If you are doing all the above mentioned thing the inline-block or table way, you are doing it wrong. Let’s now jump into the centering techniques without any delay.<\/p>\n

Flexbox!<\/h2>\n
No explanation is needed, when it comes to aligning things with CSS flexbox properties. With the CSS flexbox module, you have a great control over aligning elements and not just the centering, but you can do a lot more things with properties like First off, you need to apply And here are the code snippets for basic centered alignments along with the demonstration links:<\/p>\n By default, the See the Demo<\/a><\/p>\n For vertical-centering, the See the Demo<\/a><\/p>\n And as you might have guessed already, using the value See the Demo<\/a><\/p>\n Of course, for fallbacks, you may consider inline-block based middling wherever needed, but I have one more technique that seems much more handy than them.<\/p>\n This technique is not required anymore, since you have flexbox working just perfectly for you. But! You always need a fallback to the modern CSS properties if your job required to make things compatible to older browsers as well!<\/p>\n The trickery lies in:<\/p>\n A small pitfall<\/em> of this technique is, you might need to provide a height at times when you need the parent element to be obvious enough.<\/p>\n Starting off with making our parent or wrapping element relatively positioned:<\/p>\n Horizontal centering can be obtained by placing the object to 50% left inside the box, and then shifting it to left half of it’s total width.<\/p>\n See the Demo<\/a><\/p>\n Vertical centering is achieved by giving a 50% to the justify-content<\/code>, align-items<\/code>, align-content<\/code>, and align-self<\/code>.<\/p>\ndisplay: flex<\/code> to the wrapping division (or parent) as shown below:<\/p>\n.box {\r\n display: flex;\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\nHorizontal Centering<\/h3>\n
flex-direction<\/code> is set to row<\/code>, and supplying the center<\/code> value for justify-content<\/code> will make the content inside the flexbox aligned centered horizontally.<\/p>\n.box {\r\n justify-content: center;\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\nVertical Centering<\/h3>\n
center<\/code> value to align-items<\/code> will align the flexbox content centered vertically.<\/p>\n.box {\r\n align-items: center;\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\nAbsolute Centering<\/h3>\n
center<\/code> for both justify-content<\/code> and align-items<\/code> will make the flexbox content aligned at absolute center of the box.<\/p>\n.box {\r\n justify-content: center;\r\n align-items: center;\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
