Vertically And Horizontally Aligning In Css

I'm having trouble getting my form to align both vertically and horizontally. I don't mind if this doesn't support IE--I plan on implementing an IE detection script to tell the use

Solution 1:

Do you want something like this?

try this css

#login{
    position:absolute;
    left:50%;
    top:50%;

    margin-left:-120px;
    margin-top:-60px;

    border:1px solid #ccc;
    width:240px;
    height:120px;
}

If you want a form centered vertically and horizontally, you can use css attribute position:absolute; and then use left:50%; top:50% to align the top-left corner of div to center of browser. But your Div will not look centered by this. because it is centered to window by its top left corner. I just used negative margin with half of width and height of div to center it properly.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Bojangles, for suggestion !

Solution 2:

Right now your #login div is using 100% of the page width, you need to set a smaller width so it can be centered correctly. And you can center it vertically by setting top to 50% minus div height / 2.

Like this

#login
{
    position: relative;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    width: 300px;
    top: 50%;
    margin-top:-50px;
}
