How can I vertically center a child container in a section that fills the remaining viewport after the navbar, which reduces the section height?
To vertically center a child container in a section that dynamically adjusts its height based on the remaining viewport space after a navbar, you can follow these steps:
STEP 1: SET UP THE STRUCTURE
- Create a section element as the immediate parent of your child container. This section will serve as the main container for your content.
- Add a navbar above the section element, ensuring it takes up the desired height.
- Set the section's height to "100vh" so that it fills the remaining viewport after the navbar.
STEP 2: APPLY FLEXBOX STYLING
- Select the section element and go to the Styles panel.
- Set the display property to "flex" to enable Flexbox.
- Set the align-items property to "center". This will vertically center the child container within the section.
- Optionally, you can set the justify-content property to "center" if you want to horizontally center the child container within the section as well.
STEP 3: STYLE THE CHILD CONTAINER
- Select the child container element within the section.
- Apply any desired styles, such as setting a max-width, adding padding or margins, or adjusting the text alignment.
By following these steps, your child container should now be vertically centered within the section, which in turn fills the remaining viewport after the navbar. Keep in mind that the height of the section will dynamically adjust based on the amount of content in the child container.
