I want to align text in middle of the screen. I have content and button within a div element that I want to display in the middle of the screen.
Right now, the text appears below the div element.
I have three banner and and 3 content.
I want to align the text in middle in both vertical and horizontal.

If you want to align a div in the middle of the screen, you can set margin : 0, auto; and width:50%; for the CSS of the div.This is a famous CSS trick.Btw, your question is confusing and please reduce your question content to minimum.
Edit: Based on the comment that was left, you are trying to align horizontally and vertically.You can do the following:
div {
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
This will dynamiclly align your element.From Mozilla Developers:
translatex()
The translateX() CSS function moves the element horizontally on the plane. This transformation is characterized by a <length> defining how much it moves horizontally.
translateX(tx) is a shortcut for translate(tx, 0).
translatey()
The translateY() CSS function moves the element vertically on the plane. This transformation is characterized by a <length> defining how much it moves vertically.
translateY(ty) is a shortcut for translate(0, ty).
See more about the transformation function here.
If you want to make text center horizontally then you can use text-align:center in case you want to do it vertically you can use line-height property. you have given height:543px to section so you need to write
line-height:543px ;
here is updated fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/1mh33zz7/
I'm trying to make a menu bar centered horizontally in the header of my page. For some reason, i can't get the centering to work. I made a little test page roughly displaying the problem: JSFiddle. The inner div has to be 5px away from the bottom, that's whatI use the position: absolute for.
I've tried searching on the web alot, but everything I find gives me the same result, or none at all. Most problems I found were when text-align: center wasn't in the container div, but even with it, it still doesn't work.
I removed two css attributes and it work.
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
Check this Fiddle
5px from bottom. Fiddle
This is not a perfect way, but it's still kind of useful. I first think of this idea from this Q&A.
You'll have to make some change to your HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="wrapper-center"> <!-- added a new DIV layer -->
<div id="inner_container">
TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS will change to:
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
position: relative;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
left:-50%;
}
#wrapper-center {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
bottom:5px;
width:auto;
}
Demo fiddle
The trick is to place the wrapper at the given top-bottom position, and 50% from left (related to parent), and then make the true content 50% to left (related to the wrapper), thus making it center.
But the pitfall is, the wrapper will only be half the parent container's width, and thus the content: in case of narrow screen or long content, it will wrap before it "stretch width enough".
If you want to centre something, you typically provide a width and then make the margins either side half of the total space remaining. So if your inner div is 70% of your outer div you set left and right margins to 15% each. Note that margin:auto will do this for you automatically. Your text will still appear to one side though as it is left-aligned. Fix this with text-align: centre.
PS: you really don't need to use position absolute to centre something like this, in fact it just makes things more difficult and less flexible.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
}
#inner_container {
color:red;
height:50px;
width: 70%;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
}
If you don't want a fixed width on the inner div, you could do something like this
#outer {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#inner {
display: inline-block;
}
That makes the inner div to an inline element, that can be centered with text-align.
working Ex
this CSS changes will work :
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline;
margin: 0 auto;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
Try this:
html
<div id="outer"><div id="inner">inner</div></div>
css
#outer {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner{
display: inline;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
example jsfiddle
You may set the inline style for the inner div.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div align="center" id="inner_container" style="text-align: center; position:absolute;color: white;width:100%; bottom:5px;">
<div style="display: inline-block;text-align: center;">TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is working DEMO
I want to know how to center a div with CSS. I googled some stuff & checked on stackoverflow but it was conflicting with my CSS code.
Here's my code (just in case):
body, p, span, div {
font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, serif;
font-size:12px;
line-height:18px;
color:#6d6d6d; }
.countdown {
padding-top:15px; width: 100%;
height: 68px;
margin:0 auto 0 auto;
bottom:0;
position:absolute;
}
.countdown .countdown_section{
background:url('images/backcountdown.png') no-repeat 1px top;
float:left;
height:100%;
width:54px;
margin:0 5px;
text-align:center;
line-height:6px;
}
.countdown .countdown_amount {
font-size:15px;
color:#ab7100;
text-shadow:0 0.8px #fedd98;
line-height:52px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align: left;
}
.countdown span {
font-size:8px;
color:#999999;
text-transform:uppercase;
line-height:26px;
}
<body>
<div class="countdown clearfix">
</div>
</body>
The following automatically centers the element horizontally:
margin: 0 auto;
You can center a div with a specific width using the following css:
#yourDiv {
width: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Provided fixed width is set, and you put a proper DOCTYPE,
Do this:
Margin-left: auto;
Margin-right: auto;
Hope this helps
To center a div use:
#content{
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id="content">This will be centered horizontally</div>
<div style="margin:auto; width: 100px;">lorem</div>
The above answers will work for divs with relative or static positioning. For absolutely positioned elements (like your .countdown element, you'll need to set left: 50% and margin-left: -XXXpx where XXX represents half of the div's width (including padding and border).
(example: http://jsfiddle.net/7dhwG/)
This will center your page it works great.
#yourdiv {
width: width you want px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
You can also center an absolute position div by setting left to 50% and margin-left to -half of the full width in px.
div {
position: absolute;
width: 500px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -251px;
}
Stop using margin: 0 auto, Cross browser way of doing this is Here I have tested it and it works perfectly on all browsers

How do I center an image if it's wider than its container?

Closed 3 years ago.
I have a div 200 x 200 px. I want to place a 50 x 50 px image right in the middle of the div.
How can it be done?
I am able to get it centered horizontally by using text-align: center for the div. But vertical alignment is the issue..
Working in old browsers (IE >= 8)
Absolute position in combination with automatic margin permits to center an element horizontally and vertically. The element position could be based on a parent element position using relative positioning. View Result
img {
position: absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
Personally, I'd place it as the background image within the div, the CSS for that being:
#demo {
background: url(bg_apple_little.gif) no-repeat center center;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
}
(Assumes a div with id="demo" as you are already specifying height and width adding a background shouldn't be an issue)
Let the browser take the strain.
another way is to create a table with valign, of course. This would work regardless of you knowing the div's height or not.
<div>
<table width="100%" height="100%" align="center" valign="center">
<tr><td>
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="foo" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
but you should always stick to just css whenever possible.
I would set your larger div with position:relative; then for your image do this:
img.classname{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin-top:-25px;
margin-left:-25px;
}
This only works because you know the dimensions of both the image and the containing div. This will also let you have other items within the containing div... where solutions like using line-height will not.
EDIT: Note... your margins are negative half of the size of the image.
This works correctly:
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
else try this if the above only gives you horizontal centering:
.outerContainer {
position: relative;
}
.innerContainer {
width: 50px; //your image/element width here
height: 50px; //your image/element height here
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
}
Use Flexbox:
.outerDiv {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center; /* Centering y-axis */
align-items :center; /* Centering x-axis */
}
here's another method to center everything within anything.
Working Fiddle
HTML: (simple as ever)
<div class="Container">
<div class="Content"> /*this can be an img, span, or everything else*/
I'm the Content
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.Container
{
text-align: center;
}
.Container:before
{
content: '';
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.Content
{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Benefits
The Container and Content height are unknown.
Centering without specific negative margin, without setting the line-height (so it works well with multiple line of text) and without a script, also Works great with CSS transitions.
This is coming a bit late, but here's a solution I use to vertical align elements within a parent div.
This is useful for when you know the size of the container div, but not that of the contained image. (this is frequently the case when working with lightboxes or image carousels).
Here's the styling you should try:
container div
{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
height:200px;
width:200px;
}
img
{
/*Apply any styling here*/
}
I've found that Valamas' and Lepu's answers above are the most straightforward answers that deal with images of unknown size, or of known size that you'd rather not hard-code into your CSS. I just have a few small tweaks: remove irrelevant styles, size it to 200px to match the question, and add max-height/max-width to handle images that may be too large.
div.image-thumbnail
{
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
line-height: 200px;
text-align: center;
}
div.image-thumbnail img
{
vertical-align: middle;
max-height: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
}
in the div
style="text-align:center; line-height:200px"
We can easily achieve this using flex. no need for background-image.

Vertical-align is one of the most misused css styles. It doesn't work how you might expect on elements that are not td's or css "display: table-cell".
This is a very good post on the matter. http://phrogz.net/CSS/vertical-align/index.html
The most common methods to acheive what you're looking for are:
padding top/bottom
position absolute
line-height
In CSS do it as:
img
{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
margin:auto;
}
#sleepy You can easily do this using the following attributes:
#content {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#myImage {
display: block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
<div id="content">
<img id="myImage" src="http://blog.w3c.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/css31-213x300.png">
</div>
References: W3
Typically, I'll set the line-height to be 200px. Usually does the trick.
I have a gallery of images for which I don't know the exact heights or widths of images beforhand, I just know that they are smaller than the div in which they are going to be contained.
By doing a combination of line-height settings on the container and using vertical-align:middle on the image element, I finally got it to work on FF 3.5, Safari 4.0 and IE7.0 using the following HTML markup and the following CSS.
The HTML Markup
<div id="gallery">
<div class="painting">
<a href="Painting/Details/2">
<img src="/Content/Images/Paintings/Thumbnail/painting_00002.jpg" />
</a>
</div>
<div class="painting">
...
</div>
...
</div>
The CSS
div.painting
{
float:left;
height:138px; /* fixed dimensions */
width: 138px;
border: solid 1px white;
background-color:#F5F5F5;
line-height:138px;
text-align:center;
}
div.painting a img
{
border:none;
vertical-align:middle;
}
This works for me :
<body>
<table id="table-foo">
<tr><td>
<img src="foo.png" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#table-foo {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#table-foo img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
Another way (not mentioned here yet) is with Flexbox.
Just set the following rules on the container div:
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /* align horizontal */
align-items: center; /* align vertical */
FIDDLE
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid green;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
/* align horizontal */
align-items: center;
/* align vertical */
}
<div>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50/food" alt="" />
</div>
A good place to start with Flexbox to see some of it's features and get syntax for maximum browser support is flexyboxes
Also, browser support nowadays is quite good: caniuse
For cross-browser compatibility for display: flex and align-items, you can use the following:
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -moz-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-align: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items: center;
This is an old solution but browser market shares have advanced enough that you may be able to get by without the IE hack part of it if you are not concerned about degrading for IE7. This works when you know the dimensions of the outer container but may or may not know the dimensions of the inner image.
.parent {
display: table;
height: 200px; /* can be percentages, too, like 100% */
width: 200px; /* can be percentages, too, like 100% */
}
.child {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<img src="foo.png" alt="bar" />
</div>
</div>
easy
img {
transform: translate(50%,50%);
}
You can set position of image is align center horizontal by this
#imageId {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
I've been trying to get an image to be centered vertically and horizontally within a circle shape using hmtl and css.
After combining several points from this thread, here's what I came up with: jsFiddle
Here's another example of this within a three column layout: jsFiddle
CSS:
#circle {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #A7A9AB;
-moz-border-radius: 50px;
-webkit-border-radius: 50px;
border-radius: 50px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
.images {
position: absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
HTML:
<div id="circle">
<img class="images" src="https://png.icons8.com/facebook-like-filled/ios7/50" />
</div>
You can center an image horizontally and vertically with the code below (works in IE/FF).
It will put the top edge of the image at exactly 50% of the browser height, and the margin-top(pulling half the height of the image up) will center it perfectly.
<style type="text/css">
#middle {position: absolute; top: 50%;} /* for explorer only*/
#middle[id] {vertical-align: middle; width: 100%;}
#inner {position: relative; top: -50%} /* for explorer only */
</style>
<body style="background-color:#eeeeee">
<div id="middle">
<div id="inner" align="center" style="margin-top:...px"> /* the number will be half the height of your image, so for example if the height is 500px then you will put 250px for the margin-top */
<img src="..." height="..." width="..." />
</div>
</div>
</body>
I love jumping on old bandwagons!
Here's a 2015 update to this answer. I started using CSS3 transform to do my dirty work for positioning. This allows you to not have to make any extra HTML, you don't have to do math (finding half-widths of things) you can use it on any element!
Here's an example (with fiddle at the end). Your HTML:
<div class="bigDiv">
<div class="smallDiv">
</div>
</div>
With accompanying CSS:
.bigDiv {
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#efefef;
position:relative;
}
.smallDiv {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-color:#cc0000;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%, -50%);
}
What I do a lot these days is I will give a class to things I want centered and just re-use that class every time. For example:
<div class="bigDiv">
<div class="smallDiv centerThis">
</div>
</div>
css
.bigDiv {
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#efefef;
position:relative;
}
.smallDiv {
width:50px;
height:50px;
background-color:#cc0000;
}
.centerThis {
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%, -50%);
}
This way, I will always be able to center something in it's container. You just have to make sure that the thing you want centered is in a container that has a position defined.
Here's a fiddle
BTW: This works for centering BIGGER divs inside SMALLER divs as well.
div {
position: absolute;
border: 3px solid green;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
img {
position: relative;
border: 3px solid red;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
.center {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
}
<div class="center">
<img class="center" src="http://placeholders.org/250/000/fff" />
</div>

thanks to everyone else for the clues.
I used this method
div.image-thumbnail
{
width: 85px;
height: 85px;
line-height: 85px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
div.image-thumbnail img
{
vertical-align: middle;
}
Use positioning. The following worked for me:
div{
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
}
div img{
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
bottom: 50%;
right: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
Simply set image margin auto as shown below.
img{
margin:auto;
width:50%;
height:auto;
}
Check these example
.container {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
.children-with-img {
position: absolute;
width:50px;
height:50px;
left:50%;
top:50%;
transform:translate(-50%);
}
If you know the size of the parent div and the image, you can just use absolute positioning.
