I want to put two images in one div. One remains up and other goes down. Both take around 25% width:-
<div class="images">
<div class="pics">
<img src="GRProvider/Img.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="pics">
<img src="GRProvider/Img_2.jpg"/>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.images {
float: left;
width: 25%;
}
.pics {
float: left;
width: 12%;
margin: 0%;
}
images_img {
width: 100%;
}
Try this out using display:inline-block
CSS
.images {
display: inline-block;
width: 25%;
}
.pics img{
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
DEMO HERE
Do you want the pics side by side? You only need one line of css:
.pics { display:block; float:left; }
http://jsfiddle.net/ve9ud2o4/1/
Or if you want the image container div to be 25% and the pictures to span the div you could do:
.images { background:red; display:block; float:left; overflow:hidden; width:25%; }
.pics { background:green; display:block; float:left; width:50%; }
.pics img { border:1px dotted black; display:block; width:100%; }
http://jsfiddle.net/ve9ud2o4/2/
Remember that .pics width is relative to it's container. So even though the .images div is 25%, if you want a pic to be half of that you set the .pics width to 50%
you can use display:block; to prevent line breaks and display elements in same line
Of course you can ajust your div width to fit the two images and float them as you wish
I'd like to ask this question again as its previous incarnation was half a decade ago. We need not consider anything pre-IE9 for the purposes of this discussion:
I am trying to float two divs with different font-sizes. I can't find a way to align the text on the same baseline. Here is what I have been trying:
<div id="header">
<div id="left" style="float:left; font-size:40px;">BIG</div>
<div id="right" style="float:left;">SMALL</div>
</div>
I am struggling with this currently and the best solution I've found is magic offsets from inspection, and that's hardly robust. Inline-block has its own issues I'd prefer to avoid.
Edit:
http://jsfiddle.net/crw4r/10/
As you can see, floats align at the top, not at the baseline.
You could use display: table-cell instead of floats?
#header {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
#header div {
display: table-cell;
}
#left {
font-size: 40px;
}
#right {
text-align: right;
}
Demo
Set the line-height to be the same on both.
http://jsfiddle.net/crw4r/6/
eg.
line-height: 42px;
or if this is not what you want...
you could use absolute positioning.
http://jsfiddle.net/crw4r/7/
or, you could set the line height on both and add margin to the top of the smaller one, so the sum of the line-height and top margin are the same on both text.
http://jsfiddle.net/crw4r/13/
With display: inline-block, the divs are automatically aligned on the baseline. To compensate for the float, you can use text-align
#left {
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
font-size: 40px;
text-align: left;
}
#right {
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
text-align: right;
}
See JSFiddle
If you need to account for white space, use width: 49% for one of the divs
JSFiddle
<div id="container">
<div class="left"><span>Big</span></div>
<div class="right"><span>Small</span></div>
</div>
#container{
width:100%;
margin:0px auto;
}
#container div{
position:relative;
height: 42px;
width: 100px;
}
#container div span{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
right:0;
}
.left{
float:left !important; font-size:40px;
}
.right{
float:right !important;
}
Try below css and html
CSS
.header {
overflow: hidden;
width: 200px;
display:table;
}
.header > div{
display:table-row;
}
.header > div > div{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:baseline;
width:50%;
}
.big {
text-decoration: underline;
font-size: 40px;
}
.small {
text-decoration: underline;
font-size: 12px;
}
HTML
<div class="header">
<div>
<div class="big">BIG</div>
<div class="small">SMALL</div>
</div>
</div>
I have two divs inside a container div. One need to float left the other float right. They also both need to be vertically centered inside their parent. How can I achieve this?
<div id='parent'>
<div id='left-box' class='child'>Some text</div>
<div id='right-box' class='child'>Details</div>
</div>
If no float is applied to either they vertically align to the middle with this css
.child{ display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle; }
However adding #right-box{ float: right; } causes the children to lose their vertical alignment. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks guys
here is the online demo of the solution you needed
it was made with this html:
<div id='parent'>
<div id='left-box' class='child'>Some text</div>
<div id='right-box' class='child'>Details</div>
</div>
and this css:
#parent {
position: relative;
/* decoration */
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
height: 70px;
/* if text is one-line, line-height equal to height set text to the middle */
line-height: 70px;
/* margin-top is negative 1/2 of height */
margin-top: -35px;
/* decoration */
width: 200px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #dfd;
}
#left-box { left: 0; }
#right-box { right: 0; }
You can try the display:table and display:table-cell styles.
Check this site out for more details http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html
NB: if you want the parent div height to be a percent (like 100%), then it will be relative to the height of it's container. If the container is the body, then you will have to set the body and html's height as well, like to 100%.
Here's an example of what the code might look like:
<div id='parent'>
<div id='left-box'>Some text</div>
<div id='right-box'>Details</div>
</div>
<style>
body,html{
height:100%;
}
#parent{
border:1px solid red;
display:table;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
#left-box{
background-color:#eee;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
padding:3px;
width:50%;
}
#right-box{
background-color:#dddddd;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
padding:3px;
width:50%;
}
</style>
Consider the following example: (live demo here)
HTML:
<a><img src="http://img.brothersoft.com/icon/softimage/s/smiley.s_challenge-131939.jpeg" /></a>
CSS:
a {
display: block;
background: #000;
line-height: 40px;
}
img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
The output is:
Why the image is not vertically centered ?
How could I fix that so it will work in all major browsers ?
Please don't assume any image size (like 32x32 in this case), because in the real case the image size is unknown.
You can use position:absolute; for this.
For example:
a {
display: block;
background: #000;
line-height: 40px;
height:80px;
position:relative;
}
img {
position:absolute;
top:50%;
margin-top:-16px;
}
NOTE: This gives margin-top half of the image size.
Check this http://jsfiddle.net/cXUnT/7/
I can't really tell you the specifics as to why this happens (I'm curious myself). But this works for me:
a {
display: block;
background: #000;
line-height: 40px;
}
img {
vertical-align: middle;
margin-top:-4px; /* this work for me with any given line-height or img height */
}
You should have display: table-cell I think, this works only in tables.. I use line-height equal to height of the element and it works too.
I had the same problem. This works for me:
<style type="text/css">
div.parent {
position: relative;
}
/*vertical middle and horizontal center align*/
img.child {
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
</style>
<div class="parent">
<img class="child">
</div>
If you know the vertical size of the element and the line height, then you can vertically center it by using vertical-align: top plus a top margin.
For illustration, I created: http://jsfiddle.net/feklee/cXUnT/30/
Just put the img tag inside a div tag the set
display:table-cell vertical-align: middle to the div. Parent tag should be display:table
Example:
Css
a {
display: table;
background: #000;
height:200px;
}
div {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
HTML
<a>
<div>
<img src="http://img.brothersoft.com/icon/softimage/s/smiley.s_challenge- 131939.jpeg" />
</div>
</a>
Not sure what's the cause.
Removing the line-height and adding margins to the image does the trick.
a {
display: block;
background: #f00;
}
img {
margin: .3em auto;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<a>
<img src="https://placeimg.com/30/30/any">
</a>
Try using a background image on an <a>:
a {display:block;background:#000;line-height:40px;background:#000 url(http://img.brothersoft.com/icon/softimage/s/smiley.s_challenge-131939.jpeg) no-repeat left center;text-indent:-999px}

Closed 3 years ago.
I have a div 200 x 200 px. I want to place a 50 x 50 px image right in the middle of the div.
How can it be done?
I am able to get it centered horizontally by using text-align: center for the div. But vertical alignment is the issue..
Working in old browsers (IE >= 8)
Absolute position in combination with automatic margin permits to center an element horizontally and vertically. The element position could be based on a parent element position using relative positioning. View Result
img {
position: absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
Personally, I'd place it as the background image within the div, the CSS for that being:
#demo {
background: url(bg_apple_little.gif) no-repeat center center;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
}
(Assumes a div with id="demo" as you are already specifying height and width adding a background shouldn't be an issue)
Let the browser take the strain.
another way is to create a table with valign, of course. This would work regardless of you knowing the div's height or not.
<div>
<table width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="center">
<tr><td>
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="foo" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
but you should always stick to just css whenever possible.
I would set your larger div with position:relative; then for your image do this:
img.classname{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin-top:-25px;
margin-left:-25px;
}
This only works because you know the dimensions of both the image and the containing div. This will also let you have other items within the containing div... where solutions like using line-height will not.
EDIT: Note... your margins are negative half of the size of the image.
This works correctly:
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
else try this if the above only gives you horizontal centering:
.outerContainer {
position: relative;
}
.innerContainer {
width: 50px; //your image/element width here
height: 50px; //your image/element height here
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
}
Use Flexbox:
.outerDiv {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center; /* Centering y-axis */
align-items :center; /* Centering x-axis */
}
here's another method to center everything within anything.
Working Fiddle
HTML: (simple as ever)
<div class="Container">
<div class="Content"> /*this can be an img, span, or everything else*/
I'm the Content
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.Container
{
text-align: center;
}
.Container:before
{
content: '';
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.Content
{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Benefits
The Container and Content height are unknown.
Centering without specific negative margin, without setting the line-height (so it works well with multiple line of text) and without a script, also Works great with CSS transitions.
This is coming a bit late, but here's a solution I use to vertical align elements within a parent div.
This is useful for when you know the size of the container div, but not that of the contained image. (this is frequently the case when working with lightboxes or image carousels).
Here's the styling you should try:
container div
{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
height:200px;
width:200px;
}
img
{
/*Apply any styling here*/
}
I've found that Valamas' and Lepu's answers above are the most straightforward answers that deal with images of unknown size, or of known size that you'd rather not hard-code into your CSS. I just have a few small tweaks: remove irrelevant styles, size it to 200px to match the question, and add max-height/max-width to handle images that may be too large.
div.image-thumbnail
{
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
line-height: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
div.image-thumbnail img
{
vertical-align: middle;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
}
in the div
style="text-align:center; line-height:200px"
We can easily achieve this using flex. no need for background-image.

Vertical-align is one of the most misused css styles. It doesn't work how you might expect on elements that are not td's or css "display: table-cell".
This is a very good post on the matter. http://phrogz.net/CSS/vertical-align/index.html
The most common methods to acheive what you're looking for are:
padding top/bottom
position absolute
line-height
In CSS do it as:
img
{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
margin:auto;
}
#sleepy You can easily do this using the following attributes:
#content {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#myImage {
display: block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
<div id="content">
<img id="myImage" src="http://blog.w3c.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/css31-213x300.png">
</div>
References: W3
Typically, I'll set the line-height to be 200px. Usually does the trick.
I have a gallery of images for which I don't know the exact heights or widths of images beforhand, I just know that they are smaller than the div in which they are going to be contained.
By doing a combination of line-height settings on the container and using vertical-align:middle on the image element, I finally got it to work on FF 3.5, Safari 4.0 and IE7.0 using the following HTML markup and the following CSS.
The HTML Markup
<div id="gallery">
<div class="painting">
<a href="Painting/Details/2">
<img src="/Content/Images/Paintings/Thumbnail/painting_00002.jpg" />
</a>
</div>
<div class="painting">
...
</div>
...
</div>
The CSS
div.painting
{
float:left;
height:138px; /* fixed dimensions */
width: 138px;
border: solid 1px white;
background-color:#F5F5F5;
line-height:138px;
text-align:center;
}
div.painting a img
{
border:none;
vertical-align:middle;
}
This works for me :
<body>
<table id="table-foo">
<tr><td>
<img src="foo.png" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#table-foo {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#table-foo img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
Another way (not mentioned here yet) is with Flexbox.
Just set the following rules on the container div:
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /* align horizontal */
align-items: center; /* align vertical */
FIDDLE
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid green;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
/* align horizontal */
align-items: center;
/* align vertical */
}
<div>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50/food" alt="" />
</div>
A good place to start with Flexbox to see some of it's features and get syntax for maximum browser support is flexyboxes
Also, browser support nowadays is quite good: caniuse
For cross-browser compatibility for display: flex and align-items, you can use the following:
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-align: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items: center;
This is an old solution but browser market shares have advanced enough that you may be able to get by without the IE hack part of it if you are not concerned about degrading for IE7. This works when you know the dimensions of the outer container but may or may not know the dimensions of the inner image.
.parent {
display: table;
height: 200px; /* can be percentages, too, like 100% */
width: 200px; /* can be percentages, too, like 100% */
}
.child {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<img src="foo.png" alt="bar" />
</div>
</div>
easy
img {
transform: translate(50%,50%);
}
You can set position of image is align center horizontal by this
#imageId {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
I've been trying to get an image to be centered vertically and horizontally within a circle shape using hmtl and css.
After combining several points from this thread, here's what I came up with: jsFiddle
Here's another example of this within a three column layout: jsFiddle
CSS:
#circle {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #A7A9AB;
-moz-border-radius: 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
.images {
position: absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
HTML:
<div id="circle">
<img class="images" src="https://png.icons8.com/facebook-like-filled/ios7/50" />
</div>
You can center an image horizontally and vertically with the code below (works in IE/FF).
It will put the top edge of the image at exactly 50% of the browser height, and the margin-top(pulling half the height of the image up) will center it perfectly.
<style type="text/css">
#middle {position: absolute; top: 50%;} /* for explorer only*/
#middle[id] {vertical-align: middle; width: 100%;}
#inner {position: relative; top: -50%} /* for explorer only */
</style>
<body style="background-color:#eeeeee">
<div id="middle">
<div id="inner" align="center" style="margin-top:...px"> /* the number will be half the height of your image, so for example if the height is 500px then you will put 250px for the margin-top */
<img src="..." height="..." width="..." />
</div>
</div>
</body>
I love jumping on old bandwagons!
Here's a 2015 update to this answer. I started using CSS3 transform to do my dirty work for positioning. This allows you to not have to make any extra HTML, you don't have to do math (finding half-widths of things) you can use it on any element!
Here's an example (with fiddle at the end). Your HTML:
<div class="bigDiv">
<div class="smallDiv">
</div>
</div>
With accompanying CSS:
.bigDiv {
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#efefef;
position:relative;
}
.smallDiv {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-color:#cc0000;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%, -50%);
}
What I do a lot these days is I will give a class to things I want centered and just re-use that class every time. For example:
<div class="bigDiv">
<div class="smallDiv centerThis">
</div>
</div>
css
.bigDiv {
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#efefef;
position:relative;
}
.smallDiv {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-color:#cc0000;
}
.centerThis {
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%, -50%);
}
This way, I will always be able to center something in it's container. You just have to make sure that the thing you want centered is in a container that has a position defined.
Here's a fiddle
BTW: This works for centering BIGGER divs inside SMALLER divs as well.
div {
position: absolute;
border: 3px solid green;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
img {
position: relative;
border: 3px solid red;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
.center {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
}
<div class="center">
<img class="center" src="http://placeholders.org/250/000/fff" />
</div>
Related: Center a image
thanks to everyone else for the clues.
I used this method
div.image-thumbnail
{
width: 85px;
height: 85px;
line-height: 85px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
div.image-thumbnail img
{
vertical-align: middle;
}
Use positioning. The following worked for me:
div{
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
}
div img{
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
bottom: 50%;
right: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
Simply set image margin auto as shown below.
img{
margin:auto;
width:50%;
height:auto;
}
Check these example
.container {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
.children-with-img {
position: absolute;
width:50px;
height:50px;
left:50%;
top:50%;
transform:translate(-50%);
}
If you know the size of the parent div and the image, you can just use absolute positioning.
