Yes, obviously I'm doing it wrong. Why can't it be as easy as horizontally aligning stuff? I sit and my work is halted for hours on end trying to look up how to vertically align in the middle, so I don't have to bug you guys with my stupid most-likely really easy to you question.
Display Block or Table-Cell, everything I read never works. I thought "maybe if I horizontally align my img with .divID img
and then vertically align the div itself" sadly, I wish that'd work. But even when I did try centering the div vertically in the middle, it messed up the image centering and didn't even work.
TL;DR: I hate trying to vertically align stuff so much.
I'm trying to get my header image centered vertically and horizontally. This my code I'm working off.
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/d0umnxt.png" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
body {
margin: 0px;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #151B1F;
}
#logo {
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
Deprecated as an attribute Occasionally you will see “valign” used on table cells to accomplish vertical alignment. e.g. <td valign=top> . It should be noted that this attribute is deprecated and should not be used.
The vertical-align property in CSS controls how elements set next to each other on a line are lined up. In order for this to work, the elements need to be set along a baseline. As in, inline (e.g. <span> , <img> ) or inline-block (e.g. as set by the display property) elements.
The vertical-align property works only on inline or inline-block elements and table cells and when not used on a table cell, it will affect the alignment of the element itself, not the element's contents.
The vertical-align property can be used in two contexts: To vertically align an inline element's box inside its containing line box. For example, it could be used to vertically position an image in a line of text. To vertically align the content of a cell in a table.
I hate table
and table-cell
just as much as the next guy, but when you know the height of the parent element (#header
in your case), things become really easy.
Here's a working fiddle.
You just need to add the following styles to your CSS:
#header {
display: table;
}
#logo {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
