If an image overflows its container and I want to crop it, it's easy enough from the right (the default action is that the image is anchored to the top left of the div) and there are various ways of cropping to the centre.
What I would like to do is crop from the left. In other words so that the image is anchored to the top and right of the enclosing div.
Needless to say I need a solution that works without knowing the div width and although I will know the image width, I don't see how this helps.
I can see the background image solution to this issue but it would be nice to use the image as an element so I can apply retina images. It would also be nice not to have to use Javascript.
Any ideas, hive mind?
If I come up with a partial solution I will paste the code but at the moment I'm unsure how to proceed.
Use flexbox and adjust the alignment:
.box {
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin:20px;
display:inline-flex;
vertical-align:top;
/* overflow:hidden uncomment this to hide the overflow*/
border:1px solid;
align-items:flex-start;
}
img {
opacity:0.4;
}
<div class="box">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/150/150?image=1069" >
</div>
<div class="box" style="align-items:center;justify-content:center;">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/150/150?image=1069" >
</div>
<div class="box" style="align-items:flex-end;">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/150/150?image=1069" >
</div>
<div class="box" style="align-items:flex-end;justify-content:flex-end;">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/150/150?image=1069" >
</div>
Flexbox can do that
div {
margin: 1em auto;
width: 200px;
border: 5px solid red;
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
overflow: hidden;
/* toggel to see overflow */
}
img {
display: block;
opacity: .5/* to show overflow */
}
<div>

I'm working for a client that had the super good idea to integrate a horizontal scroll effect into his one pager flow layout. That means that the user keeps scrolling down, but at some point the page starts moving from right to left instead of bottom to top. I implemented that via ScrollMagic.
So the problem starts when it gets responsive. When I start scrolling horizontally, the screen is now fixed to the device height and I need to extend my page content to the right when it flows out, instead of the normal "my content just flows out of the bottom, which I can follow by vertically scrolling".
My first idea was to kind of manually solve the problem when managing the content. I.E. giving different versions of content for mobile and desktop content. But it seems devices are just too different and I need a CSS solution.
My Question is: Do you have any idea of how to make content grow horizontally? Like height auto, but width "auto" (which doesn't work bc it's not the same)? Or like display: inline-block in the following example, but the outer wrapper (yellow border) wrapping all sub-boxes, not just the first column.
#wrapper {
display: inline-block;
border: 2px solid #ffff00;
}
#main {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: flex;
flex-flow: column wrap;
}
#main div {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}

EDIT:
After reading Temani Afifs Answer I found an additional specification of my problem: I need it to work with "column-width", so that I am able to write text which automatically expands to a second column when using up all vertical space. Pretty much just like here. The only reason the linked example is not perfect for me is that the wrapping container div does not expand and a scrollbar appears. I want to be able to add another .container-div to the right.
Maybe using CSS grid:
#wrapper {
display: inline-block;
background:yellow;
}
#main {
max-height: 100vh; /* don't take more than the screen height */
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
box-sizing:border-box;
display: grid;
grid-auto-flow: column; /* column flow */
/* fill all the column and wrap to the next one if no more space */
grid-template-rows: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(50px, 1fr));
}
#main div {
padding:20px;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="main">
<div style="background-color:coral;">A</div>

I am building a website and I am using 2000px wide images. I want the images to be visible on wide screens (like mine - im using TV as monitor) but the smaller screens will only see the images size adequate to their size. (rest will be cropped). The problem is that the image must be centered no matter what size the viewport is. I have used text-align:center; to make the text responsive. I did read the similar topics but no matter what I do the image stays static and not centered. Please help.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<img src="images/design/header.png">
</div>
<div class="nav-bar">
Home

Portfolio

<div class="side-bar">

</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>This is my content</h1>

<div class="footer">
<h1>This is my footer</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
#wrapper {
max-width: 2000px;
margin: -8px;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
One way is to use a responsive layout. Twitter Bootstrap provides the same by default.
Another way is by using #media tags. Refer http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_mediatypes.asp . Here, you will need to make a function like this: Get the screen size using mediacheck and then set up thresholds using #media.
Use the following css to make the image center. max-width:100% will fit the image if the container is smaller than the image width. the image width and height will be reduced to fit.
#wrapper > .header img
{
display: block;
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
margin:0 auto; /* to make the image center of its container, if container is larger than image size */
}
Update
If you know the exact height of the image, then please see this fiddle. Resize fullscreen to see the image cropping.
HTML:
<div class="position-img-outer">
<div class="position-img-inner">
<img src="http://placehold.it/1000x300" class="position-img" alt="img" style=" height: 300px; " />
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.position-img-outer
{
height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.position-img-outer .position-img-inner
{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
right: -50%;
}
.position-img-outer .position-img-inner .position-img
{
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
If you know the width of the images, you can use the following:
#wrapper .header img{
position:relative;
width:2000px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-1000px;
}
UPDATE:
To avoid a horizontal Scrollbar, you can set the container element to width:100% and overflow:hidden
#wrapper .header {
position:relative;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
I'm trying to center a div vertically in a parent div, where text is present. Here's what I've got:
It looks a little funny because the text seems to be centered properly, but the yellow boxes aren't. This is how I'm doing it:
.btn {
background-color: #ccc;
color: #000;
width: 200px;
border: solid 1px black;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
display: table-cell;
}
.square {
background-color: #ff0;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block;
}
.inner {
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="btn">
<div class="square"></div>
<div class="inner">Hello</div>
<div class="square"></div>
</div>
Should my usage of "table-cell" + vertical-align be working? I only care about html5, I'm really just targeting the latest versions of mobile safari, so don't have to worry about older browsers etc.
Here's a js fiddle of this:
http://jsfiddle.net/TrJqF/
Thanks
Set vertical-align:top on the square class. The extra space comes from space reserved for descendant text elements like j, g, y etc. that drop below the line.
jsFiddle example
Actually there is no difference between both the height. Apply yellow background color to inner class and see the difference in explicit and no height.
both square div doesn't have content and inner div have content. The css box aligning by itself based on its content. Add empty space to the square div as follows:
<div class="btn">
<div class="square"> </div>
<div class="inner">Hello</div>
<div class="square"> </div>
</div>
If you want you can add top and bottom margin 1 or 2 pixel which will show your expectation.
Some html:
<div style="height: 300px">
<div id="inner">
<div id="title">
...
</div>
<div id="content">
....
</div>
<div>
..another div
</div>
</div>
</div>
I want my inner div height to be not greater than parent div's and if it is greater then content div should have scroll, but if it is smaller it should be the same size with it's content.
I've tried to set inner's max_height=100%, but I can't make my content have scroll.
I want to do it without js
UPD: I do not know main div's height (300px is not constant)
UPD2: My main div has "max-height: 100%", so I do not know exact value
Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/kzfRk/7/
Not sure I understand, but if your scroll bars are not appearing try:
#inner{overflow-y:scroll;}
Is this what you had in mind? (colours are just for ease of viewing) See live here.
css
.container{
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#inner{
max-height:300px;
overflow-y: auto; border: 1px solid #f00;
}
#title{ background-color: #eed;}
#content{background-color: #fee;}
html
<div class='container'>
<div id="inner">
<div id="title">
...
</div>
<div id="content">
....
</div>
<div>
..another div
</div>
</div>
</div>
Do you have a live example? It's difficult to work out what you are trying to do.
Do you want the parent div to fill the screen and the content to scroll withing it? If so, give your parent div a height of 100% and try applying the following style to your inner div:
height:100%; min-height: 100%; overflow:auto;
You set your height then use overflow to control the scrolling.
#inner{max-height:100%;overflow-y:scroll;}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/calder12/drC3L/ Change the size of the outer div to anything you want, if there is too much content the inner div will scroll.
You need to set the inner div maximum height the same as the root div height. Using your fiddle, copy and paste the CSS below into your CSS file and it will work...
.container{
max-height: 100%;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.inner{
max-height: 100px;
overflow-y: auto; border: 1px solid #f00;
}
.root{
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid;
}

How can I vertically align elements in a div?
(28 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying to make a small username and password input box.
I would like to ask, how do you vertically align a div?
What I have is:
<div id="Login" class="BlackStrip floatright">
<div id="Username" class="floatleft">Username<br>Password</div>
<div id="Form" class="floatleft">
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" border="0"><br>
<input type="password" border="0">
</form>
</div>
</div>
How can I make the div with id Username and Form to vertically align itself to the center? I've tried to put:
vertical-align: middle;
in CSS for the div with id Login, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
The best approach in modern browsers is to use flexbox:
#Login {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Some browsers will need vendor prefixes. For older browsers without flexbox support (e.g. IE 9 and lower), you'll need to implement a fallback solution using one of the older methods.

Using CSS Flexible Boxes
This can be done with 3 lines of CSS and is compatible back to (and including) IE9:
.element {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}

You can vertically align a div in another div. See this example on JSFiddle or consider the example below.
HTML
<div class="outerDiv">
<div class="innerDiv"> My Vertical Div </div>
</div>
CSS
.outerDiv {
display: inline-flex; // <-- This is responsible for vertical alignment
height: 400px;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
.innerDiv {
margin: auto 5px; // <-- This is responsible for vertical alignment
background-color: green;
}
The .innerDiv's margin must be in this format: margin: auto *px;
[Where, * is your desired value.]
display: inline-flex is supported in the latest (updated/current version) browsers with HTML5 support.
It may not work in Internet Explorer :P :)
Always try to define a height for any vertically aligned div (i.e. innerDiv) to counter compatibility issues.
I'm pretty late to the party, but I came up with this myself and it's one of my favorite quick hacks for vertical alignment. It's crazy simple, and easy to understand what's going on.
You use the :before css attribute to insert a div into the beginning of the parent div, give it display:inline-block and vertical-align:middle and then give those same properties to the child div. Since vertical-align is for alignment along a line, those inline divs will be considered a line.
Make the :before div height:100%, and the child div will automatically follow and align in the middle of a very tall "line."
.parent:before, .child {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.parent:before {
content:""; // so that it shows up
height:100%; // so it takes up the full height
}
Here's a fiddle to demonstrate what I'm talking about. The child div can be any height, and you never have to modify its margins/paddings.
And here's a more explanatory fiddle.
If you're not fond of :before, you can always manually put in a div.
<div class="parent">
<div class="before"></div>
<div class="child">
content
</div>
</div>
And then just reassign .parent:before to .parent .before
If you know the height, you can use absolute positioning with a negative margin-top like so:
#Login {
width:400px;
height:400px;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin-left:-200px; /* width / -2 */
margin-top:-200px; /* height / -2 */
}
Otherwise, there's no real way to vertically center a div with just CSS
In my firefox and chrome work this:
CSS:
display: flex;
justify-content: center; // vertical align
align-items: center; // horizontal align
I found this site useful: http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/vertical-centering/
This worked for me:
HTML
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">Content here</div>
</div>
CSS
#parent {
padding: 5% 0;
}
#child {
padding: 10% 0;
}
#GáborNagy's comment on another post was the simplest solution I could find and worked like a charm for me, since he brought a jsfiddle I'm copying it here with a small addition:
CSS:
#wrapper {
display: table;
height: 150px;
width: 800px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#cell {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="cell">
<div class="content">
Content goes here
</div>
</div>
</div>
If you wish to also align it horizontally you'd have to add another div "inner-cell" inside the "cell" div, and give it this style:
#inner-cell{
width: 250px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Vertically aligning has always been tricky.
Here I have covered up some method of vertically aligning a div.
http://jsfiddle.net/3puHE/
HTML:
<div style="display:flex;">
<div class="container table">
<div class="tableCell">
<div class="content"><em>Table</em> method</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container flex">
<div class="content new"><em>Flex</em> method<br></div>
</div>
<div class="container relative">
<div class="content"><em>Position</em> method</div>
</div>
<div class="container margin">
<div class="content"><em>Margin</em> method</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
em{font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;}
.container {
width:200px;height:200px;background:#ccc;
margin: 5px; text-align: center;
}
.content{
width:100px; height: 100px;background:#37a;margin:auto;color: #fff;
}
.table{display: table;}
.table > div{display: table-cell;height: 100%;width: 100%;vertical-align: middle;}
.flex{display: flex;}
.relative{position: relative;}
.relative > div {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;right: 0;bottom: 0;}
.margin > div {position:relative; margin-top: 50%;top: -50px;}
http://jsfiddle.net/dvL512e7/
Unless the aligned div has fixed height, try using the following CSS to the aligned div:
{
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
display: table;
}
I needed to specify min-height
#login
display: flex
align-items: center
justify-content: center
min-height: 16em
if you are using fix height div than you can use padding-top according your design need.
or you can use top:50%. if we are using div than vertical align does not work so we use padding top or position according need.
simplest way to center your div element is to use this class with following properties.
.light {
margin: auto;
width: 50%;
border: 3px solid green;
padding: 10px;
}
Centering the child elements in a div. It works for all screen sizes
#parent {
background-color: red;
height: 160px;
display: flex;
/*vertical-align */
align-items: center;
/*horizontal align*/
justify-content: center;
}
#child {
background-color: orange;
height: 20px;
padding: 10px;
}
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">Content here</div>
</div>
I found a way that works great for me. The next script inserts an invisible image (same as bgcolor or a transparant gif) with height equal to half the size of the white-space on the screen. The effect is a perfect vertical-alignment.
Say you have a header div (height=100) and a footer div (height=50) and the content in the main div that you would like to align has a height of 300:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var screen = window.innerHeight;
var content = 150 + 300;
var imgheight = ( screen - content) / 2 ;
document.write("<img src='empty.jpg' height='" + imgheight + "'>");
</script>
You place the script just before the content that you want to align!
In my case the content I liked to align was an image (width=95%) with an aspect ratio of 100:85 (width:height).Meaning the height of the image is 85% of it's width. And the Width being 95% of the screenwidth.
I therefore used:
var content = 150 + ( 0.85 * ( 0.95 * window.innerWidth ));
Combine this script with
<body onResize="window.location.href = window.location.href;">
and you have a smooth vertical alignment.
Hope this works for you too!
have you try this one?
.parentdiv {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
height: 300px; // at least you have to specify height
}
hope this helps
divs can't be vertically aligned that way, you can however use margins or position:relative to modify its location.
