I have a problem with centering div in HTML (vertical & horizontal). My code looks something like this:
<div id="container">SOME HTML</div>
#container{
width: 366px;
height: 274px;
margin: 50%;
top: -137px;
left: -188px;
position:absolute;
}
Only chrome center this div in to the middle of the screen.
This will center the <div>
horizontally:
#container{
width: 366px;
height: 274px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Centering vertically is not quite simple, you maybe have to use javascript for that, or you try this css solution.
#container{
width: 366px;
height: 274px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -137px 0 0 -188px;
position:absolute;
}
This does the trick (vertical & horizontal):
#container{
position: absolute;
width: 366px;
height: 274px;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -183px; /* half width */
margin-top: -137px; /* half height */
}
You could use:
#container {
// Your other values, but remove position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Alternatively, you can do:
#wrapper, #container {
border: 1px solid red;
height: 500px;
width: 600px;
}
#wrapper {
bottom: 50%;
right: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
#container {
background: yellow;
left: 50%;
padding: 10px;
position: relative;
top: 50%;
}
And you're HTML code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<h1>Centered Div</h1>
<p>
This div has been centered within your browser window.</p>
</div>
</div>
That will center the <div>
in the middle of the browser window.
