How to vertical align image inside div [duplicate]
Solution 1:
The only (and the best cross-browser) way as I know is to use an inline-block
helper with height: 100%
and vertical-align: middle
on both elements.
So there is a solution: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/4RPFa/4570/
.frame {
height: 25px; /* Equals maximum image height */
width: 160px;
border: 1px solid red;
white-space: nowrap; /* This is required unless you put the helper span closely near the img */
text-align: center;
margin: 1em 0;
}
.helper {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
img {
background: #3A6F9A;
vertical-align: middle;
max-height: 25px;
max-width: 160px;
}
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=250px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=25px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=23px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=21px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=19px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=17px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=15px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=13px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=11px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=9px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=7px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=5px />
</div>
<div class="frame">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=3px />
</div>
Or, if you don't want to have an extra element in modern browsers and don't mind using Internet Explorer expressions, you can use a pseudo-element and add it to Internet Explorer using a convenient Expression, that runs only once per element, so there won't be any performance issues:
The solution with :before
and expression()
for Internet Explorer: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/4RPFa/4571/
.frame {
height: 25px; /* Equals maximum image height */
width: 160px;
border: 1px solid red;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align: center;
margin: 1em 0;
}
.frame:before,
.frame_before {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
img {
background: #3A6F9A;
vertical-align: middle;
max-height: 25px;
max-width: 160px;
}
/* Move this to conditional comments */
.frame {
list-style:none;
behavior: expression(
function(t){
t.insertAdjacentHTML('afterBegin','<span class="frame_before"></span>');
t.runtimeStyle.behavior = 'none';
}(this)
);
}
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=250px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=25px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=23px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=21px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=19px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=17px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=15px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=13px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=11px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=9px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=7px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=5px /></div>
<div class="frame"><img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=3px /></div>
How it works:
-
When you have two
inline-block
elements near each other, you can align each to other's side, so withvertical-align: middle
you'll get something like this: When you have a block with fixed height (in
px
,em
or another absolute unit), you can set the height of inner blocks in%
.- So, adding one
inline-block
withheight: 100%
in a block with fixed height would align anotherinline-block
element in it (<img/>
in your case) vertically near it.
Solution 2:
This might be useful:
div {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
}
.image {
min-height: 50px
}
Solution 3:
matejkramny's solution is a good start, but oversized images have a wrong ratio.
Here's my fork:
Demo: https://jsbin.com/lidebapomi/edit?html,css,output
HTML:
<div class="frame">
<img src="foo"/>
</div>
CSS:
.frame {
height: 160px; /* Can be anything */
width: 160px; /* Can be anything */
position: relative;
}
img {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}
Solution 4:
A three-line solution:
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
This applies to anything.
From here.
