I get this question a lot, “How do you center a div?”
Central aligned websites are extremely common. Back in the day most websites were aligned to the left, but long gone are those days. Although, I do see the odd few keeping it old school (which is all very cool).
Centered Website
Left aligned website
There are a few methods of creating a centering div, but this is how I do it…
View Code HTML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | <html> <head> <title> How to centre a div, by BrightCherry </title> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> Hello world. </div> </body> /html> |
View Code CSS
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | body { text-align:center; margin:0; padding:0; } #wrapper{ margin: 0 auto; width:800px; text-align:left; background:#eee; } |
It’s as easy as that.
