How to center horizontally div inside parent div
How do I center a div
horizontally inside its parent div
with CSS
?
<div id='parent' style='width: 100%;'>
<div id='child' style='width: 50px; height: 100px;'>Text</div>
</div>
I am assuming the parent div has no width or a wide width, and the child div has a smaller width. The following will set the margin for the top and bottom to zero, and the sides to automatically fit. This centers the div.
div#child {
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id='parent' style='width: 100%;text-align:center;'>
<div id='child' style='width:50px; height:100px;margin:0px auto;'>Text</div>
</div>
Just out of interest, if you want to center two or more divs (so they're side by side in the center), then here's how to do it:
<div style="text-align:center;">
<div style="border:1px solid #000; display:inline-block;">Div 1</div>
<div style="border:1px solid red; display:inline-block;">Div 2</div>
</div>
