Horizontally And Vertically Center Div In The Middle Of Page

Post a Comment
I am trying to get a page layout like the following Horizontally and vertically center div in the middle of page with header and footer stuck to top and bottom of page This works

Solution 1:

Centering vertically with CSS can be a pain. Check out Dead Centre. It requires an extra container 'horizon' to know where the vertical center is, and unfortunately you must know the dimensions of the content you want centered so that you can offset it.

Goes something like this...

body {
  margin: 0px
}

#horizon {
  text-align: center;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 1px;
  overflow: visible;
  visibility: visible;
  display: block
}

#content {
  margin-left: -125px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -35px;
  left: 50%;
  width: 250px;
  height: 70px;
  visibility: visible
}
<body>
     <div id="horizon">
          <div id="content">
               content you want centered
          </div>
     </div>
</body>

Solution 2:

This no longer works well on Chrome 38. Try loading the dead center site above and resizing the browser - see the distortion in the text.
