[html] Bootstrap get div to align in the center

I am trying to get some buttons on my footer to align to the center but for some reason it does not seem to work.

<div class="footer">
  <div class="container">   
    <div class="navbar-text pull-left">
      <p> Hello there </p>
    </div>
        <div class="Button" align="center">  
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-warning" onclick="changeLook()">Re</a>
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-warning" onclick="changeBack()">Rs</a>
        </div>
    <div class="navbar-text pull-right">
      <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-2x"></i></a>
      <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter fa-2x"></i></a>
      <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-google-plus fa-2x"></i></a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div> 

I am not sure if I need to use CSS to make it go in the middle or if I should just use align, but nothing is working

The answer is


In bootstrap you can use .text-centerto align center. also add .row and .col-md-* to your code.

align= is deprecated,

Added .col-xs-* for demo

UPDATE(OCT 2017)

For those who are reading this and want to use the new version of bootstrap (beta version), you can do the above in a simpler way, using Boostrap Flexbox utilities classes

When I align elements in center I use the bootstrap class text-center:

<div class="text-center">Centered content goes here</div>
