Center a DIV horizontally and vertically [duplicate]

For modern browsers

When you have that luxury. There's flexbox too, but that's not broadly supported at the time of this writing.

HTML:

<div class="content">This works with any content</div>

CSS:

.content {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Tinker with it further on Codepen or on JSBin

For older browser support, look elsewhere in this thread.

After trying a lot of things I find a way that works. I share it here if it is useful to anyone. You can see it here working: http://jsbin.com/iquviq/30/edit

.content {
        width: 200px;
        height: 600px;
        background-color: blue;
        position: absolute; /*Can also be `fixed`*/
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        top: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        margin: auto;
        /*Solves a problem in which the content is being cut when the div is smaller than its' wrapper:*/
        max-width: 100%;
        max-height: 100%;
        overflow: auto;
}

Here's a demo: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/center-example

A method (JSFiddle example)

CSS:

html, body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: table
}
#content {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

HTML:

<div id="content">
    Content goes here
</div>

Another method (JSFiddle example)

CSS

body, html, #wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%
}
#wrapper {
    display: table
}
#main {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align:center
}

HTML

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="main">
    Content goes here
</div>
</div>

The legitimate way to do that irrespective of size of the div for any browser size is :

   div{
    margin:auto;
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    bottom:0;
    left:0;
    right:0;
    background:red;
   }
