I am trying to place the input field at the center of the page, any help. So far i have only been able to center the contents horizontal, the vertical centering has failed.
<!DOCTYPE html>

justify-content: center;
}
input[type=text] {
margin: 0;
}
form {

}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<form action="">
<input type="text">

</div>

</html>
You need to set the containers height:
.container {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100vh;
}
input[type=text] {
margin: 0;
}
form {
border: 1px solid blue;
}
<div class="container">
<form action="">
<input type="text">
</form>
</div>

I have just started learning CSS, I ran into this problem. Please excuse me if its too silly to ask.
I want to center a DIV inside the body tag. I tired to use flexbox for this but somehow its coming in the center of the screen.
Here is the code.
<html lang="en">
<body>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background: #6CB3A9;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.main
{
width:300px;
height:300px;
background:white;
}
</style>
<div class="main">
<div class="white-bottom"></div>
<div class="red-top"></div>
<div class="yellow-center"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
No need for align-items: center; if you're using display: flex;:
Note: I set a height for the body to demonstrate that it sits horizontally in the center of the body tag.
<html lang="en">
<body>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background: #6CB3A9;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
// align-items: center;
height: 500px;
border: 1px solid grey
}
.main
{
width:300px;
height:300px;
background:white;
}
</style>
<div class="main">
<div class="white-bottom"></div>
<div class="red-top"></div>
<div class="yellow-center"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Seen a few tutorials and doc now. Where its claimed,
all you need to do is the following to both horizontally and vertically align a div.
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}
But is not true from what I see. It aligns horizontally but not vertically.
For it to align it vertically, you need to add height.
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
height: 500px;
}
But this is not being dynamic for it to always stay center for any height.
height: 100% doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong, or the docs / tutorials are incorrect?
Trying this on Edge browser if it matters.

The problem is that you haven't set height to the parent element.
You can use height: 100%;, but then you also need to set height to the parent element (i.e., <body> in your case).
See the snippet below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
height: 100%;
border: 5px solid red;
}
</style>
<body>
<article class="grid">

</div>
</article>
</body>

You may like to look up the way that width is treated in a block element.
e.g. in MDN
Note: A block-level element always starts on a new line and takes up
the full width available (stretches out to the left and right as far
as it can).
which is why your emoji centers horizontally.
The height is just the height of the content which is the emoji.
If you are trying to center the emoji in the middle of the viewport then give the element the height of the viewport. If you are trying to center it in its parent (which currently is the body element) then give it the height of the parent (height: 100%).
This snippet assumes you want it centered in the viewport:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
height: 100vh;
place-items: center;
}
</style>
<body>
<article class="grid">
<div>
😀
</div>
</article>
</body>
</html>
Usually if you set margin: auto; for that element it gets centered in the parent element. But it should not be overwritten by other positioning attributes, so I suggest you try doing this solution to see if it works
You can not vertically in a section as the section by default does not have any extra height in it.
In the below code, you can see that if we apply height to the .height class then the section gets height.
you can use 100vh or 100% or some height in pixels
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.grid {
display: grid;
background: #21977c69;
place-items: center;
}
.grid>div {
background: #fa977c69
}
.height {
height: 100%;
}

I'm trying to position the green box in the center of the page but totally unsuccessfully.
I set the body as flex..this should allow me to align the inside container to the center but it doesn't work. Why?

I want the green box in the middle, what I'm doing wrong?
thanks
you need to assign height in vh and add justify-content: center; to your body css. the following body css will align it to center
.body{
background-color: black;
display: flex;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
As Anis has mentioned the body need to be assigned a height so there will be space for the centering to work.
This version uses min-height so the page will be able to scale as more content being added later.
body{
background-color: black;
display: flex;
min-height: 100vh;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
Maybe you can help me, I want to center vertically as well as horizonally the buttons side by side.

Do you have any ideas? The solution is probably very simple.
I believe if you use justify-content: space-around; can help with making them line up horizontally.
.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-around;
}
When you try to align it vertically you would need to use flex-direction: column; I am assuming youre doing this when the screen size is phone size so I would add it to a media query with max 400 or something along those lins
.wrapper {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
add
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
the html and body need to have height defined in this case.

How to center an element horizontally and vertically
(27 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am wondering, is there a way you can make the span tag move into the center using css?
I need to ask this question because whenever I put text-align in the span, it doesn't work.
Html
<span>
This is span.
</span>`
Css
span {
text-align:center;
}
To just horizontal center the text inside an element, use text-align: center;. And for both on a text:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.center {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="center">
<p>I am vertically and horizontally centered.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
