Question

I have the this piece of code here…

 <div class="pics2">

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; display: block; z-index: 4; opacity: 1; width: 225px; height: 200px;"> // this div is generated via jQuery Plugin
<div style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle; height:200px;">
<img src="upload/<?php echo $array['image5'] ?>" width="225" />
</div>
</div>
</div>

and here is the CSS

.pics2 {  
    padding: 0;  
    margin-left:20px auto;
    margin-right:20px auto;
    width:225px;
    height:200px;
    overflow:hidden;
        float:left;
}

.pics2 div{
    width:225px;
    height:200px;
}

.pics2 img {    
        background-color: #eee;
    margin: auto;
    display:block;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

What I am trying to do is vertically align the image inside three divs, the code above works in every single browser except IE7…any one got any ideas how to fix it?

Answer 1

I hope it will help to resolve your issue(Some cheats for IE 7 in the bottom of the article)

Vertically Center Multi-Lined Text

For Example code like this

margin-top: expression((parentNode.offsetHeight.offsetHeight/2)-(parseInt(this.offsetHeight)/2) <0 ? "0" :(parentNode.offsetHeight/2)-(parseInt(this.offsetHeight)/2) +'px');

instead of

 vertical-align:middle;

1. parentNode.offsetHeight/2 – determines the container’s height and divide it by 2. This gives us a margin exactly half the height of the screen
2. -(parseInt(offsetHeight)/2)) – determines the height of the centering block.
