Learn HTML-CSS “How To Align a div to The Middle horizontally on a Page?

Are you looking for aligning a <div> tag horizontally to the middle of the page using CSS? If so, you have come to the right place.

Aligning a <div> tag horizontally to the middle of the page using CSS can be done with the help of the code shown below.

HTML

<body>

   <div id="centered">

       Content that needs to be centered

   </div>

</body>

CSS

#centered {

 width:900px; //You can use any width according to your requirement.

 margin:0 auto;

 border: 2px solid grey;

 padding: 100px;

 text-align: center;

}

The above code does the job. However, you may want to make sure that no issues arise when you are using IE6. To make it work for IE6, you need to add “text-align: center” to the body and then add “simple text-align: left” to your div to make everything work. Easy, right? These corner cases will ensure that your code works on every browser out there and can be used by anyone on the web.

That’s all! Do you have any other trick that can help? If yes, don’t forget to share it in the comment section below.
