// For centering on the page, the modern solution is to use 'flexbox'. | |
// You'll need a container the height and width of the screen, to be able | |
// to position content within it. | |
// So, for HTML that looks like this: | |
<div class="container"> | |
<div class="content"> | |
Orchestra etc... | |
</div> | |
</div> | |
// CSS like this will do the trick: | |
.container { | |
display: flex; | |
justify-content: center; | |
align-items: center; | |
} | |
// BUT!!!!! For a container with multiple elements, | |
// a little bit more thought is involved. There are various | |
// ways to position content - it can fill up the available space, | |
// bunch in the middle, spread evenly etc. | |
// So, for this HTML: | |
<div class="container"> | |
<p>Test</p> | |
<p>Test</p> | |
<p>Test</p> | |
</div> | |
// This CSS will put them all in the middle by | |
// using a column-based flexbox model: | |
.container { | |
display: flex; | |
flex-direction: column; | |
justify-content: center; | |
align-items: center; | |
} | |
// You can also use `justify-content: space-around`, | |
// `justify-content: space-between` and `justify-content: space-evenly` | |
// to check out other options. | |
// Have a look at https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ | |
// for a better explanation. |
