In col-2, I am trying to center the "WHAT" text over the image.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2">
<div class="stackParent">
<img class="stack-Img" src="img/base.png">
<div class="stack-Txt">
<div class="fourWsText stack-Txt-child">WHAT</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-10">
...Variable length content...
</div>
</div>
As we resize the browser, the row height will change so that everything in col-10 fits. I am using object-fit:contain to keep the image proportions correct. I need the "stack-Txt" div to resize with the image so that the text will stay centered over the image
Or maybe you know of a better way to achieve this?
Current Idea: Put WHAT in another child div, make flex, center text with justify-content/align-items & JS addEventListener to window resize, get the img div and set nextSibling size equal to this.
These were the css classes at some point... but the only important thing is that the img doesn't overflow the col-2 or the height (which is variable based on the length of col-10)
.stackParent {
position: relative;
object-fit: contain;
max-width: inherit;
height: 20vh;
}
.stack-Txt {
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
max-height: 15vh;
min-height: 15vh;
z-index: 4;
}
.stack-Txt-child {
}
.stack-Img {
position: absolute;
object-fit: contain;
max-width: inherit;
min-height: 15vh;
max-height: 15vh;
top: 0%;
left: 0%;
z-index: 3;
}
*Note: I also have media queries to resize text, but this shouldn't make a difference.
The text "what" is in center over the image in any screen resolution.
.stackParent{
display: flex;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.stack-Img{
position: absolute;
margin: 0;
min-height: 15vh;
max-height: 15vh;
}
.stack-Txt{
z-index: 99;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2">
<div class="stackParent">
<img class="stack-Img" src="img/base.png">
<div class="stack-Txt">
<div class="fourWsText stack-Txt-child">WHAT</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-10">
...Variable length content...
</div>
</div>
If you are using Bootstrap 5 you can just use the built-in classes to achieve so.
.position-relative to the main div parent.img-fluid to <img /> to make image responsive.position-absolute, .top-50, .start-50, translate-middle to stack-Txt to center it vertically and horizontally over the image.<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">

</div>If you don't, just edit your CSS as follow:
.stackParent {
position: relative
}
/* make image responsive */
.stack-Img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.stack-Txt {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
color: white;
