I have tried some WYSIWYG software like KompoZer, but when I looked to the source code, it had generated a horrible static code with a lot of <br> to achieve the vertically center of the page.Anybody could help me finding a good solution to this problem
Answer
Centering horizontally is easy - centering vertically is a bit tricky in css as it's not really supported (besides table cells <td>, which is bad style for layouting unless a table is really needed as - well - a table). But you can use semantically correct html tags and apply table display properties to it.
That's one possible solution - there are many approaches, here is a good article on that.
In your case something like that should be sufficient:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
body {
display: table;
}
.my-block {
text-align: center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="my-block">
