To center a <div> element on a page using CSS, there are several methods. One of the simplest and most versatile is to use Flexbox:
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /* horizontally */
align-items: center; /* vertically */
height: 100vh; /* container height - full screen */
}
.centered-div {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: lightblue;
}
And HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="centered-div">Centered block</div>
</div>
This method aligns the nested block both vertically and horizontally in the center of the screen.
Another way is to use absolute positioning with transformation:
.centered-div {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: lightcoral;
}
This method also centers the element relative to the browser window.
