Summary of HTML horizontal and vertical centering issues

I have encountered many centering problems recently, so I took some time to summarize them and put them here so that it will be easy to find them later.

1. Center text

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<div class="wrap">
I'm in the middle...
</div>
.. height+line-height+text-center (can only center a single line)
.wrap{
width:px;
height:px;
border:px solid red;
text-align: center;
line-height: px;
}

ps:text-align:center only centers the inline elements below the element
1.2display:table-cell (multiple rows with fixed height centered)

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.wrap{
width:px;
height:px;
border:px solid red;
text-align: center;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}

display:table-cell: does not work in ie67, it is best to use it with display:table;
Under ie67: (I won't use it anymore, but I'll put it here)
Method 1: (The em tag height is the same as the parent, so span and em centering is equivalent to span centering the parent)

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<div class="wrap">
<span>
I'm in the middle... I'm in the middle... I'm in the middle...
</span>
<em>
</div>
.wrap{
width:px;
height:px;
border:px solid red;
text-align: center;
}
.wrap span{
vertical-align: middle;
display:inline-block;
width:px;
}
.wrap em{
height:%;
vertical-align: middle;
display:inline-block;
}

Method 2: (By adding an absolutely positioned parent tag to the child element, and then using relative positioning of the child element to center it horizontally and vertically)

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<div class="wrap">
<span class="span">
<span class="span">I'm in the middle... I'm in the middle... I'm in the middle... I'm in the middle...</span>
</span>
</div>
.wrap{
width:px;
height:px;
border:px solid red;
display:table;
position:relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.wrap .span{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
*position:absolute;
top:%;
left:%;
}
.wrap .span{
*position:relative;
top:-%;
left:-%;
}

1.3padding (internal padding, needless to say)

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.wrap{
width:px;
border:px solid red;
padding:px;
}

2. Centering Elements

Copy code

The code is as follows:

2.1position:absolute+margin negative value (width and height are required to calculate margin)

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.wrap{
width:px;
height:px;
position:absolute;
top:%;
left:%;
margin-top:-px;
margin-left:-px;
border:px solid red;
}
.wrap span{
width:px;
height:px;
background:red;
position: absolute;
top:%;
left:%;
margin-top:-px;
margin-left:-px;
}

ps: CSS realizes DIV horizontal centering and vertical centering

Copy code

The code is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Vertical centering online demonstration DIVCSS5</title>
<style>
#main {
position: absolute;
width:400px;
height:200px;
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-left:-200px;
margin-top:-100px;
border:1px solid #00F
}
/*css comment: For the convenience of screenshots, wrap the CSS code*/
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">DIV horizontal center and vertical center<a href="http://www.divcss5.com/">DIVCSS5</a></div>
</body>
</html>

Introduction to the principles of horizontal and vertical centering <br />Absolute positioning position:absolute is used here, and left and top are used to set the object's distance from the top and left to 50%. However, if it is set to 50%, the box is actually not centered, so margin-left:-200px;margin-top:-100px; are set. Here is a trick: the value of margin-left is half of the width, and the value of margin-top is also half of the object height. At the same time, they are set to negative, so that horizontal and vertical centering is achieved.
