WDS53 - Align Everything

In the last article, we learned about inline-blocks in CSS which helps us to get the same effect as we get by using float and clear properties. Hope you have tried examples given in the previous article. In today's article, we are going to learn about align property in CSS so that you can align text wherever you want.
Let's begin...

Center Align Element

To horizontally center a block element:
margin:auto;
If you set up the specified width, the element will take that much space and remaining space will be split equally between the two margins.

Center Align Text

To center the text inside any element:
text-align: center;

Center an Image

To center an image, change the image into a block element and set left and right margin to auto.
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

Left or Right Align Element

  • Using Position
Let us see how to right align element...
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
  • Using Float
Let us see how to right align element...
float: right;

Vertically Center Element

  • Using padding
You can set padding fro element for top and bottom to vertically align it.
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
  • Using position
Let's say we have a div element and it has text element inside it. This is how we will center the text element:
div {
   position: relative;
}
text {
    position: absolute;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%)'
}

Note: transform property does not work in Internet Explorer(😏), but that's OK...👍
That's all for today. In the next article, we will see how we can combine two elements in CSS to apply properties on them.
Till then #keepCoding.

WDS5 - Inspect HTML and Other Tags

In the last article we learned: 3 Important HTML Rules Nested and empty elements HTML Attributes   Let's start today with some important points: HTML Headings  We have already seen HTML headings represented by tags <h1> to <h6> where <h1> is most important heading while <h6> is least important heading. Now I am mentioning some important points which you should follow when using HTML headings: Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web pages. This is important because you should always follow an order of heading tags. <h1> should be used for main heading, <h2> for less important subheadings and so on. In fact, it is commonly followed a system of using only one <h1> tag in the document to represent heading of your document and nowhere else. Heading tags should only be used for headings and not for making text bigger or bold. Different tags are used for this operations and we will ...
