I'm trying for some days to vertically align the .sl_container.
I have tried vertical-align: middle, but that doesn't work.
If i specify a height and width for the .slideshow, then using top: 50%; and transform: translateY(-50%);, that works. See here.
The problem is that if i remove the height and width for the slider to take up the available space and adapt, then the this will make the inner div appear moved upwards. See here.
display: table-cell; was not an option as it would have the arrows at the sides of the full width of the parent div instead of on the image.
I've tried flex before, and it gets vertically aligned, but if the parent DIV width is bigger than the child DIV, for some reason it goes to
As I said, I’ve tried multiple ways and there is not a single one that gets it done well without breaking the arrow positions.
What I’ve done until now: JSFiddle
The before mentioned settings are commented out in the CSS section.
Any insight to this would be helpful as to a way or how to get it aligned without breaking the whole slide and arrows.
FYI: There is a bleeding effect from the DIV's or images expanding like 1-2px to the bottom, reason why I have each DIV coloured to see if I can fix it. I'm sure it something silly and if you know what it is, please say so. It’s not important so I don’t really care much. xD
Add this to your slideshow element, using flexbox. Flex Needs prefixing for IE11 (caniuse)
.slideshow {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Edit: I enabled the commented height and width styles in your jsFiddle, but this method will vertically align slideshow child regardless of width and height.
