Footer bar add center text

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I thought it looked familiar. When I checked yesterday the central text part was missing, so I’ll add that via the console and develop from there. This will only be visible for my browser session so no impact to anyone else.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I see the issue. Use my CSS still, but from your CSS, remove

#floatright {
    display: flex;
}

You should land up with

#floatcenter {
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #666666 !important;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
    width: 50%;
}

@phenomlab

Nope same problem with :

#floatcenter {
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #666666 !important;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
    width: 50%;
}
 
.textcenter {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    font-weight: 800 !important;
}
 
 
#floatright {
    float: right;
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    /*display: flex;*/
}

@DownPW try with

display: inherit;

[DownPW]

@phenomlab On floatright ?

[DownPW]

@DownPW Test in floatright = same result

[phenomlab]

@DownPW sorry. Try either

display: inline;

Or

display: inline-block;

You might need !important depending on cascading settings

Edit - for clarity, this should be in the #floatcenter block

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Houra, it’s OK with inline-block

On the other hand, I see that the text is well centered in the div but I notice that the div itself is not centered.
Indeed I see a substantial space between the floatcenter div and floatright div.
You can see it in the screenshot below.

Again my HTML/CSS

<div id="floatcenter"> Some centered text
    </div>

#floatcenter {
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #666666 !important;
    margin: auto auto;
    text-align: center;
    width: 50%;
    display: inline-block !important;
}

@DownPW strange. I don’t recall seeing that issue when I created this using the console live on your site. This is likely due to width constraints on the parent div.

In the above CSS you could try to set width to auto rather than 50%, but then you will need to set width: 100%; on the parent div

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

I have test with width: 50%;, I have the floatright OK with not space like before but the text is not centered.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW ok. Let me have a look at this later. Can you leave everything as it is - I know it doesn’t look right but I want to make sure the right css is provided for the html you are using and it’s easier to do this live.

Perhaps set the floatcenter element to be hidden for the time being?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Yep I will set display: none on floatcenter div for waiting

I notice I can centered the text when I play with margin-left for example but is not auto-centered according to the text

It’s still better but I would like it to center automatically based on the text rather than manually.

we will get there

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Ok, try this

#floatcenter {
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #666666 !important;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center !important;
    max-width: 50%;
}
#floatright {
    float: right;
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    display: flex;
    position: sticky;
}

Don’t add to the CSS blocks you have - you need to replace them. This should yield the below - see the position markers - the lilac is centered on the screen, whilst the other two div tags occupy the remainder.

There is a caveat in the sense that this doesn’t scale very well - mostly because of the existing position: fixed; and the need to set position: sticky; on the right-most element of #floatright. Based on this, it would be sensible to hide #floatcenter on the mobile breakpoints to prevent the text from overlapping.

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Ah ok you play with max-width: 50%; on floatcenter and position: sticky; on floatright

That’s smart I didn’t necessarily think of that.

---

The result is perfect except on smartphone as you said.

–> I tried this as usual but it doesn’t work. An idea?

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    #floatcenter {
        display: none !important;
    }  
}

EDIT: Yep this code works for not display floatcenter div. I must find for floatright div
EDIT2: Ok @phenomlab with floatright div with this code :

@media (max-width: 767px) {
#floatright {
    float: right;
    bottom: 1px;
    font-size: 90%;
    line-height: 2.3;
    display: flex !important;
    position: static;
} 
}

If you have a better solution tell me Mark

A big big thank you bro

[phenomlab]

@DownPW that should work - unless it’s inherited higher up in the cascade. If you resize the browser to match a mobile device, does it appear in the DOM?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW said in Footer bar add center text:

A big big thank you bro

No, that should work and it’s a good mix. Just watch for very large displays as you may get unexpected placing of elements, but I doubt anyone will ever encounter this unless they run their browser using the entire screen estate.

Highly unlikely I think.

@phenomlab

I did the test on my desktop 34-inch screen in browser full screen and it works, then goes on my smartphone. (OnePlus 8T)

Everything is fine unless I missed something

I mark as solved

[phenomlab]

@DownPW that’s great news. Seems to work on my 32" desktop monitor fine, and also on my OnePlus 9 Pro

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

very odd, there are a bug :

–> floatright text is invisible only on Firefox and is OK on chromium browser with the same code ?!

[DownPW]

Other bug :

On home page. I must scroll down to see the footerbar.
She’s not appear directly
