Aligning a rotated paragraph in the middle of its parent container

Here is my current progress: http://jsfiddle.net/2Zrx7/2/

.events{
    height:100px;
    position: relative;
}
.tt_username{
    position: absolute;
    top:0px;
    height: 100%;
    width: 30px;
    background: #ccc;
    text-align: center;
}

.tt_username p{
    -webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);  
    -moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(270deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(270deg);
    transform: rotate(270deg);
    background: #ff0000;
    font-size: 16px;
}

I am looking for a way to center the text inside the gray div. Even though the div's height remains constant, the text is dynamically generated through ajax. Due to this reason, I don't think the transform origin will help solve it. I prefer a CSS solution, but open to using JavaScript as well.

Answer №1

To achieve vertical alignment using CSS, you can use a combination of display: table, display: table-cell, and vertical-align: middle.

Check out this working example: http://jsfiddle.net/2Zrx7/3/

.events{
    height: 100px;
    position: relative;
    display: table; /* added */
}
.tt_username{
    /* position: absolute;*/
    top: 0px;  
    height: 100%;
    width: 30px;
    background: #ccc;
    text-align: center;
    display: table-cell; /* added */
    vertical-align: middle; /* added */
}

.tt_username p{
    -webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);  
    -moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(270deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(270deg);
    transform: rotate(270deg);
    background: #ff0000;
    font-size: 16px;
}
