[FIXED] How to vertically center content with variable height within a div?

 November 17, 2022     css, vertical-alignment     No comments   

Issue

What is the best way to vertically center the content of a div when the height of the content is variable. In my particular case, the height of the container div is fixed, but it would be great if there were a solution that would work in cases where the container has a variable height as well. Also, I would love a solution with no, or very little use of CSS hacks and/or non-semantic markup.

Solution

Just add

position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);

to the inner div.

What it does is moving the inner div's top border to the half height of the outer div (top: 50%;) and then the inner div up by half its height (transform: translateY(-50%)). This will work with position: absolute or relative.

Keep in mind that transform and translate have vendor prefixes which are not included for simplicity.
