9,611 PointsCan't call an image inside a div
Hey all,
I've had this problem in attempts in a row in two different projects.
I am placing an image inside it's own div. When I call the div it has no effect on the image. The only time I can make the image do what I want it to do is when I give the img a class and call that in my css. Here is a quick example:
In this jsbin: http://jsbin.com/ucuwiy/1/edit
My image has a "logoimg" class and is in a div with the class "logo-img". If you look at the css in my jsbin, I am using the class selector .logoimg to center my image. If you edit that class and call it by the div class my image is in by adding a "-" between logo-img, I would think it would still impact the image the same way. Unfortunately whenever I put images inside a div class and give the div class rules to align the image it never impacts the image the way I anticipate it to.
Can you not edit an image position that is inside a div class?

9,611 Points@Elliot Thanks! I understand now. What is the best practice semantically? Should I make a separate div class for a single image? OR add a class to the image without div tags?

Courses Plus Student 9,647 Pointsit's more semantic/clean just to give the img tag a class and not wrap it in a div. I made a quick codepen that might help.
