How do I center a div perfectly?

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 a div list?

Just give the list centered text (e.g. ul. nav { text-align: center; } ) and the list items inline-block (e.g. ul. nav li { display: inline-block; } ).


I am trying to center a DIV, with "margin:auto" . It works fine with Chrome and FF but the following code does not center the DIV with IE:

CSS

#container {
 margin:auto;
 width:950px;
 height:50px;
 background:#000;
}

HTML

<div id="container"></div>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Joel
