Why is vertical-align: middle not working on my span or div?
Setting the line-height to the same height as it's containing div will also work
DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/gZXWC/7/
.inner {
line-height:72px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
Using CSS3:
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"/>
</div>
Css:
.outer {
display : flex;
align-items : center;
}
use "justify-content: center;" to align elements horizontally
Note: This might not work in old IE's
Try this, works for me very well:
/* Internet Explorer 10 */
display:-ms-flexbox;
-ms-flex-pack:center;
-ms-flex-align:center;
/* Firefox */
display:-moz-box;
-moz-box-pack:center;
-moz-box-align:center;
/* Safari, Opera, and Chrome */
display:-webkit-box;
-webkit-box-pack:center;
-webkit-box-align:center;
/* W3C */
display:box;
box-pack:center;
box-align:center;
This seems to be the best way - some time has passed since my original post and this is what should be done now:
.main {
display: table;
/* optional css start */
height: 90px;
width: 90px;
/* optional css end */
}
.inner {
border: 1px solid #000000;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="inner"> This </div>
</div>
