I'm trying to center the newsslider (in the div bottom-container) on this page:

http://www.luukratief-design.nl/dump/parallax/index.html

I already have text-align: center;

Still it does not work.

Any suggestions?

How do I center a div block in CSS?

You can do this by setting the display property to "flex." Then define the align-items and justify-content property to “center.” This will tell the browser to center the flex item (the div within the div) vertically and horizontally.

How do I center an element in CSS?

Center Align Text To just center the text inside an element, use text-align: center; This text is centered.

How do I center a div in HTML without CSS?

Without setting an explicit width, the <div> tag will automatically expand to 100% of the width of its parent. Therefore, setting margin: 0 auto; will make it center -- with 0px on both the left and right.

How do I force a div to center?

Simply add text-align center to parent div and set the child div display to inline-block. This will force our div to behave like inline element and therefore subjected text-align center.

The text-align: center; only centers the element's inline contents, not the element itself.

If it is a block element (a div is), you need to set margin: 0 auto;, else if it is an inline element, you need to set the text-align: center; on its parent element instead.

The margin: 0 auto; will set top and bottom margin to 0 and left and right margin to auto (of the same size) so that it automagically puts itself in the center. This only works if the block element in question has a known width (either fixed or relative), else it cannot figure where to start and end.
