How to center a caption and pop up text on an image in html and css

I'm currently trying to code a website for the first time, and have run into the problem that when I'm trying to caption an image in a gallery and add a pop up info slide that it isn't centered under the image, but instead it is to the right of the image. The image should always have a caption, and when you scroll over the image a text box should go up, so that a description could be read. I'm not very sure how to fix the problem since I thought I had already centered the text. If anyone can help me I'll be very grateful.

Position: Absolute; and flexbox structure, will do what you want.
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_flexbox.asp
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp

the solution is to specify the position from left for .text.
(tipp: i think it is a good idea to start with bootstrap. with bootstrap you can build up the basic framework of a website relatively easy, so that it also works on the smartphone. afterwards you can customize everything yourself as you like. to build up the basic framework of a website yourself and make it responsive for different devices is very difficult as a beginner. so you run from one big problem into the next. latest when you start with media-queries, you can hardly keep track of it all.)

slidetoggle in pure Javascript

As you might see I have fixed a kind of text box that will pop up when someone is hovering over that image, but honestly I want a slide-up effect that gone up slowly. Must be completely in pure JavaScript (no jQuery please!). Anyone knows how I can do that.
function show(myText) {
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName(myText)
for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++){
elements[i].style.visibility = "visible";
}
}
function hide(myText) {
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName(myText)
for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++){
elements[i].style.visibility = "hidden";
}
}
.text1 {
position: relative;
bottom: 28px;
text-align: center;
background-color: grey;
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
opacity: 0.7;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
}
.text2 {
position: relative;
bottom: 28px;
text-align: center;
background-color: grey;
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
opacity: 0.7;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
}
<div class="row">

Here is a version of it that's totally javascript free, just using CSS. I'm going to edit this soon with a slight javascript addition (this current version requires you to have a fixed size).
.caption {
height: 250px;
width: 355px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.caption-image {
height: 100%;
}
.caption-text {
color: white;
padding: 10px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
transition: transform 400ms ease;
}
.caption-image:hover + .caption-text,
.caption-text:hover {
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
<div class="caption">
<img class="caption-image" src="http://faron.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Cheese.jpg" />
<div class="caption-text">Some words about how cheesy it is to use a picture of cheese for this example!</div>
</div>
<div class="caption">
<img class="caption-image" src="https://top5ofanything.com/uploads/2015/05/Tomatoes.jpg" />
<div class="caption-text">There's nothing witty to say about a tomato, maybe some you say I say stuff. But honstly I can't think of anything...</div>
</div>
Version with JS sizing:
Basically the same idea, but when the page is loading it sets certain styles so the images can be what ever size you like.
var captionSel = document.querySelectorAll('.caption');
for (let i = 0; i < captionSel.length; i++) {
let image = captionSel[i].querySelector(":scope > .caption-image");
let text = captionSel[i].querySelector(":scope > .caption-text");
text.style.width = image.clientWidth - 20 + "px";
captionSel[i].style.height = image.clientHeight + "px";
}
.caption {
overflow: hidden;
}
.caption-text {
color: white;
padding: 10px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
transition: transform 400ms ease;
}
.caption-image:hover + .caption-text,
.caption-text:hover {
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
<div class="caption">
<img class="caption-image" src="http://faron.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Cheese.jpg" />
<div class="caption-text">Some words about how cheesy it is to use a picture of cheese for this example!</div>
</div>
<div class="caption">
<img class="caption-image" src="https://top5ofanything.com/uploads/2015/05/Tomatoes.jpg" />
<div class="caption-text">There's nothing witty to say about a tomato, maybe some you say I say stuff. But honstly I can't think of anything...</div>
</div>

I'll give it to you even better: No javascript at all!
This is possible with pure CSS:
.tumb-wrapper {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.text {
text-align: center;
background-color: grey;
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
opacity: 0.7;
display: block;
position: absolute;
bottom: -30px;
transition: 300ms;
left: 0;
}
.tumb-wrapper:hover .text {
bottom: 28px;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="tumb-wrapper">
<a href="http://www.bbc.com" target="_blank" class="image">
<img src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/8070603_300x300" class="project" alt="print-screen"/>
<div class="text">AAA</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="tumb-wrapper">
<a href="http://www.cnn.com" target="_blank" class="image">
<img src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/mSKQgjFfPzrjqrG_d33TQZsDecOoVRF-jPKaMDoGIpMLLT1Q09ABicrXdQH6AZpLERY=w300" class="project" alt="print-screen"/>
<div class="text">BBB</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The transition css property animates whatever change you make. This way, when you hover over the .tumb-wrapper div, the .text div will slide up.
You should note however, that ancient IE versions won't be able to use this

I usually do this with only CSS.
Just save the first and second image right next to each other on one file... then you use css to change the position of the background image. To make things nicer i add a css-animation to the movement of the background image.
Example of my code:
<div id="thumb_Wrapper">
<div class="_Thumb">
<img src="images/Thumb.jpg" class="Animate_left">
</div>
</div>
The CSS
#_Container{position:absolute; bottom -60px; right:2px; width:626px; height:100px;}
._Thumb{position:relative; margin-right:4px; width:100px; height:80px; display:block; float:left; background:#EFEFEF; overflow:hidden;}
._Thumb > img{position:absolute; left:0; height:100%; background-size:cover; background-position:center;}
._Thumb > img:hover{left:-18px; cursor:pointer;}
CSS Animation
.Animate_left{transition:left .3s;}
Now all you have to do is swap out the image.
onHover - the image in the thumbnail will smoothly slide to the left; revealing the rest of the image/ showing the other image.
You can set how far to the left(or right) you want the thumb-image to first appear by adjusting the value of 'left' in the ._Thumb class.
You can set how far the image slides on hover by adjusting the img:hover{left:-18px} to what ever you like; instead of 18px.

Uneven Responsive Image/Text Grid with Overlay

I've been trying to create the below layout to no avail. Would someone be kind enough to help me out in either creating a minimal working example or linking to somewhere that would be able to help me out with this?
What I need is a grid where the row heights are the same. With each row containing 2 images and 1 text column (the text column being placed in different locations in each row). The text column needs to be the same height as the images and I'd like the text to be vertically centered but the width of it needs to smaller (half the size). With the images, I'd like to have a white overlay on hover or touch(mobile) with a header and a couple lines for links and one link that will have a video popup (a la fancybox).
I'd like for this to be responsive and adapt to screen sizes. On mobile I'm fine with each box being 100% width but it's the tablet sizes I think I'm having issues with laying this thing out properly. The hover state would obviously need to become a touch state on these platforms.
I'd supply my code if need be but I think I'd like to just start from scratch since I feel like I've just created a huge mess.
I feel like this is something that should be so simple yet I'm having way too many problems with this and I can't seem to find any websites that showcase examples of what I'm trying to create....similar ideas have been found but not exactly what I'm looking for.
Details:
1140px as the max width of the container
444px as the max width of the images
222px as the max width of the text boxes
5px margin/padding
Any help in the right direction would be grateful.

A combination of things here.
Flexbox for the equal heights, max-width where required, paddings/margin for spacing....oh, and positioning for the overlays.

Hide bootstrap panels

I have panel content (not an accordian) setup to be hidden on page load. When a user clicks on one of the tabs, a "hidden" class is removed thus showing the panel content. Then I want to hide the content if the user clicks the tab for the open panel:
$('#section-navigation a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
if ($(this).closest("li").hasClass("active")) {
$('#section-navigation li.active').removeClass("active");
$(".tab-content").addClass("tab-content-hidden");
} else {
$(".tab-content").removeClass("tab-content-hidden");
$(this).tab('show');
}
});
This does show the panel content on first click, hide the panel content on second click of the same tab but it does not remove the "active" class from the panel content "li", and a third click on the same tab does nothing. Example here (coloured panels):
http://hawk.cloudlevel.me/
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/uvvnpp0s/3/
How can I achieve my goal? I appreciate I might have gone about things in completely the wrong way, as I'm inexperienced with JS / jQuery.

Your custom tabs is conflicting with the bootstrap tabs implementation. Best would be have a custom tab implementation.
Here's a quick custom implementation - https://jsfiddle.net/nitincool4urchat/uvvnpp0s/9/
$("a[role=tab]").click(function() {
if ($(this).parent('li').hasClass('active')) {
$(this).parent('li').removeClass('active');
$(".tab-content").addClass('tab-content-hidden');
} else {
$("#section-navigation li").removeClass('active');
$(this).parent('li').addClass('active');
$(".tab-content").removeClass('tab-content-hidden');
$(".tab-content .tab-pane").hide(); //hide all
$($(this).attr('href')).show(); //show the selected one;
}
});

sticky div in page header overlapping page content

I have a "sticky" div that starts in an absolute position and then switches to fixed at top: 0 once the window begins to scroll (I am using it as a navigation bar), but I also have "in-page" links.
My problem is that the sticky overlaps the other content in the body, in other words the top 200px (the size of the navbar) become hidden (beneath the sticky navbar) as soon as they begin to scroll down.
Is this a CSS problem or a JavaScript problem? How can I fix it?
http://jsfiddle.net/b26g1ztu/
javascript:
function sticky_relocate() {
var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
if (window_top > div_top) {
$('#sticky').addClass('stick');
} else {
$('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
}
}
$(function () {
$(window).scroll(sticky_relocate);
sticky_relocate();
});

I think your problem is a bit JS and a bit CSS.
You're using JS/JQuery to toggle between two CSS classes and essentially toggling between absolute and fixed positioning. Further you are using top to make your decisions in JS, but they evaluate to different values when you are in absolute or fixed positioning.
Finally, i'd recommend that you either (a) just stick with fixed positioning and adjust the location (top/left) onscroll or (b) when you are in .stick mode add padding-top:300px to the body or margin-top:300px on body section:first-child
