javascript - How to center the img element in a div, as shown in the example below

Question

Html code

<style>
    p {
        overflow: hidden ;
    }
    img {
        height: 100% ;
        width: auto ;
    }
</style>

<p>
    <img src='//foo.com/foo.jpg' />
</p>

Example picture of desired effect

The red area is p, the green area is img

In other words, img is wider

The width of img is not fixed, so you cannot use fixed margin-left to solve it

There is a way, but instead of using the img tag, add background-image to p.

p {
    background-image: url(image-url);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
}

Wrap another layer.

<p id="wrapper">
    <p id="wrapper2">
        <img src="demo_img3.jpg" alt="" />
    </p>
</p>

#wrapper{
    position: relative;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
}
#wrapper2{
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
}
img{
    margin-left: -50%;
}

The width of

wrapper2 is the img width. The margin-left of img is equal to half of its own width, which is equivalent to left:-50%*width

In fact, we want to achieve the effect of horizontal centering. Here are four methods to achieve horizontal centering (Note: In each example below, the alignment operation of the child element is implemented, and the parent container of the child element is the parent element)

Use inline-block and text-align to achieve

.parent{
    text-align: center;
}
.child{
    display: inline-block;
}

Advantages: good compatibility;

Disadvantages: need to set child elements and parent elements at the same time

Use margin:0 auto to implement

.child{
    width:200px;
    margin:0 auto;
}

Advantages: good compatibility

Disadvantages: need to specify the width

Use table implementation

.child{
    display:table;
    margin:0 auto;
}

Advantages: You only need to set yourself

Disadvantages: IE6 and 7 need to adjust the structure

Use absolute positioning to implement

.parent{
    position:relative;
}
.child{
    position:absolute;
    left:50%;
    transform:translate(-50%);
}

Shortcomings: poor compatibility, available for IE9 and above

Practical flex layout implementation

the first method

.parent{
    display:flex;    
    justify-content:center;
}

The second method

.parent{
    display:flex;
}
.child{
    margin:0 auto;
}

Disadvantages: Poor compatibility, if a large area is laid out, efficiency may be affected

P is wrapped outside. When img.onload, js calculates the width and assigns it to the outer layer. Center the outer content

First give p a position:relative;
Then give img a {

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

}
If it is not compatible with c3, you can give img{

position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom:0;
right:0;
margin:auto;

}

p {
    background-image: url(image-url);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
}

Answer 2

Positioning picture marginleft:-(width/2) As for the width of img is not fixed, it can be obtained by js and then dynamically set marginleft

Answer 3

Wrap another layer.

<p id="wrapper">
    <p id="wrapper2">
        <img src="demo_img3.jpg" alt="" />
    </p>
</p>

#wrapper{
    position: relative;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
}
#wrapper2{
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
}
img{
    margin-left: -50%;
}

wrapper2的宽度是img宽度。img的margin-left就等于自身宽的一半，相当于left:-50%*width

Advantages: You only need to set up yourself

First give p a position:relative;
and then give img a {

If it is not compatible with c3, you can give img{

position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom:0;
right:0;
margin:auto;

}

        margin: -(图片高度/2) 0 0 -(图片宽度/2)
    }
}

4 用flex

Answer 9

One layer of p on the outside, and one layer of p on the inside to limit the size of the picture

Answer 10

You can take a look if you don’t consider compatibility issues object-fit
