Need a simple *everything centered* html template
-
Hello again... [Thought I could do this on my own in Adobe Dreamweaver, but I guess not]. I need a basic (responsive) html template whereby everything on the page is centered vertically in divs...both image & text content. (I believe I need what is known as a 'wrapper'...that can be set to a certain width...& then all other content would be centered in that wrapper) If someone can just get me started, w/ just a few centered divs in a wrapper for placement of images & text, I can learn from that basic code & just add content as I go (& will be very appreciative of any effort, from anyone here). thanx, mwForman

Richard... Thanx. I don't need horizontal centering, tho...only vertical (i.e., all content would be centered on the page vertically, but would be positioned at the top of each div). What would that page code look like? Thanx again, MF

Those two statements don't match. If you want content positioned at the top, then it's the vertical centering that you don't want. If you don't want the horizontal centering, then you want the content positioned on the left-hand side. So which is it?

I was pretty clear (I thought). You gave me a code page whereby content was centered on the page but then also centered vertically in the container. I want all the containers (divs) to be centered, but I want the content inside those divs at the *top* of the centered div, not in the *middle* of it. thanx

But that's exactly what I gave you. :laugh: The content isn't vertically centered within the
<div>; it's just that the<div>is only as tall as the content. If you make it taller, the content will still be at the top of the<div>.body > div {
margin: auto;
min-height: 5em;
outline: 4px dotted green;
}

Just to add to Richard's great answer, you may wish to adjust your styles:
html,
body {
display: grid;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}Technically, having height 100% on the body works out to be the same in that context. But it means 100% of the parent element. If there is a lot of content this may not mean center on the screen - which can be a good thing. Just depends on your use case. The 100vh always means 100% of the viewport height regardless the size of the body container. Also, the margin and padding is set to zero to avoid the doubling up of the scrollbar.
