I have got a css problem.

I cant get this page to align center.
Before i get the answer to use "text-align: center;" on the body, i already did.
The page 100% validates (CSS and HTML).
Please help, never had this before.
Set the left and right margins of the #wrapper div to auto
#wrapper{
margin:0 auto;
}
to align a page in the center you can place all the content of the page inside a container div and set these css properties
body
{
text-align: center; //for ie 6
}
#main_wrapper
{
text-align: left;
width: 1000px; //any width you want
margin: 0 auto;
}
here main wrapper is the div that contains all the content
add this to you wrapper:
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
Use this css to align to center:
<style>
#your_div_id {margin:0px auto;}
</style>

I have wasted an hour on this stupid problem. I have made projects and it worked. I deleted that code in rage.
I wanted to center an image but there was a heading above the image. So, i wrapped them in a div and gave them a id[x].
What i tried #x - margin:0 auto width:50%; margin:auto; width:50%; margin: 0 auto; width:50%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; and changing positions to relative.
What worked [not wrapped in a div] -
img {
display:block;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
margin: auto;
}
h1 {
color:blue;
text-align:center;
}
But this code had a problem as the image is clickable, the whole width of where the image was became clickable, i don't know why.
You cannot have a block element inside an inline element. The anchor that the image would be wrapped in is an inline element. When you turn the child into a block element it will make the anchor take the entire width of the line, because you don't have a width setting on the anchor.
To fix this issue, display:block; should be display:inline-block;
Use text-align: center to center the image.
#test {
text-align: center;
}
img {
display: inline-block;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
}
h1 {
color:blue;
}
<div id="test">
<h1>Hi, I am guy!</h1>
<a href="#">
<img src="//lorempixel.com/200/200">
</a>
</div>
if I understand your problem you want to both center the header and image that are wrapped in a div. You do not want the entire area of the div clickable just the image. Below is a fiddle.
If the above is correct it seems you just need to add the a tag around the img tag and not the div itself.
<div>
<h1>Header</h1>
<img src="https://placeholdit.imgix.net/~text?txtsize=33&txt=200%C3%97200&w=200&h=200" />
</div>

UPDATE:
display: block will take up the width of the parent element everytime, as others have said use inline-block.
Only apply size to the img tag, and apply display to the a tag. The wrapper class with text-align: center is actually taking care of centering the img as well.
Here is the updated fiddle:

i'm with some problems here.. I've tried a lot of different fixes for this, but none of them seems to work. I want to align the content of a div in the middle of another div.
I want to use only auto or % values because i want to make the website also for mobile devices.
This is the code i have so far: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xHpaF/
I want to make those red boxes aligned to the center of the wrap div.
If anyone can help me. Thanks!
Well, first of all, your <div id="content" /> is an ID, not a class. So change your .content in the CSS to #content. Second of all, float throws off the text-align: center;. If you remove that, and set it to display: inline-block;, it should fix your issues:
check it here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ncviE/
css changes:
#content {
width:auto;
height:250px;
margin:0 auto;
background:#0C0;
display:table-cell;
text-align:center;
}
.view {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
}
I have a form that I cannot center. I have tried many things including :
form{
display:inline-block;
text-align:center;
margin:auto;
}
the dang thing won't center though. help please?
URL: http://s1527.mtchs.org/wordpress/contact/
form {
width: 50%; /* adjust as needed */
margin: 0 auto;
}
Block-level elements are centred by setting the left and right margins to the same value - in general the easiest way to do this is to set them both to auto. text-align on the other hand, applies to inline elements inside the element you apply the style to.
See here for examples.
Playing around with margins should work. Set a top/bottom margin for your element and the rest auto and it should center it automatically.
margin: 100px auto 0 auto;
if you wanna use display: inline-block and text-align combination, then you have to put text-align in the parent element
example
<div style="position: relative; display: block; text-align: center">
<div style="display: inline-block">
</div>
OR
you can simply put width in the from css
form{
display:block;
margin:auto;
width:600px;
}
I'm trying to centre align an image using a div and a CSS class (the tag is wrapped in a div class="center" tag). What I'm using at the moment is working in Dreamweaver (when I go to design view) but not when I load the page up in Safari. Here is my code:
.center {
display:inline;
text-align:center;
-webkit-inline;
-webkit-center;
background-color:transparent;
}
Sorry for asking such a simple question, I'm completely new to HTML, my experience is in Objective-C.
text-align: center caused the content to be centered (within the container), and not the container itself being centered.
Since you use display: inline, the size of the container will be the same as its content, and the centering will not have the effect you're after.
Either, you use the margin: 0 auto to center the container (towards its parent container), OR you change display: inline to display: block.
Give text-align:center; to it's .center parent DIV. Write like this:
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="center"></div>
</div>
CSS
.parent{
text-align:center;
}
.center {
display:inline;
background-color:transparent;
}
You can use margin : 0 auto , to a vertical align , but if you want a vertical-horizontal align , you need a code like this:
.center{
width:200px;
height:200px;
margin-left:-100px;
margin-top:-200px;
position:absolute;
top :50%;
left:50%;
}
margin: 0 auto. Is what you're looking for. You'll need a width also.
div.center { margin:0 auto; width: 20%;background:orange;}

Sounds simple but couldn't figure it out:
How do I center a fixed width div on a page?
By default, it goes to the left.
halign is deprecated but I can find a could replacement.
[update]
width:800px;left-margin:auto;right-margin:auto:
works great.
Is there a way to do this without setting a fixed width?
Try this:
<style>
.centered {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
</style>
<div class="centered">
Some text
</div>
<div style="margin:0 auto">content here</div>
You can center any div that doesn't span the entire page. Say your div is
.div {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Then it will work fine. As Evan said "display: inline-block;" will make the div as wide as its contents which will also work great with "margin: 0 auto;".
A div, by default, is the entire width of the page. You can center the contents by setting the css of the div to:
.mydiv
{
text-align: center;
}
OR
You can center the div itself by doing this:
.mydiv
{
display: inline-block; /* make it be only as wide as its contents */
margin: auto; /* centering magic by making the margins equal and maximum */
}
div {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
As long as you have an appropriate doctype declared, centering a div on a page should be as easy as:
#someDiv {
width: 624px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
If you're using IE and you don't have a doctype declared (you're running in quirks mode), this won't work. The fix is to add the appropriate doctype declaration to your page. You can find the appropriate declaration here:
W3C QA - Recommended list of Doctype declarations you can use in your Web document
There's generally two ways of doing (that I've seen). One with the margin attribute and another with positioning and left:50%
http://jsfiddle.net/NvaEE/
<br>
<div class="first"> I have a fixe dwidth</div>
<br>
<div class="second"> I have a fixe dwidth</div>
div{width:200px; background:#ddd;}
div.first{margin:0 auto;}
div.second{position:absolute;left:50%;margin-left:-100px}
margin:auto; should do the trick, I guess?
You wrap it in a container div that spans the width of the page and give that container div the
text-align: center;
css attribute.
There are other methods, such as managing the margins and widths. For most cases, you can get by with text-align.
