πŸ“·How to vertically align an image inside a div?πŸ”„

Are you tired of struggling to vertically align an image inside a div? πŸ€” Don't worry, I've got you covered! In this blog post, I'll show you a simple solution to this common problem. πŸ’‘

Let's consider the example given:

<div class="frame" style="height: 25px;">
    <img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" />
</div>

The goal is to vertically center the image within this div. However, the height of the div is fixed, and the image's height is unknown. πŸ™ƒ

Here's the solution:

  1. Set the line-height property of the div to be equal to the height property. This will create a vertical alignment reference within the div.

  2. Use the text-align: center; property on the div to horizontally center the image.

  3. Add vertical-align: middle; to the image CSS to achieve the vertical alignment within the div.

  4. Set the max-height property on the image to ensure it doesn't exceed the div's height.

  5. Optionally, you can set a max-width property on the image if needed.

Here's the updated CSS for the div and image:

.frame {
    height: 25px;
    line-height: 25px;
    width: 160px;
    border: 1px solid red;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 1em 0;
}

img {
    background: #3A6F9A;
    vertical-align: middle;
    max-height: 25px;
    max-width: 160px;
}

Now, let's see the HTML code with multiple divs and images for demonstration purposes:

<div class="frame">
    <img src="http://jsfiddle.net/img/logo.png" height=250 />
</div>
<!-- Place more divs with different image heights here -->

That's it! By following these steps, you'll be able to vertically align an image inside a div effortlessly. 😎
