vertically alignment of a text inside a button with an image

Question

In this CodePen you can see a <button> with an image and text inside ( <span> ). The problem is when the text got multiline. The second line of text is not immediately close to the first line and a big space appears (taking in count the height of the <img> ).

My code ( on CodePen ):

 button { width: 300px; } img { vertical-align: middle; } 

 <button> <img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50/" /> <span> Some Text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text</span> </button> 

Answer 1

You can use the following solution using flexbox:

 * { margin:0; padding:0; box-sizing:border-box; } button { align-items: center; display: flex; padding: 3px; justify-content: center; width: 300px; } button img { flex-shrink: 0; margin-right: 10px; } 

 <button> <img src="https://lorempixel.com/50/50/" alt=""> <span>Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text</span> </button> <button> <img src="https://lorempixel.com/50/50/" alt=""> <span>Some Text</span> </button> <button> <img src="https://lorempixel.com/50/50/" alt=""> </button>

Answer 3

Try to do it like this way. There are other methods also, but this one is simple.

 button { width: 300px; } button img { float:left; width:20%; } button span { float:right; width:80%; } 

 <button> <img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50/" /> <span> Some Text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text</span> </button>
