Issue
I have searched extensively and seen numerous examples on how to vertical-align
text using the vertical-align
property and the line-height
property. However, all my efforts seem to bear no fruit as I am unable to get my text to align vertically. How do I do vertically align text to be centered? The height
properties are not fixed so I can't use line-height
.
HTML
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="html/login.html">Login</a></li>
<li><a href="html/user_registration.html">Register</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Programmes Offered</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
CSS
nav
{
height: 30%;
width: 100%;
}
nav ul
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
nav ul li
{
height: 33%;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Solution
you may use a pseudo element displayed as an inline-box using full height of li and vertical-aligned to midlle. DEMO
body, html {
height:100%; /* needed for demo */
}
nav {
height: 50%; /* increased for demo */
width: 100%;
}
nav ul {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
nav ul li {
height: 33%;
box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 1px; /* show me li , for demo */
}
nav ul li:before {
content:'';
height:100%;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
edit
If you also reset display
and vertical-align
on <a>
, links can be spread on a few lines (demo below):
body,
html {
height: 100%;
}
nav {
height: 70%; /* height set for snippet demo purpose, could be really too much */
width: 100%;
}
nav ul {
height: 100%; /* will follow height, inherit height value , set in nav if any avalaible */
margin: 0px;
}
nav ul li {
height: 33%;
/* see me and my center*/
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1px;
background:linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 50%);
}
nav ul li:before {
content: '';
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
a {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="html/login.html">Login</a>
</li>
<li><a href="html/user_registration.html">Register</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Programmes<br/> Offered</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
