Vertically centering a div in body?

See this edited version of your jsFiddle.

Basically, just wrap your content in <div class = "main"><div class = "wrapper"></div></div>, and add the following CSS:

html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
.main {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    display: table;
}
.wrapper {
    display: table-cell;
    height: 100%;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

If you have flexbox available, you can do it without using display: table;

Code example:

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

.container {
  align-items: center;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
<html>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="content">
        This div will be centered
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Ta-da! Vertically and horizontally centered content div. JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/z0g0htm5/.
