I am trying to center an Input field, however, it seems ignore the margin: 0 auto; setting.
A container is necessary to center it? Or I did something wrong?
Here is my sample code, as you can see, the box is centered, but not the Input field.

Many thx.
Make the input a block element - http://jsfiddle.net/EXZJm/2/
input{
margin: 0px auto;
width: 100px;
display: block; /* this */
}
Simply add text-align:center to the parent element.
As input are inline-elements by default, you could use text-align: center; on the parent box and omit the margin on the input.

I want to simply center 2 divs horizontally regardless of the screen width and without using a wrapper. I have the following simple code:
#div1 {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#div2 {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
I created the following fiddle for illustration:

The reason I don't want to use a wrapper is that I want to make a cross platform website and if I define a width for the wrapper it will break mobile screen.
#setek has the solution above, just wanted to add this quick rule of thumb:
To horizontally center display:inline and display:inline-block items, use text-align:center;.
To horizontally center display:block items, use margin: 0 auto;.
as alluded to by setek, you can define a container for your divs, with a width of 100% so that it scales with the screen/device width. Also set its text align to center to achieve your desired effect.
#container{text-align:center;width:100%;}
here is your updated fiddle
and for slightly modified markup and css - http://jsfiddle.net/axe89/5/
Use css margin properties.
margin-left:40%
to the first div.
You can add
text-align: center;
to the body tag or to whatever you are planning to wrap the divs with.
fiddle link
.mainCoverWrapper {
position: relative;
min-width:312px;
background:red
}
I'm trying to center a div with min-width of 312px and make it expand according to its dynamic content while keeping it centered.
Right now the min-with doesn't work at all because it needs a float. I can't use a float because I need the div centered on the page.
In other words, div starts out with margin auto with a width of 312px and expands with its added content while being centered. Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a working example of the parent to follow the width of the child, and the child will expand according to the text given in it.
.myCoverWrapper {
border: 1px solid Peru;
margin:auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
background: red;
}
.test {
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
background: cyan;
}
This makes the parent div follow the width of the kid.
This however, will disallow you to "center" it. There's no way you can have both. This is because you cant center an image without knowing the width of the element.
The solution is to use jQuery, to add CSS in when necessary.
Here's an example. There's some bugs, but well, you have the general idea.
If you want the width to be fluid, your best bet is to set display: inline-block; on the to-be-centered element, and text-align: center; to the parent element.
See: CSS center display inline block?
The logo image at the top of this page http://54.251.57.136/ should center with:
.logo-img {
margin: 0px auto;
display: block;
}
... but it doesn't and I can't figure out why. Any help would be great.
Take off the float: left from logo-img and add text-align: center
Your div has a class .logo-img which is set to float:left. (and it would need a fixed width for the centering to work)
You are floating the image wrapper, if you adjust your css you can center it:
ADD THIS TO YOUR .logo-img
text-align: center;
REMOVE THIS FROM YOUR .logo-img
float:left;
What do you need to know:
Floated elements get off the normal document flow, so margin:0
auto; does not apply. You need to remove it.
margin:0 auto; on the .logo-img tag is not enough, you need to add
text-align:center; to allow the image to get centered.
Your logo-img class has a float: left
You must declare width on the div if you want it to center automatically with margin: auto. In this case width: 572px
I have an input in a form that I am trying to align in the center. Usually margin-left:auto and margin-right: auto fail to respond when display: block isn't added to the CSS. I have added display: block to my CSS but still it isn't display as I would like it to.
I've made a JSFiddle to keep easier to understand: http://jsfiddle.net/XnKDQ/97/
In order for margin: 0 auto; to work, in addition to display:block a width needs to be specified.
In my case, it was float: left that I forgot about. So, make sure you apply float: none to your input field.
You already have display: block and margin: 0 auto, you just need to set width too.
Example that should work:
input{
width:50% !important;
margin:0 auto !important;
display:block !important;
float:none !important;
}
If that doesn't work try adding !important to the values or make sure your style is not overwritten by something else.
I found the solution for you
you should specify element width
input {
display: block;
width: 60px;
margin: 10px auto;
padding: 3px;
}
You have can do something like this:
input {
width: fit-content;
margin: auto;
}
You want the three forms together to be aligned in the center? Wrap them in a single div and center that div instead.
in addition to specifying width and display block also check if the float property is set to none.
In addiction to everything, you may check if your body have the parameter position. It may be set to fixed.
How can I get an image to stretch the height of a DIV class?
Currently it looks like this:
However, I would like the DIV to be stretched so the image fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image.
Here is the CSS for the DIV (the grey box):
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
}
The CSS being applied on the image:
.product{
display: inline;
float: left;
}
So, how can I fix this?
Add overflow:auto; to .product1
In the markup after the image, insert something like <div style="clear:left"/>. A bit messy, but it's the easiest way I've found.
And while you're at it, put a bit of margin on that image so the text doesn't butt up against it.
Assuming #John Millikin is correct, the code
.product + * { clear: left; }
would suffice to do the same thing without forcing you to manually adjust the code after the div.
One trick you can use is to set the <div>'s overflow property to hidden. This forces browsers to calculate the physical size of the box, and fixes the weird overlap problem with the floated image. It will save you from adding in any extra HTML markup.
Here's how the class should look:
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This looks like a job for clearfix to me ...
Try the following:
.Strech
{
background:url(image.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
display:inline
float:left
is your problem
Floating makes the parents width not be stretched by the child, try placing the image without the float. If you take the float off, it should give you the desired effect.
Another approach would be to make sure you are clearing your floats at the end of the parent element so that they don't scope creep.
Update: After viewing your link Your height issue as displayed, is because the floats are not being cleared.
