I\'m using Twitter Bootstrap 3, and I have problems when I want to align vertically two div
, for example — JSFiddle link:
This is my solution. Just add this class to your CSS content.
.align-middle {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
Then your HTML would look like this:
<div class="col-xs-12 align-middle">
<div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:blue;">
<h3>Item</h3>
<h3>Item</h3>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:red;">
<h3>Item</h3>
</div>
</div>
.align-middle {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}

HTML
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-2 pull-bottom"
style="height:100px;background:blue">
</div>
<div class="col-xs-8 pull-bottom"
style="height:50px;background:yellow">

CSS
.pull-bottom {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: bottom;
float: none;
}
I genuinely find the following code works using Chrome and not other browsers than the currently selected answer:
.v-center {
display:table!important; height:125px;
}
.v-center div[class*='col-'] {
display: table-cell!important;
vertical-align:middle;
float:none;
}
.v-center img {
max-height:125px;
}
You may need to amend the heights (specifically on .v-center
) and remove/change div on div[class*='col-']
for your needs.
This answer presents a hack, but I would highly recommend you to use flexbox (as stated in @Haschem answer), since it's now supported everywhere.

You still can use a custom class when you need it:
.vcenter {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
float: none;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-5 col-md-3 col-lg-1 vcenter">
<div style="height:10em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>
</div><!--
--><div class="col-xs-5 col-md-7 col-lg-9 vcenter">
<div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>
</div>
</div>
Bootply
Using inline-block
adds extra space between blocks if you let a real space in your code (like ...</div> </div>...
). This extra space breaks our grid if column sizes add up to 12:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4 col-lg-2 vcenter">
<div style="height:10em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-8 col-lg-10 vcenter">
<div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>
</div>
</div>
Here, we've got extra spaces between <div class="[...] col-lg-2">
and <div class="[...] col-lg-10">
(a carriage return and 2 tabs/8 spaces). And so...
Let's kick this extra space!!
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-4 col-lg-2 vcenter">
<div style="height:10em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>
</div><!--
--><div class="col-xs-6 col-md-8 col-lg-10 vcenter">
<div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>
</div>
</div>
Notice the seemingly useless comments <!-- ... -->
? They are important -- without them, the whitespace between the <div>
elements will take up space in the layout, breaking the grid system.
Note: the Bootply has been updated
There isn't any need for table and table-cells. It can be achieved easily using transform.
Example: http://codepen.io/arvind/pen/QNbwyM
Code:
.child {
height: 10em;
border: 1px solid green;
position: relative;
}
.child-content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="row parent">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-lg-6 child">
<div class="child-content">
<div style="height:4em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-lg-6 child">
<div class="child-content">
<div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
There are several ways you can do it:
Use
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
and the CSS of the container to
display: table;
Use padding along with media-screen for changing the padding relative to the screen size. Google @media screen to know more.
Use relative padding
I.e., specify padding in terms of %
