How do I keep this text content centered in a flexbox container? Because when text is added with DOM-CodePudding

I have a project in CS class where we have to clone an app that we use on a daily basis. I chose cashapp. I have a flexbox container holding the balance value, and I want the balance text to be responsive and shit itself to always be centered in the middle of the screen. I've achieved this with justify-content: center, however when I add text it doesn't responsively shift itself to stay centered. Also if you run the snippet you might want to resize it to 720 x 1520 b/c that is the resolution of the android Im making this for. Any suggestions? Dont flame me if the code issn't clean this is my first highschool CS class

document.getElementById('backspace').addEventListener('click', backspace)
let fired_button
let moneyval = document.getElementById('money')
$("button").click(function() {
  fired_button = $(this).val();
  let emptyArray = []
  emptyArray.push(moneyval.textContent)
  console.log(emptyArray)
  for (var i = 0; i < emptyArray.length; i  ) {
    if (emptyArray[0] == "$0") {
      moneyval.textContent = "$"   fired_button
    } else {
      moneyval.textContent  = fired_button
    }

  }

});


function backspace() {
  console.log(moneyval.textContent)
  let string = moneyval.textContent
  string = string.substring(0, string.length - 1);
  moneyval.textContent = string


}

CodePudding user response：

Flexbox doesn't organize the absolute positioned items. As a best practise, you should avoid absolute positioning in order to achieve responsive layout in most cases.

As I understand from your question, I have achieved what you want to do like that:

1. I removed all the absolute positioning
2. I removed explicit width styles of the body, .numberpad, .subcta, .sub-cta and .numberpad
3. Wrapped all these elements with <main> tag (except body)
4. Styled <main> with display: flex and align-items: center

Check it here:

document.getElementById('backspace').addEventListener('click', backspace)
let fired_button
let moneyval = document.getElementById('money')
$("button").click(function() {
  fired_button = $(this).val();
  let emptyArray = []
  emptyArray.push(moneyval.textContent)
  console.log(emptyArray)
  for (var i = 0; i < emptyArray.length; i  ) {
    if (emptyArray[0] == "$0") {
      moneyval.textContent = "$"   fired_button
    } else {
      moneyval.textContent  = fired_button
    }

  }

});


function backspace() {
  console.log(moneyval.textContent)
  let string = moneyval.textContent
  string = string.substring(0, string.length - 1);
  moneyval.textContent = string
