Text alignment related coding questions

👩‍💻 Technical question

In CSS, how can I use vertical-align to make the text show at the bottom of its box?

You can use the vertical-align CSS property, and set its value to bottom to align the text at the bottom of its containing element. Note that this property only works on inline and table-cell elements.

css
Copy code
.element { vertical-align: bottom; }

Here's an example that demonstrates how it works: https://codepen.io/team/css-tricks/pen/eac7f574c15555e25ff959b48fbf8f7d

In CSS, how can I make text aligned bottom of its box?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

To align text to the bottom of its box in CSS, you can use the vertical-align property. However, this property only works for inline-level and table-cell elements. If you're trying to align a block-level element's contents to the bottom of the element, there are a couple of ways to achieve it.

One way is to use display: flex on the parent element and align-self: flex-end on the child element. For example:

css
Copy code
.parent { display: flex; /* set height of parent element */ height: 200px; } .child { align-self: flex-end; }

Another way is to use position: absolute on the child element and set its bottom property to 0. For example:

css
Copy code
.parent { /* set position of parent element to relative */ position: relative; /* set height of parent element */ height: 200px; } .child { position: absolute; bottom: 0; }

Please note that using absolute positioning may cause other elements to overlap or shift out of position, so use with caution and adjust as needed.

My h1 is not altering when the page is widened to be centred

To alter the h1 element when the page is widened to be centered, you need to add some CSS. You can use media queries to apply specific styles to the h1 element when the page width is wider than a certain width.

Here's an example using CSS:

css
Copy code
h1 { text-align: center; } @media screen and (min-width: 768px) { h1 { text-align: left; } }

The above code centers the h1 element for all screen sizes, but when the screen width is wider than 768 pixels, it changes the text alignment to left. You can adjust the pixel value to fit your specific needs.

👩‍💻 Technical question

why is my ul list is not centered with bulletpoints

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.55 seconds

To center an unordered list (ul) with bullet points, you need to apply the "text-align: center" property to the element containing the unordered list.

css
Copy code
.parent-element { text-align: center; } .parent-element ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .parent-element ul li { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

This CSS code sets the text alignment of the parent element to center, then removes the bullets from the ul list and the default margin/padding. Finally, it sets margin/padding to 0 for each individual li element.

Here is an example of how this CSS code would center an unordered list with bullet points: https://jsfiddle.net/9h4zcbdm/

👩‍💻 Technical question

how can i align an image and a text in a column

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.18 seconds

To align an image and text in a column, you can use HTML and CSS. You can use a combination of display: flex, and align-items: center to center the items in the column.

Here's an example code snippet in HTML and CSS:

html
Copy code
<div class="container"> <img src="yourimage.jpg" alt="Your Image"/> <p>Your text goes here.</p> </div>
css
Copy code
.container { display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; }

In the HTML, we have a div element with a class of container, which contains an img element and a p element.

In the CSS, we're using the display: flex property on the .container class to make it a flex container. We're also setting the flex-direction property to column to stack the items vertically. Finally, we're using the align-items property to center the items vertically within the container.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how can align my texts left in bootstrap divs?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.18 seconds

To align your texts left in Bootstrap divs, you can add the class text-left to the div containing your text. This will align the text to the left. See example below using HTML:

html
Copy code
<div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 text-left"> <h2>Your Title Here</h2> <p>Your text here</p> </div> </div> </div>

In the above example, the text-left class is added to the div that contains the text, which will make the text align to the left.

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
