I made a form and I am trying to center it on page but it doesn't work. I tried applying these 2 CSS to it but it didn't work.
form{margin: 0 auto;}
form{margin: auto;}
I also tried enclosing the form into div.container and applying same CSS to it but still nothing.
But this works:
{margin: 0 250px 0;}
Form here
You need to do two things to achieve this:
1) Change inline-block
display on the form to be block
.
2) Fix the width (you currently have it as auto
).

Or if you don't want to fix the form size, you can use text-align: center
(Thanks @donderpiet)
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/bMf9M/4/
You have to specify the width of the container as elements with display:block
property automatically size to the maximum width of their container.
You need to set a Width if you like to use margin:auto;
Your form
has a property display: inline-block;
, which makes it behave like an inline element. So you have to add text-align: center;
to its parent to make it center horizontally. Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/bMf9M/4/.
Don't forget to set the form's text-align
to left
, otherwise it will have center-aligned text.
