Vertical Align Center not working for div text alignment
Question
I am trying to vertically align and I can not find the solution. I have read so many stack overflow questions and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is my HTML:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<form class="order-form">
<div class="row first-row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order 123456789</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order Date: 8/28/18</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order Status: OP</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Ready Status: RD</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 v-middle">
<span>Facility 123 Dudley Chip-N-Saw</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
and here is my SCSS:
$font-family: "roboto", "open-sans";
body {
font-family: $font-family;
padding-top: 5%;
.order-form {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
display: block;
label {
display: block;
}
.first-row {
font-size: 16px;
.v-middle {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
}
}
}
I a using Bootstrap v3 so I can not use the alignment classes Bootstrap 4 provides. I am not sure what else is required for vertical align besides display being inline. I know vertical alignments do not work on block level items. Please help Thanks!
Here is my codepen: https://codepen.io/sazad/pen/BOZWOV
but Please shrink screen to make sure when the line breaks the text is vertically aligned middle. Thanks!

Your .v-middle elements inherit float from the col-.. elements, thats why you can't vertically align them. Simply add float: none to that class to fix it.
You will also have a problem with whitespaces in-between display: inline-block elements. A lot of ways to fix those, my favourite fix for those is adding font-size: 0 to parent.
Final code:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12">
<form class="order-form">
<div class="row first-row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order 123456789</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order Date: 8/28/18</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Order Status: OP</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-2 v-middle">
<span>Ready Status: RD</span>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 v-middle">
<span>Facility 123 Dudley Chip-N-Saw</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
$font-family: "roboto", "open-sans";
body {
font-family: $font-family;
padding-top: 5%;
.order-form {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
display: block;
label {
display: block;
}
.first-row {
font-size: 0;
.v-middle {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
float: none;
font-size: 16px;
}
}
}
}
Also a small suggestion. Don't nest selectors that heavily (for ex. order-form doesn't need to be nested inside body ).
