I am trying to stack two canvas together and make it a double layers canvas.
I've saw an example here:
<div style="position: relative;">
<canvas id="layer1" width="100" height="100"
style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 0;"></canvas>
<canvas id="layer2" width="100" height="100"
style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 1;"></canvas>
</div>
But i would like to set both of the canvas align at the center of the screen. If i set the value of 'left' as a constant, while I change the orientation of the screen (as I'm doing aps on iPad) the canvas won't remain at the middle of the screen like how it act in
<div align="center">
Can anyone please help?
If you set both left and right to zero, and left and right margins to auto you can center an absolutely positioned element.
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
If you want to center align an element without knowing it's width and height do:
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
Example:
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
section{
background:red;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}
div{
width: 80vw;
height: 80vh;
background: white;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
<section>
<div>
<h1>Popup</h1>
</div>
</section>
Have you tried using?:
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-left:-[half the width] /* As pointed out on the comments by Chetan Sastry */
Not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a try...
Minor edit: Added the margin-left part, as pointed out on the comments by Chetan...
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
All you have to do is,
make sure your parent DIV has position:relative
and the element you want center, set it a height and width. use the following CSS
.layer {
width: 600px; height: 500px;
display: block;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left: 0;
right:0;
bottom: 0;
margin:auto;
}

Move the parent div to the middle with
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -50px;
Move the second layer over the other with
position: relative;
left: -100px;
