Absolute Positioning

July 15, 2015

To centre an image inside of a div:

#parent {
    position: relative;
    height: 300px;
}

#child {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    display: block;
    margin: auto;
}

To centre text inside of a div (sourced here):

#parent {position: relative;}

#child {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    width: 50%;
    height: 30%;
    margin: auto;
}
