From start i search for long time solutions and similar questions on stackoverflow, but no one works for me.
Here is a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ruudy/MJe3H/
I want to center material-container verticaly, it works only horizontaly.
I tried different solutions like:
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
margin: auto;
display: -moz-box;
-moz-box-align: center;
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-align: center;
display: box;
box-align: center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: center;
I try to see if a parent div make the vertical center not work but dont find any clue.
Thanks in advance.
PD: Must be a simple thing but i dont find it.
Have a look at this site on vertical center objects, it has been very useful for me.
vertical-centering-with-css
You can align a container vertical only when it has a known height with a CSS trick.
Set the container absolute with a top position of 50% and then add a negative margin of the half size from the container.
.parent_container {
position: relative;
}
.container {
height: 500px;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -250px;
}
Try using the css-tables technique to vertically center.

newbie here starting with the basics of HTML and CSS. I really have a hard time centering a simple div (a square in my example). I've watched many tutorials as well as read many articles but still cannot really figure out the "best" way to do it. With so many different ways like align-items, align-content, justify-items, justify-content, I get overwhelmed at some point especially with how these behave with different displays (flex, grid, inline-block etc), not to mention the positions of parents and childs. Below is an example that I still can't quite easily manipulate/center. The HTML is only the boilerplate and a blank div with class square inside the body. Thank you all in advance for your tips!
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #162944;
}
.square {
height: 10rem;
width: 10rem;
background-color: salmon;
display: flex;
align-items:center;
justify-items: center;
align-content: center;
justify-content:center;
place-content: center;
place-items: center;
}
The above example has been tried with all possible combinations and NOT only as you see it. Also with display:grid; and others. Is there really not a simple way to center an object on your page?
One way to center a div is to set the width of the element and then use the margin property to set the left and right margins to auto. This will horizontally center the element within its container.
For example:
.element {
width: 400px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
You can also by using the text-align property.
.shape {
text-align: center;
}
Also by using the margin property.
For example:
.shape {
margin: 0 auto;
}
Finally, you can center a div when it comes to shapes by using the transform property.
For example:
.shape {
transform: translate(50%, 50%);
}
Centering a div can be easy or hard based on your layout options and what you want to achieve.
The simplest way to horizontally center a div, add a width and margin: 0 auto.
Simplest way to horizontally and vertically center a div is using a flexbox, display: flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center. Also you can go with display:table and display:table-cell.
Last option is to use Positioning. You can take a div, style it with position:relative and add a height:300px,width:300px. Then inside the parent div, add a child div and style it with position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; transform:translate(-50%,-50%); height:50px; width:50px
I have code to center my images (and eventually videos) like I want inside a div, but I am trying to get the images to stack vertically in a column.
It works if the space is confined enough, but I want it to work all the time. What can I do? Here is my codepen:
div{
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100vh;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 172vh;
}
img{
height: 50%;
}
https://codepen.io/thejaredmosley/pen/OJPVqBa
try below:
div {
....
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
You can simply do it with the display:block CSS property.
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_display.asp
Give this CSS to your image and your image will get full-width space and will come in a stack.
So for Image, add this property:
img{
display:block;
}
i'm trying to center a button in my woocommerce website but without sucess.
Heres what i already tried:
margin: auto;
float: none;
display: block;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
I made it work without flexbox but isnt responsive and i need to learn more flexbox.
This is the result using flexbox:
Can someone help? if needed, this is the website: http://svidro.recifeimage.com/
-you should have one <div> and inside it your <button>
-<div> should have this style
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
-this is because the content of tag that has
justify-content: center;
will center only it's content
- in this case you will have <div> and it's content is <button>
You could try using relative positioning combined with CSS transforms instead of flexbox to center the button:
position: relative;
/* moves button to the middle of its container */
left: 50%;
/* moves button 50% of its width to the left */
transform: translateX(-50%);

Use CSS3 Flexbox for modern Browsers: Here's Browser support for it.
.center-both{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 350px;
background: LightSeaGreen;
}
Fiddle
Read this article for more on flexbox: http://dipaksblogonline.blogspot.in/2014/05/css-flexbox-explained-with-examples.html
If you want to support old browsers like IE7/IE8 then use display: table-cell; property to place the content vertically center.
Change the css for Sidepanel class as below
.SidePanel {
width: 5%;
height: auto;
float: left;
background-color: green;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
Use This Code For Your Pic:
.pic{
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -(HEIGHT/2)
}
Which HEIGHT is Your Picture's height in Pixels.
Update 1
Your Container Should Have A Specific Height And Have A CSS Property: Position: (Relative|Absolute|Fixed)
If I'm going to center an element in the middle of the screen with flexbox, is the following approach the most elegant?
HTML
<div class='btn'></div>
CSS
body{
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
}
.btn{
width: 10rem;
height: 10rem;
background-color: #033649;
margin: auto;
}
It seems that I have to use position: absolute and height+weight 100% to achieve this.
You have to use position: absolute because the default for an element is position: relative, and in this case, there is nothing to be relative to because you have made the flex container the body.
Your code will work fine, but there is a command to center objects in the actual flex model itself like so:
body{
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /*centers items on the line (the x-axis by default)*/
align-items: center; /*centers items on the cross-axis (y by default)*/
}
If you do this you can remove the margin: auto from your .btn class to perhaps give some more wiggle room in your code.
Here is a good resource for all things flexbox.
You can position an element inside a container by using place-items without the need to add any CSS property to that element. In this case I'm using the body of document as the container.
Snippet
body{
margin:0;
height:100vh; /* use 100% of the height of the viewport */
display:grid;
place-items: center;
}
<body>
<button>I'm a lonely button :B</button>
</body>
About place-items
The CSS place-items shorthand property allows you to align items along
both the block and inline directions at once (i.e. the align-items and
justify-items properties) in a relevant layout system such as Grid or
Flexbox. If the second value is not set, the first value is also used
for it.
