I have this HTML code:
<div class="col-md-3 center-block">
<div class="icon-circle">
<i class="fa fa-desktop"></i>
</div>
</div>
And this CSS:
.icon-circle {
float: none;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
The fa-desktop is aligned vertically and horizontally centered in the icon-circle class. Now I want to align the whole icon-circle within the col-md-3. But since there is display table cell, the display block in the center-block doesn't work. Do you have any idea how could I get it work?
the icon-circle parent need to be in table display mode
.col-md-3 {
display: table;
}

I have an inline-block element put inside a line of text:
.icon element has vertical-align: middle;, which results in this picture:
As you can see, the icon is not aligned with the middle of the text, it is a little bit lower, whilst the text alignment looks OK. The .button-content has line-height equal to the height of the parent. I tried to wrap the text elements around the icon:
And got this result:
The coin went up a little relatively to the text, whereas the whole line went down a pixel or two.
What is the proper way to align an inline-block element inside a lign of text? And what are these text chunks and how do they behave? Do they have display:inline; or something, because I can't see their properties in the DevTools?
Vertical-align doesn't work like you would think it would. It's used in HTML tables, but doesn't work in divs. It's been a pain for a while. Luckily, nowadays you can achieve this easily with flexbox.
To achieve this, wrap your two bits of copy in individual span elements, so your structure looks like:
<div class="button-content">
<span>buy for</span>
<div class="icon"></div>
<span>1000</span>
</div>
Then your css should look like this:
.button-content{
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 130px;
}
Or if you can't support flexbox, your .button-content can be set to display: table-cell; and the vertical-align: middle; should work.
I strongly recommend flexbox.
Unless your span elements are styled, the result will be the same with or without them.
With vertical-align: middle; position: relative; top: -1px; you can get some nice results.
.icon {
display: inline-block;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
background: blue
}
.top {
vertical-align: top;
}
.bottom {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
.middle {
vertical-align: middle;
}
.moveup {
position: relative;
top: -1px;
}
<div class="button">
<span>Buy for</span>
<div class="icon"></div>
<span>1000</span>
</div>
<div class="button">
Buy for
<div class="icon"></div>
1000
</div>
<hr>
<div class="button">
Buy for
<div class="icon top"></div>
1000 vertical-align: top;
</div>
<div class="button">
Buy for
<div class="icon bottom"></div>
1000 vertical-align: bottom;
</div>
<div class="button">
Buy for
<div class="icon middle"></div>
1000 vertical-align: middle;
</div>
<hr>
<div class="button">
Buy for
<div class="icon middle moveup"></div>
1000 vertical-align: middle; top: -1px;
</div>
Simple answer
I have not seen a simple answer yet, so I'll just post mine:
.icon_tpye-gold {
vertical-align: -5px; /* << or another value to center the inline element vertically */
}
A suggestion: be consistent with class names (so icon_type-gold is clearer when named icon_type_gold or icon-type-gold, this looks less sloppy)
The icon actually IS aligned vertically, but relating to the complete line-height, including the space below the baseline reserved for the descenders of characters like y, g, p etc . (also the y in your button Text)
You can try to add position: relative; and bottom: 3px; (try different values) to that inline-block to move it up.
I am creating a simple css chart responsive that works on any browser.
This is my code:
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="width:10%;height:20%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:40%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:80%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
</div>
But as you can see, the chart is inverted:
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/
I tried with:
position:relative;
bottom:0px;
but doesn't work:
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/1/
Use display: inline-block instead of float. The parent needs display: table-cell and vertical-align to align graph to bottom.
<style>
div {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
div div {
display: inline-block;
width: 10%;
background: #0ff;
}
</style>
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="height:20%;"></div>
<div style="height:40%;"></div>
<div style="height:80%;"></div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/4/
The problem is the float:left, using display: inline-block will get what you want:
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="width:10%;height:20%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:40%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:80%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
</div>
All about floats from CSS-tricks explains when to use floats and this display types answer details why floats are not the best option.
I am using Twitter Bootstrap and its grid layout and in one column I am trying to get an image pulled to the right and a text pulled to the right next to the image as well while they should both be vertically centered. With the image it's easy - I made the class img-responsive and added padding to that column and a pull-right to the image so it sits well, however the text doesn't seem to center whatever I try.
I tried applying this to the column:
.center{
display : table-cell;
vertical-align : middle;
float:none;
}
and it seemed to work when there's only text, however with the image included it won't.
Here is my code for the column:
<div class="col-md-3 col-xs-6 col-md-push-4 equalcolumn" id="namecolumn">
<img class="pull-right img-circle img-responsive" id="myimage" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Super_Mario_Bros._box.png" alt="">
<h4 class="pull-right" id="nametext">Welcome!</h4>
</div>
And CSS:
#namecolumn {
padding: 1vh;
}
.img-responsive {
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Thanks!
h4 is a block element, so set it as inline-block and give vertical-align:middle; to both img and h4 , so they center to each other on the baseline.
#myimage, #nametext {
display:inline-block;/* defaut display of img tag */
vertical-align:middle;
}
You will need to cretae 2 wrapper divs that have a value of display: table and display: table-cell. Then you can use vertical-align: middle.
DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/Fa8Xx/1750/
CSS
.wrapper {
height: 100%;
display: table;
}
.wrapper-inner {
height: 100%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="wrapper-inner">
<div class="col-md-3 col-xs-6 col-md-push-4 equalcolumn" id="namecolumn">
<img class="pull-right img-circle img-responsive" id="myimage" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Super_Mario_Bros._box.png" alt="" />
<h4 class="pull-right" id="nametext">Welcome!</h4>
</div>
</div>

I'm using Twitter Bootstrap and I'm trying to create a grid with centered rows of three span3 divs.
I have tried to achieve this by wrapping the three span3s in a centered span9, but that doesn't seem to work.
My problem is that the divs don't center correctly and as I'm new to HTML and CSS I would really need some help. Thanks!
HTML
<div class="row">
<div class="span9 center">
<div class="span3">
<p>THUMBNAIL1</p>
</div>
<div class="span3">
<p>THUMBNAIL2</p>
</div>
<div class="span3">
<p>THUMBNAIL3</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
etc.
CSS:
.center {
float: none;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
align: center;
}
Instead of using:
align: center;
Use:
text-align: center;
align is not a css rule though I guess that you got it from the syntax of align as an attribute on the tag
You could also put them inside and element with position relative and then inside have them with:
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: (0, 50%);
You can also use this:
.span3 {
display: inline-block;
clear: both;
}
.span9 {
text-align: center;
}

The body of my html document consists of 3 elements, a button, a form, and a canvas. I want the button and the form to be right aligned and the canvas to stay left aligned. The problem is when I try to align the first two elements, they no longer follow each other and instead are next to each other horizontally?, heres the code I have so far, I want the form to follow directly after the button on the right with no space in between.
#cTask {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
#button {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#addEventForm {
position: relative;
float: right;
border: 2px solid #003B62;
font-family: verdana;
background-color: #B5CFE0;
padding-left: 10px;
}

Floats are okay, but problematic with IE 6 & 7.
I'd prefer using the following on the inner div:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 0;
See the IE Double Margin Bug for clarification on why.
You can make a div that contains both the form & the button, then make the div float to the right by setting float: right;.
Old answers. An update: use flexbox, pretty much works in all browsers now.
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-end">
<div>I'm on the right</div>
</div>
And you can get even fancier, simply:
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around">
<div>Left</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
And fancier:
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around">
<div>Left</div>
<div>Middle</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
You can use flexbox with flex-grow to push the last element to the right.
<div style="display: flex;">
<div style="flex-grow: 1;">Left</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
Note that while this answer is not wrong, it is very outdated methodology written in 2015
Other answers for this question are not so good since float:right can go outside of a parent div (overflow: hidden for parent sometimes might help) and margin-left: auto, margin-right: 0 for me didn't work in complex nested divs (I didn't investigate why).
I've figured out that for certain elements text-align: right works, assuming this works when the element and parent are both inline or inline-block.
Note: the text-align CSS property describes how inline content like text is aligned in its parent block element. text-align does not control the alignment of block elements itself, only their inline content.
An example:
<div style="display: block; width: 80%; min-width: 400px; background-color: #caa;">
<div style="display: block; width: 100%">
I'm parent
</div>
<div style="display: inline-block; text-align: right; width: 100%">
Caption for parent
</div>
</div>
Here's a JS Fiddle.
If you have multiple divs that you want aligned side by side at the right end of the parent div, set text-align: right; on the parent div.
Do you mean like this? http://jsfiddle.net/6PyrK/1
You can add the attributes of float:right and clear:both; to the form and button
Maybe just:
margin: auto 0 auto auto;
Simple answer is here:
<div style="text-align: right;">
anything:
<select id="locality-dropdown" name="locality" class="cls" style="width: 200px; height: 28px; overflow:auto;">
</select>
</div>
Sometimes float: left leads to design problems, for that cases you can use display flex like this:
.right {
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 0;
}
<div>
<div class="right">Right</div>
</div>
If you are using bootstrap, then:
<div class="pull-right"></div>
One way could be setting a parent div for those elements that need to be pulled right and do the rest like the way shown in the the example below to have them right-aligned:
.parent-div {
display: flex;
float: right;
}
/*Below: child-div styling is not needed for this purpose! this is just for demonstration:*/
.child-div {
text-align: center;
background-color: powderblue;
margin: auto 10px;
height: 100px;
width: 50px;
}
<div class="">CANVAS div </div>
<div class="parent-div">
<div class="child-div">child 1</div>
<div class="child-div">child 2</div>
<div class="child-div">...</div>
<div class="child-div">child n</div>
</div>
If you don't have to support IE9 and below you can use flexbox to solve this: codepen
There's also a few bugs with IE10 and 11 (flexbox support), but they are not present in this example
You can vertically align the <button> and the <form> by wrapping them in a container with flex-direction: column. The source order of the elements will be the order in which they're displayed from top to bottom so I reordered them.
You can then horizontally align the form & button container with the canvas by wrapping them in a container with flex-direction: row. Again the source order of the elements will be the order in which they're displayed from left to right so I reordered them.
Also, this would require that you remove all position and float style rules from the code linked in the question.
Here's a trimmed down version of the HTML in the codepen linked above.
<div id="mainContainer">
<div>
<canvas></canvas>
</div>
<div id="formContainer">
<div id="addEventForm">
<form></form>
</div>
<div id="button">
<button></button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the relevant CSS
#mainContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#formContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
hasnt been mentioned. if there are 2 elements (even if one is an empty div) it will place one on the left and one on the right.
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between;">
<div id="emptyDiv"></div>
<div>I'm on the right</div>
</div>
You can simply use padding-left:60% (for ex) to align your content to right and simultaneously wrap the content in responsive container (I required navbar in my case)
to ensure it works in all examples.
You can do it easy by just add this css:
(Works in IE11)
<div>
<!-- Subtract with the amount of your element width -->
<span style="margin-left: calc(100vw - 50px)">Right</span>
</div>
I know this is an old post but couldn't you just use <div id=xyz align="right"> for right.
You can just replace right with left, center and justify.
