Bootstrap 3.0 - Vertically Align 3 Panels in The Same Row (Auto Height)

vertical-align with Bootstrap 3

This answer presents a hack, but I would highly recommend you to use flexbox (as stated in @Haschem answer), since it's now supported everywhere.

Demos link:

- Bootstrap 3

- Bootstrap 4 alpha 6

You still can use a custom class when you need it:

.vcenter {    display: inline-block;    vertical-align: middle;    float: none;}

<div class="row">    <div class="col-xs-5 col-md-3 col-lg-1 vcenter">        <div style="height:10em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>    </div><!--    --><div class="col-xs-5 col-md-7 col-lg-9 vcenter">        <div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>    </div></div>

Bootstrap 3 / CSS: How to properly vertically align in panel heading

DEMO: http://jsbin.com/yowis/2/edit

<div class="panel-heading clearfix">

This will clear the float issue. That's what the issue is.

If you want both the text and the image:

<div class="panel-heading clearfix">

and the CSS is:

.panel-heading {line-height:32px;}

If you don't want to add clearfix, put this anywhere in your css:

.panel-heading:before {
  content: " ";
  display: table;
}
.panel-heading:after {
  clear: both;
}

Vertical align 3 panel panel-default so they are all the same height

I think what you're looking for is something like this..

http://www.bootply.com/iH9uUHI4Zs

.flex, .flex > div[class*='col-'] {  
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -moz-box;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: flex;
    flex:1 0 auto;
}

It uses CSS flexbox to make the height of the columns in a row the height of the tallest.

How can I make Bootstrap columns all the same height?

LATEST SOLUTION (2022)

Solution 4 using Bootstrap 4 or 5

Bootstrap 4 and 5 use Flexbox by default, so there is no need for extra CSS.

Demo

<div class="container">
    <div class="row ">
        <div class="col-md-4" style="background-color: red">
          some content
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4" style="background-color: yellow">
          catz
          <img width="100" height="100" src="https://placekitten.com/100/100/">
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4" style="background-color: green">
          some more content
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Solution 1 using negative margins (doesn't break responsiveness)

Demo

.row{
    overflow: hidden; 
}

[class*="col-"]{
    margin-bottom: -99999px;
    padding-bottom: 99999px;
}

Solution 2 using table

Demo

.row {
    display: table;
}

[class*="col-"] {
    float: none;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: top;
}

Solution 3 using flex added August 2015. Comments posted before this don't apply to this solution.

Demo

.row {
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display:         flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.row > [class*='col-'] {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

Same height column bootstrap 3 row responsive

You can achieve this by using javascript. Find out the biggest height of the 4 divs and make all of them at the same height like the biggest one.

Here is the code:

$( document ).ready(function() {
    var heights = $(".well").map(function() {
        return $(this).height();
    }).get();

    maxHeight = Math.max.apply(null, heights);

    $(".well").height(maxHeight);
});

How to vertically align div inside Bootstrap 3 column

This is one way to do it, and is more crossbrowser supported than flexbox.

http://jsfiddle.net/p9ou30g7/3/

.logoCont {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%; left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    height: 50%;
    width: 50%;
    background: red;
}

Bootstrap - panels with same height and width

I think you want something like this:

Setting separated for ease of reference.

.equal {
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -moz-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
}

div[class*='col-'] {
  flex:1 1 auto;
  background: lightblue;
  display: flex;
}
.panel {
  flex:1 0 100%;
}

Vertical Align Center in Bootstrap 4

Important! Vertical center is relative to the height of the parent

If the parent of the element you're trying to center has no defined
height, none of the vertical centering solutions will work!

Now, onto vertical centering...

Bootstrap 5 (Updated 2021)

Bootstrap 5 is still flexbox based so vertical centering works the same way as Bootstrap 4. For example, align-items-center, justify-content-center or auto margins can used on the flexbox parent (row or d-flex).

• use align-items-center on a flexbox row parent (row or d-flex)
• use justify-content-center on a flexbox column parent (d-flex flex-column)
• use my-auto on a flexbox parent

Bootstrap 4

You can use the new flexbox & size utilities to make the container full-height and display: flex. These options don't require extra CSS (except that the height of the container (ie:html,body) must be 100%).

Option 1 align-self-center on flexbox child

<div class="container d-flex h-100">
    <div class="row justify-content-center align-self-center">
     I'm vertically centered
    </div>
</div>

https://codeply.com/go/fFqaDe5Oey

Option 2 align-items-center on flexbox parent (.row is display:flex; flex-direction:row)

<div class="container h-100">
    <div class="row align-items-center h-100">
        <div class="col-6 mx-auto">
            <div class="jumbotron">
                I'm vertically centered
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

https://codeply.com/go/BumdFnmLuk

Option 3 justify-content-center on flexbox parent (.card is display:flex;flex-direction:column)

<div class="container h-100">
    <div class="row align-items-center h-100">
        <div class="col-6 mx-auto">
            <div class="card h-100 border-primary justify-content-center">
                <div>
                    ...card content...
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

More on Bootstrap 4 Vertical Centering

Now that Bootstrap 4 offers flexbox and other utilities, there are many approaches to vertical
alignment. http://www.codeply.com/go/WG15ZWC4lf

1 - Vertical Center Using Auto Margins:

Another way to vertically center is to use my-auto. This will center the element within it's container. For example, h-100 makes the row full height, and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column.

<div class="row h-100">
    <div class="col-sm-12 my-auto">
        <div class="card card-block w-25">Card</div>
    </div>
</div>

Vertical Center Using Auto Margins Demo

my-auto represents margins on the vertical y-axis and is equivalent to:

margin-top: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;

2 - Vertical Center with Flexbox:

Since Bootstrap 4 .row is now display:flex you can simply use align-self-center on any column to vertically center it...

       <div class="row">
           <div class="col-6 align-self-center">
                <div class="card card-block">
                 Center
                </div>
           </div>
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
                    Taller
                </div>
          </div>
    </div>

or, use align-items-center on the entire .row to vertically center align all col-* in the row...

       <div class="row align-items-center">
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-block">
                 Center
                </div>
           </div>
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
                    Taller
                </div>
          </div>
    </div>

3 - Vertical Center Using Display Utils:

Bootstrap 4 has display utils that can be used for display:table, display:table-cell, display:inline, etc.. These can be used with the vertical alignment utils to align inline, inline-block or table cell elements.

<div class="row h-50">
    <div class="col-sm-12 h-100 d-table">
        <div class="card card-block d-table-cell align-middle">
            I am centered vertically
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Important! Did I mention height?

Remember vertical centering is relative to the height of the parent element. If you want to center on the entire page, in most cases, this should be your CSS...

body,html {
  height: 100%;
}

Or use min-height: 100vh (min-vh-100 in Bootstrap 4.1+) on the parent/container. If you want to center a child element inside the parent. The parent must have a defined height.
