Center Text Vertically Within <DIV>
I have a <div> element with a fixed height, and I'd like to center some text vertically within that element.
I've been trying to follow the instructions at http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html. However, it doesn't seem to work for me.
I've posted what I'm trying at http://jsfiddle.net/scwebgroup/74Rnq/. If I change the HeaderBrand's margin-top to about -22px, it seems about right开发者_Python百科.
Can anyone see why the technique described in the article is not working as expected for me?
Note: The best answer here only works if the text doesn't wrap to a second line.
This:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
.outer { outline: 1px solid #eee; }
.outer > p { display: table-cell; height: 200px; vertical-align: middle; }
</style>
<div class="outer">
<p>This text will be vertically aligned</p>
</div>
<div class="outer">
<p>This longer text will be vertically aligned. Assumenda quinoa cupidatat messenger bag tofu. Commodo sustainable raw denim, lo-fi keytar brunch high life nisi labore 3 wolf moon readymade eiusmod viral. Exercitation velit ex, brooklyn farm-to-table in hoodie id aliquip. Keytar skateboard synth blog minim sed. Nisi do wes anderson seitan, banksy sartorial +1 cliche. Iphone scenester tumblr consequat keffiyeh you probably haven't heard of them, sartorial qui hoodie. Leggings labore cillum freegan put a bird on it tempor duis.</p>
</div>
works in modern browsers, regardless of whether text spans only one or multiple lines.
Also updated the fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/74Rnq/135/ Not sure what you were doing with a 625px margin on the left when the thing itself was only 150px in width… Tidied things up a bit by removing the inline styling and using a bit of padding as well.
You can try setting the line-height to the height of the div, like this:
<div style="height:200px;border:1px solid #000;">
<span style="line-height:200px;">Hello world!</span>
</div>
Here's another technique that seems to work:
#vertical{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:0;
width:100%;
}
<div style="position:relative;height:200px;">
<div id="vertical">
Hello world!
</div>
</div>
I know this method adds some HTML, but it seems to work in all major browsers (even IE7+).
Basic HTML Structure
<div id="hold">
<div>Content</div>
<div class="aligner"> </div>
</div>
Require CSS
#hold{
height:400px;
}
div{
display: -moz-inline-stack;
display: inline-block;
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.aligner{
width:0px;
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
The jsFiddle
As shown below you can easily just set the parent of a text element to position: relative, and the text element itself to position: absolute; Then use direction properties to move around the text inside the parent. See examples below...

</html>One method with your current setup is to set the margin-top to -25%
http://jsfiddle.net/ycAta/
the only reason why it looks offish is because the position is based off of the top of the text and there is a necessary gap because not all letters are the same height.
As A manual fix -30% looks better. :P
I was unable to determine the reason why the code in the article I referenced would not work for me. A couple of people offered answers but nothing that struck me as reliable across browsers.
Ultimately, I decided to keep my text on one line, which I do not like as much. But I do need my technique to be clear and well-understood, and for it to work reliably.
I was recently delighted to find that Flexbox can handle this problem for you. The flex-center class in the CSS below will center your div's text, both vertically and horizontally. The example comes out a little smashed, so I recommend resizing the window until the div border isn't flush to the text.
As far as whether you can get away with using flexbox regarding compatibility, see Can I use...
I don't fully understand why this works, and if someone has more insight into the flex box machinery, I'd enjoy the explanation.
