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.
<div class="row1">
<div class="column1">
<img src="img/hi_bild.jpg" height="200px" width="200px">
<figcaption> John Smith</figcaption>
<div class="text">
<p>This is a cat</p>
<span class="arrow-link">ARROW IMG HERE</span>
</div>

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.)

How can you convert this single slideshow script to multiple slideshows

I have found this code online which can create a slideshow perfectly fine
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/simple-auto-playing-slideshow/
Can somebody tell me how to adjust the code so it can work for multiple slideshows?
I have tried many attempts and failed and was hoping someone can work it out.
Thanks
Daniel

Use class instead of id, then loop through the slideshow, ie like this:
$.each($(".slideshow > div:not(:first-child)"), function() {
$(this).hide();
});
setInterval(function() {
$.each($(".slideshow"), function() {
$(this).children().first()
.fadeOut(1000)
.next()
.fadeIn(1000)
.end()
.appendTo(this);
});
}, 3000);
.slideshow {
margin: 50px auto;
position: relative;
width: 240px;
height: 240px;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
.slideshow > div {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
}

Rescaling images based off parent image in Bootstrap

I am using bootstrap to add responsive images to my webpage. The problem is that I have several overlapping images which then don’t get rescaled correctly.
Diagram Example
Not sure if I’ve set something up wrong, am missing something or trying to over-reach beyond what bootstrap can do.
This is the test code I’m using, I’ve kept it generic.
HTML:
<div class="col-lg-12" >
<!-- Images inside the container image that are not being rescaled -->
<div class="children_Images">
<img class="img-responsive" id="image_1" src="insideImage_1.png" alt="" style="left: 0.6em; top: -0.5em"/>
<img class="img-responsive" id="image_2" src="insideImage_2.png" alt="" style="left: 0.6em; top: -0.5em"/>
<img class="img-responsive" id="image_3" src="insideImage_3.png" alt="" style="left: 0.6em; top: -0.5em"/>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container{
border: 2px solid red;
position: relative; /* Allows children to be placed relative to the panel */
font-size: 10px;
z-index: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container img{
max-width:100%;
width: auto;
position: absolute;
border:5px solid green;
}
.children_Images
{
transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
}
.children_Images:hover
{
transform: scale(1.05) translate(4em);
}
I’m just wondering if this is possible with CSS and Bootstrap or should I be doing something with JavaScript that rescales all the children images once the parent image’s size has been altered?

What you should do is this
<div class="container">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<img src="" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<img src="" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<img src="" alt="" />
</div>
</div>
And css
.container img {
max-width: 100%;
}

playing fadein/fadeout slider on tab button click

I have created a Fadein/Fadeout slider. Left button and right button are working fine but I want to play slider by clicking on tab buttons.
JSfiddle
HTML
<p id="slide1_controls">
<div class="block-icon icon-s1">
<img class="block-img icon-s1" src="../_images/building_icon1.png" data-hover-image="../_images/building_icon1_hover.png" data-selected="false" />
</div>
<div class="block-icon icon-s2">
<img class="block-img icon-s2" src="../_images/building_icon2.png" data-hover-image="../_images/building_icon2_hover.png" data-selected="false" />
</div>
<div class="block-icon icon-s3">

</p>
<div class="slider-text-context" id="target">
<div class="slide-01 fade-texts active">tab1</div>
<div class="slide-02 fade-texts">tab2</div>
<div class="slide-03 fade-texts">tab3</div>
<div class="slide-04 fade-texts">tab4</div>
</div>
CSS
.fade-texts {
width: 100%;
height: 259px;
left: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
.slider-btn-area {
position: absolute;
z-index: 8;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
left: 25%;
top: 54%;
width: 50%;
}
#target > div {
display:none;
}
#target div:nth-child(1) {
display:block;
}
.tab-area {
position: absolute;
left: 25%;
top: 30%;
}
Javascript
$(".icon-s2").click(function() {
activeElem = $("#target .slide-02");
activeElem.removeClass('active').fadeOut(0);
if (!activeElem.is(':first-child')) {
activeElem.removeClass('active').fadeOut(0).prev().addClass('active').fadeIn(400);
}
}
$(".icon-s3").click(function() {
activeElem = $("#target .slide-03");
activeElem.removeClass('active').fadeOut(0);
if (!activeElem.is(':first-child')) {
activeElem.removeClass('active').fadeOut(0).prev().addClass('active').fadeIn(400);
}
}
When I press the tab it does not work to try to appear a DIV.

Your code made no sense. The way it looked was that the images had to be clicked in order to fadeIn/Out the tabs. I believe it should be the other way. I cleaned up the markup, and simplified the classes, ids, styles, etc...
Here's the DEMO
HTML
<div id="slides">
<div id="slide1" class="slide active">
<img class="img" src="http://placehold.it/150x50/000/Fff.png&text=FIRST" />
</div>
<div id="slide2" class="slide">
<img class="img" src="http://placehold.it/150X50/048/Fee.png&text=SECOND" />
</div>
<div id="slide3" class="slide">
<img class="img" src="http://placehold.it/150X50/fa8/375.png&text=THIRD" />
</div>
<div id="slide4" class="slide">
<img class="img" src="http://placehold.it/150X50/9a7/a10.png&text=FOURTH" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="tab-area" id="controls">
<div id="tab1" class="tab">1</div>
<div id="tab2" class="tab">2</div>
<div id="tab3" class="tab">3</div>
<div id="tab4" class="tab">4</div>
</div>
CSS
.slide {
display:none;
}
.active {
display: block;
}
.tab {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 10px;
outline: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
}
jQuery/JavaScript
$(function () {
$('.tab').on('click', function (event) {
var tabID = event.target.id;
//console.log('tabID: '+tabID);
var order = tabID.split('b').pop();
//console.log('order: '+order);
var pos = parseInt(order, 10);
var slideID = 'slide'+pos;
//console.log('slideID: '+slideID);
var act = document.getElementById(slideID);
//console.log('act: '+act.id);
$('.slide').fadeOut(0).removeClass('active');
$(act).addClass('active').fadeIn(750);
});
});

How to force the image to display given height and width without stretching in HTML DIV Tag?

I need some help to make the image fit inside the DIV Tag with provided height and width and should not stretch. As a few images are Landscape and a few are Portrait, I need to force them to fit into the DIV OR IMG Tag.
<div class="frame" style="">
<img id="photo" src="http://pocketlink.epocketlife.com/ImageRepository/images/events/ADEBAB1C-4FAF-4D65-A43D-A02978B76340/7adb104b-5140-45d9-a694-56cf5112917d.png">
</div>
This is one of the Examples I found, you may implement there.
http://jsbin.com/vikanovaya/edit?html,css,output

You will need to use some CSS position trickery to achieve what you want but hopefully one of these examples will do what you want.
Example 1 - A Single Image
In the example below, the image will grow or shrink when the image hits the edge of the container. If you resize the example horizontally or vertically it will never crop. (Try the fullscreen example for instance).
Requires: CSS Only
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: "Segoe UI Light", "Helvetica Neue LT", "Helvetica Ultra LT", "Roboto", Arial, sans-serif;
}
.gallery {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);
border-radius: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 20px;
left: 20px;
right: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: 2;
}
.gallery .imageWrapper {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
.gallery .imageWrapper img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
<div class="gallery isFullScreen">
<div class="imageWrapper">
<img src="http://via.placeholder.com/3500x1500" />
</div>
</div>
Example 2 - Thumbnails
In this example there are two images that don't conform to their containers aspect ratio. They are resized so that their longest edge hits the div first and then they are centered. All thumbnail containers should now be the same size and images that do not conform shrink to fit.
Requires: CSS Only
.galleryArea {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
padding: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.galleryArea .imageWrapper {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
float: left;
background: #fff;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition {
position: absolute;
top:0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
<div id="contentGallery" class="galleryArea">
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/150x400" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x100" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="imageWrapper">
<div class="imagePosition">
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x300" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
Example 3 - Thumbnails that Stretch
In this example, the two images that do not conform to their containers aspect ratios are now stretched so that their shortest edge expands to fill the container and their longest edge overflows. This makes the end result a little neater but requires JavaScript to help things along.
Requires: CSS and JavaScript (jQuery)
$(window).on("load", function() {
orientateGalleryImages($("#contentGallery").children().children().children("img"));
});
function orientateGalleryImages(images) {
images.each(function() {
var thisImage = jQuery(this);
if(thisImage.height() > thisImage.width()) {
thisImage.addClass("portrait");
} else if(thisImage.width() > thisImage.height()) {
thisImage.addClass("landscape");
} else {
thisImage.addClass("square");
}
});
}
.galleryArea {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
padding: 10px;
display: flex;
}
.galleryArea .imageWrapper {
position: relative;
width: 10%;
padding-top: 10%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition {
position: absolute;
top: -50%;
left: -50%;
width: 200%;
height: 200%;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition img.landscape {
max-height: 50%;
height: 50%;
left: -50%;
margin-left: 25%;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition img.portrait {
max-width: 50%;
width: 50%;
}
.galleryArea .imagePosition img.square {
max-width: 50%;
