How can I horizontally center an element?
(133 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
Im trying to center a (pumpkinvector.jpg) image inside a .div using this classic trick:
.pumpkin{
position: relative;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}
It seems to work fine on the very bottom div where background is red.
However, that was just a test, it is not were I need the image to center.
I need to center pumpkinvector.jpg image up top in "grid2" div that inside "grid 6 october" div. October div has additional code and inner class to give background image and make it resize proportionally in height and width %. Using the same centering code above, the pumpkinvector.jpg now flows to the next line and starts to position outside of the .october div. Can someone why this is?
Please bear with me here. I thought the addition of images helps you visualize my problem so I uploaded to my own site instead of js.fiddle.

This question is different because it asks how to center div in the context that its parent div has complex markup that makes any traditional centering off and throws in on a new line below parent div.
Check this little example probably will be useful, how to center a image inside a div
The html code:
<div class="parent">
<img src="http://45reu03dndd711szsx3satxn.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content//uploads/2015/08/Top-10-best-CSS-development-tools-2015.png"/>
</div>
The css code:
.parent {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
img .picture {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
}
This code is running here
Horizontal alignment is really easy with CSS:
the item you want to align has to have "margin: auto"
And the item wrapping has to have a fixed width.
Vertical alignment is a little more tricky:
This trick only works if your wrapper has a fixed height and your content to align is a textual tag like span or p or h1
use the line-height css attribute of the wrapper andset its value to its own height and it's done.
OR
if your content to align has a height of 300px use margin-top: calc(50% - 150px)
change 'margin-top' for absolute "position" and "top" attribute if needed

Creating div-size link is quite easy to do (https://stackoverflow.com/a/16555663/982646) like centering text vertically inside div (https://stackoverflow.com/a/12686489/982646).
But how to combine those two?
If I set link width and height 100% it is not centered anymore.
you can set your parent div to inline-block so that the link will be the same size as it.
to vertically center the link, you can set the line-height of the container to be the same height as the link.
.container {
line-height: 3em;
display: inline-block;
}
.link {
height: 3em;
}
There are other ways to vertically center, but we need more information in order to give a more appropriate solution.
Here is an example for what I've explained: http://codepen.io/JKudla/pen/xqaLvy
So basically, I want two divs to sit inside another div. The first one is sitting inside with no issues, but the second one floats underneath the parent. When I add overflow:hidden I can't see the div anymore. The closest I've gotten to a solution was to add overflow:auto, but that just creates a scroll bar. I have tried resizing, different positioning, overflow and clearfix but so far I can't find a solution. Any ideas guys? JSFiddle demo here http://jsfiddle.net/QLbGc/ Thanks for any help, it's been annoying me for a couple of days now.
You forgot to put float:left; at the slideshow div
It should be
#slideshow {
background-color: #000;
margin: 15px;
height: 95%;
width: 60%;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
float: left;
}
So now you have the 'slideshow' div floating left and 'about' div floating right and they can fit inside the parent div.
Basically they were inside the parent div from the first time but the about div was under slideshow div.
Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/QLbGc/2/
If you're looking to have the two divs side by side here's a fiddle for that.
http://jsfiddle.net/Hastig/QLbGc/6/
I stripped out a bunch of stuff as I wasn't sure you needed it or it was just stuff you were throwing at it to try and affect change.
Somebody mentioned you were missing a float: left; in what we assume you wanted as your left div.
Remember to compensate for margin and padding to match the container div.
In my example the main container was 500px wide. If I set each float div to 250px width when added to the 20px combined margins on those divs the total width goes to 520px and pushes that right div under the left div so you'll want each floated div at 240px to compensate. Same deal with percentages.
If I misundestood your intention and you're looking to hide one of those div use display: none; on it and double the width of the one you want to show.
try to put this code in your css.
.content::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
i am learning CSS, i am trying to place the div with red background just below the body, i can't seem to make it fit to the body, whenever i adjust the width it doesn't align with the body,when i tried to place it center and 100% width, it occupies 100% of the width of the page it does not align with the white background area, whenever i do 80% it does align left and does not align with the white background area. Please point me to the right direction. I'm stuck :(
the code i have so far is here: http://pastebin.com/VPMgbzQ2
Thanks in advance.
Make your footer div out of the tabs div and no need of position: absolute on it. Make following changes:
#footer
{
margin-top:80%;
height: 20px;
width:50%;
text-align:center;
background:#C00;
}
Here is fiddle.
Also it seems that you are trying to make responsive design but let me tell you that the way you are proceeding is not the right one for it. You may read Responsive Design By Ethan Marcotte for learning it.
EDIT
Make following changes:
Give height: 400px; or as required to table div.
Make your footer div out of the table div.
Either remove margin-top or change it to 5% or 10% as required in footer div.
Add min-height: 100%; to .tabs.
Check out the fiddle.
Try hardcoding the height value
#spaceheader {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background: #000000;
}
I see your issue now. The parent element <div class="tab"> is what's causing your issues. If I were you, I'd take the radio buttons out of the tab, make it not have a float:left on it, and this will probably fix things. You then need to remove the absolute positioning on your footer div.
Also, it looked like you put the footer div inside of the tab, when in actuality, it should be outside of all of the tabs, beneath them in the code.
I have this problem that is driving me mad... I've been struggling with it for hours but can't figure out how to over come it.
I am using jqDock and want to place a toolbar in a "box" in a column. There is quite a lot of code included but you can see a sample here: http://ag.wasen.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=2&Itemid=17
Look at "Simple File Lister v2.0 #2" in the right hand side column where the toolbar is perfectly place. Then look at the left hand side where the toolbar goes vertical and is completely off track.
These two modules (as they are called in Joomla) is using the exact same code!
The difference between these two modules, the left one and the right is that the left one inherits a lot of CSS from the "div" statements in the left column.
The problem seems to be with the inherited "width" from a previously loaded CSS file. If I look at it in FireBug and remove the declaration for #leftcolumn div {width: 191px;} in FireBug the toolbar on the left is working fine.
I have tried to insert my own "width" on all different DIV's and using "!important" but even if FireBug shows the "#leftcolumn div" as stiked-out it still affects my toolbar DIV.
Regardless of how I have tried to "nullify" the inherited "#leftcolumn div" width it still affects my DIV.
Any clues on how I would be rid of it?

Try the below css - Paste this in you template.css file and try to set the width if required on different selectors.
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div, #main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div .jqDocked div {
width: 20px;
}
see below image for output: Open the image in new window so you can see clearly.
Problem 1. You are trying to fit a horizontal Dock that has a maximum expanded width of 263px (7 48x48 icons) into a column that is only 191px wide: the Dock is going to overflow!
Problem 2. The template you are using is setting a specific width of 191px on any div more than 1 level below the div.module child of div#leftcolumn. Additionally, your template is specifiying both width and padding on some elements, which is going to cause cross-browser inconsistency and also makes some of the elements extend beyond the bounds of the column.
Since jqDock does not provide many ids on elements, the rules needed in order to override your template are going to have to be at least as 'specific' as the template's, if not more so.
For example, replace your page's rules for...
.sflpage {...}
.sflmenu {...}
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module_menu div div div,
#main_bg #leftcolumn div.module div div {...}
with...
/*position the Dock's container, ensuring it's visible, and killing
the padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.sflpage {
padding: 0pt;
position: relative;
top: -20px;
width: auto;
z-index: 9999;
}
/*put the Dock in the center of its container, and give it plenty
of width for a fully-expanded Dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
padding: 0px 0pt;
position: absolute;
top: 0pt;
width: 300px;
}
/*kill the width and padding imposed by the template...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked div {
width: auto;
padding: 0;
}
/*center the dock...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockWrap {
margin: 0pt auto;
}
/*use this to set/tweak the label's styling...*/
#leftcolumn div.module div div div div.jqDocked .jqDockLabelText {
}
I would also suggest that you need more horizontal space for the Dock (ie. between the module header and the file list), that your labels need better styling so that are visible and readable.
I have a centered wrapper with following CSS:
div.wrapper {
width: 1170px;
padding-left:30px;
margin-top: 80px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position:relative;
background-color:black; }
inside i have a div with following css:
position:absolute;
top:-26px;
left:517px;
height:63px;
z-index:3;
inside of this div is an image which has 759px width, that makes the wrapper grow larger and makes the browser show a v-scrollbar on lower display resolutions.
what i want is to make the image go outside the wrapper but prevent the browser from showing the scrollbar, so that the right side of the image is only shown if your browser window is large enough and the wrapper keeps its 1200px width. i can't make it a background image because it goes over some of the other content.
something that is compatible with >= IE7 would be nice.
i uploaded a pic of the page to show what i mean:
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6070/hpx.jpg
the blue box is the wrapper, it has 1200px width and is ALWAYS centered in the window (unless then window is smaller than 1200px, then it scrolls)
the red box is the image (the green bar is not part of it)
You can set overflow: hidden to the wrapper so that content that exceeds the dimensions of wrapper will not be shown.
see overflow
You are looking for #your_div { overflow: hidden; }, if you want your content to be hidden. Or #your_div { overflow: visible; } if you want your content visible outside the div.
The only method that springs to mind given your requirements is to move the inner element out of that wrapper div and position it in relation to the entire window:
<body>
<div class="abs">the div with the image</div>
<div class="wrapper">the wrapper div</div>
</body>
Unfortunately, this probably means you can't position it very well. You may need to use Javascript to get the width/height of the page and/or the position of the wrapper div, and calculate the offset accordingly. (You'll find questions on Stack Overflow for these bits.)
The problem lies with the img being inline. Not tested but you should 'display:block' the image and then float it or absolutely position it.
