Set equal height of specific elements using CSS only?



I have 2 columns of data, in each column I have a paragraph and an image. I am wondering if there is a CSS-only method of making the paragraphs have the same height so that the images line up. I know I could loop through with JavaScript to find the tallest paragraph and set the height of the other to that, but I'm hoping to find a CSS solution if possible.



Additionally, I cannot modify the DOM structure.




.container
display:flex;

.col
padding:0 15px;


<div class="container">
<div class="col">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi fringilla ultrices nulla ac tempus.</p>
<img src="http://placehold.it/250x100" />
</div>
<div class="col">
<p>Nam mauris mi, eleifend et rutrum at, dignissim nec elit. Aliquam lacinia tincidunt leo, et pellentesque nibh ultricies ut. Etiam elit purus, blandit ac consequat a, dictum a dolor. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
<img src="http://placehold.it/250x100" />
</div>
</div>

I'm not sure Arup's example does what you expect - images still don't align. The answer has been updated.



Here's what should work for you:


.container
display:flex;


.col
padding:0 15px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: flex-end;


.col p
flex: 1;



We set the main axis to be our y axis by using flex-direction and we justify the content such that everything in a col div sits at the bottom of this axis. Setting flex: 1; on the paragraph allows the paragraph to grow in order to occupy the free space in the div.


y


flex-direction


col


flex: 1;





I updated it.. I misread it first time.

You can use flexbox for that, too. See the comments in CSS (borders added just for clarity):




.container
display: flex;

.col
padding:0 15px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column; /* causes the image to go under the paragraph */
align-items: flex-start; /* images would stretch over the entire .col width without this */
border: 1px solid red;


.col p
flex: 1; /* makes the paragraph grow to the tallest height available */
border: 1px solid blue;


<div class="container">
<div class="col">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi fringilla ultrices nulla ac tempus.</p>
<img src="http://placehold.it/250x100" />
</div>
<div class="col">
<p>Nam mauris mi, eleifend et rutrum at, dignissim nec elit. Aliquam lacinia tincidunt leo, et pellentesque nibh ultricies ut. Etiam elit purus, blandit ac consequat a, dictum a dolor. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
<img src="http://placehold.it/250x100" />
</div>
</div>



Add below styles.


.container
display:flex;


.col
padding: 5px 15px;
border: 1px solid #999;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: space-between;

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
