items-center only works with smaller font - css

I'm using TailwindCSS to create a rounded button with a "+" in the middle. I'm using a flexbox to centre the plus character horizontally and vertically.
Vertical alignment starts going off if I increase the font size of the plus character too much. If I keep it small it works fine.
The current code is:
<div className="w-20 h-20 rounded-full bg-primary fixed bottom-10 right-10 cursor-pointer">
<div className="flex h-full justify-center items-center text-secondary text-5xl p-0">+</div>
</div>
and renders into this:

Cropped Full screen oval border with text inside with CSS text

I am struggling to imagine the best way to accomplish a layout I am trying to achieve which includes a static sized oval that is cropped for smaller screens and which contains text inside it that will respond based on the breakpoint.
The design is like this:
So far, I'm here:
I'm trying to achieve this by creating the Oval outside my container div then putting on negative margin on the text to give it the appearance it is inside the oval. I feel like this isn't the right approach.
Currently set up (using Tailwind):
<section id="reading">
<div class="mt-12 border border-black rounded-[50%] overflow-hidden w-[686px] h-72"></div>
<div class="flex flex-col mx-auto md:container">
<div class="self-center justify-center px-8 text-center uppercase -my-80 py-28 text-ts3 font-title-preset">Text Headline Goes Here</div>
</div>
</section>
In my head, for the oval, I would just do margin:auto; overflow:hidden, and width:100% on the div, but that isn't working.
Any pointers on how you would approach this from a better practice perspective?
Thanks!
The approach you're taking separates the oval from the content within. A better way would be to keep them together by wrapping them both in a relatively positioned div and making the oval absolutely positioned to the top and center (then using a transform to center again which is a common pattern) and adding overflow-hidden to the relatively positioned element.
Not sure what your text-ts3 class is meant to do since you did not share your config. But this example uses a few breakpoints with text size classes defined for each and some negative top margin on the text to make things look more vertically centered. Here is the example running on Tailwind Play https://play.tailwindcss.com/3zWymGzXPn
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
</head>
<section id="reading" class="border border-transparent pt-12">
<div class="overflow-hidden relative mx-auto md:container h-72">
<div class="border border-black rounded-[50%] w-[686px] h-full absolute top-0 left-1/2 -translate-x-1/2"></div>
<div class="h-full flex items-center justify-center max-w-[686px] mx-auto">
<div class="text-center uppercase -mt-4 sm:-mt-6 md:-mt-8 text-5xl sm:text-6xl md:text-7xl max-w-xs sm:max-w-sm">Text Headline Goes Here</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
You can set the width of the oval to 120% (or a fixed with per breakpoint) and the shrink to 0, so it does not shrink.
<section id="reading">
<div class="flex h-screen w-full justify-center overflow-hidden bg-yellow-100">
<div class="mt-12 flex h-56 w-[120%] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-[50%] border border-slate-300">
<div class="font-semibold">text goes here.</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>

TailwindCSS angled border

I have managed to create a border which is cut at an angle in the following way ->
https://play.tailwindcss.com/b9oILu69my
Basically, I have a big container, inside of it I have a smaller container where I'm placing the border and setting the color of the bottom/right borders to transparent, in this way achieving what I am looking for.
Now I am trying to do the same thing, however, I want the border to be placed on the bottom-right side instead of the top-left
I've tried hundreds of variations of the code shown in the playground, but to no avail.
To be even more precise in what exactly I am trying to achieve ->
Detailed example
Any help would be appreciated!
I would take a somewhat different approach, by using an absolute positioned rotated div, within a div with overflow-hidden. If you keep the main image (the yellow square) centered with m-auto, the border will be the same size on both sides. On the yellow div you need to set a z-index that is higher then the rotated div.
<div class="flex min-h-screen flex-col justify-center overflow-hidden bg-gray-50 py-6 sm:py-12">
<div class="relative flex m-auto h-40 w-40 overflow-hidden rounded-lg">
<div class="absolute top-8 left-8 m-auto h-96 w-96 bg-blue-200 rotate-45"></div>
<div class="top-3 z-30 right-3 m-auto rounded-lg h-32 w-32 bg-yellow-300"></div>
</div>
</div>
You can find my Tailwind playground example here
You can play with the height and width of the div’s using arbitrary values, like w-[48rem] and rotate-[60deg].
Edit: this example looks more like yours.
Hope this helps.

Why does altering the code position of an absolutely positioned element in html alter its screen position?

Consider the following button:
<button class="relative flex flex-row items-center justify-center w-56 h-[52px] space-x-2 bg-gray-400">
<div class='absolute top-0 left-0 flex items-center justify-center w-6 h-6 text-[11px] font-light text-white rounded-full bg-blue-600'>4</div>
<span class="text-xl font-medium text-black">Notifications</span>
</button>
Here, the absolutely positioned div is affecting the position of the span following it in the code. However, if we move the div to after the span, the absolutely position div behaves as expected and is removed from the flow of the document.
I've never experienced this before, which is why I'm writing in. I've always understood an absolutely positioned element will be positioned absolutely regardless of where it's placed in the parent container.
There's a reproducible example here
Edit: I have tried removing any flexbox styling from the div, but it makes no difference
Making the div absolute won't stop it acquiring the margin applied to it via space-x-2 when it's not the first visible child.

w-screen and h-screen of tailwind are breaking the responsiveness

I am trying to make a 404 page with Nextjs and typescript. Here are the screenshots:

Is this happening because of h-screen and w-screen or is something wrong with flex? But if I don't use them, I don't make it to work as I am expecting which is placing one div above the other (absolute). I am probably looking at this code for too long and I am lost in space.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks.
I would suggest to have a parent relative div
<div class="h-screen w-screen relative">
<!-- 404 -->
<div class="bg-gray-900 flex justify-center items-center absolute inset-0 z-0"> // inset-0 is important
<svg></svg>
</div>
<!-- content -->
<div class="flex justify-center items-center absolute inset-0 z-10">
</div>
</div>
I replicated your design.
I would recommend changing h-screen to min-h-screen.
You can check out an example using your code in the following link.
https://play.tailwindcss.com/eD7VEDN5AR
"width: 100vw" is breaking the page layout. There's a horizontal scrollbar appearing on the page.
That's because the w-screen property means "width: 100vw" (the element with such a property is supposed to consume the whole available device screen space horizontally).
As you have a vertical scrollbar on the page body () (as the body is probably bigger in height than the screen height (= 100vh)), you'll always have less gorizontal space than 100vw, as the horizontal space is also consumed by the vertical scrollbar.
It's not a TailwindCSS-related issue, but rather a CSS-related bug.
The vertical scrollbar's width is usually ~12 px, but it differs between OS'es and screen sizes.
What I think would be better is if CSS would count the available screen width for the 100vw property considering the scrollbar width, like 100vw = real screen width - (vertical scrollbar's width, if one is present).
"(height: 100vh // max-height: 100vh)" is breaking the page layout. There's a vertical scrollbar appearing
That's because the w-screen property means "width: 100vw" (the element with such a property is supposed to consume the whole available device screen space horizontally).
As you have a vertical scrollbar on the page body () (as the body is probably bigger in width than the screen width (= 100vw)), you'll always have less vertical space than 100vh, as the vertical space is also consumed by the horizontal scrollbar.
The horizontal scrollbar's width is usually ~12 px, but it differs between OS'es and screen sizes.
For this case CSS could count the property for the 100vh value like 100vh = real screen height - (horizontal scrollbar's height, if one is present).
What can be done now:
You better use width: 100% and height: 100% properties instead of width: 100vw and height: 100vh
It's always risky to use the vh and vw values. Why would you need that? Semantically, the child should always be smaller than the parent.
This is the same ugly workaround as hiding the problems with overflowing with "overflow-x: hidden".
So your code should look like:
import Link from "next/link";
import { useRouter } from "next/router";
import React from "react";
interface Props {}
const ErrorPage: React.FC<Props> = ({}) => {
const router = useRouter();

In the case of TailwindCSS, you should use h-full and w-full instead of h-screen and w-screen.
Also, in your specific case it's this line that was breaking everything, most likely:
<div className="h-screen w-screen flex justify-center items-center relative z-10">
As you already have this applied to the parent element:
<div className="bg-gray-900 h-screen w-screen flex justify-center items-center absolute z-0">
It's all wrong semantically in your code. This is ugly work-arounding.
You haven't provided the tailwind.config.js, so some of the colors in the demo are missing due to missing custom TailwidnCSS class names values.
But this is basically the same code with an exception of eplacing all -screen properties with -full and also removing the bottom padding of the svg, as on most of the screens, the svg has too much spacing and then consumes >100vh space of the screen and is not positioned at the center vertically, but rather has starneg white space at the bottom of the page.

Adjust Scale / Zoom of All Items - Tailwind

I'm currently using Tailwind / TailwindUI and I would like to scale down ALL items.
Eg I go to my website and Zoom out so everything becomes smaller and the zoom level is 85%
I would like my website to appear at this scale (85%) when a normal user visits.
How would I go about doing this in tailwind?
You can use transform & scale property to achieve this.
Just add transform along with the scale-95 etc.
Visit for more reference :-
https://tailwindcss.com/docs/scale
https://tailwindcss.com/docs/transform
A simple solution to this is using the browser's built in zoom functionality.
document.body.style.zoom = "85%"
I've tested this on Chrome 101.
This is functional Alpine.js component that achieves dynamically changing browser's zoom percentage:
<div x-data="{zoom:100}" class="flex bg-teal-600 text-white mx-3 my-2 rounded-md text-sm font-medium">
<div #click="document.body.style.zoom = `${zoom-=10}%`" class="bg-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-400 text-gray-800 font-bold py-1 px-2 pl-3 rounded-l">-</div>
<div x-text="zoom" class="px-2 pt-1"></div>
<div #click="document.body.style.zoom = `${zoom+=10}%`" class="bg-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-400 text-gray-800 font-bold py-1 px-2 rounded-r">+</div>
</div>
