How to vertically center <div> inside the parent element with CSS?
I'm trying to make a small username and password input box.
I would like to ask, how do you vertically align a div?
What I have is:
<div id="Login" class="BlackStrip floatright">
<div id="Username" class="floatleft">Username<br>Password</div>
<div id="Form" class="floatleft">
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" border="0"><br>
<input type="password" border="0">
</form>
</div>
</div>
How can I make the div with id Username and Form to vertically align itself to the center? I've tried to put:
vertical-align: middle;
in CSS for the div with id Login, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer
The best approach in modern browsers is to use flexbox:
#Login {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Some browsers will need vendor prefixes. For older browsers without flexbox support (e.g. IE 9 and lower), you'll need to implement a fallback solution using one of the older methods.
