i created this jsFiddle and i wanted to know how could i adjust the <p> tag within the div so that the height is adjusted based on the text within and not for it to hide behind another div.

Hi Just set an height:auto. See your code here http://jsfiddle.net/qGzer/23/
.nameImage {
width:158px;
height:auto;
}
Also i set the float:left to display:inline-block to reserve spaces in case of different heights of the divs.
add this to css of div
position: absolute;
.gridLetter {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-top: 4px;
display: block;
height: 17.7px;
position: absolute;
}

In your div you are limiting the height

MDN says line-height work on inline elements. Images are inline elements. Then why doesn't line-height work on img elements? Here is the jsfiddle in which line-height doesn't center the image.
The page you link to says:
On replaced inline elements such as buttons or other input elements, line-height has no effect.
img elements are replaced inline elements, so line-height has no effect on them.
You need an extra element if you want to set the line height of a line box around an image.
span {
line-height: 200px;
}
div {
outline: solid black 1px;
}
<div>
Hello <span> <img src="http://www.iana.org/_img/2013.1/iana-logo-header.svg" alt=""> </span> World
</div>
<div>
Hello
<img src="http://www.iana.org/_img/2013.1/iana-logo-header.svg" alt="">World
</div>
You need to use line-height on div
.container {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
border: 1px dotted black;
line-height: 400px;
}
<div class="container">
<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/2229/social_media_mini/48/google.png" alt="">

I am trying to align vertical some text in a div here:
HTML:
<div class="div1">
<div class="div11">
<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrJSq87IMAAD3Zg.png" alt="" width="40px">
</div>
<div class="div12">
yo
</br>
yo
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.div1 {
height: 40px;
}
.div1 div {
display: inline-block;
}
.div12 {
padding-top: 5px;
}
JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/4mVPG/1/
The height of my divs is fixed so all I want to do is set up a padding-top on the last div (.div12) to move the text down a bit. However when I add a padding-top all the box are brought down.
Why is this happening and how can I fix this? Thanks
When you use inline-block, each block acts as if it where text that gets alined (by default) on the baseline. If you increase the height of the second block, the baseline goes down, and the first block as well.
You can use vertical-align: top to change this.
Just replace CSS with this:
.div1 {
height: 40px;
}
.div1 > div {
float: left;
}
.div12 {
padding: 0 0 0 3px;
}
The div1 div selector also applies to all descendants so using > only applies to first one. Also if container is height fixed i think it's better to use float.
JSFidle
Hope it helps!
You can use ".div1 div {display: inline-block;vertical-align: top;}" and there is no need for .div12 { margin-top: 30px; } since you want both aligned top and no extra space on top of "Text div"
Also, just for a better practice, avoid using "<br>" tag, there are many "Block" tag like, <div>, <p> etc. and if there are list of "links" use "<ul><li>" and you can control the margins and spaces with CSS.
Here is the updated code :
HTML
<div class="div1">
<div class="div11">
<img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrJSq87IMAAD3Zg.png" alt="" width="40px"/>
</div>
<div class="div12">
<ul>
<li>yo
</li>
<li> yo
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.div1 {
height: 40px;
}
.div1 div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
.div12 ul,
.div12 li{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}

Is it what you want ? http://jsfiddle.net/4mVPG/4/ i cleaned up css a little bit
div {
height: 40px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
and for html
<div class="div11">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/40/40" alt="" width="40px" />
</div>
<div class="div12">
yo
<br />

I have an image within a parent div. I also want to have some text underneath the image within that parent div, but I only want the width of that text div to be as large as the image.
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<div class="image-container">
<img src="..." />
</div>
<div class="text">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsfiddle that illustrates my problem:
jsfiddle
How can I resolve this? I can't put the text inside the same div as the image because the image is cut off using a max-height css.
Is this what you were after? Can you use jquery?
$('.child').width($('.image-container').width());
http://jsfiddle.net/YRYZA/
I simplified your markup and css a little bit. You can keep them in the same parent. use position absolute for the text and add position relative to its parent. that way it will take the parent's width. and the parent's width will be set by whatever size the image is, hence the text will be the same width as the image at the end of the day.
html:
<div class="parent">
<div class="image-container">
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/400/600/" />
<div class="text">
text
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.parent {
width: 700px;
}
.image-container {
background: green;
float:left;
position: relative;
}
div.text {
background: green;
position: absolute;
width:100%;
left:0;
}
jsfiddle
Do this:
.child{ position: relative; }
.text{ position: absolute; left: 0px; right: 0px; }
Then .child div would be as wide as the image (not influenced by .text width) and .text would fit in the space.

I have a div containing a title text and an image.
With the code below, the title is showing just above the image.
HTML code:
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="text">
<center>Heading</center>
</div>
<div class="image">
<img src="sample.png">
</div>
</div>
I would like to align the title so that it will appear on the center (vertically and horizontally) of the image.
How can I achieve that using HTML and CSS?
You could remove the image tag and make the image be the background of the container div.
HTML
<div class="text">
Heading
</div>
CSS
.text {
background-image: url('sample.jpg');
text-align: center;
}
EDIT: I don't want to sell it as my perfect answer, but I realized I missed the vertical alignment, and as similar solutions have already been provided here in comments and answers, let me just provide you with a good source of info below. The point is that you could use vertical-align:middle if you used span or other inline element, but with div, you have to use other tricks like position:absolute and minus margins.
Source: http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html
Your markup is mostly correct with the exception of using the center element and you do not need to wrap the img element in a div.
Here is some example markup:
<div class="thumbnail">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<img src="sample.png">
</div>
And its corresponding CSS:
.thumbnail {
position:relative;
}
.thumbnail h1 {
text-align:center;
position:absolute;top:50%;left:0;width:100%;
margin-top:-20px; /*make the negative top margin = half your h1 element height */
}
You could always use an element other than an h1 to hold your title. This just depends on your preference.
The following might help you.
HTML:
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="text">
Heading
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.text {
background-image: url('http://cs616623.vk.me/v616623331/7991/vPKjXbo-c7o.jpg');
width: 320px;
height: 240px;
line-height: 240px;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
font-size: 48px;
}
Take into account that in this approach you would have to set manually the height and the width of your text element. Moreover, the height should be duplicated in the line-height in order for vertical alignment to work correctly.
You could test and change the code in the corresponding JSFiddle or just check the full-screen result.
I wouldn't recommend using lineheight to vertically align the text(as some answers suggest) solely because if the header is to long and spans over across two rows it would look terrible.
What I would do is to absolute position the heading and then use display: table-cell to vertical align it.
Note that to be able to use this solution you have to specify an height for the heading.
HTML
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="text">
<h1>Heading</h1>
</div>
<div class="image">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x250" />
</div>
</div>
CSS
.thumbnail{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.text{
position:absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 350px;
}
.text h1{
height: 250px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
width: 350px;
color: #fff;
}

I am trying to make these blocks of info the same size regardless of the number of words each one holds. As seen in the example, when one block has less text than the other, one gets a bit smaller and the other remains a different size.
Now my question is, How do I achieve having these blocks the same size regardless of its content or image? I am also going to use another pair right below them.
Here is the CSS code:
/***********All containers**************/
.bottomContainers{
position: absolute;
margin-left: 0%;
display: inline-box;
}
/**********Small Containers*************/
.container{
max-width: 30%;
max-height: 30%;
margin-top:5%;
margin-bottom: 5%;
margin-left: 10%;
padding-left: 2%;
padding-right: 2%;
padding-bottom: 2%;
background-color: #ecf0f1;
color: grey;
display: inline-block;
/*display: inline-block;*/
border-radius: 5px;
border-bottom: 2px solid grey;
}
Here is the HTML code:
<div class="bottomContainers" role="moreInfo">
<!--Small Inner Containers for Information-->
<div class="container" id="firstContainer">
<br />
<center><img src="img/map.png"></center>
<br>
<article>
Some random text is in this block, It doesnt size like the next one
</article>
</div>
<div class="container" id="firstContainer">
<br />
<center><img src="img/money.png"></center>
<br>
this is another block which also doesnt scale to the other block regardless of text inside of it
</div>
What did I possibly do wrong here ?
I am heavily refactoring your original code in this solution. If this is a static width website then having static width cells won't be a problem. If you want this solution to be responsive you will have a lot of issues with it:
http://jsfiddle.net/VET6x/1/
I positioned the image and its corresponding text using absolute. Again that will work with a static layout, once it goes responsive there will be problems.
<div class="bottomContainers">
<div class="container">
<div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/80/80" />
</div>
<div>
Some random text is in this block, It doesnt size like the next one
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div>
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/80/80" />
</div>
<div>
This is another block which also doesnt scale to the other block regardless of text inside of it
</div>
</div>
</div>
.bottomContainers { overflow:hidden; }
.container {
width:200px;
height:200px;
float:left;
position:relative;
margin:5% 5%;
padding:2%;
background-color: #ecf0f1;
color: grey;
border-radius: 5px;
border-bottom: 2px solid grey;
}
.container > div { position:absolute; bottom:10px; }
.container > div:first-child { position:absolute; top:10px }
If it were me I would find someway to avoid static height cells.
Here is one solution that may work for you:
Demo Fiddle
I changed up your code a bit. Using the center tag is frowned upon, also it looks like the br tags were there for spacing, which could be done with margin. I ended up giving .container a specified height, the main drawback in that being if the window is sized down too far the overflow text will be hidden.
HTML:
<div class="bottomContainers" role="moreInfo">
<div class="container" id="firstContainer">
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/100x100">
<p>
Some random text is in this block, It doesnt size like the next one
</p>
</div>
<div class="container" id="firstContainer">
<img src="http://www.placehold.it/100x100">
<p>
this is another block which also doesnt scale to the other block regardless of text inside of it
</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
// your current styles here
overflow: hidden;
height: 200px;
display: block;
float: left;
}
.container img {
display: block;
margin: 10px auto 0px;
}
This is a quick fix, but setting an explicit height on the objects will have them all be the same height. This requires some playing around with the best size and such but it will fix your problem. I'm curious how a professional would fix this problem.
Some other things with your code. Centering the <img> using HTML is discouraged, use css instead. Also, where are the <br> tags and why are some closed but some aren't?
Maybe you can use display:table;, display:table-row; and display:table-cell;. This way, your div will act like column of a table. They will stay at the same height.
Take a look at this jsfiddle!
