Get parent white space
I have a lot of elements with an image title with static height and some text below. The goal is to get this .outer
full height as elements in line with it. I need this text to get the image width and height so that it is as full as it can be.
This is what I have achieved at the moment .
CSS:
.outer {
display: inline-block;
}
.inner {
background: green;
display: table-caption;
}
.inner>img{
height: 200px;
}
HTML:
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
<img src="https://pp.vk.me/c322418/v322418480/131a7/c3HrxpJiYqY.jpg"/>
<p>Useless Text.</p>
</div>
</div>

Here vertical alignment is important: top; I gave a fixed width, but you can give the width as a percentage.
body {
width: 100%;
}
.outer {
display: inline-block;
width: 90%;
}
.inner {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
background: green;
width: 290px!important;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-left: 15px;
}
.inner>img {
height: 200px;
}
.inner>p {
width: inherit;
}
.inner>img,
.inner>p {
display: block;
}
<body>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
<img src="https://pp.vk.me/c322418/v322418480/131a7/c3HrxpJiYqY.jpg" />
<p>Useless Text. CSS is not an overly complex language. But even if you’ve been writing CSS for many years, you probably still come across new things — properties you’ve never used, values you’ve never considered, or specification details you never
knew about. In my research, I come across new little tidbits all the time, so I thought I’d share some of them in this post. Admittedly, not everything in this post will have a ton of immediate practical value, but maybe you can mentally file
some of these away for later use.</p>

I made some adjustments to my code, I added a class table-div
and a class table-row
and wrapped those div.outer
in div.table-div
and div.table-row
. You can see it here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/XboROq?editors=110 . Hope this is what you are looking for.
