I have tried a few.Questions: I am trying to find the most effective way to align text with a div. One option would of course be to overwrite the HTML source and specify the styling, but this may not be ideal - despite the scary warning that sharepoint throws, 'Warning: Some of the HTML source you modified may have been changed' the style attribute on table cells seems to retain the vertical-align property when set. A separate example shows a paragraph that is centered vertically in the browser window, because it is inside a block that is absolutely positioned and as tall as the window. Questions: I am trying to find the most effective way to align text with a div. The example below centers a paragraph inside a block that has a certain given height. The trick is to specify that the outer block is to be formatted as a table cell, because the contents of a table cell can be centered vertically. But we can center blocks vertically, by combining a few properties. Method five is a flexbox, it's my personal favorite next to padding.A common task for CSS is to center text or images vertically.Īlthough CSS2 doesn’t supports Vertical aligning. As you can see, you can also add this padding in percents, for example, 5% so it will be always responsive. Padding-top and bottom padding to be the same, for example, 50 pixels, and the right and the left to be zero, and as you can see, our content is centered! It is my favorite method because next to a flexbox it's the easiest method and it works everywhere. These pretty white color, and just add padding. So, it will be just in our container, container4, we just add a background color, just to see it better. Method 4 is my favorite one next to a method five, that's why I left them for the end of this tutorial, and because I like them so much because they need so little coding, so, let's for example, add in our index.html let's just copy paste, as usual, o our code, and paste it down there change this to number four, so we don't have to write all over again, and we use padding. As you can see our text is in the middle, vertically aligned perfectly, and we can have multiple rows. You can change the height over here for 100 pixels and so on. We now treat our text3 as a table cell, and the only thing you need to add is a vertical, vertical-align: middle and this is it. And on our text3 we add display table cell, as you can see. We can say our height is 300 pixels and the background color to be to also be white.
So, just copy this code up here, your container and text2, and paste it down here, and just change the the numbers here 3, and to do this we need to set for our container3 to display a table, table, and now we said to our container to act as a table is a table. In method three we will use table illusion to vertically align our text.
Tad-da :) as you can see our text is the in the center again. And as you can see on the right side, our method works, and it's in the center so let's check with another row, just say Lorem. As you can see, we will now add to the container to this, this code will add height and line-height of 100 pixels and as you can see, our text is in the center, aligned in the center, but as you can see if we also add one additional row it will break, so, to be able to add additional row we need to add to our text2 display in-line, in-line block, and this say: vertical align middle, as you can see, nothing still happens because nothing will happen until you add a line-height: normal. In our CSS we got our container2, container2, and text2. Okay, just copy this from the method1, and paste it down there and change the number two and text two, so it will be easy to do work with.
Okay, I just add the method2, method2 will be the upgrade of a method one so we just add again our container and text paragraph. As you can see over here, So this works only for one row. And this is very simple method, so just use on your text text1, just use just use height of a 100 pixels, for example, and line-height, height of 100 pixels, and as you can see this is, our text is in the center, but if we add another line of text over here, it will break. A FAQ on various IRC channels I help out on is How do I vertically center my stuff inside this area When used in table cells, vertical-align does what. And the in our main CSS we will add some styling for our container1, we will add a background color of white, just to better see in our preview pane on the right side. and let's trim a bit so we have only one line. Okay, and let's add some text inside Lorem Ipsum. Method one is a classic one, it will only vertically align one row of text so to see this let's make one div with the class container, it will be container one and one p tag with the class text1.
