How to add text right in the center of a flowbite carousel? - html

Question

I am trying to add 2 h2 tags with text right in the vertical and horizontal center of a flowbite carousel, I cannot manage to get a good result.
My classes (for tesint):
"absolute top-500 left-500" do not even make a difference to the way the text shows over the image. It is strange.
Here is the carousel:
https://flowbite.com/docs/components/carousel/
This is the entire html:
<div id="default-carousel" class="relative" data-carousel="static">
<!-- Carousel wrapper -->
<div class="overflow-hidden relative h-56 rounded-lg md:h-96">
<!-- Item 1 -->
<div class="duration-700 ease-in-out absolute inset-0 transition-all transform translate-x-0 z-20" data-carousel-item="">
<span class="absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 text-2xl font-semibold text-white -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 sm:text-3xl dark:text-gray-800">First Slide</span>
<img src="/docs/images/carousel/carousel-1.svg" class="block absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 w-full -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" alt="...">
</div>
<!-- Item 2 -->
<div class="duration-700 ease-in-out absolute inset-0 transition-all transform translate-x-full z-10" data-carousel-item="">
<img src="/docs/images/carousel/carousel-2.svg" class="block absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 w-full -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" alt="...">

I tried this in the first slide vua the text get stuck to the top of the slide:
<div class="duration-700 ease-in-out absolute inset-0 transition-all transform translate-x-0 z-20" data-carousel-item="">
<img src="https://placeimg.com/800/300/rabbit" class="block absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 w-full -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" alt="">
<div class="absolute top-500 left-500 px-4 py-2 opacity-100">
<h2 class="text-xl text-white font-bold text-center">Text 1 here</h3>
<h2 class="text-xl text-white font-bold text-center">Text 2 here</h3>
</div>
</div>
Any help would be appreciated please.
Thanks!

Answer 1

You can add the two h2 tags by replacing the absolute with relative for the div containing heading and adding top-1/2 to same div.
This is the code
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<div class="duration-700 ease-in-out absolute inset-0 transition-all transform translate-x-0 z-20" data-carousel-item="">
<img src="https://placeimg.com/800/300/rabbit" class="block absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 w-full -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" alt="">
<div class="relative top-500 top-1/2 px-4 py-2 opacity-100 ">
<h2 class="text-xl text-white font-bold text-center ">Text 1 here</h3>
<h2 class="text-xl text-white font-bold text-center ">Text 2 here</h3>
</div>
</div>

Answer 2

Ok got it, this seems to work perfectly, (it can be left as absolute):
<div class="duration-700 ease-in-out absolute inset-0 transition-all transform translate-x-0 z-20" data-carousel-item="">
<img src="https://placeimg.com/800/300/rabbit" class="block absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 w-full -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2" alt="...">
<span class="absolute top-1/2 left-1/2 text-2xl font-semibold text-white -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 sm:text-3xl dark:text-gray-800">First Slide</span>
</div>
