo_headerimg_bg.jpg);
}
I am using wordpress to dynamically display images. Each image has a fixed width of 186 px and variable height, depending on the proportions of the image. Each image sits in a square box, with 15px padding. By default, the images appear at the top of the box. I am looking for a way to vertically center the image, given its fixed width, but variable height. Here is my code:
HTML:
<div class="logoContainer">
<img src="/path/to/image.jpg" />
</div>
CSS:
.logoContainer {
padding: 15px;
background: #dddddc;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width: 186px;
height: 186px;
}
.logoContainer img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I could use absolute positioning, but without knowing the exact height of the image, it would be difficult to perfectly center. BUT, we do know the exact dimensions of the container box. Thoughts?
Try this - http://jsfiddle.net/vLbRF/
.logoContainer {
padding:15px;
background:#dddddc;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width:186px;
height:186px;
line-height: 186px;
}
.logoContainer img {
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Using this technique which implements vertical-align will allow you to have dynamic-height containers:
<div class="logoContainer">
<span></span><img src="/path/to/image.jpg" />
</div>
CSS:
.logoContainer {
padding:15px;
background:#dddddc;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width:186px;
height:186px; }
span {
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
.logoContainer img {
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block; }
I have an image of 400px and a div that is smaller (the width is not always 300px as in my example). I want to center the image in the div, and if there is an overflow, hide it.
Note: I must keep the position:absolute on the image. I'm working with css-transitions, and if I use position:relative, my image shakes a bit (https://web.archive.org/web/20120528225923/http://ta6.maxplus.be:8888/).

You should make the container relative and give it a height as well and you're done.
http://jsfiddle.net/jaap/wjw83/4/
.main {
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
}
img.absolute {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -200px;
position: absolute;
}
<div class="main">
<img class="absolute" src="http://via.placeholder.com/400x200/A44/EED?text=Hello" alt="" />
</div>
<br />
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/400x200/A44/EED?text=Hello" alt="" />
If you want to you can also center the image vertically by adding a negative margin and top position: http://jsfiddle.net/jaap/wjw83/5/
None of the above solutions were working out well for me. I needed a dynamic image size to fit in a circular parent container with overflow:hidden
.circle-container {
width:100px;
height:100px;
text-align:center;
border-radius:50%;
overflow:hidden;
}
.circle-img img {
min-width:100px;
max-width:none;
height:100px;
margin:0 -100%;
}

For me flex-box worked perfect to center the image.
this is my html-code:
<div class="img-wrapper">
<img src="..." >
</div>
and this i used for css:
I wanted the Image same wide as the wrapper-element, but if the height is greater than the height of the wrapper-element it should be "cropped"/not displayed.
.img-wrapper{
width: 100%;
height: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
img {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
working solution with flex-box for posterity:
main points:
overflow hidden for wrapper
image height and width must be specified, cannot be percentage.
use any method you want to center the image.
wrapper {
width: 80;
height: 80;
overflow: hidden;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
image {
width: min-content;
height: min-content;
}
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.div-main{
height:200px;
width:200px;
overflow: hidden;
background:url(img.jpg) no-repeat center center
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="div-main">
</div>
</body>
just make sure how you are using image through css background use backgroud image position like background: url(your image path) no-repeat center center; automatically it wil align center to the screen.
this seems to work on our site, using your ideas and a little math based upon the left edge of wrapper div. It seems redundant to go left 50% then take out 50% extra margin, but it seems to work.
div.ImgWrapper {
width: 160px;
height: 160px
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
img.CropCenter {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -100%;
position: relative;
width: auto !important;
height: 160px !important;
}
<div class="ImgWrapper">
<img class="CropCenter" src="img.png">
</div>
I have been trying to implement Jaap's answer inside this page of my recent site, with one difference : the .main {height:} was set to auto instead of a fixed px value.
As responsive developer i am looking for a solution to synchronize the image height with the left floating text element, yet only in case my text height becomes greater then my actual image height.
In that case the image should not be rescaled, but cropped and centered as decribed in the original question here above.
Can this be done ?
You can simulate the behaviour by slowly downsizing the browser's width.
This issue is a huge pain in the a.. but I finally got it.
I've seen a lot of complicated solutions. This is so simple now that I see it.
.parent {
width:70px;
height:70px;
}
.child {
height:100%;
width:10000px; /* Or some other impossibly large number */
margin-left: -4965px; /* -1*((child width-parent width)/2) */
}
.child img {
display:block; /* won't work without this */
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
