Center into div

Question

After some search, I did not find a proper way to center a list of <li> into a fixed width div.

Take a look at the page.. It doesn't work either!

Answer 1

use oldschool center-tags

<div> <center> <ul> <li>...</li> </ul></center> </div>

:-)

Answer 2

Here is the solution I could find:

#wrapper {
  float:right;
  position:relative;
  left:-50%;
  text-align:left;
}
#wrapper ul {
  list-style:none;
  position:relative;
  left:50%;
}

#wrapper li{
  float:left;
  position:relative;
}

Answer 3

If you know the width of the ul then you can simply set the margin of the ul to 0 auto;

This will align the ul in the middle of the containing div

Example:

HTML:

<div id="container">
 <ul>
  <li>Item1</li>
  <li>Item2</li>
 </ul>
<div>

CSS:

  #container ul{
    width:300px;
    margin:0 auto;
  }

Answer 4

Try

div#divID ul {margin:0 auto;}

Answer 5

<div id="container">
  <table width="100%" height="100%">
    <tr>
      <td align="center" valign="middle">
        <ul>
          <li>item 1</li>
          <li>item 2</li>
          <li>item 3</li>
        </ul>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>

Answer 6

To center a block object (e.g. the ul) you need to set a width on it and then you can set that objects left and right margins to auto.

To center the inline content of block object (e.g. the inline content of li) you can set the css property text-align: center;.
