Using css: How to center div within another div? on newest questions tagged css – Stack Overflow
I’m learning how to use the position relative/absolute.
However, I’ve come a little stuck.
I’m trying to horizontally center a div within a div but when I add margin: 0 auto; it does nothing.
I’ve made a Fiddle.
Or here’s the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-UK">
<head>
<link href="DivTest.css" rel ="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body, html {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#header{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-color: lightgreen;
margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}
#outer{
position: relative;
width: 800px;
height: 500px;
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#inner{
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
height: 250px;
background-color: lightblue;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Any help would be appreciated.
