bootstrapTable: how to vertical align the detail-icon?

Question

I'm using bootstrapTable and ran into the following problem:

In every row of my table a preview picture is shown so that the row height is greater than 'normal' and the content in the remaining columns is placed on top. I want to vertical-align the text/buttons/checkboxes in those columns. By using the options align: 'center' and valign: 'middle' for the columns one can achieve this - at least for the 'normal' ones. It has no effect on the columns containing the checkboxes and the detail icons ('plus'-icons).

I added

.bs-checkbox {
    text-align: center !important;
    vertical-align: middle !important;
}

to my css file and received the desired result. But an analog way for the detail-icon class went wrong. I found similar questions on Stackoverflow - but the answers didn't help me.

Has anyone an idea to fix my problem?

Here an example:

 var data = [ { "id": 0, "name": "Item 0", "price": "$0", "preview": '<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/lamp.jpg" alt="Lamp" height="50">' }, { "id": 1, "name": "Item 1", "price": "$1", "preview": '<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/lamp.jpg" alt="Lamp" height="50">' }, { "id": 2, "name": "Item 2", "price": "$2", "preview": '<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/lamp.jpg" alt="Lamp" height="50">' } ]; $(function () { $('#table').bootstrapTable({ columns: [ { field: 'state', checkbox: true, align: 'center', valign: 'middle' }, { field: 'id', title: 'ID', align: 'center', valign: 'middle', sortable: true }, { field: 'name', title: 'Name', sortable: true, align: 'center', valign: 'middle', editable: { type: 'text', title: 'Name', validate: function (value) {return '';} } }, { field: 'price', title: 'Price', align: 'center', valign: 'middle', editable: { type: 'text', title: 'Price', validate: function (value) {return '';} } }, { field: 'preview', title: 'Preview', align: 'center', valign: 'middle' } ], data: data }); }); 

 .bs-checkbox { text-align: center !important; vertical-align: middle !important; } /* won't work:*/ .detail-icon { text-align: center !important; vertical-align: middle !important; }

Answer 1

You are actually going to want to set those properties on the table cells themselves, not the elements in the cells.

#table td {
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center;
}

This should do the trick.
