Why are things so difficult in CSS? I want a box, with a toggle switch inside it, with text on either side that is vertically centered.
No matter what I try, the divs containing the text end up vertically staggered relative to the div containing the toggle switch.
I've read a dozen other SO questions about vertical centering...none of them seem to apply. Isn't there some operative principle here?
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/cinerobert/h7g31bqa/
HTML:
<div id="div-yesnotoggle">
<div id="div-notext">No</div>
<div id="div-switch">
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="slider round"></div>
</label>
</div>
<div id="div-yestext">
Yes
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#div-yesnotoggle {
border: solid;
width: 160px;
display: inline-block;
}
#div-notext {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
display: inline-block;
border: solid;
width: 40px;
}
#div-switch {
border: solid;
display: inline-block;
width: 60px;
}
#div-yestext {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
display: inline-block;
border: solid;
}
Remove padding on each of the elements and apply on the main container and apply vertical-align:middle on the swith
check the following snippet
#div-yesnotoggle {
border: solid;
width: 160px;
display: inline-block;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
#div-notext {
display: inline-block;
border: solid;
width: 40px;
}
#div-switch {
border: solid;
display: inline-block;
width: 60px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#div-yestext {
display: inline-block;
border: solid;
}
.switch {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 60px;
height: 34px;
}
.switch input {
display: none;
}
.slider {
position: absolute;
cursor: pointer;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #ccc;
-webkit-transition: .4s;
transition: .4s;
}
.slider:before {
position: absolute;
content: "";
height: 26px;
width: 26px;
left: 4px;
bottom: 4px;
background-color: white;
-webkit-transition: .4s;
transition: .4s;
}
input:checked + .slider {
background-color: #2196F3;
}
input:focus + .slider {
box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}
input:checked + .slider:before {
-webkit-transform: translateX(26px);
-ms-transform: translateX(26px);
transform: translateX(26px);
}
/* Rounded sliders */
.slider.round {
border-radius: 34px;
}
.slider.round:before {
border-radius: 50%;
}
<div id="div-yesnotoggle">
<div id="div-notext">No</div>
<div id="div-switch">
<label class="switch">
<input type="checkbox">
<div class="slider round"></div>
</label>
</div>
<div id="div-yestext">
Yes
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps
