How to center <div> inside a <button>?

I have a round < button > with a < div > inside that represents a Unicode image. Currently the button is set to border-radius: 12px; height: 24px; and width: 24px; and the < div > is to font-size: 17px. The < div > Unicode image sits inside but not centered and the button is slightly off to the side.
How can I get the < div > to center inside an oval button despite what font-size the < div > is?
EDIT
I want to create a circle/round button with an emoji center to the middle of the button despite the button's size or the emoji image's size.
CSS for the button and emoji image for div:
#emoji-button {
border-radius: 19px;
width: 38px;
height: 38px;
}
#thumb-emoji:after {
content: "\01F44C";
font-size: 20px;
}
And round/circle button with emoji image inside:
<button
type="submit"
id="emoji-button"
>
<div id="thumb-emoji"></div>
</button>
But it is not centered.
And is there a way to just back the emoji image alone to be clickable for a method?

First off:
A <div> is a block element by nature. It will always become 100% wide. If you want it to not be 100% wide, give it a display:inline-block so it won't get bigger than it needs to be. Then give it a margin:0 auto; or a text-align:center on the parent to center it.
HOWEVER, You are not allowed to put <div>s inside of <buttons>. it is invalid HTML
See this answer for more information:
Why can't a <button> element contain a <div>?
Or, you could read here, from W3 that only phrasing content is expected to be used within a button:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20120329/the-button-element.html#the-button-element
If you do not know what phrasing content is, See this page:

Here is a fiddle of a working button like yours:

I honestly didn't have many problems with this. I only replaced your <div> with a span, that's it.

can you post your code?
You should NOT need a div inside the button. If you need the button to have a specific style give it a class. You could do something like this
CSS:
button.something {
padding: 25px;
border-radius: 100%;
font-size: 20px;
border: none;
}
HTML:
<button class="something">👌</button>

For clean and valid code, you'd better use a :before or :after pseudo-element. This would also take care of the centering by default.
It's even easy to set the content. Either in css only, like this:
1.
button:before {content:"\25b6";}
(put your unicode value there and classes/ids as needed, then specify them in turn in css)
2.
Or if you need to specify the value in mark-up, drop a custom data-* attribute like this:
<button data-myunicode="\25b6"></button>
with each button taking it's own value, then drop this single line in css:
button:before {content:attr(data-myunicode);}

Before answering, let's clear some things out.
div is a block level element, used in an inline element, which is the button element. Browsers will consider this invalid and will fix it by removing the block element from the inline element. For more about CSS concepts like box model, box generation please refer to these resources:

Also, if you are using an IDE, make sure you have installed linting/hinting tools to help you out. These tools can help you in code authoring so, make sure you have them. If you are using software like VSCode or Sublime Editor, there are many free code analysis tools out there.
Let's go back to the code now.
You said
I want to create a circle/round button with an emoji center to the
middle of the button despite the button's size or the emoji image's
size.
I went ahead and created a plunk here where I demonstrate this. Essentially, I wrapped the button around a div which serves as a container and through some CSS magic, I made it to have the same height as its width. More on that you can find at this SO answer.
The #emoji-button then has a border-radius: 100% in order to be round, width is inherited from the parent, meaning it has the same as the container and it position is absolute in order to fit in the container.
The #thumb-emoji has changed to a span element. By user agent styles it has text-align:center.
<div class="button-group">
<button type="submit" id="emoji-button">
<span id="thumb-emoji"></span>
</button>
</div>
CSS:
.button-group {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
}
.button-group:before {
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 100%;
}
#emoji-button {
width: inherit;
border-radius: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
#thumb-emoji:after {
content: "\01F44C";
font-size: 200%;
}
You can change the .button-group width to whatever width you want, it will still keep its 1:1 ratio.
You can use then media queries on .button-group to adjust the font-size of your #thumb-emoji, by setting your desired breakpoints.

Show the URL preview in the bottom left of the browser for a clickable div

I have made a div clickable using jquery. Is there a way to also tell the browser to display the target of the clickable div like it does for anchors? (example in the bottom left of the image below)
In answer to those suggesting using an anchor tag - That's not the question I asked. I want to avoid using anchor tags as that requires changing a lot of html, rather than a small amount of jquery. And even if changing the html to use anchors is the correct thing to do - it will still be useful to know if this is possible.
Edit it seems this is not easilly possible, but an alternative suggested by Pete, using jquery to wrap the div in an anchor works fine (better than I thought it would)

Just use a normal link and hide it:
a {
opacity: 0;
font-size: 100px;
}
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div>
hidden link
</div>

Placing a Line and Text over Regular Inline Text in HTML/CSS

I have a body of text in regular paragraph form that I'd like to annotate with footnotes, and I'd like it to be clear on what exact text from the paragraph the footnote is commenting, so I'd like to have a line (with endpoints/arrowheads/etc. if possible) over the text, with the footnote number in the center, like so:
<--- 1---> <------ 2 ------>
Hi, here's some text to annotate, isn't it so cool?
I appreciate any pointers on how to do this with HTML/CSS/JS, if it's even possible.

Here's one way you can do it:
.annotation {
border-top: dashed 2px black;
position: relative;
}
.annotation::after {
content: attr(data-footnote);
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: -1.15em;
}
<p><span data-footnote="1" class="annotation">Hi, here's</span> text to annotate, <span data-footnote="2" class="annotation">isn't it so cool?</span>
</p>
The <span> (or it could be an <a href> link to the footnote itself) wraps the text. By putting position: relative on it, that allows the child pseudo-element to be absolutely positioned relative to it.
Then the border and positioning takes care of the dashing and number. Arrowheads would be harder though.... maybe they can be done with a background image, but I haven't trued.
You'll want to make sure the line-height in the paragraph is big enough so the number above doesn't overlap with other lines of text.

How to blur content behind div? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Closed 10 years ago.
Possible Duplicate:
Blur Img's & Div's in HTML using CSS
So basically what I want to do is to blur content witch is behind a div element, that div is with opacity 0 - 0.5.
Here is a jsFiddle
EDIT[1]: What I actually want is that a div goes over an image and the area under the div is blured.
EDIT[2]: div with position: absolute goes over other elements and blur's them.

You should blur image on upload. Then crop other image on upload (or crop it using jQuery/css). Then combine what you have to achieve this effect.
Using css for this task is impossible. Using javascript for this task is bad idea (very slow).
Only option is to use this technique on background image and then place another (cropped with js/upload) ontop of it.

Following up on the answer by Purmou referenced in the comment by #Keith Nicholas, you could do something like:
topblur{
position: absolute;
top:2px;
left:2px;
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
background-image:url(http://www.stefanides.com/home/yard/back%20yard.jpg);
opacity: 40;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
border: thin solid black;
}
Not a great solution, but it does mess the image up!

How do I remove the gray border that surrounds background images?

I've come across an interesting problem in the following line of code:
<img style="background-image:url(Resources/bar.png); width: 300px; height: 50px;"/>
In Safari (at least), a gray border surrounds the 300x50px area. Adding style="border: none;" doesn't remove it. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mike

So, you have an img element that doesn't have a src attribute, but it does have a background-image style applied.
I'd say that the gray border is the 'placeholder' for where the image would be, if you'd specified a src attribute.
If you don't want a 'foreground' image, then don't use an img tag - you've already stated that changing to a div solves the problem, why not go with that solution?

You can also add a blank image as a place holder:
img.src='data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhFAAUAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAAUABQAAAIRhI+py+0Po5y02ouz3rz7rxUAOw=='
This should do the trick!

Actually, this seems to work at least on Chrome:
img {
content: "";
}

The following will use css to set the src to a tiny transparent image which solves the src attribute issue while maintaining control from image:
content:url('data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7')
My overall approach is to define the following in my reset.css, then use a class to provide the actual image and control it. This behaves just like an img, but is entirely css controlled.
img {
display: -moz-inline-box;
-moz-box-orient: vertical;
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
vertical-align: middle;
*
vertical-align: auto;
font: 0/0 serif;
text-shadow: none;
color: transparent;
background-size: contain;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
img:not([src]) {
content: url('data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7');
}
.myuniqueimage {
background-image: url('../images/foobar.png');
height: 240px;
}
Thanks to +programming_historian and +binnyb for the data:image tip

try <img border="0" />
That should do the trick.
EDIT
Sorry I see you are doing something very wrong.. you are setting a background image on a img tag.. that doesn't really make sense...
instead of a imagetag use a
<div style="background-image: url(Resources/bar.png);"></div>
or if it is a image you want in that area use a
<img src="Resources/bar.png" border="0" Width="500px" Height="300" />

img tags need a src attribute.
e.g.,
<img src="Resources/bar.png" alt="bar" width="300" height="50" />
But img is only for inline (foreground) images. If you actually want the image to be a background of something, you need to apply the style to the actual element you want it to be the background of:
<div style="background-image:url(Resources/bar.png);">...</div>

Tried setting the border to 0px?
EDIT: Yes, you are meant to have background images in the css of another class. Doing it in div or in the body tag (depending what your trying to do) will work. It also stops the background image being a element in itself which would screw the flow of the elements on the page and mess your positioning up.
<div class="myDivClass">content to go on TOP of the background image</div>
CSS:
.myDiVClass
{
background: url(Resources/bar.png) no-repeat;
width: 300px;
height: 50px;
}
or
<div class="myDivClass" style="background: url(Resources/bar.png) no-repeat; width: 300px; height: 50px;">content to go on TOP of the background image</div>
It's best to keep CSS seperate as it otherwise defeats part of the point though.

I had a similar issue where my initial HTML had an IMAGE tag with no source. My Javascript determined which image to show. However before the image was loaded the user saw the placeholder box.
<img id="myImage">
My fix was to update the initial image tag CSS to
#myImage {
display:none;
}
And then used a JQuery to show it once its content was loaded.
$('#myImage')
.attr('src', "/img/" + dynamicImage + '.png')
.fadeTo(500, 1);

Try setting this instead of background-image:
background: url(Resources/bar.png) no-repeat;

if is happening only in Safari and not in other browsers try to reset the browser CSS using something like YUI CSS RESET
The correct way it would be to separate the css from code and to have a CSS class for the image.
<img src='whatever.png' alt='whatever' class='className' />
and in the css to define what className looks like.
,className {border:0;}

I know this is an old question but I found this useful..
In the case that your Resources/bar.png is a foreground image in the form of a sprite, it makes sense to use an img tag rather than a div. When you do this it can help to have a 1px transparent image file which you use for the src attribute, then set the background image as you do here e.g.
<img src="transparent.png" style="background: url(sprite.png) x y" />
Here you set x and y to be the pixel position on the sprite that you want the image to start at. This technique is also explained at: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp
Of course the downside of this is that there is an extra request, but it you're always using the same transparent image for you sprites it's not a massive deal.

Try this one, it worked for me(on chrome and Safari). That was not the border but the shadow, so please add this line to the tag:
{-webkit-box-shadow:none;}
Hope it works for you too.

add an empty src="" to your image component if your using as a background-image in css the square will disappear
<image class=${styles.moneyIcon} src="" ></image>
