Center a position:fixed element
I would like to make a position: fixed;
popup box centered to the screen with a dynamic width and height. I used margin: 5% auto;
for this. Without position: fixed;
it centers fine horizontally, but not vertically. After adding position: fixed;
, it's even not centering horizontally.
Here's the complete set:
.jqbox_innerhtml {
position: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
margin: 5% auto;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #ccc;
background-color: #fff;
}
<div class="jqbox_innerhtml">
This should be inside a horizontally
and vertically centered box.
</div>
You basically need to set top
and left
to 50%
to center the left-top corner of the div. You also need to set the margin-top
and margin-left
to the negative half of the div's height and width to shift the center towards the middle of the div.
Thus, provided a <!DOCTYPE html>
(standards mode), this should do:
position: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -100px; /* Negative half of height. */
margin-left: -250px; /* Negative half of width. */
Or, if you don't care about centering vertically and old browsers such as IE6/7, then you can instead also add left: 0
and right: 0
to the element having a margin-left
and margin-right
of auto
, so that the fixed positioned element having a fixed width knows where its left and right offsets start. In your case thus:
position: fixed;
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
margin: 5% auto; /* Will not center vertically and won't work in IE6/7. */
left: 0;
right: 0;
Again, this works only in IE8+ if you care about IE, and this centers only horizontally not vertically.
I want to make a popup box centered to the screen with dynamic width and height.
Here is a modern approach for horizontally centering an element with a dynamic width - it works in all modern browsers; support can be seen here.
Updated Example
.jqbox_innerhtml {
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
For both vertical and horizontal centering you could use the following:
Updated Example
.jqbox_innerhtml {
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
You may wish to add in more vendor prefixed properties too (see the examples).
Or just add left: 0
and right: 0
to your original CSS, which makes it behave similarly to a regular non-fixed element and the usual auto-margin technique works:
.jqbox_innerhtml
{
position: fixed;
width:500px;
height:200px;
background-color:#FFF;
padding:10px;
border:5px solid #CCC;
z-index:200;
margin: 5% auto;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
Note you need to use a valid (X)HTML DOCTYPE
for it to behave correctly in IE (which you should of course have anyway..!)
