Image inside of div not centering - css

I can't seem to centre an image inside of a div.
the image not centered is the "quotimg" which is inside of the div quotejd which is inside of div head.
Currently learning some css and html (not supposed to use html5 elements)
HTML
<div class="head">
<div class="quotejd">
<img id="quoteimg" src="pictures/quotes/jd.png">
<p id="quote">“The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love<br> are dogs and infants.”</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.Head {
background-image: url('pictures/dogwallpaper1.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
height: 550;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.quotejd {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
#quoteimg {
width: 5em;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
display: block;
float: none;
}
#quote {
font-size: 1.8em;
line-height: 1em;
margin: 0 auto;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px rgba(57,57,57,1);
font-family: 'Nixie One', cursive;
text-align: center;
color: #ffffff;
}

This tripped me up when I was learning CSS too. Try setting the div surrounding your image (with the class .quotejd) to a set width (i.e. width:960px). The auto value of margin doesn't know how to center it otherwise.

Materialize divier with text in the middle

Hi to all out there familiar with materialize.
I would like to make the divider:
<div class="divider"></div>
Look similar to this:
It is basically the divier with text in the middle.
Does anyone have a solution? If not with material divier even with other html and css would be fine
Thanks
I am a fan of wrapping the text with a div with a fixed height. Then position: relative the text inside the div. See the snippet below.
.wrapper {
background-color: black;
height: 1px;
margin: 32px 0 0;
text-align: center;
}
span {
position: relative;
top: -8px;
padding: 0 15px;
font-weight: 500;
border-radius: 4px;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 1em;
color: #000000;
background: #ffffff;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<span>OR</span>
</div>

text background new line padding issue

I am dealing with text blocks (background blocks over text) and face some issues with paddings on new line. The problem occurs when the browser(e.g. mobile) cuts the text into to two lines due to lack of width. text then looks like this:
I don't really know how to set a padding css on the end of the new lines, since it could break up anywhere of the sentence. You could say put a span on it with padding, but it is not fixed where the line will break down. It depends on the width. Any recommendations?
You could apply display: inline-block but that will turn the background color into an ugly box which doesn't look as nice as having an exact width background for each line. Unfortunately CSS doesn't let us target individual lines except for the first one.
If you don't mind getting a little "creative" (or hacky) you could wrap each word in its own element in the backend or using JavaScript and apply the background color to those elements. Adjust the parent's word-spacing accordingly to eliminate gaps.
.main {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #99c;
display: flex;
height: 400px;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
.text-container {
max-width: 500px;
display: inline-block;
word-spacing: -15px;
position: relative;
padding-left: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.text-container::before {
content: '';
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 20px;
height: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
span {
font-size: 36px;
line-height: 1.5em;
color: white;
background-color: black;
padding: 0.25em 0.5em 0.25em 0;
max-width: 360px;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="text-container">
<span>A</span> <span>Movie</span> <span>in</span> <span>the</span> <span>park:</span> <span>Kung</span> <span>Fu</span> <span>Panda</span>
</div>
</div>
You can use box-shadow for this issue and display inline:
<div class="text">
<span class="text-container">A Movie in the park: Kung Fu Panda</span>
</div>
And css:
.text > span {
display: inline;
box-shadow: 25px 0 0 black, -10px 0 0 black;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
Try to add after "Park:" and before "Kung"
padding workded!!!
change width by console browser and see result:
h1{
background-color: #ff6a6a;
padding: 33px;
display: inline-block;
word-wrap: break-word;
width:300px
}
<h1>rert ert erttttttttttttttt 00000000000000000000 dfgdfgd dfgdfgdft ertert </h1>
Use <p> tag to wrap up the text and it apparently works demo
<div class="main">
<div class="text-container">
<p id="test">A Movie in the park: Kung Fu Panda</p>
</div>
</div>
css
.main {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #99c;
display: flex;
height: 400px;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
.text-container {
max-width: 400px;
}
p {
font-size: 36px;
line-height: 2em;
color: white;
background-color: black;
padding: 0.5em;
max-width: 360px;
}

Text not in center of Line Height

I am trying to center two spans horizontally in a 150px div. I thought the simplest way of doing this world be to set the line-height of each of the spans to 150px, but for some reason, the text is not being centered when I try this method.
Here is my code:
HTML:
<div class="top">
<img src="/wp-content/themes/shipping/images/TV.png" />
<span class="cantstop">CAN'T STOP</span> <span class="shipping">Shipping</span>
</div>
CSS:
.top {
height: 150px;
padding: 10px 0;
}
.top img {
max-height: 100px;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.cantstop {
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 150px;
font-size: 45px;
margin: auto 0;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 0px rgba(129,93,150,0.5);
}
.shipping {
font-family: 'Grand Hotel', cursive;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 75px;
line-height: 150px;
margin: auto 0;
text-shadow: 4px 4px 0px rgba(217,144,178,1);
}
You can see the issue in action at cantstopshipping.com
Thank you for your time.
Add
.top img {
float:left;
}
.top span {
float:left;
}
and change
.cantstop,
.shipping {
line-height:130px;
}
The top container is actually 130px not 150px due to the padding on the top and bottom.
Hope my answer makes sense, let me know if it doesn't.
To align it vertically,
DEMO
Use vertical-align:middle
.top span {
vertical-align:middle
}
To align it horizontally,
DEMO*
Use .top { text-align:center }

How can I vertically align .link a (the button) within .link without giving a height or width? Like this...
Here's my fiddle
Here is one way that you can do it. Your HTML is good, no need to change anything.
For the CSS:
.body { width: 920px; }
.banner {
background-color: #454545;
border-bottom: 3px solid #F9F9F9;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 0;
display: table;
}
.banner > div {
outline: 1px dotted yellow; /* optional to show cell edges... */
display: table-cell;
}
.banner .name {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px; /* control top white space */
text-align: center;
}
.banner .name h2 {
color: #F9F9F9;
max-height: 55px;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title {
width: 50%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px;
}
.banner .title h3 {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 15px;
margin: 0px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title p {
font-size: 12px;
max-height: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .link {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left; /* set to left, center or right as needed */
}
.banner .link a {
margin-left: 25px; /* controls left offset */
background-color: #FA9800;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block; /* use inline-block if you want to center element */
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 23px;
line-height: 23px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100px;
}
See the fiddle at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/jsG8F/
How This Works
The trick is to use display: table on your .banner container and then display: table-cell on your child div elements, and set the % widths to 25%, 50%, 25% respectively for .name, .title, .link.
You can then use vertical-align and text-align to control vertical and horizontal placement of the various text blocks.
I added comments related to using padding-top to control white space from the top of the banner.
For the .link a element, you can adjust the left margin (or right) as needed.
These CSS rules offer you a lot of fine control over the placement of the various elements within the banner.
Backwards Compatibility
The display: table-cell property is backwards compatible back to IE8.
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
If the size of the element and banner are fixed, use margin-top to offset the element.
Marc Audet was very close but I ended up going a slightly different route.
I gave .link a a fixed top margin and made margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; and that did the trick.
Here is the fiddle for reference.

Image in paragraph not working as it should

If I put an image inside a paragraph tag without aligning works fine. If I align it image goes outside paragraph. Problem is that Image is MUCH larger than text.
<div id="main-paper-bg">
<div id="content">
<h1>After School Program</h1>
<p><img class="left-only" src="images/bgi/after-school/main-img.jpg" width="450" height="630" alt="Main Img" align="left">Coming Soon</p>
</div>
</div>
And CSS
#main-paper-bg {
width: 740px;
padding: 30px;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#content {
background: black;
height: auto;
text-align: left;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-right: 30px;
padding-left: 30px;
border: 1px solid #999;
}
p {
line-height: 160%;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 30px;
font-size: 12pt;
}
img.left-only {
border: none;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;
padding: 0;
}
You have a close-parentheses in your styles that may be breaking things: "background: black);"
you don't need align="left" in your <img> tag.
The align attribute is also deprecated: use css to set width height, align and other features. In this case, you don't need to align it left, since the default value for text-align is already left.
like so: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/equ8p/1/
