How to center squares in the wrapper without using text-align:center?
I need this because it also centers all text in squares, but I don't need this.
HTML :
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="squares">
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
<div class="square">lol</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
html, body{
height: 100%;
}
body {
line-height: 18px;
}
#wrapper{
width: 960px;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.square {
width:251px;
height:207px;
border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.1);
margin: 10px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
background-color:#fff;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
}

Center Align Elements To horizontally center a block element (like <div>), use margin: auto; Setting the width of the element will prevent it from stretching out to the edges of its container.
use text-align:center for div -> this will align text inside div center. include width property in div (i.e. width:200px) and it will work fine.
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. Save this answer.
If the target element is absolutely positioned, you can center it by moving it 50% in one direction ( left: 50% ) and then transforming it 50% in the opposition direction ( transform:translateX(-50%) ). This works without defining the target element's width (or with width:auto ).
#wrapper{
...
text-align: center;
}
.square {
...
text-align: left;
}
---- Another way (I don't recommed!)
How to find 52px: (width of div - (#of squares * width of one square))/ #of squares+1 -> (960-(250*3))/4
#wrapper{
...
padding-left:52px;
}
.square {
...
margin: 10px 52px 10px 0;
}
You can try:
.squares {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
