Bootstrap 3.2 Vertical Align Image Next To Text Without Knowing Height

I'm using bootstrap 3.2 and I'm trying to vertically align an image inside a div next to some text in the div next to it all using CSS. The image has the img-response CSS class so

Solution 1:

Unless you specify a height, divs, sections, figures, spans, and such take up the height of their content. So the div containing the image is the height of the image. You cannot put that in the vertical middle of the column next to it without both columns being equal in height. I would use jQuery. The css doesn't work properly in IE8.

$(document).ready(function () {


    /* ----------  equal height columns   -------- */
    $('.equal-height-col [class*="col-"]').matchHeight();

    });

CSS

.v-alignimg {
  position: relative;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
