Textarea filling remaing width - html

I have a <div> containing an <img> and a <textarea> like this:
<div style="width: 50%">
<img />
<textarea>...</textarea>
</div>
<img> has variable width. How to make the textarea fillup the remaing space?
Thanks!

You can use display: table-cell and help achieve this like so:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="containerRow">
<div class="imageContainer">
<img href="[your_image_address]" alt="[your_image_alt]" />
</div>
<div class="textareaContainer">
<textarea>[your_textarea_content]</textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.containerRow {
display: table-row;
}
.imageContainer {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
width: 1px;
}
.textareaContainer {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
}
.textareaContainer textarea {
width: 100%;
}
Demo

Ensure that the parents and children that are supposed to fill up the space use width:100%, which is relative to their parent container. So the <textarea> need to be defined as having 100% width, along with the image. Likewise they would need to be defined as display:inline or inline-block versus block so that they appear next to each other. Another option is to use a CSS table as: <div> with display:table, <div> with display:table-row and then <span> with display: table-cell for the columns that have the <image> and <textarea>; respectively. That will fit those elements into a CSS table that if defined as width:100% will fill up its parent.

Vertically Aligning Text & Image [duplicate]

Why won't vertical-align: middle work? And yet, vertical-align: top does work.
span{
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div>
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/30" alt="small img" />
<span>Doesn't work.</span>
</div>
Actually, in this case it's quite simple: apply the vertical align to the image. Since it's all in one line, it's really the image you want aligned, not the text.
<!-- moved "vertical-align:middle" style from span to img -->
<div>
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="https://via.placeholder.com/60x60" alt="A grey image showing text 60 x 60">
<span style="">Works.</span>
</div>
Tested in FF3.
Now you can use flexbox for this type of layout.
.box {
display: flex;
align-items:center;
}
<div class="box">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/60x60">
<span style="">Works.</span>
</div>
Here are some simple techniques for vertical-align:
One-line vertical-align:middle
This one is easy: set the line-height of the text element to equal that of the container
<div>
<img style="width:30px; height:30px;">
<span style="line-height:30px;">Doesn't work.</span>
</div>
Multiple-lines vertical-align:bottom
Absolutely position an inner div relative to its container
<div style="position:relative;width:30px;height:60px;">
<div style="position:absolute;bottom:0">This is positioned on the bottom</div>
</div>
Multiple-lines vertical-align:middle
<div style="display:table;width:30px;height:60px;">
<div style="display:table-cell;height:30px;">This is positioned in the middle</div>
</div>
If you must support ancient versions of IE <= 7
In order to get this to work correctly across the board, you'll have to hack the CSS a bit. Luckily, there is an IE bug that works in our favor. Setting top:50% on the container and top:-50% on the inner div, you can achieve the same result. We can combine the two using another feature IE doesn't support: advanced CSS selectors.
<style type="text/css">
#container {
width: 30px;
height: 60px;
position: relative;
}
#wrapper > #container {
display: table;
position: static;
}
#container div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
}
#container div div {
position: relative;
top: -50%;
}
#container > div {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
position: static;
}
</style>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div><div><p>Works in everything!</p></div></div>
</div>
</div>
Variable container height vertical-align:middle
This solution requires a slightly more modern browser than the other solutions, as it makes use of the transform: translateY property. (http://caniuse.com/#feat=transforms2d)
Applying the following 3 lines of CSS to an element will vertically centre it within its parent regardless of the height of the parent element:
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
Change your div into a flex container:
div { display: flex; }
Now there are two methods to center the alignments for all the content:
Method 1:
div { align-items: center; }
DEMO
Method 2:
div * { margin: auto 0; }
DEMO
Try different width and height values on the img and different font size values on the span and you'll see they always remain in the middle of the container.
You have to apply vertical-align: middle to both elements to have it been centered perfectly.
<div>
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="http://lorempixel.com/60/60/">
<span style="vertical-align:middle">Perfectly centered</span>
</div>
The accepted answer does center the icon around half of the x-height of the text next to it (as defined in the CSS specs). Which might be good enough but can look a little bit off, if the text has ascenders or descenders standing out just at top or bottom:
On the left, the text is not aligned, on the right it is as shown above. A live demo can be found in this article about vertical-align.
Has anyone talked about why vertical-align: top works in the scenario? The image in the question is probably taller than the text and thus defines the top edge of the line box. vertical-align: top on the span element then just positions it at the top of the line box.
The main difference in behavior between vertical-align: middle and top is that the first moves elements relative to the box's baseline (which is placed wherever needed to fulfill all vertical alignments and thus feels rather unpredictable) and the second relative to the outer bounds of the line box (which is more tangible).
The technique used in the accepted answer works only for single-lined text (demo), but not multi-line text (demo) - as noted there.
If anyone needs to vertically center multi-lined text to an image, here are a few ways
(Methods 1 and 2 inspired by this CSS-Tricks article)
Method #1: CSS tables (FIDDLE) (IE8+ (caniuse))
CSS:
div {
display: table;
}
span {
vertical-align: middle;
display: table-cell;
}
Method #2: Pseudo element on container (FIDDLE) (IE8+)
CSS:
div {
height: 200px; /* height of image */
}
div:before {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-right: -0.25em; /* Adjusts for spacing */
}
img {
position: absolute;
}
span {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-left: 200px; /* width of image */
}
Method #3: Flexbox (FIDDLE) (caniuse)
CSS (The above fiddle contains vendor prefixes):
div {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
img {
min-width: 200px; /* width of image */
}
This code works in IE as well as FF:
<div>
<img style="width:auto; height:auto;vertical-align: middle;">
<span>It does work on all browsers</span>
</div>
Because you have to set the line-height to the height of the div for this to work
For the record, alignment "commands" shouldn't work on a SPAN, because it is an in-line tag, not a block-level tag. Things like alignment, margin, padding, etc won't work on an in-line tag because the point of inline is not to disrupt the text flow.
CSS divides HTML tags up into two groups: in-line and block-level. Search "css block vs inline" and a great article shows up...
http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/html-css/css-block-and-inline/
(Understanding core CSS principles is a key to it not being quite so annoying)
Basically, you'll have to get down to CSS3.
-moz-box-align: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
Use line-height:30px for the span so that text is align with the image:
<div>
<img style="width:30px; height:30px;">
<span style="line-height:30px;">Doesn't work.</span>
</div>
Another thing you can do is set the text's line-height to the size of the images within the <div>. Then set the images to vertical-align: middle;
That's seriously the easiest way.
Haven't seen a solution with margin in any of these answers yet, so here is my solution to this problem.
This solution only works if you know the width of your image.
The HTML
<div>
<img src="https://placehold.it/80x80">
<span>This is my very long text what should align. This is my very long text what should align.</span>
</div>
The CSS
div {
overflow:hidden;
}
img {
width:80px
margin-right:20px;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
span {
width:100%;
margin-right:-100px;
padding-right:100px;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
}
Write these span properties
span{
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Use display:inline-block; When you use vertical-align property.Those are assosiated properties
background:url(../images/red_bullet.jpg) left 3px no-repeat;
I generally use 3px in place of top. By increasing/decreasing that value, the image can be changed to the required height.
You can set image as inline element using display property
<div>
<img style="vertical-align: middle; display: inline;" src="https://placehold.it/60x60">
<span style="vertical-align: middle; display: inline;">Works.</span>
</div>
Using flex property in css.
To align text vertically center by using in flex using align-items:center; if you want to align text horizontally center by using in flex using justify-content:center;.
div{
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/30/30/" alt="small img" />
<span>It works.</span>
</div>
Using table-cell in css.
div{
display: table;
}
div *{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/30/30/" alt="small img" />
<span>It works.</span>
</div>
On a button in jQuery mobile, for instance, you can tweak it a bit by applying this style to the image:
.btn-image {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 0 3px 0;
}
Multiline solution:
http://jsfiddle.net/zH58L/6/
<div style="display:table;width:30px;height:160px;">
<img style="display:table-cell;width:30px;height:60px;padding:50px" src='...' />
<div style="display:table-cell;height:30px;vertical-align:middle">
Multiline text centered vertically
</div>
</div>
<!-- note: img (height + 2x padding) must be equal to root div height -->
Works in all browers and ie9+
It can be confusing, I agree. Try utilizing table features. I use this simple CSS trick to position modals at the center of the webpage. It has large browser support:
<div class="table">
<div class="cell">
<img src="..." alt="..." />
<span>It works now</span>
</div>
</div>
and CSS part:
.table { display: table; }
.cell { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; }
Note that you have to style and adjust the size of image and table container to make it work as you desire. Enjoy.
Display flex with align-items: center; is the best way for vertically align the items
div {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div>
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/30" alt="small img" />
<span>it works.</span>
</div>
div {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/30/30/" alt="small img" />
<span>It works.</span>
</div>
Firstly inline CSS is not recommended at all, it really mess up your HTML.
For aligning image and span, you can simply do vertical-align:middle.
.align-middle {
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div>
<img class="align-middle" src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ymxaR.png">
<span class="align-middle">I'm in the middle of the image! thanks to CSS! hooray!</span>
</div>
Not sure as to why it doesn't render it on your navigation's browser, but I normally use an snippet like this when trying to display a header with an image and a centered text, hope it helps!
https://output.jsbin.com/jeqorahupo
<hgroup style="display:block; text-align:center; vertical-align:middle; margin:inherit auto; padding:inherit auto; max-height:inherit">
<header style="background:url('http://lorempixel.com/30/30/') center center no-repeat; background-size:auto; display:inner-block; vertical-align:middle; position:relative; position:absolute; top:inherit; left:inherit; 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;">
<image src="http://lorempixel.com/60/60/" title="Img title" style="opacity:0.35"></img>
http://lipsum.org</header>
</hgroup>
In 2022 and with nearly 96% unprefixed browser support, I'm surprised no one has suggested the use of a grid layout.
In this JSFiddle, 3 lines are all that are necessary to achieve the OP's objective (but multiple alignments are presented for comparison):
div {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: min-content max-content;
align-items: center
}
An additional UI nicety would include the optional use of the gap property, which enables modulation of the space between each grid-item within the parent grid container (div).
Advantages of grid layout
Easy vertical AND horizontal alignment of grid-items
Modulation of space between grid-items
Any size image (using min-content) and text length (one line using max-content or wrapped (not shown in fiddle) using min-content) would work - no need to hard-code the image dimensions in the CSS (both usages demonstrated in the demonstrated in JSFiddle)
Modern approach
Disadvantages of grid layout
Older browser support is more challenging
Grid layouts generally require more experienced developers to implement properly - not as simple as block/inline-block display

You probably want this:
<div>
<img style="width:30px; height:30px;">
<span style="vertical-align:50%; line-height:30px;">Didn't work.</span>
</div>
As others have suggested, try vertical-align on the image:
<div>
<img style="width:30px; height:30px; vertical-align:middle;">
<span>Didn't work.</span>
</div>
CSS isn't annoying. You just don't read the documentation. ;P

How to vertical align the following content without using table cell

I have the following structure:
div {
display: table;
}
img {
display: table-cell;
}
span {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div>
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100" /> <span>Test</span>
</div>
It seems to work but I want to know if there is an alternative without using table. If I don't use table and just use:
span {vertical-align: middle;}
It doesn't work!
I appreciate any help.
Vertically align the image and the span.
HTML
<div>
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100" /> <span>Test</span>
</div>
CSS
img,
span {
vertical-align:middle;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/dc2jn8vk/
MDN's docs on vertical-align states:
The vertical-align CSS property specifies the vertical alignment of an inline or table-cell box.
So, alternatively you could set the span to be a display: inline-block, and the property will work (if the span has a height defined)
div {
}
img {
}
span {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100px;
}
<div>
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100" /> <span>Test</span>
</div>
If you want to do away with the tables altogether. You can check out
display: inline-block;
By using this on the img & span you can set vertical alignment via std css.
Here is a codepen example: http://codepen.io/sixthcore/pen/pvdMyp
A quick notice to remove any white space in the stacking using this the hack is to use the font-size: 0px value on the surrounding div. This does mean that you will need to specify the font-size: for the span.
this solution does not require the usage of tables. Hope that helps.

Displaying labels in the same row

I have this HTML code
<div style="display:inline" >
<div>
<label>NOM:</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
</div>
I got this result:
I need to change my code to get a result like this :
I need the two labels displayed in the same line and each div (parent to each label) having a width of 50 percent of the page's width.
How can i change my snipet to do that?
Thanks
Try something like this:
<div style="display:inline" >
<div style="float: left; width: 50%;">
<label>NOM:</label>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 50%;">
<label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
</div>
You need display inline for more than just the parent div.
div{
display:inline;
}
label{
display:inline;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/SVH5C/
add a class to your main div:
<div class="main">
<div >
<label>NOM:</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
</div>
and in your css:
.main div{width: 50%; float: left;}
Or if those inside divs are realy there just for the labels there's no need for them to exist and you can style the labels directly, like:
<div class="main">
<label>NOM:</label>
<label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
CSS:
.main label{display: block; width: 50%; float: left;}
HTML:
<div>
<div class="label-container">
<label>NOM:</label>
</div>
<div class="label-container">
<label >Ben felten</label>
</div>
<div class="labels-end"/>
</div>
CSS:
div.labels-end{
clear: both;
}
div.label-container{
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
And the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/RsK5N/3/
Div "labels-end" is not mandatory if labels spread over the entire width like in this case.
Without extra clear: both styled div browser will try to put the latter content in the same line as your labels. So it works without this div but only because there is no more width available.
You can also use inline-blocks and table-cells as follows.
Using inline-blocks
<div class="ex1">
<label>NOM:</label><label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
div.ex1 {
border: 1px dashed gray;
width: auto; /* will take the width of parent (page) container */
}
div.ex1 label {
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
background-color: beige;
overflow: auto;
vertical-align: top;
}
Using CSS table-cells
<div class="ex2">
<label>NOM:</label><label>Ben felten</label>
</div>
div.ex2 {
border: 1px dashed gray;
width: 100%; /* will take the width of parent (page) container */
display: table;
}
div.ex2 label {
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
background-color: beige;
}
If you use inline blocks, you need to be careful about any white space between the two label elements since any white space will add to the width of the line and will cause the second label to wrap to a second line. Use vertical-align: top to get rid of the extra white space below the labels which arises because of the inline formatting.
The extra white space issue does not arise with table-cells. Use width: 100% on the table div to make it fill up the width of the parent container (auto gives a shrink-to-fit width).
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Nb24q/
Comment: You don't need to wrap the label elements in div unless you need them for some other reason.

Vertically aligning h1 and keeping width at 100%

I have the following HTML:
<div class="section-cover dark-cyan" ng-style="{height: getCoverHeight()}">
<div class="container">
<h1 class="intro">Some intro text.</h1>
</div>
<div class="arrow-holder" ng-click="scrollTo('video-container');">
<span class="arrow"></span>
</div>
</div>
The .section-cover div changes height dynamically based on viewport size whenever the browser is resized. I need to align the <h1> element vertically inside the section-cover div. So far I've achieved that using display: table-cell however now I can't get the width to stick at 100%. Here's a JSFiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/AvrrM/
How can I modify this to vertically align the <h1> and keep the width at 100%?
Maybe something like this?
http://jsfiddle.net/AvrrM/1/
.section-cover {
position: relative;
display: table;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 100%;
}
.container{
display: table-cell;
background: red;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Why is itsn't working?? because table-cell is similar to html table, you need to provide a container which is table type before you can make the table-cell occupy the full width!!
working fiddle
add this CSS in your markup :
html, body {
width: 100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#table {
width: 100%;
display:table;
text-align:center;
}
HTML
<div id="table">
<div class="section-cover dark-cyan" style="background: blue; color: white; height: 200px">

div width with tabel-cell display

I want to vertically align my buttons in a div. I'm using 'display: table-cell' and 'vertical-align: middle'. The problem is that the containing div is being shrunk down to the size of both buttons instead of maintaining its original width.
jsFiddle: my table-cell demo
html:
<div class="container">
<div class="bar">
<input type="button" value="Click Me">
<input type="button" value="Click Me">
</div>
<div>​
css:
.container{ width: 600px;}
.bar{
background-color: blue;
//width: 100%;
height: 100px;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}.bar input{height: 60px;}
​
You can apply display:table-row to the container:
Source: http://jsfiddle.net/Ktnq9/
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Ktnq9/show
.container {
width: 600px;
table-layout: fixed;
display: table-row;
}
Add display: table; to .container.
if you're not concerned with the or the container they are in having a variable height, you could also achieve this by adding an equally sized margin to the container, and removing table-cell refs:
.bar input{margin: 30px 0;}
