I need to place a `div` (with `position:absolute;`) element in the center of my window. But I am having problems doing so, because the **width is unknown**.

I tried this. But it needs to be adjusted as the width is responsive.

    .center {
      left: 50%;
      bottom: 5px;
    }

How can I do it?

I have an `EditText` with the property:

    android:minLines=&quot;3&quot;


However, when I start typing, it types in the middle of the `EditText`.

Is there any way to get this to start typing at the top left of the `EditText` area?

It&#39;s been a mess to show a DialogBox at the center of its parent form. Here is a method to show a dialog. 

I am positioning its parent to center but not able to center the DialogBox

   

    private void OpenForm(Object point, Object height, Object width)
    {
        FormLoading frm = new FormLoading();
        Point temp = (Point)point;
        Point location = new Point(temp.X + (int)((int)width) / 2, 
                                   temp.Y + (int)((int)height) / 2);
        frm.Location = location;
        frm.ShowDialog();
    }

    private void btnView_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {

I&#39;m including a table in my LaTeX document and the centering works fine if the table isn&#39;t wider than the text column above it, but when the table is wider, the left side of the table sticks to the left side of the text column, and the additional width of the table is on the right side of the page, how can I center the table?

How can I position my loading indicator in the center of the screen. Currently I&#39;m using a little placeholder and it seems to work fine. However, when I scroll down, the loading indicator stays right in that predefined position. How can I make it follow the scrolling so that it always sits on top??

CSS: Position loading indicator in the center of the screen

This is a two part question:

 1. How can you position the modal vertically in the center when you don&#39;t know the exact height of the modal?

 2. Is it possible to have the modal centered and have overflow:auto in the modal-body, but only if the modal exceeds the screen height?

I have tried using this:

    .modal-dialog {
      height: 80% !important;
      padding-top:10%;
    }

    .modal-content {
      height: 100% !important;
      overflow:visible;
    }

    .modal-body {
      height: 80%;
      overflow: auto;
    }

This gives me the result I need when the content is much larger than vertical screen size, but for small modal contents it&#39;s pretty much unusable.

**Problem:** as you can see, the expected behavior would be to have the empty `TextView` above to appear centered on the screen. On the design preview in Eclipse, it is OK. Only when added to `root_view` as a fragment the `FrameLayout` won&#39;t fill the whole screen.

`root_container` is blue, and `FrameLayout` is yellowish, see below for debug purposes. ***Shouldn&#39;t the yellow pane fill the whole screen?!?!?!?***

How to vertically center a &lt;span&gt; inside a div?

I have a `div` tag with `width` set to **800 pixels**. When the browser width is greater than **800 pixels**, it shouldn&#39;t stretch the `div`, but it should bring it to the middle of the page.


How to align a &lt;div&gt; to the middle (horizontally/width) of the page

I am just curious as to why the `&lt;center&gt;` tag in HTML was deprecated.

The `&lt;center&gt;` was a simple way of quickly center-aligning blocks of text and images by encapsulating the container in a `&lt;center&gt;` tag, and I really cannot find any simpler way on how to do it now.

Anyone know of any simple way on how to center &quot;stuff&quot; (not the `margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;` and width thing), something that replaces `&lt;center&gt;` ?  And also, why was it deprecated?

How to center absolute div horizontally using CSS?

Is there a way to **CENTER A DIV vertically and horizontally** but, and that is important, that **the content will not be cut when the window is smaller than the content**  **The div must have a background color and a width and hight.** 

I have always centered divs with the absolute positioning and negative margins like in the example provided. But it has the problem that it cuts the content on top. Is there a method to center the div .content without this problem?

I have the example here to play: http://jsbin.com/iquviq/1/edit

CSS:

    body { margin: 0px; }
    
    .background {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    	background-color: yellow;
    }

    /* 
    is there a better way than the absolute positioning and negative margin to center the div .content: div with background color a width and a hight?: 
    */ 

 
    .content {
        width: 200px;
        height: 600px;
        background-color: blue;
    	
        position:absolute;
        top:50%;
        left:50%;
        margin-left:-100px;/* half width*/
        margin-top:-300px;/* half height*/
    }

HTML:

    &lt;div class=&quot;background&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt; some text &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

My question is not duplicate of &quot;How to center an element horizontally and vertically? &quot; 1- My question was asked before. (just check dates). 2- My question ask very clearly and in black as condition: &quot;the content will not be cut when the window is smaller than the content&quot;

Center a DIV horizontally and vertically

I know it sounds easy.  I need to put a text in center, but when the text is too long it needs to go below, but still align in the center of my xml.

Here&#39;s my code :

     &lt;LinearLayout
  		android:layout_width=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
  		android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
  		android:id=&quot;@+id/showdescriptioncontenttitle&quot;

  		android:paddingBottom=&quot;10dp&quot;
  		android:layout_centerHorizontal=&quot;true&quot;
  	&gt;
  		&lt;TextView 
  			android:id=&quot;@+id/showdescriptiontitle&quot;
  			android:text=&quot;Title&quot;
  			android:textSize=&quot;35dp&quot;
  			android:layout_width=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
  			android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
  		/&gt;
  	&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;

I put paddingTop and Bottom because I need some space.

Flutter : Vertically center column

Is it possible to center a background image in a div? I have tried just about everything - but no success:

    &lt;/div&gt;
    
    //CSS
    #doit { background-image: url(images/pic.png); background-repeat: none; text-align: center; }

Is this possible?



How to center a (background) image within a div?

I&#39;m trying to get a div that has `position:fixed` center aligned on my page.

I&#39;ve always been able to do it with absolutely positioned divs using this &quot;hack&quot;

    left: 50%; 
    width: 400px; 
    margin-left: -200px;

...where the value for margin-left is half the width of the div.

This doesn&#39;t seem to work for fixed position divs, instead it just places them with their left-most corner at 50% and ignores the margin-left declaration.

Any ideas of how to fix this so I can center align fixed positioned elements?

And I&#39;ll throw in a bonus M&amp;M if you can tell me a better way to center align absolutely positioned elements than the way I&#39;ve outlined above.

Center aligning a fixed position div

Hi I&#39;m using something similiar to the following to get a div positioned in the middle of the screen:

    &lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt; 
    #mydiv {
    	position:absolute;
    	top: 50%;
    	left: 50%;
    	width:30em;
    	height:18em;
    	margin-top: -9em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your height*/
    	margin-left: -15em; /*set to a negative number 1/2 of your width*/
    	border: 1px solid #ccc;
    	background-color: #f3f3f3;
    }
     
    &lt;/style&gt;
    
    
    &lt;div id=&quot;mydiv&quot;&gt;Test Div&lt;/div&gt;

However the problem with this is it positions the item in the middle of the page not the screen. So if the page is a few screen high and I&#39;m at the top of the page (the top part of the part is displayed on the screen) when I make the div appear it&#39;s not even on the screen. You have to scroll down to view it.

Can someone please tell me how you&#39;d make it appear in the middle of the screen?

How to position a div in the middle of the screen when the page is bigger than the screen

I&#39;ve searched other questions and, while this problem seems similar to a couple of others, nothing I&#39;ve seen so far seems to address the issue that I&#39;m having.

I have a div which contains a number of other divs, each of which is floated left. These divs each contain a photo and a caption. All I want is for the group of photos to be centered within the containing div.

As you can see from the code below, I&#39;ve tried using both `overflow:hidden` and `margin:x auto` on the parent divs, and I&#39;ve also added a `clear:both` (as suggested in another topic) after the photos. Nothing seems to make a difference.

Thank you. I appreciate any suggestions.

    &lt;div style=&quot;position: relative; margin: 0 auto; overflow: hidden; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

        &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 2em auto;&quot;&gt;

            &lt;div style=&quot;float: left; margin: auto 1.5em;&quot;&gt;
                &lt;img src=&quot;photo1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                 Photo Caption
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div style=&quot;float: left; margin: auto 1.5em;&quot;&gt;
                &lt;img src=&quot;photo2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                 Photo Caption
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div style=&quot;float: left; margin: auto 1.5em;&quot;&gt;
                &lt;img src=&quot;photo3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;/div&gt;

Centering floating divs within another div

I need a way to center the current window. So for example, if a user pushes a button, I want the window to center itself onscreen. I know you can use the startposition property, but I cannot figure out a way to use that other than when the application first starts up. So how do I center the form on the screen?


How do I center a window onscreen in C#?

In CSS the `overflow:hidden` is set on parent containers in order to allow it to expand with the height of their floating children.  

But it also has another interesting feature when combined with `margin: auto`...

If PREVIOUS sibling is a floating element, it will actually appear juxtapose to it. That is if the sibling is `float:left` then the container with `float:none overflow:hidden` will appear to the right of the sibling, no newline - just as if it was floating in the normal flow. If the previous sibling is `float:right` then the container will appear to the left of the sibling. Resizing this container will accurately show it centered inbetween the floating elements. Say if you have two previous siblings, one `float:left` the other `float:right`, the container will appear centered inbetween the two.

So here&#39;s the **problem**...

 

&gt; **How do I maintain that type of layout WITHOUT masking children?**

Googling all over the web gives me ways on how to `clear:both` and expand a container... but I can&#39;t find any alternative solution to maintaining the left/right previous-child centering. If you make the container `overflow:visible` then the container suddenly ignores the layout flow of the floating elements and appears layered ontop of the floating element.


So **question**:

I have to have the container `overflow:hidden` to preserve layout... 

how can I make it so the children aren&#39;t masked? I need to have the child absolutely positioned relative to the parent outside the container.

OR

How do I `overflow:visible` so I can absolutely position a child relative to the parent outside the container... YET preserve the sibling float-like-layout-flow?

If the width is unknown, I did find a way a center the buttons, not entirely happy but doesnt matter, it works :D

The best way is to put it in a table 

  

    &lt;table class=&quot;nav&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;

                &lt;div class=&quot;b_left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;b_middle&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;b_right&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
    
            &lt;div class=&quot;nav_button&quot;&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;b_left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;b_middle&quot;&gt;Contact Us&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;div class=&quot;b_right&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Button Center CSS

I want a whole block to be centered in its parent, but I want the contents of the block to be left aligned. 

Examples serve best

On this page : 

http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/?yaml=%23+ASCII+Art%0d%0a---+%7c%0d%0a++%5c%2f%2f%7c%7c%5c%2f%7c%7c%0d%0a++%2f%2f+%7c%7c++%7c%7c__%0d%0a&amp;type=python

the ascii art should be centered (as it appears) but it should line up and look like &quot;YAML&quot;.

Or this :

http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/?yaml=%3f+-+Detroit+Tigers%0d%0a++-+Chicago+cubs%0d%0a%3a%0d%0a++-+2001-07-23%0d%0a%0d%0a%3f+%5b+New+York+Yankees%2c%0d%0a++++Atlanta+Braves+%5d%0d%0a%3a+%5b+2001-07-02%2c+2001-08-12%2c%0d%0a++++2001-08-14+%5d%0d%0a

the error message should all line up as it does in a console.

CSS: Center block, but align contents to the left

I have a div that will have this CSS:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    #some_kind_of_popup
    {
        position: fixed;
        top: 100px;
        min-height: 300px;
        width: 90%;
        max-width: 900px;
    }

Now, how can i make this div centered? I can use `margin-left: -450px; left: 50%;` but this will only work when the screen is &gt; 900 pixels. After that (when the window is &lt; 900 pixels), it will no longer be centered. 

I can of course do this with some kind of js, but is there a &quot;more correct&quot; of doing this with CSS?  

Center fixed div with dynamic width (CSS)

I&#39;ve got a menu that appears on hover over an absolutely positioned div. All of the menu items have to be relatively positioned because the absolutely div will appear multiple times on a page and will appear in multiple sizes in one instance.

How would I center multiple items with `position: relative` both vertically and horizontally when I won&#39;t know the the size of the parent div?

I know the `position: absolute` trick with negative margins, but this situation calls for something different.

Here&#39;s the code:

    .OuterCase { 
      position  : absolute; 
      width     : 100%;  
      height    : 100%; 
      text-align: center;
    }
    
    .InnerItem  { 
       width  : 38px;
       height : 38px;
       display: inline-block;
    }

I&#39;ve got it to center the items horizontally; it&#39;s getting the vertical that&#39;s being a bit elusive.




Center an item with position: relative

I want to make a list row layout. This layout has a imageview in the most left, a textview right next to the imageview, and a imageview in the most right. I want all of them are center vertical.

    &lt;RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; android:layout_height=&quot;100dp&quot;

            android:src=&quot;@drawable/arrow&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;

I also tried to add `android:layout_centerVertical=&quot;true&quot;` to the textview, but the result is the textview align bottom with the two imageview.
I tried this in android 4.2 emulator.
Anybody could help me about this?




RelativeLayout center vertical

I&#39;ve been looking for over a day for a solution to this problem but nothing helps, even the answers here. Documentation doesn&#39;t explain anything too.

I am simply trying to get a rotation in the direction of another object. The problem is that the bitmap is not rotated around a fixed point, but rather around the bitmaps (0,0).

Here is the code I am having troubles with:

      Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
      mtx.reset();
      mtx.preTranslate(-centerX, -centerY);
      mtx.setRotate((float)direction, -centerX, -centerY);
      mtx.postTranslate(pivotX, pivotY);
      Bitmap rotatedBMP = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, spriteWidth, spriteHeight, mtx, true);
      this.bitmap = rotatedBMP;

The weird part is, it doesn&#39;t matter how I change the values within `pre`/`postTranslate()` and the float arguments in `setRotation()`. Can someone please help and push me in the right direction? :)



Android: How to rotate a bitmap on a center point

When I specify `text-align:center` for an element with a width that is greater than the width of the text, the text is centered within the content box of the element (as expected).

When I specify `text-align:center` for an element with a width that is less than the width of the text, the text is aligned to the left edge of the content box and overflows the right edge of the content box.

You can see the two cases in action [here][1].

Can any CSS magic make the text equally overflow both the left edge and the right edge of the content box, so that it stays centered?

with this CSS content

    #btn_s{
        width: 100px;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;

Center form submit buttons HTML / CSS

I have the code below and I&#39;d like to center the &quot;well&quot; elements of the outer &quot;row&quot; div.  I&#39;ve tried various approaches such as text-align: center (which just centers the text and not the inner DIV elements.  

Here is a [jsfiddle][1].  The idea is that I get a page of &quot;well&quot; tiles and that after 4 or so it wraps.  But if it is less than 4, they should appear centered on the page.

    &lt;body class=&quot;container-fluid&quot;&gt;
    	&lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;
    		&lt;div class=&quot;well span2&quot;&gt;

Center Contents of Bootstrap row container

I&#39;m implementing pagination, and it needs to be centered. The problem is that the links need to be displayed as block, so they need to be floated. But then, `text-align: center;` doesn&#39;t work on them. I could achieve it by giving the wrapper div padding of left, but every page will have a different number of pages, so that wouldn&#39;t work. Here&#39;s my code:

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .pagination {
      text-align: center;
    }
    .pagination a {
      display: block;
      width: 30px;
      height: 30px;
      float: left;
      margin-left: 3px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
    }
    .pagination a.last {
      width: 90px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
    }
    .pagination a.first {
      width: 60px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
    }

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div class=&#39;pagination&#39;&gt;
      &lt;a class=&#39;first&#39; href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;First&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a class=&#39;last&#39; href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;Last&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

I was wondering if there was a way to display all text in a `Toast` to be centered. For instance, I have a `Toast` that has 2 lines of text in it. For purely aesthetic reasons, I would like the text to **center-aligned** instead of left-aligned. I&#39;ve looked through the documentation and can&#39;t find anything about it. Is there a simple way to do this that I have missed?

I have a WPF application and I need to know how to center the wain window programatically (not in XAML).

I need to be able to do this both at startup and in response to certain user events. It has to be dynamically calculated since the window size itself is dynamic.

What&#39;s the simplest way to do this? Under old Win32 code, I&#39;d call the system metrics functions and work it all out. Is that still the way it&#39;s done or is there a simple `CenterWindowOnScreen()` function I can now call.

I have a page in which a header consists of three divs - one that&#39;s floated to the left, one that&#39;s floated to the right, and one that&#39;s in between them. I&#39;d like for that central div to be centered, yet sadly `float: center` doesn&#39;t exist and I can&#39;t just float it to the left and add padding as it&#39;d have to change depending on the window size. 

Is there something simple I&#39;m overlooking? Or how would I do such a thing?

&lt;b&gt;Update:&lt;/b&gt;  
In addition, I&#39;d like to find a way of centering that middle div &lt;i&gt;in the space between the divs&lt;/i&gt; in case that looks better.
