Horizontally center a div in a div
How can I horizontally center a
div within a div using CSS (if it's even possible)?
The outer
div has width:100%:<div id="outer" style="width:100%">
<div id="inner">Foo foo</div>
</div>Answer :
You can apply this CSS to the inner div:
#inner {
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Of course, you don't have to set the width to 50%. Any width less than the containing div will work. The
margin: 0 auto is what does the actual centering.
If you are targeting IE8+, it might be better to have this instead:
#inner {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}
It will make the inner element center horizontally and it works without setting a specific width.
Working example here:
#inner {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}<div id="outer" style="width:100%">
<div id="inner">Foo foo</div>
</div>
