html container align code example

Example 1: how to align contents of div in center

1. Enclose the div that you want to center with a parent element 
(commonly known as a wrapper or container)

2. Set “text-align: center” to parent element.

3. Then set the inside div to “display: inline-block”

Example 2: how to center div

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.center {
  margin: auto;
  width: 80%;
  border: 3px solid #73AD21;
  padding: 10px; # deals with margins within the element itself
  margin: 20px; # deals with area around outside of element
}
</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>
