Vertical alignment on text and fontawesome icon - css

I want to create a custom alert box with bootstrap.
But the vertical aligment of the text and the icon, does not work. So here`s the code:
HTML:
<div class="alert-box alert-box-info text-center clearfix" style="display: inline-block;">
<i class="fa fa-info text-info pull-left"></i>
<div class="text text-info"><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</p></div>
</div>
CSS:
.alert-box
{
margin: 20px 0;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: inline-block;
height: 100px;
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box .text {
margin: 0px;
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box-info
{
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4
{
color: #5bc0de;
}
The jsFiddle Demo
Can somebody tell me, why the vertical alignment does not work and how I can fix that?

Answer was completely updated as a result of the answer to this question.
Your layout should be achievable with flex-box. Just add on the container:
display: flex;
align-items:center;
Anything table related of vertical align related should be removed from all places. You can create your desired layout by forcing table layout on some elements, but that is not the way to go here since you don't have a real table and tabular data.
Note: We need to explicitly add flex-shrink: 0 on the small columns on the edges because of a Chrome bug (just fixed for FF 34) that causes incorrect shrinking. According to the specs, there should not happen any shrinking by default.
Demo:
.alert-box
{
margin: 20px;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: flex;
align-items:center;
height: 100px
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
.alert-box .text {
margin: 0px;
flex-grow: 1;
}
.alert-box-info
{
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4
{
color: #5bc0de;
}
.alert-btn {
flex-shrink: 0;
}

<div class="alert-btn">Test</div>
</div>

Simplest way is to change style of div:
<div class="alert-box alert-box-info text-center clearfix" style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">

JavaScript is the best option here. I've added transition for line-height for smooth alignment.
Fiddle
function doMath() {
document.getElementsByClassName('fa-info')[0].style.lineHeight = document.getElementsByClassName('text')[0].clientHeight + 'px';
}
doMath();
window.onresize = doMath;
.alert-box {
margin: 20px 0;
border: 1px solid #dbdbdb;
display: table;
}
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
display: table-cell;
transition: line-height 0.1s;
}
.alert-box .text {
padding: 20px;
margin: 0px;
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.alert-box-info {
background: #f4f8fa;
border-bottom: 3px solid #5bc0de;
}
.alert-box-info h4 {
color: #5bc0de;
}

<div class="alert-box alert-box-info text-center clearfix" style="display: inline-block;"> <i class="fa fa-info text-info pull-left"></i>
<div class="text text-info">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</p>
</div>
</div>

The easiest way to vertical align a text if it has only 1 row is the line-height properties:
.alert-box .fa {
font-size: 40px;
padding-left: 20px;
line-height: 100px;
}

“white-space: nowrap;” destroys flexbox layout: Why?

This is my code:
* {
font-size: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div {
height: 100vh;
}
#one {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
}
#two,
#four {
width: 45px;
background-color: blue;
}
#three {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
}
#button,
#text {
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 10px;
}
#text {
width: 100%;
/* overflow: auto;
white-space: nowrap; */
}
<div id="one">
<div id="two">
</div>
<div id="three">
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</div>
<div id="button">Button</div>
</div>
<div id="four">
</div>
</div>
I want to add white-space: nowrap; for the text (#text), but it destroys the layout, the areas with the blue backgrounds get lost. I saw that adding min-width: 0; or min-height: 0; could help, but it doesn't work in this case.
Has somebody an idea to fix that? Would be very thankful. :)
For clarifying: The text from #text should stay in one line, that's all.
What is happening?
The divs two, three and four are had the flex property set to its default values:
div {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-base: auto
}
Which means that for each div should: calculate the "best" width (flex-base: auto), if there is enough space for the three divs there is no need to grow to fill it (flex-grow: 0), if there isn't enough space shrink them proportionally (flex-shrink: 1).
When you put white-space: nowrap; in the three div, there is not enough space (since it "best" width will be as much as is needed to hold the single long line of text.
Solution:
Add flex-shrink: 0 to the blue divs, and flex-grow: 1 and overflow: auto to the central div. This way, the blue divs will always have 45px width, and the central one will always fill the remaining space.
UPDATE
Since you now have a new div and button inside div three, there is a few additional changes: We'll make div three also a flex container, and set flex-grow and flex-shrink to appropriate values for the inner text and button.
* {
font-size: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div {
height: 100px; /* You'll probably want a lower height */
}
#one {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
}
#two,
#four {
flex-shrink: 0; /* no shrink */
width: 45px;
background-color: blue;
}
#three {
display: flex;
flex-grow: 1; /* fill all available space */
width: 0px; /* will grow from 0px to fill all space*/
}
#text {
flex-grow: 1; /* fill all available space */
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 10px;
white-space: nowrap; /* moved from "#three" */
overflow: auto; /* moved from "#three" */
}
#button {
flex-shrink: 0; /* no shrink */
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 10px;
}
<div id="one">
<div id="two">
</div>
<div id="three">
<div id="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</div>
<div id="button">Button</div>
</div>
<div id="four">
</div>
</div>
According to MDN, setting white-space: nowrap "suppresses line breaks (text wrapping) within the source." This means that all of your line breaks will be gone for that element and it will go on horizontally as long as there is text.
But to keep everything within the viewport and keep the blue bars around the text, you should first wrap your Lorem Ipsum text in a p tag or other text element, and then change your CSS to something like this:
:root {
--bar_width: 45px;
}
* {
font-size: 40px;
font-family: Arial;
color: blue;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
div {
height: 100vh;
}
#one {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100vw;
}
#two,
#four {
width: var(--bar_width);
background-color: blue;
}
#three p {
max-width: calc(95vw - (2 * var(--bar_width)));
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: scroll;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

</div>
<div id="four">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This adds an overflow property set to scroll so that the text can be reached without it streching out the viewport. I also set the max width the element can take up so that CSS knows when to start cutting off the text. I also added flex-direction: row; justify-content: space-between; to your #one selector so that the elements space out horizontally.
You can now change the max-width property set in the #three p selector to any value you want and the text (with scroll) will be centered between the blue bars.
You need to set the flex-basis property of div#three, div#two, and div#four to something like 33.3%
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/flex-basis
You're also setting the height of all divs to 100vh, and when the overflow occurs on your inner block elements, it doesn't know where to stop unless you truncate the text: https://css-tricks.com/flexbox-truncated-text/

Aberrant Flexbox behavior in Safari

I ran into some weird flexbox behavior on safari and was hoping someone could explain it.
Codepen of minimal example
Snippet:
// Culprits
// If any of these are removed, the strange behavior goes away {}
.container {
display: flex;
}
.parent {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.child {
display: flex;
flex: 0;
}
// Setup {}
.container {
border: 1px solid green;
}
.parent {
border: 1px solid red;
}
.child {
border: 2px solid blue;
width: 200px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It works fine in Chrome and FF, but on safari, the .child collapses — presumably because of the flex-grow: 0. What's going on?

I have problem with padding text next to an img

I want to place text next to an image and add padding to it. I have both text and image in one box, so that may be problem. I also need site to be mobile friendly.
Here is my code:
.content-title {
font-size: 50px;
}
#section-a ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
}
#tiso {
position: static;
padding: 0px;
height: auto;
float: left;
max-width: 800px;
max-height: 800px;
}
#tiso_text {
padding: 3em;
text-align: center;
}
<section id="section-a" class="grid">
<div class="content-wrap">
<ul class="obr">
<img src="IMG/tiso.png" alt="Tiso-main" id="tiso">
<h1 class="content-title">Jozef Tiso</h1>
<li class="textcontent">
<p id="tiso_text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptate obcaecati et porro quidem iure, odio.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
Now, it works when the browser is resized to minimum, but it doesn't work on full. I know why, see image below, I just don't know how to fix that.
Image of what I have, and what I need.
so here is my solution, i hope its that what you wanted..
.content-title {
font-size: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.item {
max-width: 300px;
float: left;
padding: 20px 3rem;
}
#tiso {
position: static;
padding: 0px;
height: auto;
float: left;
max-width: 800px;
max-height: 800px;
display: block;
}
#tiso_text {
text-align: center;
}
<section id="section-a" class="grid">
<div class="content-wrap">
<div class="box">
<img src="IMG/tiso.png" alt="Tiso-main" id="tiso">
<div class="item">
<h1 class="content-title">Jozef Tiso</h1>
<p id="tiso_text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
Voluptate obcaecati et porro quidem iure, odio.
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>

Trouble with layout, need scroll down to see footer

This is my .html file with a wrapper that contains the header with the menu - sidebar - a div for the content :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css?v=1">
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<header id="header"> Header - Menu</header>
<div class = "central-body">
<div id = "sidebar">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
<div id = "main-content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</div>
</div>
<footer> </footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is my css:
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
body{
background-color: black;
}
.wrapper{
height: 100%;
}
#header{
background-color: blue;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
}
.central-body{
height: 100%;
width:100%;
background-color: purple;
}
#sidebar{
height: 100%;
width: 20%;
background-color: yellow;
float: left;
}
#main-content{
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
footer{
width:100%;
height: 40px;
background-color: red;
}
My problem is that i have to scroll down "40px" to see my footer, even if there are few words in "sidebar" and "main-content". How can i fix that?
You can make the .central-bodyheight 100% minus the height of the header and the footer like this:
height:calc(100% - 80px) //header 40px + footer 40px
We're using calc for this to work.
(This will also work if we do the calc on the .wrapper)
Here is an working example
Code:
.central-body {
height:calc(100% - 80px);
}

CSS Text Background-Color gets cut off

First of all, this is the guideline aswell as what I want to achieve:
It doesn't need to look a 100% alike but at least one space at each EndOfLine should be given. Well, this is what happens when I try to do it:
As you can see, the end of the first line as well as the beginning of the second line have no space to the border. The start of the first line and the end of the second line on the other hand, do have a space.
Here is my HTML- & CSS-Markup.
<div class="headline-h2">
<h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum.</h2>
</div>
h2 {
background-color: #000000;
clear: left;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: inline;
float: left;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 4px;
position: relative;
}
.headline-h2 {
float: left;
margin-bottom: 28px !important;
width: 100%;
}
I already tried a few things but I cannot for my life work this thing out.
I also have to add that the text is variable, therefore it could be something completely different if the customer wants it.
Also it needs to be said that we EXPLICITLY need this for an inline-element. I know that it works with block.
Why not just add padding to your h2:
h2 {
background-color: #000000;
clear: left;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
position: relative;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
