I know there are a million questions about CSS vertical alignment but I believe I have a slightly new flavour of problem.
I have a container layer and a sublayer inside that, the internal layer has fixed size, however my wrapper layer has a variable height, percentage, with a fixed minimum height.
The issue I have is that I'm able to align it vertically middle either for the min-height scenario or the percentage height scenario but not both.
I have a feeling that the solution will most likely be involving jQuery to determine the height of the wrapper layer in pixels and applying the negative margin to the internal layer on the fly, using position:rel; top:50%; but thought I would asking incase anyone has come across this before.
My css has the following properties:
#container {
height:82%;
min-height:600px;
width:938px;
}
#container div {
width:400px;
height:400px;
padding:70px;
border-radius:100%;
text-align:center;
}
Give the container layer a css property value of display: table. I think that would fix your issue.
#container {
display: table;
}
There is nothing new to this question.
Still, here is the answer:
#container {
height:82%;
min-height:600px;
width:938px;
position: relative;
}
#container div {
width:400px;
height:400px;
padding:70px;
border-radius:100%;
text-align:center;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%
margin-top: -270px;
margin-left: -270px;
}
Another posiibility would be to set the container to display: table and the inner div to display: table-cell and vertical-align: middle.

I have a div that is masked off in terms of its width. Inside, I have 2 divs of the same width floated, so 100% + 100%. This means that either the left is visible or the right is visible at any one time.
In fact, what I'm trying to achieve is almost exactly the same as this:
jquery slide div within a div
Just one difference though. The height of my parent isn't fixed, it's dependent on the child size. So when I apply position: absolute; to the parent, it all goes pear-shaped.
Any solutions to this? I can use flexbox if necessary as I don't support IE8/9.
CSS would be something like this
.outer-wrap {
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
width:300px;
}
.middle-wrap {
overflow:hidden;
position:absolute; // this doesn't work because it has no fixed height
left:0;
width:600px;
}
.middle-wrap.open {
right:0;
}
.inner-wrap {
float:left;
width:300px;
}
HTML
<div class="outer-wrap">
<div class="middle-wrap">
<div class="inner-wrap"></div>
<div class="inner-wrap"></div>
</div>
</div>
Another edit: I created a codepen, it's here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/oxwmex CLick on the two buttons on the far right, they switch between the states
As you noted, your solution doesn't work because .middle-wrap has no fixed height. Try it with the following settings (note: no floats, no absolute positions):
.outer-wrap {
overflow-x: hidden;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.middle-wrap {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
left: 0px;
}
.inner-wrap {
display: inline-block;
width: 300px;
vertical-align: top;
}
This will display the left of the two .inner-wraps within the visible part of .outer-wrap. To make the right .inner-wrap visible apply something like
jQuery(".middle-wrap").css("left", "-300px")
to the element or event you use for switching between the two inner-wraps. Or if you want it animated:
jQuery(".middle-wrap").aminmate({left: "-300px"})
(Plus another method to switch back to left: 0px)
The heigth of all elements is automatically adjusted to the heigth of the higher of the two .inner-wrap elements.
P.S. (edit): Erase the style="height:100px;" settings from the inner-wraps in the HTML, just fill them with some content to see it working.
Referring to this website – www.mrandmrsbutt.com – I'm trying to position the 'Upwaltham Barns' graphic at the bottom centre of the viewport, so no matter what size the viewport is the graphic will move with it and stay at the bottom.
I've tried adding the following custom CSS into my WordPress site, but it doesn't seem to work:
.fix{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:50%;
}
<img src="http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/banner-cta.png" class="fix"/>
Here is all my custom CSS at the moment:
#site-header.overlay-header{background-color:#fff;}
.menu-item a span:hover{color:#dfb5a9;}
#main-banner{
background-image:url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Top-Banner-Background.jpg);
background-size:cover;
background-position:center center;
height:100vh;
}
.centre{
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
}
#navigation-bar{
background-image:url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/navigation-background.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height:48px;
}
p{margin-bottom:10px;}
.paper-background{
background: #fff url(http://www.mrandmrsbutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/white-background.jpg) repeat top left;
}
Can anyone help?
You don't want position: fixed;, you're on the right path using absolute.
The problem is that the parent divs of what you're targeting aren't all 100% height of the viewport. You've set the outer-most parent to height: 100vh;, but it really needs applying to the inner .vc_column_container container (as it's using bootstrap based styles, and BS columns get position relative) - so your down arrow and graphic are being positioned based on that.
Try something like this:
#main-banner .wpex-vc-columns-wrap .vc_column_container {
height: 100vh;
}
#main-banner .wpex-vc-columns-wrap .vc_inner::last-child {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
bottom: 2.5%;
}
That should get you closer to what you're aiming for, be sure to include all vendor prefixes with transform, however if you're using something like Autoprefixer or Bourbon you'll already have this covered...
There's some "custom" styles in there I'm guessing you've added from a page-builder that might mess the position of the graphic/arrow up, remove the unnecessary padding if it's bugging out.
Good luck with the wedding :-)
I think you need to change position:absolute to position:fixed in the .fix rule
.fix{
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
left:50%;
}
This should send your graphic to the bottom of the viewport and left there even scrolling. The horizontal center could be a bit tricky, but you could try to use a fixed container with left and right set to 0.
.fixed-container{
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
left:0;
right: 0;
}
The previous rule sets the container to the bottom of the viewport and extends horizontally.
img.centered {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
display: inline-block;
}
This rule is applied to the image to achieve centered alignment inside the container.
HTML code:
<div class="fixed-container">
<img class="centered" src="..image..." />
</div>
I think this should do the trick.
I am trying to align a div on top of my image. Horizontal alignment works fine, vertical offset however doesn't. Also, the background-color of #studentenlijn is not applied.
HTML Snippet:
<div id="container">
<div id="studentenlijn">STUDENTENLIJN</div>
<img src="http://lsvb.nl/s/lsvbheader.jpg" class="banner" />
</div>
Relevant CSS
#studentenlijn {
width: 10%;
height: 10%;
position: absolute;
top: 30%;
left: 72%;
background-color: #660000;
}

Any ideas?
Your body had a height of 0, thus affecting the height of the containers within it when you try to specify a percentage height. Another problem was that you had a floating image within your container div, and thus you need to hide the overflow in order for the container to properly calculate the heights of elements within.
I have made some minor changes to your fiddle here:
http://jsfiddle.net/YGeLA/1/
I added:
height: 100%; to the body element
overflow: hidden; to #container which forces the container to respect the height of all elements within it.
The size of your div is:
#studentenlijn {
width: 10%;
height: 10%;
}
So it'll be a % of the parent element. The parent element, your container, is:
#container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
At this point, your browser can't determine which size should have your block.
So you won't be able to center it (Since you can't center an element which have not a browser-determined size).
You can't see the background-color for the same reason. It is applied, but you won't see your colored block because his size is 0.
Try to solve it, and it would be easier to center your div. In case it doesn't help you, edit your post with your modification :)
the container height is 0px. so you can't give height 100%
you have to set height in px
look at this update
#container {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%;
line-height: 0;
}
.banner {
width:100%;
}
#studentenlijn {
width:200px;
height:30px;
position:absolute;
top:35px;
left:72%;
background-color:#660000;
line-height:30px
}

My container div doesnt expand vertically on one of my pages as I add elements. Hence the bottom most div overlaps onto my footer. The divs in the container are horizontal elements relatively positioned
On my home page it works fine container expands and no overlapping using the css below
If I had any hair left it would be pulled out by now!! :-))
#container {
width: 900px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
top:50px;
position:relative;
height: auto !important;
min-height: 100%;
}
Seems to me to little context, because it is possible that the footer is overlapping your container div, which is set to start with a min-height of 100%, it depends on how the footer is defined related to your container div.
...............Demo
Hi now give to body, html height:100%; than give to any class or id height 100%;
as like this
body, html{
height:100%;
}
LIve demo
rule-selector
{
height: 100%;
}
If this doesn't work for you then a more particular rule might disable this rule, so make your rule-selector as particular as possible. If it is still not particular enough, then:
rule-selector
{
height: 100% !important;
}
Try this:
#container {
width: 900px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
top:50px;
position:relative;
overflow:hidden ;
}

How to horizontally center a floating element of a variable width?
Edit: I already have this working using a containing div for the floating element and specifying a width for the container (then use margin: 0 auto; for the container). I just wanted to know whether it can be done without using a containing element or at least without having to specify a width for the containing element.
Assuming the element which is floated and will be centered is a div with an id="content"
...
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
This will be centered
</div>
</div>
</body>
And apply the following CSS:
#wrap {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
#content {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
Here is a good reference regarding that.
.center {
display: table;
margin: auto;
}
You can use fit-content value for width.
#wrap {
width: -moz-fit-content;
width: -webkit-fit-content;
width: fit-content;
margin: auto;
}
Note: It works only in latest browsers.
This works better when the id = container (which is the outer div) and id = contained (which is the inner div). The problem with the highly recommended solution is that it results in some cases into an horizontal scrolling bar when the browser is trying to cater for the left: -50% attribute. There is a good reference for this solution
#container {
text-align: center;
}
#contained {
text-align: left;
display: inline-block;
}
Say you have a DIV you want centred horizontally:
<div id="foo">Lorem ipsum</div>
In the CSS you'd style it with this:
#foo
{
margin:0 auto;
width:30%;
}
Which states that you have a top and bottom margin of zero pixels, and on either left or right, automatically work out how much is needed to be even.
Doesn't really matter what you put in for the width, as long as it's there and isn't 100%. Otherwise you wouldn't be setting the centre on anything.
But if you float it, left or right, then the bets are off since that pulls it out of the normal flow of elements on the page and the auto margin setting won't work.
The popular answer here does work sometimes, but other times it creates horizontal scroll bars that are tough to deal with - especially when dealing with wide horizontal navigations and large pull down menus. Here is an even lighter-weight version that helps avoid those edge cases:
#wrap {
float: right;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
#content {
left: 50%;
position: relative;
}
Proof that it is working!
To more specifically answer your question, it is probably not possible to do without setting up some containing element, however it is very possible to do without specifying a width value. Hope that saves someone out there some headaches!
Can't you just use display: inline block and align to center?
Example.
for 50% element
width: 50%;
display: block;
float: right;
margin-right: 25%;
