垂直对齐不起作用（带有表格单元格显示）

Question

I have this code: http://jsfiddle.net/5qLDz/ inside which I want to have images vertically aligned to bottom of the container (with some padding from container itself). It doesn't work even with li having display: table-cell and both li and img having vertical-align:bottom set. What can it be?

Please stop posting solutions using position: absolute . As you can see in my code, I used text-align: center which is important there.

Answer 1

One simple fix is to set the line-height to be the same as the container height:

ul.thumbnails li {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    text-align: center;
    background: grey;
    padding-bottom: 22px;
    height: 222px;
    line-height: 222px;
    display: table-cell;
}
ul.thumbnails li img {
    border-radius: 5px;
    bottom: 22px;
    vertical-align: bottom;
}

That seems to work, http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/5qLDz/20/

You only need to declare vertical-align: bottom on the img rule.

However, if you add other elements like captions or social media links this could affect how you implement the solution.

For the love of god don't use display:table-cell just to vertically align something. Just using relative positioning will also do this far more easily: forked Fiddle .

Only changed the parent to position:relative and the child to position:absolute .

Update your CSS:

div.left section.box ul.thumbnails {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
ul.thumbnails li {

  text-align: center;
  background: grey;
  height: 222px;
  position:relative;    
}
ul.thumbnails li img {
  border-radius: 5px;
  bottom: 22px;
  position:absolute;
}
