container at center of div css code example

Example 1: css center text

/* To center text, you need to use text-align. */

.centerText {
  text-align: center; /* This puts the text into the center of the 
  screen. */
}

/* There are also other things that you can use in text-align:
left, right, and justify. Left and right make the test align to the
right or left of the screen, while justify makes the text align both
sides by spreading out spaces between some words and squishing others. */

Example 2: how to center div

<!--center text-->
<!--padding deals with margins within the element itself-->
<!--margin deals with blank space surrounding and element-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.center {
  margin: auto;
  width: 80%;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  padding: 10px; 
  margin: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Center Align Elements</h2>
<p>To horizontally center a block element (like div), use margin: auto;</p>

<div class="center">
  <p><b>Note: </b>Using margin:auto will not work in IE8, unless a !DOCTYPE is declared.</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Example 3: how to center div

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--clearfix-->
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
  border: 3px solid #4CAF50;
  padding: 5px;
}

.img1 {
  float: right;
}

.clearfix {
  overflow: auto;
}

.img2 {
  float: right;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>In this example, the image is taller than the element containing it, and it is floated, so it overflows outside of its container:</p>

<div>
  <img class="img1" src="pineapple.jpg" alt="Pineapple" width="170" height="170">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum...
</div>

<p style="clear:right">Add a clearfix class with overflow: auto; to the containing element, to fix this problem:</p>

<div class="clearfix">
  <img class="img2" src="pineapple.jpg" alt="Pineapple" width="170" height="170">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum...
</div>

</body>
</html>
