trying to align html button at the center of the my page [duplicate]

People also ask

How do you center align a button in HTML?

We can center the button by using the following methods: text-align: center - By setting the value of text-align property of parent div tag to the center. margin: auto - By setting the value of margin property to auto.

How do you align a button to the right of the page?

If you want to move the button to the right, you can also place the button within a <div> element and add the text-align property with its "right" value to the "align-right" class of the <div>.


Here's your solution: JsFiddle

Basically, place your button into a div with centred text:

<div class="wrapper">
    <button class="button">Button</button>
</div>

With the following styles:

.wrapper {
    text-align: center;
}

.button {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
}

There are many ways to skin a cat, and this is just one.


You can center a button without using text-align on the parent div by simple using margin:auto; display:block;

For example:

HTML

<div>
  <button>Submit</button>
</div>

CSS

button {
  margin:auto;
  display:block;
}

Edit by author: This is a really out of date answer! Flexbox or grid are much better.


I've really taken recently to display: table to give things a fixed size such as to enable margin: 0 auto to work. Has made my life a lot easier. You just need to get past the fact that 'table' display doesn't mean table html.

It's especially useful for responsive design where things just get hairy and crazy 50% left this and -50% that just become unmanageable.

style
{
   display: table;
   margin: 0 auto
}

In addition if you've got two buttons and you want them the same width you don't even need to know the size of each to get them to be the same width - because the table will magically collapse them for you.

(this also works if they're inline and you want to center two buttons side to side - try doing that with percentages!).


try this it is quite simple and give you cant make changes to your .css file this should work

<p align="center">
<button type="button" style="background-color:yellow;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block;margin-top:22%;margin-bottom:0%"> mybuttonname</button>
</p>

Here is the solution as asked

<button type="button" style="background-color:yellow;margin:auto;display:block">mybuttonname</button>

There are multiple ways to fix the same. PFB two of them -

1st Way using position: fixed - position: fixed; positions relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. Adding the left and top value to 50% will place it into the middle of the screen.

 button {
   position: fixed;
   left: 50%;
   top:50%;
 }

2nd Way using margin: auto -margin: 0 auto; for horizontal centering, but margin: auto; has refused to work for vertical centering… until now! But actually absolute centering only requires a declared height and these styles:

button {
  margin: auto;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  height: 40px;
}
