On: How to Center in CSS (2015)

[mpawelski]

Centering in CSS is "solved" problem if your "worst" browser to support is IE11. Flexbox does the job there.

However, there are still couple of common tasks that are pain/hard/impossible to do with just CSS.

Recently I learned that after all this years you still need to use JS to get css animation for dynamic height ("height:auto") of elements.

And there is no progress in fixing it at CSS standard level. It's just sad... https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/626 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3508605/how-can-i-transi... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3508605/how-can-i-transi...

There are some tricks you can use if you know the max possible height your element can have, but it's not great, yeah.

Edit: Oh, I just saw that the stackoverflow question you linked has this for the accepted answer :)

The problem is the animation speed is overly fast if you're at less than that maximum height.
