Css text align center heights

CSS Layout — Horizontal & Vertical Align

Setting the width of the element will prevent it from stretching out to the edges of its container.

The element will then take up the specified width, and the remaining space will be split equally between the two margins:

This div element is centered.

Example

Note: Center aligning has no effect if the width property is not set (or set to 100%).

Center Align Text

To just center the text inside an element, use text-align: center;

Example

Tip: For more examples on how to align text, see the CSS Text chapter.

Center an Image

To center an image, set left and right margin to auto and make it into a block element:

Example

Left and Right Align — Using position

One method for aligning elements is to use position: absolute; :

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Example

Note: Absolute positioned elements are removed from the normal flow, and can overlap elements.

Left and Right Align — Using float

Another method for aligning elements is to use the float property:

Example

The clearfix Hack

Note: If an element is taller than the element containing it, and it is floated, it will overflow outside of its container. You can use the «clearfix hack» to fix this (see example below).

Without Clearfix

With Clearfix

Then we can add the clearfix hack to the containing element to fix this problem:

Example

Center Vertically — Using padding

There are many ways to center an element vertically in CSS. A simple solution is to use top and bottom padding :

Example

To center both vertically and horizontally, use padding and text-align: center :

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

Center Vertically — Using line-height

Another trick is to use the line-height property with a value that is equal to the height property:

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

.center <
line-height: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid green;
text-align: center;
>

/* If the text has multiple lines, add the following: */
.center p line-height: 1.5;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
>

Center Vertically — Using position & transform

If padding and line-height are not options, another solution is to use positioning and the transform property:

I am vertically and horizontally centered.

Example

.center <
height: 200px;
position: relative;
border: 3px solid green;
>

.center p margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
>

Tip: You will learn more about the transform property in our 2D Transforms Chapter.

Center Vertically — Using Flexbox

You can also use flexbox to center things. Just note that flexbox is not supported in IE10 and earlier versions:

Example

.center <
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid green;
>

Tip: You will learn more about Flexbox in our CSS Flexbox Chapter.

How to Vertically Center Text with CSS

Centering elements vertically with CSS often gives trouble. However, there are several ways of vertical centering, and each is easy to use.

Use the CSS vertical-align property

The vertical-align property is used to vertically center inline elements.

The values of the vertical-align property align the element relative to its parent element:

• Line-relative values vertically align an element relative to the entire line.
• Values for table cells are relative to the table-height-algorithm, which commonly refers to the height of the row.

It is important to note that it is possible to nudge text vertically up or down in CSS using the vertical-align property. This property sets the vertical alignment of an inline or table-cell element, and can be used to adjust the vertical position of text within its container.

Note that vertical-align only applies to inline or table-cell elements, so it may not work as expected on block-level elements such as or

. In such cases, you may need to wrap the text in an inline or table-cell element to apply vertical-align .

Example of vertically aligning a text:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> div < display: table-cell; width: 250px; height: 200px; padding: 10px; border: 3px dashed #1c87c9; vertical-align: middle; > style> head> body> div>Vertically aligned text div> body> html>

text-align

The text-align CSS property sets the horizontal alignment of the inline-level content inside a block element or table-cell box. This means it works like vertical-align but in the horizontal direction.

Try it

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ text-align: start; text-align: end; text-align: left; text-align: right; text-align: center; text-align: justify; text-align: justify-all; text-align: match-parent; /* Character-based alignment in a table column */ text-align: "."; text-align: "." center; /* Block alignment values (Non-standard syntax) */ text-align: -moz-center; text-align: -webkit-center; /* Global values */ text-align: inherit; text-align: initial; text-align: revert; text-align: revert-layer; text-align: unset; 

The text-align property is specified in one of the following ways:

• Using the keyword values start , end , left , right , center , justify , justify-all , or match-parent .
• Using a value only, in which case the other value defaults to right .
• Using both a keyword value and a value.

Values

The same as left if direction is left-to-right and right if direction is right-to-left.

The same as right if direction is left-to-right and left if direction is right-to-left.

The inline contents are aligned to the left edge of the line box.

The inline contents are aligned to the right edge of the line box.

The inline contents are centered within the line box.

The inline contents are justified. Text should be spaced to line up its left and right edges to the left and right edges of the line box, except for the last line.

Same as justify , but also forces the last line to be justified.

Similar to inherit , but the values start and end are calculated according to the parent’s direction and are replaced by the appropriate left or right value.

When applied to a table cell, specifies the alignment character around which the cell’s contents will align.

Accessibility concerns

The inconsistent spacing between words created by justified text can be problematic for people with cognitive concerns such as Dyslexia.

Formal definition

Initial value	start , or a nameless value that acts as left if direction is ltr , right if direction is rtl if start is not supported by the browser.
Applies to	block containers
Inherited	yes
Computed value	as specified, except for the match-parent value which is calculated against its parent’s direction value and results in a computed value of either left or right
Animation type	discrete

Formal syntax

text-align =
start |
end |
left |
right |
center |
justify |
match-parent |
justify-all

Examples

Start alignment

HTML

p class="example"> Integer elementum massa at nulla placerat varius. Suspendisse in libero risus, in interdum massa. Vestibulum ac leo vitae metus faucibus gravida ac in neque. Nullam est eros, suscipit sed dictum quis, accumsan a ligula. p> 

CSS
