vertically align text and buttons

Question

I wanted to center both the buttons and the text vertically, but the text as seen in the photo

is lower than the rest. If I remove the buttons, the text goes to center as it should, but if I leave the buttons, the text goes back down (How i wish it was).

 .song { /*DivButtonTitle*/ margin-bottom: 3px; color: #551A8B; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'flat'; height: 80px; border-top: solid 1px #551A8B; border-bottom: solid 1px #551A8B; width: 100%; line-height: 80px; padding: 0px; } 

 <div class="song"> <button class="start" id="1" name="Gentleman-GUE/01._T_Apposto.mp3" onclick="togglePlay(this.id, this.name)"></button> <button class="restart" onclick="toggleRestart()"></button> <a>T'Apposto</a> </div> 

Answer 1

flexbox to the rescue.

Just add:

  display: flex;
  align-items: center;

IE:

 .song { /*DivButtonTitle*/ margin-bottom: 3px; color: #551A8B; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'flat'; height: 80px; border-top: solid 1px #551A8B; border-bottom: solid 1px #551A8B; width: 100%; line-height: 80px; padding: 0px; display: flex; align-items: center; } 

 <div class="song"> <button class="start" id="1" name="Gentleman-GUE/01._T_Apposto.mp3" onclick="togglePlay(this.id, this.name)">start</button> <button class="restart" onclick="toggleRestart()">restart</button> <a>T'Apposto</a> </div>

Try to take your text in <span id ='foo'> Your text here </span>

And then you can edit it as you want to in your CSS.

Answer 3

One way that would work is to use flexbox:

 .song { display: flex; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 3px; color: #551A8B; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'flat'; height: 80px; border-top: solid 1px #551A8B; border-bottom: solid 1px #551A8B; width: 100%; padding: 0px; } .song button { margin-right: 10px } 

 <div class="song"> <button class="start"></button> <button class="restart"></button> <a>T'Apposto</a> </div> 

Answer 4

Try this out for your CSS:

.song{/*DivButtonTitle*/
margin-bottom:3px;
color:#551A8B;
font-size:35px;
font-family:'flat';
height:80px;
border-top:solid 1px #551A8B;
border-bottom:solid 1px #551A8B;
width:100%;
line-height: 80px;
padding:0px;
}

and add the following to a class associated with your buttons:

.buttonClass{
vertical-align:middle;
}
