How do I center a text over an image in css?
<div> <img src="sample.png"/> <div> <h2>Some text</h2> </div> </div> I want to do something like the one below but I'm having difficulties, here's my current css
<style> .image { position: relative; } h2 { position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 0; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; width: 300px; height: 50px; } </style> 
When I use background-image I do not get any output from html2pdf:
<style> #image_container{ width: 1000px; height: 700px; background-image:url('switch.png'); } </style> <a href="prints.php">Print</a> <?php ob_start(); ?> <div></div> <?php $_SESSION['sess'] = ob_get_contents(); ob_flush(); ?> Here's prints.php:
<?php require_once('html2pdf/html2pdf.class.php'); ?> <?php $html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('L', 'A4', 'en'); $html2pdf->writeHTML($_SESSION['sess']); $html2pdf->Output('random.pdf'); ?> 7 Answers
How about something like this:
Its done by using position:absolute and z-index to place the text over the image.
#container { height: 400px; width: 400px; position: relative; } #image { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; } #text { z-index: 100; position: absolute; color: white; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; left: 150px; top: 350px; }<div> <img src="" /> <p> Hello World! </p> </div>This is another method for working with Responsive sizes. It will keep your text centered and maintain its position within its parent. If you don't want it centered then it's even easier, just work with the absolute parameters. Keep in mind the main container is using display: inline-block. There are many others ways to do this, depending on what you're working on.
Based off of Centering the Unknown
HTML
<div> <div> <h4>Your Text is responsive and centered</h4> </div> <img src=""/> </div> CSS
.containerBox { position: relative; display: inline-block; } .text-box { position: absolute; height: 100%; text-align: center; width: 100%; } .text-box:before { content: ''; display: inline-block; height: 100%; vertical-align: middle; } h4 { display: inline-block; font-size: 20px; /*or whatever you want*/ color: #FFF; } img { display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } Why not set sample.png as background image of text or h2 css class? This will give effect as you have written over an image.
For a responsive design it is good to use a container having a relative layout and content (placed in container) having fixed layout as.
CSS Styles:
/*Centering element in a base container*/ .contianer-relative{ position: relative; } .content-center-text-absolute{ position: absolute; text-align: center; width: 100%; height: 0%; margin: auto; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; z-index: 51; } HTML code:
<!-- Have used ionic classes --> <div> <div><!-- container with position relative --> <div ><a href="#"><img ng-src="img/engg-manl.png" alt="ENGINEERING MANUAL" title="ENGINEERING MANUAL" ></a></div> <!-- Image intended to work as a background --> <h4><strong>ENGINEERING <br> MANUALS</strong></h4><!-- content div with position fixed --> </div> <div><!-- container with position relative --> <div><a href="#"><img ng-src="img/contract-directory.png" alt="CONTRACTOR DIRECTORY" title="CONTRACTOR DIRECTORY"></a></div><!-- Image intended to work as a background --> <h4><strong>CONTRACTOR <br> DIRECTORY</strong></h4><!-- content div with position fixed --> </div> </div> For IONIC Grid layout, evenly spaced grid elements and the classes used in above HTML, please refer - Grid: Evenly Spaced Columns. Hope it helps you out... :)
as Harry Joy points out, set the image as the div's background and then, if you only have one line of text you can set the line-height of the text to be the same as the div height and this will place your text in the center of the div.
If you have more than one line you'll want to set the display to be table-cell and vertical-alignment to middle.
2as of 2017 this is more responsive and worked for me. This is for putting text inside vs over, like a badge. instead of the number 8, I had a variable to pull data from a database.
this code started with Kailas's answer up above
.containerBox { position: relative; display: inline-block; } .text-box { position: absolute; height: 30%; text-align: center; width: 100%; margin: auto; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0; font-size: 30px; } .img-responsive { display: block; max-width: 100%; height: 120px; margin: auto; padding: auto; } .dataNumber { margin-top: auto; }<div> <img src=""> <div class='text-box'> <p class='dataNumber'> 8 </p> </div> </div>A small and short way of doing the same:
.image { position: relative; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 100%; height: 300px; color: white; background: url(') no-repeat; background-size: 250px 250px; }<div> <p> <h3>Heading 3</h3> <h5>Heading 5</h5> </p> </div>
