Pinterest, Pin CSS Style - css

I'm trying to get the CSS for a Pin Style right. I'm trying to get the exact Pinterest Pin Style, that means that the image is filling the container/box and below there are the stats...
The Image below shows a Pinterest Pin that i'm trying to make. Does anyone know the Css that is required for the image to Fill the container/box ?
Thank you

You just need to make sure your image is the same width as its container element. Set the width on your container to the same width as your image and make sure there is no padding in your container or margins on the top or sides of your image.
<div class="container">
<img width="200">
<div class="meta">
text
</div>
</div>
.container { width: 200px; padding: 0; }
.container img { margin: 0; }
Pinterest's code gets a bit more complex but you can always use an inspector to see what they're doing specifically.

How to remove space around Nextjs image?

I use Nextjs's Image component. It works great, but it displays space around the image that forces me to apply negative margins on a wrapper to properly align it. Also, it makes the hover effect looks like crap (the user has to put his mouse far away from the image to have an animation exit. It looks buggy.). How to remove the useless space?
Code example:
// image
<div className={styles.wrapper}>
<Image src={pic.src} alt="pic" width={344} height={634} />
</div>
// style
.wrapper {
margin-top: 200px;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
Add this prop to your image and style your wrapper div as you desire:
<div className={styles.wrapper}>
<Image src={pic.src} alt="pic" layout="fill"/>
</div>

Keep div height while the image is loading

I have a square image within .img-container. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for an image to load and the .img-container collapses and only takes the full height when the image loads. However, I would like it to keep the full height (as if the image is there) while the image is loading.
I would've easily done this by setting a min-height on img-container class, however it's a fluid grid and the image is responsive (notice bootstrap's img-responsive helper class) which makes it hard to set the min-height to an appropriate value for different screen sizes (although achievable with media queries as a last resort).
Solving this by putting a placeholding image sounds like an overkill (especially performance wise on mobile). Also, not sure what would load first then, the placeholder image or the actual image.
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-4">
<div class="card">
<span class="img-container thumbnail clearfix">
<img alt class="pull-left img-responsive" src="http://...">
</span>
<div class="caption">
<a href="http://.." class="card-title lead">
Some text
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
EDIT DUE TO COMMENT
If you do not specify a source at all (not even a dummy, temporary one), the browser will not even try to "guess" the image's height, and so it collapses. If you know the ratio of the image (it's obviously 1:1 in case of a square picture), you can use the following trick to preoccupy the space, and scale the image along with the div.
Set the following CSS:
.test-div-inner {
padding-bottom:100%;
background:#EEE;
height:0;
position:relative;
}
.test-image {
width:100%;
height:100%;
display:block;
position:absolute;
}
Then you can use the following HTML:
<div class="test-div-inner">
<img class="test-image" src="http://goo.gl/lO9SUU">
</div>
Here is the working example: http://jsfiddle.net/pQ5zh/3/
Note that the fiddle contains another div element, this is only required if you would like to give it all a padding or border, since the padding-bottom calculates the padding in pixels based on the width of the div INCLUDING THOSE PARAMETERS, which is NOT the effect we want to achieve (the image would be a little taller than it should be).
For non-square images:
If you would like to change the ratio of the picture, just change the padding-bottom of the container div accordingly. For example, if you would like to place an image with a ratio of 2:1, change the padding to 50%. To keep it short: the ratio of the container div's width and padding should always be equal to the ratio of the image's width and height.
There is an easy way to do exactly this, but it only works for square images.
Specify the width of the image (using CSS) to be 100%. This way the browser will automatically assume that the image height is the same as it's width, and preoccupy the place.
http://jsfiddle.net/pQ5zh/2/
.test-image {
width:100%;
}
Note: There is a way to achieve this for non-square images too, but that is a bit more complicated.
EDIT: See above.
Ok, assuming all images are square, we can do it. Add an extra div around your image like this:
<div class="img-container">
<div class="image-wrap">IMAGE HERE</div>
</div>
Then we want CSS along the lines of
.img-container {
position:relative;
background: #ccc;
width:200px; /* Remove this width */
color:#000;
}
.img-container:before{
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 100%;
}
.image-wrap {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}

You'll want to remove the width set in .img-container

Centre Image in DIV (Original can be bigger than DIV)

Struggling with the dreaded centring of different sized images in a DIV.
Got a solution from StackOverflow ( How to vertically align an image inside div ), using a <SPAN> as a dummy element (with vertical-align: middle) and it works well except for the images which are bigger than the DIV and these are correctly resized, but shown below the DIV.
If I remove the <SPAN>, then the centring works in the horizontal, but not in the vertical.
If there is a simple change, I can make as I like the simplicity of the solution.
The tests are at
http://mclportal.net/ModalTests.html
This will work for you:
<div id="divModal" style="display:table">
<div id="divImage" style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle">
<img id="img" src=".........">
</div>
</div>
You should put max width and max heights on your images. Then just use relative positioning of the images inside a div with a relative position. for instance...
<div style="height: 300px; width: 300px; position: relative; text-align: center;>
<img src="#" style="max-width: 200px; max-height: 200px; position: relative; top: 50px; />
</div>
Using an approach like this all images will be vertically aligned with each other and centered within their div container. Plus having max height and width set will allow the image to keep its aspect ratio.
#mcl not sure if you've managed to resolve your problem yet.
If not checkout out my blog post centering large images in smaller containers their is also a codepen demo on there.
I had the same issue and managed to get it working without any need of javascript or inline styles.
Hope it helps

Force Parent Div To Inherit Child Image Height (For Responsive Scaling Images)

I'm trying to make the parent div inherit the height that the responsive child image sets... but it's not working.
This is for a responsive website, so when resizing the browser, the image resizes. The problem is that if I set a height on the parent .mosaic-block-three element, then the image appears to stay fixed at that height.
If I set the .mosaic-block-three element to height: auto, then it fails completely and goes down to 0 height.
What am I missing to make this scale smoothly? I can rearrange and add css, html or javascript, whatever I have to do to get it done. I've tried for hours so any help is GREATLY appreciated :-)
The example page is here: http://bit.ly/KzfN2g
My goal is to replicate how the images are perfectly responsive on this page, but with the addition of the rollover mosaic text: http://bit.ly/LIrJv7
<div class="mosaic-block-three magnifier2">
<div class="details">
<a class="pf_title_link" href="/portfolio/vignette-tiered-architella-shades/">Vignette® Tiered™ Architella® Shades </a> </div>
<div class="mosaic-backdrop" style="display: block; ">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/home-office-vignette-tiered-architella-shades-01-1024x564.png" class="attachment-large wp-post-image" alt="home-office-vignette-tiered-architella-shades-01" title="home-office-vignette-tiered-architella-shades-01">
</div>
<!-- end mosaic-backdrop -->
</div>
This is working with these few CSS changes (tested in Chrome only):
mosaic.css line 46
.mosaic-block-three {height: 250px}
mosaic.css line 74
.mosaic-backdrop {position: absolute}
promotion.css line 92
.details {margin: 15px 20px; margin: 0 20px;}
responsepress.css line 155
.mosaic-backdrop img {float:left}
You might want to move the border-radius:5px to the img now also.
You should probably use an img tag instead of a background. Then set a max-width of that image. don't set a width/height on the parent element.
That should work!

Different Links CSS Hover change a picture

I would like a CSS hover affect for multiple links that affect the same image. If you look at this example site I have Repair, Sales, Upgrades and Data Recovery links. When you hover over any one of them I would like the image to their left to change. You can hover over the image currently there to see what I mean.
website: http://ctuchicago.squarespace.com/
I would create a box that contains the image and all of the links. Then when the box is hovered over the image will change. This doesn't get you exactly what you want - which is only hovering over the link changes the image, but I think it is close enough and far easier.
http://jsfiddle.net/mrtsherman/D5ZRs/
div:hover img { background: url('blah'); }
<div>
<img src="" />
Repair
Sales
</div>
Put the image inside the a tag. Then use position: relative to position the image...
for example
a img{
position: relative;
left: -50px;
}
This seems to work... partially XD
<div class="frontdiv fblankd">
<a href="/audio-video" id="hav" style="width: auto;">
<div style="
height: 80px;
margin-left: 81px;
background: white;
color: black;
">
<h3>AUDIO / VIDEO</h3>
<p>Music Server, Home Theatre, Zone Systems, Universal Remote Control</p>
</div>
</a>
</div>
The basic idea is to have your content in the a tag (like ever body has been saying).
What I've done with the styling is set the anchor to width:auto and wrapped the content in a div. this div I then gave a height of 80px, left margin of 81px, background of white and font color of black.
Wrap the <p>, and <h3> tags inside the <a> tags.
