Question

What is the DIV style for an HTML center tag?

Answer 1

HTML:

<div id="something"> Content goes here. </div> 

And CSS:

 #something { width: 850px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } 

Answer 2

There is no direct equivalent. The <center> not only centers its containing text, but also any element of the block. You can imitate each of them separately, but not simultaneously.

To center any content of an inline / inline block (text, images, video, etc.) you must apply the following to a div element or another block:

 .center { text-align: center; } 

To center the block element itself, use this:

 .blockcenter { width: 200px; margin: 0 auto; } 

Obviously, replace 200px with the desired block width and 0 with whatever value you prefer for the upper and lower bound fields. Also note that you should usually use class names that describe the element, not its representation.

Answer 3

You just need to use margin: auto; to center a div . Technically, it doesn’t matter if it is internal / internal or external.

As noted in the comment below, this will not work in inline elements.

As mentioned above, text-align: center; will be used to center the text inside the element.

Answer 4

margin: 0 auto; will only center something in CSS if you also add a width specifier. Without width it will not work - it will be placed on the left. But this means that it is not equivalent to the <center> , for which you do not need to specify any widths. And if you know the width of something and should indicate it in the CSS sheet, one line for each of your objects on the page (which have different widths), then you can just give the left margin.

CSS is hopeless without centering. (Presentation language? Garbage!)

Answer 5

To center the div tag on your page, you must use this code. If you want the text to be in the center of the div content, you add text-align:center; in style id # contentent

 ​#wrapper{ background:#444; } #content{ width:960px; margin:0 auto; background:whitesmoke; }​ ​<div id="wrapper"> <div id="content">test</div> </div>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 

Answer 6

If you have:

  { position:absolute; } 

you will need to remove it before the margin styles take effect.
