Shrinking image by 57% and centering inside css structure
- by Johua
Hy, i'm really stuck. I'll go step by step and hope to make it short.
This is the html structure:
<li class="FAVwithimage">
<a href="">
<img src="pics/Joshua.png">
<span class="name">Joshua</span>
<span class="comment">Developer</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
</li>
Before i paste the css classes, some info about the exact goal to accomplish:
Resize the picture (img) by 57%. If it cannot be done with css, then jquery/javascript solution. For example: Original pic is 240x240px, i need to resize it by 57%. That means that a pic of 400x400 would be bigger after resizing.
After resizing, the picture needs to be centered
vertical&horizontal inside a: 68x90
boundaries. So you have an LI element,
wich has an A element, and inside A we
have IMG, IMG is resized by 57% and
centered where the maximum width can
be of course 68px and maximum height
90px. No for that to work i was adding
a SPAN element arround the IMG.
This is what i was thinking:
<li class="FAVwithimage">
<a href="">
<span class="picHolder"><img src="pics/Joshua.png"></span>
<span class="name">Joshua</span>
<span class="comment">Developer</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
</li>
Then i would give the span element: display:block and w=68px, h=90px. But unforunatelly that didn't work.
I know it's a long post but i'v did my best to describe it very simple. Beneath are the css classes and a picture to see what i need.
li.FAVwithimage {
height: 90px!important;
}
li.FAVwithimage a, li.FAVwithimage:hover a {
height: 81px!important;
}
That's it what's relevant. I have not included the classes for: name,comment,arrow
And now the classes that are incomplete and refer to IMG.
li.FAVwithimage a span.picHolder{
/*put the picHolder to the beginning
of the LI element*/
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 68px;
height: 90px;
diplay:block;
border:1px solid #F00;
}
Border is used just temporary to show the actuall picHolder. It is now on the beginning of LI, width and height is set.
li.FAVwithimage span.picHolder img
{
max-width:68px!important;
max-height:90px!important;
}
This is the class wich should shrink the pic by 57% and center inside picHolder
Here I have a drawing describing what i need:
