CSS - How can I center a <script>'s output? - html

Question

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to center an external script and I was hoping SO could help me out. I'm designing a page to use a Google widget that uses Google Maps to give directions to an office. Here is my code:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="page_content" runat="server">
<div class="centered">
<span class="header_large_bold">Directions to our office:</span><br /><br />
<span class="header_bold">Please type your address in the top bar and click "Go".</span><br />
<script src="[link to the widget here]"</script>
</div>
</asp:Content>
And here is the CSS for it:
.centered {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
As it is, the text is centered perfectly fine, but the widget from the is left aligned. I can fix this using a tag, but I'm trying to avoid using it as best I can. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can insert the tag in a div
<div id="parent">
<script src='...'></script>
</div>
and then center the div..
#parent {
width: 30%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
But it might depend on the script content

Answer 2

Easily put your code between
<div align=center>
and
</div>
:)

User fa7d0 has the exact solution, but maybe a little unclear for the beginner:
Step 1 - Use a div with a "parent" ID to encapsulate your script as follows:
<div id="parent">
<script src='...'></script>
</div>
Step 2 - Go up to the top of your code, probably inside the area where you are defining the header information, and in the style section place the definitions:
<style>
#parent {
width: 30%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
I find it helpful to put all the div styling stuff in one area, all the p styling stuff in one area, etc.
