Centered button over responsive image - html

JSFIDDLE DEMO
.btn {
text-transform: uppercase;
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 15px;
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #000;
padding: 25px 80px 25px 80px;
font-size: 18px; }
So I have this image, which is responsive and button over it which should be always centered.
If you move the window width, you'll see that image changes size quite a bit and I would like to know what is the best way to set button so it will change size automatically with image as well so it gets bigger/smaller?
Is there a better solution for this besides setting a lot of #media queries here?

Since you're using absolute positioning you can't currently use margins to achieve this.
However, if you use a new div that wraps the anchor, set it to position: absolute and then center the anchor inside that, it'll work.
<div class="logo">
<img src="http://s13.postimg.org/9y14o777r/imgholder.png" />
<div>Register</div>
</div>
.logo div {
position:absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding-top: 25%
}
.logo a {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 250px;
}
Fiddle
You can adjust the sizing and vertical centering as you need, and add some responsive css or min-width to control too-small sizes.

Aligning nav with logo using relative positioning

My CSS positioning skills have always been truly terrible. I'm looking to place my nav bar next to my logo, as well as making it move with the page and not get all screwy on anything smaller than a maximized window on a 1080p screen.
What it currently looks like: http://5.9.78.201/abellant/
It will likely look odd if you're on a different screen size.
I've (so far) used methods found on here, to no avail, using relative, absolute, and even clearing before giving up on it.
Can anyone show me where I'm screwing this up? I'm quite embarrassed by the fact that of all things, my positioning is just so bad.
Thank you.
If you want to position your logo and navbar at the center of the page::
Set #header "display:inline-block", "height:auto" and "text-align: center;" and remove all the css you have added to #logo and #navigation
#header {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #f2f2f2;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-shadow: 0 1.5px 1px #777;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
And if you want to set your logo and navigation side by side::
#header {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #f2f2f2;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-shadow: 0 1.5px 1px #777;
display: inline-block;
}
#logo {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#navigation {
float: right;
margin: 40px;
}
If you want to move your header section with page scroll. Set #header to "position:fixed".
So part of the problem is that you have a fixed left and right margin. Remove the fixed left and right margin for #logo and #navigation and do something like the following in your CSS:
#header {
margin: 0 auto; /* 0 px on top and bottom, auto on left and right => centered for a block element */
width: 960px; /* You need a width that will accomodate the logo and nav */
}
To make this work at other sizes, you'll need to look into CSS3 breakpoints. Here is a tutorial:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/design-and-ui/responsive/fundamentals/?hl=en
I solve your problem.
.container {
min-width: 500px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#navigation {
display: inline-block;
}
If you noticed that the logo and the menu are NOT perfectly center it's because your image has a small white space, if you could delete that space and replace the new image it will be PERFECTLY center :)

Aligning last div elements

I've tried to align last div element / elements using text-align-last property but it didn't work. I have much divs in the center, but my page is different on each resolution so I can't control if elements will be perfectly and none of them will be in last line alone or so, that's why I want to align them to left.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/
Picture of my site:
Adding the following CSS will work.
http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/1/
#gallery h2{
margin: 0;
height: 80px; /*Added height for the Heading */
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: 300;
color: #33CCFF;
}
.project{
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 15px 40px;
width: 156px; //To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
text-align: left;
float: left; //MUST CHANGE: Once you align left it will automatically float to left. Also the number of count per row will depends on the window width and div width.
}
.project .thumbnail{
width: 156px;//To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
height: 144px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
try adding styles to your CSS like these:
float:left;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
and try to fix the width for the wrapping div tag
for example:
.wrapper {
width:1000px;
}
see in example DEMO and try to predict the width now when you control it good luck!

Div height not adapting to parent

Still developing my html5/css3 mobile site, I have trouble adjusting the height of a div to its parent.
http://jsfiddle.net/1eg2cwLs/
The fiddle doesn't exactly look like this because I'm using webfonts (saved offline though as I'm not going to have internet connection on the target system). But the problem remains the same.
You might be seeing what the problem is right from the spot, if not: I would like the green and red bar (.itemclass) always have the same size as the content of its parent (.item).
Depending on font, its size (still playing around with it) and the overall height of each item, I have to precisely adjust the negative margin. Otherwise it looks like in the screenshot. The negative margin I just mentioned is in the CSS-class .itemclass: (marked with an arrow also in the fiddle)...
.itemclass {
height: 100px;
width: 50px;
background-color: #27ae60;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
color: white;
font-size: 2em;
margin-top: -27px; /* <=== */
display: inline-block;
}
This cannot be the solution. I tried a lot of stuff and I only got it "working" the way I mentioned.
Any better idea how to make it look clean without a hack?
As well, tips for other improvements regarding my html/css are well appreciated.
Sorry for appending the entire code into the fiddle. I don't know whether it was representative if I was going to remove stuff.
Best regards
I'd probably go this route:
.item {
position: relative;
...
}
.itemclass {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
...
}
.itemcontent {
margin-left: 50px;
...
}
Demo
Really big font demo
Consider a reasonable min-width for the body to prevent .tagline from overlapping, etc.
You can set .item's margin-top to 0, and instead adjust the margin-top of .vcenter:before. This way you're just adjusting the text and not the div.
Or you could drop the static height and width of .itemclass altogether. Now the .itemclass will scale.
http://jsfiddle.net/1eg2cwLs/5/
.item {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background-color: #eeeeee;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
overflow: hidden;
}
.itemclass {
height: 100%;
width: auto;
background-color: #27ae60;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
color: white;
font-size: 2em;
margin-top: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
As a fallback, you can set .item to not show overflow, and then adjust the line-height of :
.item {overflow:hidden}
overflow: hidden; is your best friend in this case! It hides any overflow content from view outside of .item
Add it into .item {} declaration.

Can't center div in another div

I'm trying to make a menu bar centered horizontally in the header of my page. For some reason, i can't get the centering to work. I made a little test page roughly displaying the problem: JSFiddle. The inner div has to be 5px away from the bottom, that's whatI use the position: absolute for.
I've tried searching on the web alot, but everything I find gives me the same result, or none at all. Most problems I found were when text-align: center wasn't in the container div, but even with it, it still doesn't work.
I removed two css attributes and it work.
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
Check this Fiddle
5px from bottom. Fiddle
This is not a perfect way, but it's still kind of useful. I first think of this idea from this Q&A.
You'll have to make some change to your HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="wrapper-center"> <!-- added a new DIV layer -->
<div id="inner_container">
TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS will change to:
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
position: relative;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
left:-50%;
}
#wrapper-center {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
bottom:5px;
width:auto;
}
Demo fiddle
The trick is to place the wrapper at the given top-bottom position, and 50% from left (related to parent), and then make the true content 50% to left (related to the wrapper), thus making it center.
But the pitfall is, the wrapper will only be half the parent container's width, and thus the content: in case of narrow screen or long content, it will wrap before it "stretch width enough".
If you want to centre something, you typically provide a width and then make the margins either side half of the total space remaining. So if your inner div is 70% of your outer div you set left and right margins to 15% each. Note that margin:auto will do this for you automatically. Your text will still appear to one side though as it is left-aligned. Fix this with text-align: centre.
PS: you really don't need to use position absolute to centre something like this, in fact it just makes things more difficult and less flexible.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
}
#inner_container {
color:red;
height:50px;
width: 70%;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
}
If you don't want a fixed width on the inner div, you could do something like this
#outer {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#inner {
display: inline-block;
}
That makes the inner div to an inline element, that can be centered with text-align.
working Ex
this CSS changes will work :
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline;
margin: 0 auto;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
Try this:
html
<div id="outer"><div id="inner">inner</div></div>
css
#outer {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner{
display: inline;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
example jsfiddle
You may set the inline style for the inner div.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div align="center" id="inner_container" style="text-align: center; position:absolute;color: white;width:100%; bottom:5px;">
<div style="display: inline-block;text-align: center;">TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!</div>
</div>
</div>

Correctly aligning image captions

How can I achieve a layout like this?
Right now I'm using this HTML:
<div class="image">
<img>
<div class="caption">
Caption Text
</div>
</div>
And this CSS:
.image {
background-color: #2A2A2A;
}
img {
max-width: 590px;
}
But the .image box is too big (since it expands to fit its parent):
The key is to not set a width for the img element, or the parent container. If the parent, .image is simply floated or in any other way adapted so that it shrinks to the size of its contents, this should work.
I used float to achieve the shrink-wrap aspect, but position: absolute; would do the same, as would display: inline-block;.
There's a demo over at JS Bin, which uses some jQuery to swap the images around, but it does nothing to the width of any elements. The CSS is reproduced below:
.image {
float: left; // for the shrink wrap
padding: 1em; // To achieve the bordered effect
background-color: #666; // just for contrast
-moz-border-radius: 2em; // for that web 2.0 goodness...
-webkit-border-radius: 2em;
border-radius: 2em;
}
.image img {
-moz-border-radius: 2em; // no width, anywhere. Presumably width: auto, would
-webkit-border-radius: 2em; // work, but that's redundant, since it's the default
border-radius: 2em;
}
.image img + .caption {
width: 100%; // forcing the .caption to take up 100% of the width
background-color: #ffa; // of its parent, except for the padding, so that it's
} // the same width as the image above.
As #Kyle said, block elements adjust their width to fit their parent's.
Setting a block element as inline though, is not the correct approach: what you need to do, is to set the .image div as a floating element, thus achieving a similar result, while keeping the features of a block element. The css to do the trick should be:
.image {
float: left;
display: inline; /* needed to fix the (IE <= 6) "3 pixels out of nowhere bug" */
/* whatever code you may find appropriate in order to render the rounded border */
}
.image .caption {
clear: left;
}
I left to you any further style improvement you may feel needed.
If you set the width of the .image box to the same width as the image, then apply padding to the .image box, you will get the border you are looking for because when you specify width, padding gets added to it.
So basically, you would need the following CSS:
.image {
padding: 10px;
width: 300px; /* assuming the picture is 300px */
}
Try the following:
.image {
position: relative;
width: 250px;
}
img {
border: 15px solid #777777;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 100%;
}
.caption {
border-left: 15px solid #777777;
border-right: 15px solid #777777;
border-bottom: 15px solid #777777;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
<div class="image">
<img src="yourImage" height="150px" />
<div class="caption">
Caption TextCaption TextCaption TextCaption TextCaption Text
</div>
</div>
Now the reason I have applied 3 borders to the caption div is because you do not know the width of the image without the border, but you do know the width of the border for the image. Applying the same border to the caption will give the caption the same width. Of course you will need to adjust the width of .image and the height of the img tag (this can be done through css), but the rest will be done for you. Also the caption div will resize for larger captions.

Richard
PS this code has been tried and tested in Chrome - it works fine.
Since divs are block-level elements, they expand to fit their parent.
It may not be the best solution, but if you don't know the size of the image ahead of time, you could do the below:
.image
{
padding: 10px;
max-width: 590px;
disply: inline;
}
.caption
{
background-color: #2A2A2A;
disply: inline;
}
The above will cause the img div to be rendered as an inline element which will shrink it to fit the content rather than its parent, and the padding will add the border.
I have come up with another solution. I dont believe David Thomas' answer makes the caption appear within the image (by all means correct me if I am wrong), so try the code below (I have used a combination of my code and Davids).
.image {
position: relative;
float: left;
border: 15px solid #777777;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.caption {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
left: 5px;
}
.image-container {
position: relative;
}
<div class="image">
<img src="/Images/header1.png" />
<div class="caption">
Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text Caption Text
</div>
</div>
