CSS: Element's Height Based on The Image Height Next to It

Set the height of an image to match the height of the text next to it

The answers I had received all had flaws in them which I discovered (such as if the page width was decreased, the image would be messed up) and overall, they were over-complicated.

After some research, a help from a friend who I 'collaborated' with over JsFiddle and a subsequent question which I posted, I have this code which solves my question of how to set the images's height the same as the adjacent text to it:

$("#here").find('img').css("height", $(".text").outerHeight());
var $img = $("#here").find('img');$img.on('load', function() {  $("#here").find('img').css("height", $(".text").outerHeight());});
window.onresize = function() {  $("#here").find('img').css("height", $(".text").outerHeight());}

img {  float: left;}p:last-of-type {  margin-bottom: 0px;}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script><div id="here">  <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMzg2Mjg1OTk0NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjQ4MTA3Mw@@._V1_SX300.jpg" id="img">  <div class="text">    <h2>Example</h2>    <p>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</p>    <p>Example Example</p>    <p>Length: 111 min</p>    <p>Example Example Example</p>    <p>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</p>  </div></div>

Variable image height based on content height

OK. that answear would be very short:-) You have to add only h-auto in this line:

<div className="bg-rose-400 h-fit md:w-1/2 flex flex-col p-4 md:p-6 h-auto">

CSS: How can I set image size relative to parent height?

Original Answer:

If you are ready to opt for CSS3, you can use css3 translate property. Resize based on whatever is bigger. If your height is bigger and width is smaller than container, width will be stretch to 100% and height will be trimmed from both side. Same goes for larger width as well.

Your need, HTML:

<div class="img-wrap">
  <img src="http://lorempixel.com/300/160/nature/" />
</div>
<div class="img-wrap">
  <img src="http://lorempixel.com/300/200/nature/" />
</div>
<div class="img-wrap">
  <img src="http://lorempixel.com/200/300/nature/" />
</div>

And CSS:

.img-wrap {
  width: 200px;
  height: 150px;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0;
}

div > img {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  min-height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Voila! Working: http://jsfiddle.net/shekhardesigner/aYrhG/

Explanation

DIV is set to the relative position. This means all the child elements will get the starting coordinates (origins) from where this DIV starts.

The image is set as a BLOCK element, min-width/height both set to 100% means to resize the image no matter of its size to be the minimum of 100% of it's parent. min is the key. If by min-height, the image height exceeded the parent's height, no problem. It will look for if min-width and try to set the minimum height to be 100% of parents. Both goes vice-versa. This ensures there are no gaps around the div but image is always bit bigger and gets trimmed by overflow:hidden;

Now image, this is set to an absolute position with left:50% and top:50%. Means push the image 50% from the top and left making sure the origin is taken from DIV. Left/Top units are measured from the parent.

Magic moment:

transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

Now, this translate function of CSS3 transform property moves/repositions an element in question. This property deals with the applied element hence the values (x, y) OR (-50%, -50%) means to move the image negative left by 50% of image size and move to the negative top by 50% of image size.

Eg. if Image size was 200px × 150px, transform:translate(-50%, -50%) will calculated to translate(-100px, -75px). % unit helps when we have various size of image.

This is just a tricky way to figure out centroid of the image and the parent DIV and match them.

Nextjs Image component and setting width and height with CSS

Adding a wrapper div with the size and relative classes and then setting layout="fill" on the Image component should do the trick.

Example:

<div className="h-64 w-96 relative"> // "relative" is required; adjust sizes to your liking
  <Image
    src={img.img}
    alt="Picture of the author"
    layout="fill" // required
    objectFit="cover" // change to suit your needs
    className="rounded-full" // just an example
  />
</div>

Setting a div to be the same height as an image

You can use Flexbox

body, html {margin: 0; padding: 0}.content {  display: flex;}.text {  background: #333333;  color: white;  flex: 1;  margin: 10px;}.image {  flex: 2;  margin: 10px;}img {  width: 100%;  vertical-align: top;}

<div class="content">  <div class="image">    <img src="http://placehold.it/900x450">  </div>  <div class="text">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Nihil, id.</div></div>

How to get div height to auto-adjust to background size?

Another, perhaps inefficient, solution would be to include the image under an img element set to visibility: hidden;. Then make the background-image of the surrounding div the same as the image.

This will set the surrounding div to the size of the image in the img element but display it as a background.

<div style="background-image: url(http://your-image.jpg);">
 <img src="http://your-image.jpg" style="visibility: hidden;" />
</div>

How to make NextJS Image component 100% height and width for its parent div?

Ok, I see that you want the image to take the width and height of its parent element, you can just use layout="fill" instead of responsive, which causes the image to expand to fill its parent element.

Something like this:

<div style={{width: '100%', height: '100%', position: 'relative'}}>
  <Image
    alt='Mountains'
    src='/mountains.jpg'
    layout='fill'
    objectFit='contain'
  />
</div>
