无法垂直居中模式图像

Question

I'm working on this photo gallery where after clicking on the image thumbnail opens a modal to show the image in full size.

The modal works perfectly but the image doesn't show up in the center when the image is short in height. By center I mean vertically. Horizontally it is perfectly at the center.

The modal code was taken from W3School's website and I changed the html and css a bit by removing the caption.

WHAT I TRIED:

I tried centering the modal by adding the following code in .modal class:

  top:50%; 
  left:50%; 
  transform:translate(-50%, -50%); 

Also tried margin: 0 auto . But nothing seems to be working.

Here's the working version of the modal with an image which is not centered vertically:

 // Get the modal const modal = document.querySelector(".modal"); // Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption const img = document.querySelectorAll(".myImg"); const modalImg = document.querySelector(".img01"); img.forEach((item) => { item.onclick = function(e) { modal.style.display = "block"; modalImg.src = e.target.src; } }); // Get the <span> element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]; // When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "none"; } window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = 'none'; } }

 .myImg { border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; -webkit-transition: 0.3s; -o-transition: 0.3s; transition: 0.3s; } .myImg:hover { opacity: 0.7; } .modal { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 999; padding-top: 35px; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); } /* Modal Content (image) */ .modal-content { margin: auto; display: block; } /* Add Animation */ .modal-content { -webkit-animation-name: zoom; -webkit-animation-duration: 0.6s; animation-name: zoom; animation-duration: 0.6s; } @-webkit-keyframes zoom { from { -webkit-transform: scale(0) } to { -webkit-transform: scale(1) } } @keyframes zoom { from { -webkit-transform: scale(0); transform: scale(0) } to { -webkit-transform: scale(1); transform: scale(1) } } /* The Close Button */ .close { position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; -webkit-transition: 0.3s; -o-transition: 0.3s; transition: 0.3s; } .close:hover, .close:focus { color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; }

How can I center it vertically?

Answer 1

add this to .modal-content

position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);

Answer 2

This should center the modal image. Check in full screen view.

Edit: one line JS, two line CSS. (rest is your code)

 // Get the modal const modal = document.querySelector(".modal"); // Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption const img = document.querySelectorAll(".myImg"); const modalImg = document.querySelector(".img01"); img.forEach((item) => { item.onclick = function(e) { modal.style.setProperty("display", "flex", "important"); modalImg.src = e.target.src; } }); // Get the <span> element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]; // When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "none"; } window.onclick = function(event) { if (event.target == modal) { modal.style.display = 'none'; } }

 .myImg { border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; -webkit-transition: 0.3s; -o-transition: 0.3s; transition: 0.3s; } .myImg:hover { opacity: 0.7; } .modal { display: none; position: fixed; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 999; padding-top: 35px; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); } .center-img{ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; } /* Modal Content (image) */ .modal-content { margin: auto; display: block; } /* Add Animation */ .modal-content { -webkit-animation-name: zoom; -webkit-animation-duration: 0.6s; animation-name: zoom; animation-duration: 0.6s; } @-webkit-keyframes zoom { from { -webkit-transform: scale(0) } to { -webkit-transform: scale(1) } } @keyframes zoom { from { -webkit-transform: scale(0); transform: scale(0) } to { -webkit-transform: scale(1); transform: scale(1) } } /* The Close Button */ .close { position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; -webkit-transition: 0.3s; -o-transition: 0.3s; transition: 0.3s; } .close:hover, .close:focus { color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; }
