This code snippet is for creating background images using image sprites. when hovering over the image that background image should change.

I want to center those social media icons in that div element. I tried background-position: center center but it didn't work. Here I attached an output of the above code snippet. That isn't centered properly. What can I do to center all images in each div elements enter image description here

Solution

  • You need to adjust the background-position for all the icons.

    .social-media-icon{
    display: inline-flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

}

.social-media-icon a{
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    border: 2px solid #c3d4e2;  

    height: 36px;
    width: 36px;
    background: url(https://i.sstatic.net/eSmLc9vI.png);

}
.social-media-icon a:hover{
    background-color: #c3d4e2;
}

.fb-icon a{
    background-position: 2px 2px; 

}
.fb-icon a:hover{
    background-position: 2px 2px;
}

.x-icon a{
    background-position:-36px 0 ; 
}

.x-icon a:hover{
    background-position: -36px -36px ; 
}

.youtube-icon a{
    background-position: -71px 2px ; 
}
.youtube-icon a:hover{
    background-position: -71px -34px ; 
}

.insta-icon a{
    background-position: -106px 2px ; 
}
.insta-icon a:hover{
    background-position: -106px -34px ; 
}
    <div class="social-media">
<div class="fb-icon social-media-icon icon">
    <a href="">

        <span class="social-text">fb</span>
    </a>
