css scenter div code example

Example 1: css centraliz page

Use a container element and set a specific max-width.
A common width many websites use is 960px.
To actually center the page, add margin: auto.
The following example will center the website on screens that are wider than
500px.On screens that are less than 500px wide,
it will span the whole of the page:

<style>
.content {
  max-width: 500px;
  margin: auto;
}
</style>
<body>

<div class="content">
  <!-- Page content -->
</div>

</body>

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>
