How can I get this div to center horizontally? - html

Question

I'm creating a page with a text editor and I can get everything but the text editor to center.
Everything except the elements within the div with the id #texteditor are centered. Here is the css for another element on the page, which I centered successfully, and the text editor:
header {
background-color: #00B7FF;
color: white;
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
}
body {
padding: 50px;
font: 20px "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
a {
color: #00B7FF;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
p {
display: inline;
}
form {
margin-top: 30px;
}
button {
margin: 0 5px;
display: inline-block;
}
input {
margin: 10px;
}
table {
background-color: #e0e0e0;
width: 800px;
margin: 50px auto;
font-size: 20px;
}
div#texteditor {
width: 900px;
height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div#header {
border-bottom: none;
width: 60%;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #e0e0e0;
color: white;
border-radius: 8px 8px 0 0;
}
div#textArea {
border: 2px solid #e0e0e0;
height: 100%;
width: 60%;
}
iframe#wysiwyg {
height: 100%;
width: 60%;
}
.btn {
background-color: DodgerBlue;
/* Blue background */
border: none;
/* Remove borders */
color: white;
/* White text */
padding: 12px 16px;
/* Some padding */
font-size: 16px;
/* Set a font size */
cursor: pointer;
/* Mouse pointer on hover */
}
.btn-primary {
margin: 10px;
display: inline;
}
.btn-white {
background-color: white;
color: #00B7FF;
}
.container {}
.inline {
display: inline;
}
.row {
margin: inherit;
}
.form {
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.form-header {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
width: 990px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.centered-form {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.centered-text {
display: inline;
text-align: center;
}
.centered-textfields {
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
.centered-buttons {
width: 208px;
margin: auto;
}
.emptyspace {
margin-top: 50px;
}
[login] {
float: right;
}

Thank you in advance for your help! I'll also appreciate any other critique of my code.

Answer 1

add margin: 0 auto; to the header and textarea since they're separate, or wrap them into a div and do that to it.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.form-header {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;

Answer 2

I have removed the width 60% from #header,#textarea and applied to #texteditor.
header {
background-color: #00B7FF;
color: white;
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
}
body {
padding: 50px;
font: 20px "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
a {
color: #00B7FF;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
p {
display: inline;
}
form {
margin-top: 30px;
}
button {
margin: 0 5px;
display: inline-block;
}
input {
margin: 10px;
}
table {
background-color: #e0e0e0;
width: 800px;
margin: 50px auto;
font-size: 20px;
}
div#texteditor {
width: 60%;
height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div#header {
border-bottom: none;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #e0e0e0;
color: white;
border-radius: 8px 8px 0 0;
}
div#textArea {
border: 2px solid #e0e0e0;
height: 100%;
}
iframe#wysiwyg {
height: 100%;
width: 60%;
}
.btn {
background-color: DodgerBlue;
/* Blue background */
border: none;
/* Remove borders */
color: white;
/* White text */
padding: 12px 16px;
/* Some padding */
font-size: 16px;
/* Set a font size */
cursor: pointer;
/* Mouse pointer on hover */
}
.btn-primary {
margin: 10px;
display: inline;
}
.btn-white {
background-color: white;
color: #00B7FF;
}
.container {}
.inline {
display: inline;
}
.row {
margin: inherit;
}
.form {
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.form-header {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;

Answer 3

margin-left:200px works fine for the code. It is placed in the middle.
div#texteditor {
width: 900px;
height: 300px;
margin-left: 200px;
}
