haku Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 You can only vertically center an object using CSS if it has a fixed height: HTML: <div id="black_overlay"> <div id="white_content">Some data</div> </div> CSS: #black_overlay { position:fixed; height:100%; width:100%; background-color:black; } #white_content { height:200px; width:200px; position:relative; top:50%; margin:-100px auto 0; background-color:white; } Something like that. Going off the top of my head, so you may have to play with it a bit.

Zane Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 could you not just set the div's margin to margin: 50% auto; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/191675-how-to-center-a-box-bang-on-in-the-middle-of-the-screen/#findComment-1010746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 No this will only center it horizontally and he probably also wants it vertically centered Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/191675-how-to-center-a-box-bang-on-in-the-middle-of-the-screen/#findComment-1010756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
