A better  easier  responsive approach is to set margin-top in CSS to around 45    margin-top  45     You might have to play with that number  but it will be in the center of the surrounding div

Newer browsers now support the CSS calc function  If you are targeting these browsers you may want to look into doing something like this    x000D   x000D   lt div style  position  relative  width  400px  height  400px  background-color  red  gt  x000D     lt span style  position  absolute  line-height  40px  height  80px  text-align  center  width  300px  overflow  hidden  top  calc 50  - 40px   left  calc 50  - 150px    gt  x000D      Here are two lines that will be centered even if the parent div changes size  x000D     lt  span gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The key is to use style    top  calc 50  -  innerFixedHeightInPX 2 px   height   innerFixedHeightInPX px   inside an absolute or relatively positioned parent div

Another way   Don t set the height attribute of the div  but instead use padding  to achieve the effect  Similarly to line-height  it only works if you have one line of text   Although this way  if you have more content  the text will still be centered  but the div itself will be slightly larger   So instead of going with   div     height  120px    line-height  120px      You can say   div      padding  60px 0     Maybe 60 minus font-size divided by two  if you want to be exact     This will set the top and bottom padding of the div to 60px  and the left and right padding to zero  making the div 120 pixels  plus the height of your font  high  and placing the text vertically centered in the div

Wherever you want vertically center style means you can try display table-cell and vertical-align middle   Example    x000D   x000D   box x000D    x000D    display  table-cell  x000D    vertical-align  middle  x000D    height  90px  x000D    width  270px  x000D    background   000  x000D    font-size  48px  x000D    font-style  oblique  x000D    color   FFF  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    margin-top  20px  x000D    margin-left  5px  x000D    x000D   lt div Id  box  gt  x000D    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet  consectetur adipiscing elit  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

I needed a row of clickable elephants  vertically centered  but without using a table to get around some Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 9 weirdness   I eventually found the nicest CSS  for my needs  and it s great with Firefox  Chrome  and Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 11  Sadly Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 9 is still laughing at me      x000D   x000D  div   x000D    border  1px dotted blue  x000D    display  inline  x000D    line-height  100px  x000D    height  100px  x000D    x000D   x000D  span   x000D    border  1px solid red  x000D    display  inline-block  x000D    line-height  normal  x000D    vertical-align  middle  x000D    x000D   x000D   out   x000D    border  3px solid silver  x000D    display  inline-block  x000D    x000D   lt div class  out  onclick  alert 1   gt  x000D     lt div gt   lt span gt  lt img src  http   www birdfolk co uk littleredsolo png   gt  lt  span gt   lt  div gt  x000D     lt div gt   lt span gt A lovely clickable option  lt  span gt   lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   lt div class  out  onclick  alert 2   gt  x000D     lt div gt   lt span gt  lt img src  http   www birdfolk co uk bang2 Ship01 png   gt  lt  span gt   lt  div gt  x000D     lt div gt   lt span gt Something charming to click on  lt  span gt   lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Obviously you don t need the borders  but they can help you see how it works

You can try this basic approach    x000D   x000D  div   x000D    height  100px  x000D    line-height  100px  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    border  2px dashed  f69c55  x000D    x000D   lt div gt  x000D    Hello World  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    It only works for a single line of text though  because we set the line s height to the same height as the containing box element     A more versatile approach  This is another way to align text vertically  This solution will work for a single line and multiple lines of text  but it still requires a fixed height container    x000D   x000D  div   x000D    height  100px  x000D    line-height  100px  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    border  2px dashed  f69c55  x000D    x000D  span   x000D    display  inline-block  x000D    vertical-align  middle  x000D    line-height  normal  x000D    x000D   lt div gt  x000D     lt span gt Hello World  lt  span gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The CSS just sizes the  lt div gt   vertically center aligns the  lt span gt  by setting the  lt div gt  s line-height equal to its height  and makes the  lt span gt  an inline-block with vertical-align  middle  Then it sets the line-height back to normal for the  lt span gt   so its contents will flow naturally inside the block     Simulating table display  And here is another option  which may not work on older browsers that don t support display  table and display  table-cell  basically just Internet Explorer 7   Using CSS we simulate table behavior  since tables support vertical alignment   and the HTML is the same as the second example    x000D   x000D  div   x000D    display  table  x000D    height  100px  x000D    width  100   x000D    text-align  center  x000D    border  2px dashed  f69c55  x000D    x000D  span   x000D    display  table-cell  x000D    vertical-align  middle  x000D    x000D   lt div gt  x000D     lt span gt Hello World  lt  span gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D      Using absolute positioning  This technique uses an absolutely positioned element setting top  bottom  left and right to 0  It is described in more detail in an article in Smashing Magazine  Absolute Horizontal And Vertical Centering In CSS    x000D   x000D  div   x000D    display  flex  x000D    justify-content  center  x000D    align-items  center  x000D    height  100px  x000D    width  100   x000D    border  2px dashed  f69c55  x000D    x000D   lt div gt  x000D     lt span gt Hello World  lt  span gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Absolute Positioning and Stretching  As with the method above this one begins by setting positioning on the parent and child elements as relative and absolute respectively  From there things differ   In the code below I   ve once again used this method to center the child both horizontally and vertically  though you can use the method for vertical centering only   HTML   lt div id  parent  gt       lt div id  child  gt Content here lt  div gt   lt  div gt    CSS   parent  position  relative    child       position  absolute      top  0      bottom  0      left  0      right  0      width  50       height  30       margin  auto      The idea with this method is to try to get the child element to stretch to all four edges by setting the top  bottom  right  and left vales to 0  Because our child element is smaller than our parent elements it can   t reach all four edges   Setting auto as the margin on all four sides however causes opposite margins to be equal and displays our child div in the center of the parent div   Unfortunately the above won   t work in Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 7 and below  and like the previous method the content inside the child div can grow too large  causing it to be hidden

You can easily do this by adding the following piece of CSS code   display  table-cell  vertical-align  middle    That means your CSS finally looks like    x000D   x000D   box   x000D    height  90px  x000D    width  270px  x000D    background   000  x000D    font-size  48px  x000D    font-style  oblique  x000D    color   FFF  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    margin-top  20px  x000D    margin-left  5px  x000D    display  table-cell  x000D    vertical-align  middle  x000D    x000D   lt div id  box  gt  x000D    Some text x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Another way  not mentioned here yet  is with Flexbox   Just add the following code to the container element   display  flex  justify-content  center     align horizontal    align-items  center     align vertical      Flexbox demo 1   x000D   x000D   box   x000D    height  150px  x000D    width  400px  x000D    background   000  x000D    font-size  24px  x000D    font-style  oblique  x000D    color   FFF  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    padding  0 20px  x000D    margin  20px  x000D    display  flex  x000D    justify-content  center  x000D       align horizontal    x000D    align-items  center  x000D       align vertical    x000D    x000D   lt div class  box  gt  x000D    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet  consectetuer adipiscing elit  sed diam nonummy nibh x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Alternatively  instead of aligning the content via the container  flexbox can also center the a flex item with an auto margin when there is only one flex-item in the flex container  like the example given in the question above    So to center the flex item both horizontally and vertically just set it with margin auto  Flexbox Demo 2   x000D   x000D   box   x000D    height  150px  x000D    width  400px  x000D    background   000  x000D    font-size  24px  x000D    font-style  oblique  x000D    color   FFF  x000D    text-align  center  x000D    padding  0 20px  x000D    margin  20px  x000D    display  flex  x000D    x000D   box span   x000D    margin  auto  x000D    x000D   lt div class  box  gt  x000D     lt span gt margin auto on a flex item centers it both horizontally and vertically lt  span gt   x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    NB  All the above applies to centering items while laying them out in horizontal rows  This is also the default behavior  because by default the value for flex-direction is row  If  however flex-items need to be laid out in vertical columns  then flex-direction  column should be set on the container to set the main-axis as column and additionally the justify-content and align-items properties now work the other way around with justify-content  center centering vertically and  align-items  center centering horizontally   flex-direction  column demo   x000D   x000D   box   x000D    height  150px  x000D    width  400px  x000D    background   000  x000D    font-size  18px  x000D    font-style  oblique  x000D    color   FFF  x000D    display  flex  x000D    flex-direction  column  x000D    justify-content  center  x000D       vertically aligns items    x000D    align-items  center  x000D       horizontally aligns items    x000D    x000D  p   x000D    margin  5px  x000D      x000D   lt div class  box  gt  x000D     lt p gt  x000D      When flex-direction is column    x000D     lt  p gt  x000D     lt p gt  x000D       justify-content  center  - vertically aligns x000D     lt  p gt  x000D     lt p gt  x000D       align-items  center  - horizontally aligns x000D     lt  p gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    A good place to start with Flexbox to see some of its features and get syntax for maximum browser support is flexyboxes   Also  browser support nowadays is very good  caniuse  For cross-browser compatibility for display  flex and align-items  you can use the following   display  -webkit-box  display  -webkit-flex  display  -moz-box  display  -ms-flexbox  display  flex  -webkit-flex-align  center  -ms-flex-align  center  -webkit-align-items  center  align-items  center

All credit goes to this link owner  Sebastian Ekstr  m Link  please go through this  See it in action codepen  By reading the above article I also created a demo fiddle   With just three lines of CSS  excluding vendor prefixes  we can do it with the help of a transform  translateY vertically centers whatever we want  even if we don   t know its height   The CSS property transform is usually used for rotating and scaling elements  but with its translateY function we can now vertically align elements  Usually this must be done with absolute positioning or setting line-heights  but these require you to either know the height of the element or only works on single-line text  etc   So  to do this we write    element       position  relative      top  50       transform  translateY -50         That   s all you need  It is a similar technique to the absolute-position method  but with the upside that we don   t have to set any height on the element or position-property on the parent  It works straight out of the box  even in Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 9   To make it even more simple  we can write it as a mixin with its vendor prefixes
