Prevent overflowing long tooltip text - javascript

I have these three icons, could be more, with tooltips which have the position: absolute;, and the whole icon part is aligned to the right. When hovering the icon, a tooltip appears, and in the case of the short text, it looks fine. However there is a problem, especially with the last tooltip, if there is a longer text.
It overflows to the right or just appears in a bad way, and what I'm trying to achieve is that when there is a long text, the tooltip should shift the position somehow to the left, so it's entirely visible... It would be great if this could be done in CSS only, but any working solution would be great. Thanks for any tips.
.container {
background: darkgrey;
padding: 20px 20px 50px;
display: flex;
width: 400px;
justify-content: flex-end;
}
.icon {
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
margin-right: 20px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.container .icon:hover .tooltip {
visibility: visible;
}
.tooltip {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
top: 30px;
min-width: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="container">
ICON <span class="tooltip">text1</span>
ICON <span class="tooltip">a bit longer tooltip text</span>
ICON <span class="tooltip">very long tooltip text goes here, and it should not overflow to the side</span>
</div>

I think you can use element.scrollWidth | element.clientWidth and element.getBoundingClientRect() to calculate if the tooltips go out of the window but i makes a lot of calculation for a simple probleme
Maybe you can juste create a class tooltip-left where element are moved to the right :
.container {
background: darkgrey;
padding: 20px 20px 50px;
display: flex;
width: 400px;
justify-content: flex-end;
}
.icon {
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
margin-right: 20px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.container .icon:hover .tooltip {
visibility: visible;
}
.tooltip {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
top: 30px;
min-width: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
.tooltip-left {
right:25%;
text-align: right;
}
<div class="container">
ICON <span class="tooltip">text1</span>
ICON <span class="tooltip">a bit longer tooltip text</span>
ICON <span class="tooltip tooltip-left">very long tooltip text goes here, and it should not overflow to the side</span>
</div>

How to make insertion into contentEditable paragraph bound by its size?

I need an editable one line paragraph such that the text inserted into it must not overflow its size.
I'm currently using CSS to try to hide the overflow and also to avoid multiple lines (by not displaying the paragraph's children).
However, ideally I need the text inserted into the paragraph to be "cut" as soon as it would overflow.
This is my code so far (also in JSFiddle):
div
{
width: 50vw;
height: 50vh;
margin: 10px auto;
background-color: gray;
}
p
{
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
width: 25%;
background-color: brown;
text-align: center;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
/* Avoiding multiple lines */
p *
{
display: none;
}
<div>
<p contentEditable="true">
Edit me! Unfortunally I can be overflowed... :(
</p>
</div>
You can use word-break: keep-all; property in this case
div {
width: 50vw;
height: 50vh;
margin: 10px auto;
background-color: gray;
}
p {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
width: 25%;
background-color: brown;
text-align: center;
word-break: keep-all;
white-space: normal;
}
p * {
display: none;
}
<div>
<p contentEditable="true">
Edit me! Unfortunally I can be overflowed... :(
</p>
</div>

how do I vertically center content inside a div? [duplicate]

I want to center a div vertically with CSS. I don't want tables or JavaScript, but only pure CSS. I found some solutions, but all of them are missing Internet Explorer 6 support.
<body>
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
</body>
How can I center a div vertically in all major browsers, including Internet Explorer 6?
Below is the best all-around solution I could build to vertically and horizontally center a fixed-width, flexible height content box. It was tested and worked for recent versions of Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari.
.outer {
display: table;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.middle {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.inner {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 400px;
/* Whatever width you want */
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="middle">
<div class="inner">
<h1>The Content</h1>
<p>Once upon a midnight dreary...</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
View A Working Example With Dynamic Content
I built in some dynamic content to test the flexibility and would love to know if anyone sees any problems with it. It should work well for centered overlays also -- lightbox, pop-up, etc.
The simplest way would be the following three lines of CSS:
1) position: relative;
2) top: 50%;
3) transform: translateY(-50%);
Following is an example:
div.outer-div {
height: 170px;
width: 300px;
background-color: lightgray;
}
div.middle-div {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<div class='outer-div'>
<div class='middle-div'>
Test text
</div>
</div>
One more I can't see on the list:
.Center-Container {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
.Absolute-Center {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
border: solid black;
}
Cross-browser (including Internet Explorer 8 - Internet Explorer 10 without hacks!)
Responsive with percentages and min-/max-
Centered regardless of padding (without box-sizing!)
height must be declared (see Variable Height)
Recommended setting overflow: auto to prevent content spillover (see Overflow)
Source: Absolute Horizontal And Vertical Centering In CSS
Now the Flexbox solution is a very easy way for modern browsers, so I recommend this for you:
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100%;
background: green;
}
body,
html {
height: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
</div>
Actually, you need two div's for vertical centering. The div containing the content must have a width and height.
#container {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -200px;
/* Half of #content height */
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
width: 624px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 395px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<h1>Centered div</h1>
</div>
</div>
Here is the result.
Edit 2020: only use this if you need to support old browsers like Internet Explorer 8 (which you should refuse to do 😉). If not, use Flexbox.
This is the simplest method I found and I use it all the time
(jsFiddle demo here).

Support starts with Internet Explorer 8.
After a lot of research I finally found the ultimate solution. It works even for floated elements. View Source
.element {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%); /* or try 50% */
}
Use the CSS Flexbox align-items property to achieve this.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div>This is centered vertically</div>
To center the div on a page, check the fiddle link.
#vh {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
.box{
border-radius: 15px;
box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
padding: 25px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: white;
}
<div id="vh" class="box">Div to be aligned vertically</div>
Another option is to use flex box, check the fiddle link.
.vh {
background-color: #ddd;
height: 400px;
align-items: center;
display: flex;
}
.vh > div {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div class="vh">
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
</div>
Another option is to use a CSS 3 transform:
#vh {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
/*transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);*/
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
.box{
border-radius: 15px;
box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
padding: 25px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: white;
}
<div id="vh" class="box">Div to be aligned vertically</div>
The easiest solution is below:
.outer-div{
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
display: flex;
border:1px solid #000;
}
.inner-div{
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<div class="inner-div">
Hey there!
</div>
</div>
There are multiple ways to achieve this.
Using flex property of CSS.
Solution #1
.parent {
width: 400px;
height:200px;
background: blue;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content:center;
}
.child {
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
background: yellow;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
or by using display: flex; and margin: auto;
Solution #2
.parent {
width: 400px;
height:200px;
background: blue;
display: flex;
}
.child {
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
background: yellow;
margin:auto;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
show text center
Solution #3
.parent {
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
background: yellow;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content:center;
}
<div class="parent">Center</div>
Using percentage(%) height and width.
Solution #4
.parent {
position: absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%;
background: blue;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content:center;
}
.child {
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
background: yellow;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
Unfortunately — but not surprisingly — the solution is more complicated than one would wish it to be. Also unfortunately, you'll need to use additional divs around the div you want vertically centered.
For standards-compliant browsers like Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc. you need to set the outer div to be displayed as a table and the inner div to be displayed as a table-cell — which can then be vertically centered. For Internet Explorer, you need to position the inner div absolutely within the outer div and then specify the top as 50%. The following pages explain this technique well and provide some code samples too:
Vertical Centering in CSS
Vertical Centering in CSS with Unknown Height (Internet Explorer 7 compatible) (Archived article courtesy of the Wayback Machine)
There is also a technique to do the vertical centering using JavaScript. Vertical alignment of content with JavaScript & CSS demonstrates it.
If someone cares for Internet Explorer 10 (and later) only, use Flexbox:
.parent {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: yellow;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
align-items: center;
}
.centered {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: blue;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="centered"></div>
</div>
Flexbox support: http://caniuse.com/flexbox
A modern way to center an element vertically would be to use flexbox.
You need a parent to decide the height and a child to center.
The example below will center a div to the center within your browser. What's important (in my example) is to set height: 100% to body and html and then min-height: 100% to your container.
body, html {
background: #F5F5F5;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#center_container {
align-items: center;
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}
#center {
background: white;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
}
<div id='center_container'>
<div id='center'>I am center.</div>
</div>
.center {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* (x, y) => position */
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
}
.vertical {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
//left: 0;
transform: translate(0, -50%); /* (x, y) => position */
}
.horizontal {
position: absolute;
//top: 0;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0); /* (x, y) => position */
}
div {
padding: 1em;
background-color: grey;
color: white;
}
<body>
<div class="vertical">Vertically left</div>
<div class="horizontal">Horizontal top</div>
<div class="center">Vertically Horizontal</div>
</body>

Centering only vertically
If you don't care about Internet Explorer 6 and 7, you can use a technique that involves two containers.
The outer container:
should have display: table;
The inner container:
should have display: table-cell;
should have vertical-align: middle;
The content box:
should have display: inline-block;
You can add any content you want to the content box without caring about its width or height!
Demo:
body {
margin: 0;
}
.outer-container {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%; /* This could be ANY width */
height: 100%; /* This could be ANY height */
background: #ccc;
}
.inner-container {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.centered-content {
display: inline-block;
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<div class="outer-container">
<div class="inner-container">
<div class="centered-content">
Malcolm in the Middle
</div>
</div>
</div>

Centering horizontally and vertically
If you want to center both horizontally and vertically, you also need the following.
The inner container:
should have text-align: center;
The content box:
should re-adjust the horizontal text-alignment to for example text-align: left; or text-align: right;, unless you want text to be centered
Demo:
body {
margin: 0;
}
.outer-container {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%; /* This could be ANY width */
height: 100%; /* This could be ANY height */
background: #ccc;
}
.inner-container {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
.centered-content {
display: inline-block;
text-align: left;
background: #fff;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<div class="outer-container">
<div class="inner-container">
<div class="centered-content">
Malcolm in the Middle
</div>
</div>
</div>
See also this Fiddle!
It can be done in two ways
body{
left: 50%;
top:50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
OR
Using flex
body {
height:100%
width:100%
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
align-items:center; makes the content vertically center
justify-content: center;makes the content horizontally center
This is always where I go when I have to come back to this issue.
For those who don't want to make the jump:
Specify the parent container as position:relative or position:absolute.
Specify a fixed height on the child container.
Set position:absolute and top:50% on the child container to move the top down to the middle of the parent.
Set margin-top:-yy where yy is half the height of the child container to offset the item up.
An example of this in code:
<style type="text/css">
#myoutercontainer {position:relative}
#myinnercontainer {position:absolute; top:50%; height:10em; margin-top:-5em}
</style>
...
<div id="myoutercontainer">
<div id="myinnercontainer">
<p>Hey look! I'm vertically centered!</p>
<p>How sweet is this?!</p>
</div>
</div>
I just wrote this CSS and to know more, please go through: This article with vertical align anything with just 3 lines of CSS.
.element {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: perspective(1px) translateY(-50%);
}
For newcomers, please try:
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
The three lines of code using transform works practically on modern browsers and Internet Explorer:
.element{
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
}
I am adding this answer since I found some incompleteness in the previous version of this answer (and Stack Overflow won't allow me to simply comment).
'position' relative messes up the styling if the current div is in the body and has no container div. However 'fixed' seems to work, but it obviously fixes the content in the center of the viewport
Also I used this styling for centering some overlay divs and found that in Mozilla all elements inside this transformed div had lost their bottom borders. Possibly a rendering issue. But adding just the minimal padding to some of them rendered it correctly. Chrome and Internet Explorer (surprisingly) rendered the boxes without any need for padding
CSS Grid
body, html { margin: 0; }
body {
display: grid;
min-height: 100vh;
align-items: center;
}
<div>Div to be aligned vertically</div>
.center{
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
The answer from Billbad only works with a fixed width of the .inner div.
This solution works for a dynamic width by adding the attribute text-align: center to the .outer div.
.outer {
position: absolute;
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.middle {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.inner {
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="middle">
<div class="inner">
Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
Just do it: Add the class at your div:
.modal {
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 240px;
}
And read this article for an explanation. Note: Height is necessary.
I did it with this (change width, height, margin-top and margin-left accordingly):
.wrapper {
width: 960px;
height: 590px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -295px;
margin-left: -480px;
}
<div class="wrapper"> -- Content -- </div>
Not answering for browser compatibility but to also mention the new Grid and the not so new Flexbox feature.

I think a solid solution for all browsers without using Flexbox - "align-items: center;" is a combination of display: table and vertical-align: middle;.
CSS
.vertically-center
{
display: table;

Especially for parent divs with relative (unknown) height, the centering in the unknown solution works great for me. There are some really nice code examples in the article.
It was tested in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
/* This parent can be any width and height */
.block {
text-align: center;
}
/* The ghost, nudged to maintain perfect centering */
.block:before {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-right: -0.25em; /* Adjusts for spacing */
}
/* The element to be centered, can
also be of any width and height */
.centered {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 300px;
}
<div style="width: 400px; height: 200px;">
<div class="block" style="height: 90%; width: 100%">
<div class="centered">
<h1>Some text</h1>
<p>Any other text..."</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
There is a trick I found out recently: You need to use top 50%, and then you do a translateY(-50%).
.outer-div {
position: relative;
height: 150px;
width: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
.centered-div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
transform: translateY(-50%);
background-color: white;
}
<div class='outer-div'>
<div class='centered-div'>
Test text
</div>
</div>

responsive width of (float left) div according to distance to adjacent (float right) div

I am trying to use text ellipsis on a (float left) div which is 'sandwiched' between a (float left) div and a (float right) div.
[float left][float left (needs width for elipsis)] [float right]
My problem is that to use text ellipsis I need to specify width or max-width of the 'sandwiched' div. But I do not know how to do this, because that width depends on the distance to the adjacent (float right) div, which depends on browser window width.
Please check the codepen below. If you shrink the browser window's width you will see that the info icon jumps to next line when colliding with the text I need to ellide.
To put it simply, I would like both L/R arrows and info icon to stay leftmost and rightmos respectively, no matter window width, and the text in the middle to elide according to window width.
I searched and I see I could do this with calc, but I am looking for a not so experimental solution.
Thank you very much.

Keep distance between 2 out of 3 elements equal when scaling window (responsive)

There are 2 img div's on top of each-other, next to a fluid header logo (.svg) also in a div.
The HTML:
<header class="site-header" role="banner" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader"><div class="wrap"><div id="menu_container"><img src="http://95.85.63.245/wp-content/uploads/dynamik-gen/theme/images/Hamburger_optimized.svg" alt="menu" class="menu-btn" /><div class="menu_spacer"></div><img src="http://95.85.63.245/wp-content/uploads/dynamik-gen/theme/images/searchicon.png" alt="zoek" class="search_icon" /></div>
<div class="title-area"><h1 class="site-title" itemprop="headline"></h1></div><div class="vr_menu_logo"><img src="http://95.85.63.245/wp-content/uploads/dynamik-gen/theme/images/logo_VR_font.svg"></div>
</div></header>
The CSS:
.vr_menu_logo{
max-width:95%;
float:left;
margin-right:20px;
}
#menu_container {
max-width: 5%;
float: right;
}
.menu-btn{
cursor: pointer;
max-height: 30px;
max-width: 30px;
margin-top:2em;
}
.menu_spacer{height:4em;}
.search_icon{
cursor: pointer;
max-height: 24px;
max-width: 24px;
}
.site-header .wrap {
width: 1260px;
}
.site-header .wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
float: none;
overflow: hidden;
}
Goal:
Scaling the browser window would keep the small hamburger and the search icon's on level with respectively the top and bottom of the logo. Actually the 3 seperate items should act as one logo.

I was hoping a spacer div with a max-height would do the trick, or display:table-cell;
But I can't get it to work, anyone have an idea? (javascript can be an option too, but this must be possible with CSS I would think...)
here is an example using flexbox - note in the fiddle that the two div are exactly the same apart from having a different height. This should help you getting what you are trying to achieve. Obviously check what kind of browser support you need to provide as flexbox is a relatively new technology.

html:
<div class="flexy f1">
<span class="menu">M</span>
<span class="search">S</span>
</div>
<div class="flexy f2">
<span class="menu">M</span>
<span class="search">S</span>
</div>
css:
.flexy {
float: right;
clear: both;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: space-between;
border: 2px solid red;
margin: 10px;
}
.f1 {
height: 50px;
}
.f2 {
height: 90px;
}
.menu {
background: red;
width: 1em;
}
.search {
background: blue;
width: 1em;
}

Centering text vertically as it grows, in child class

I have a parent container(like a pop-up), in which I have a child element appended to parent container. The child element is a div which has some text. I want to center the text inside the div, so that the text remains center aligned in the child div, but the text should align itself vertically as it grows beyond 3-4 lines. I am able to align text vertically as it grows, but when it still is a small text it should be center vertically, which is not happening. I have tried lot of css properties in the child class.
Any help will be good.
.parentclass {
position: absolute;
top: 110px;
left: 165px;
width: 470px;
height: 260px;
text-align: center;
background-image: url(../images/Notification_BG.png); }
.childclass {
position: relative;
position: inherit;
width: 430px;
height: 192px;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -215px;
margin-top: -96px; /* Negative half of height. */
text-align: center;
text-overflow: -o-ellipsis-lastline;
border: 1px solid blue;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 28px;
color: white; }
Thanks

have u used vertical-align:middle; ?
try this :
.childclass {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
This link will definitely help you:
vertically-center-text-in-a-100-height-div
Use your parentclass display as table and the childclass display as a table-cell and vertical-align:middle will work surely
html
<div class='parentclass'>
<div class='childclass'>Text which is more than two or three lines</div>
</div>
Css
.parentclass {
height: 260px;
text-align: center;
display:table;
}
.childclass {
vertical-align: middle;
width: 430px;
top: 50%;
text-align: center;
text-overflow: -o-ellipsis-lastline;
border: 1px solid blue;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 28px;
color: black;
}
See this fiddle for demo
