How to position a table at the center of div horizontally & vertically
Here's what worked for me:
#div {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
#table {
align-self: center;
}
And this aligned it vertically and horizontally.
Centering is one of the biggest issues in CSS. However, some tricks exist:
To center your table horizontally, you can set left and right margin to auto:
<style>
#test {
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
table {
margin: 0 auto; /* or margin: 0 auto 0 auto */
}
</style>
To center it vertically, the only way is to use javascript:
var tableMarginTop = Math.round( (testHeight - tableHeight) / 2 );
$('table').css('margin-top', tableMarginTop) # with jQuery
$$('table')[0].setStyle('margin-top', tableMarginTop) # with Mootools
No vertical-align:middle
is possible as a table is a block and not an inline element.
