Set boundaries for square dimensions and placement within the parent container

Struggling to confine a square within specific size constraints while keeping it neatly aligned within the parent container. Balancing these requirements has proven challenging.

The layout consists of a main div with two columns on the left and a div occupying the remaining space on the right. The goal is to have the square contained within the right div, staying within its bounds. Although I can prevent it from moving when not using padding-bottom for square dimensions, the image quality suffers.

Please review my js bin. To access the square, follow this path: Weapons -> item b1 -> click to stabilize.

Adding padding-bottom causes the square to shift downwards, expanding beyond the parent container and disrupting the layout entirely.

CSS:

.itempanel{
  display: block;
  align-items: center;
  position: relative;
}
.itemcontainer{
  position: relative;
  top: 30%;
  height: 60%;
  width: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;

}
.itemdisplay{
  display:none;
  flex-direction: column;
  width: 60%;
  padding-bottom: 60%;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  position: relative;
  align-items: center;
  overflow: hidden;
}
/* .itemdisplay::after{
  content: " ";
  display: block;
  padding-bottom: 100%;
} */

HTML:

<div class="itempanel">
    <div class = "itemcontainer">
      <div id="itemdisplay" class="itemdisplay">
        <img id="itemimg" class="itemimg" src=""></img>
        <div id="itemdesc" class="itemdesc">
          <div id="itemtitle" class="itemtitle"></div>
          <div id="itembody" class="itembody"></div>
          <a id="itemclick" class="itemclick" href="">Click To Place Order</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

* A bit of context - planning a Skyrim-themed wedding at my girlfriend's request, so creating an RSVP website. Belethor's shop will cater to non-gamers interested in affordable cosplay outfits. Everything else is functioning as desired, except for the placement of itempanel/itemcontainer/itemdisplay within the designated area.

Answer №1

Solved the puzzle. The pseudo element needs to be aligned with the padding you're applying. For example, utilizing this approach yielded the desired outcome. Always amazed by how simple solutions can be...

.itemdisplay::after{
  content: " ";
  display: block;
  padding-top: 100%;

Answer №2

Your coding skills are impressive - I noticed you've created a class called .bottommenu, but it doesn't seem to be applied in your HTML or JavaScript files. To display two rows using Flex-box when unsure about image or content height, you can set the parent container's height to auto and use align-self: flex-end on the child container for item positioning. Additionally, you can customize the layout with justify-content or align-content. Here's an example:


div .parent {
   display:flex;
   height: auto;
   min-width: 300px;
}

div .child {
   align-self: center;
   width: 100%;
   min-height: 50%;
   height: auto;
   margin: 0 auto;
}

I hope this explanation proves helpful!
