    Solved Iframe Center Align (Horizontal)

    Post by FineryWorkshop February 14th 2015, 4:19 am

    So, I'm trying to center my iframe and every tutorial I've looked up so far hasn't worked. I know it sounds stupid that I can't do it, but I'm having trouble with it :/ Here's the code I have:
    Code:
    <style>
    iframe{
      align: center !important;
      position: center !important;
    }
    </style>

    <iframe src="http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/" width="1500" height="600" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
    I tried putting it in a table, and a ton of other things. But it just doesn't want to center Sad I also tried it as a simple HTML file off my website and it doesn't work, so it's not something on my website.

    If you want to center an element with CSS use margin:0 auto; or margin:auto;
    ( note : that the element should be block-level )
    Code:
    iframe {
      margin:0 auto;
      display:block;
    }

    Now if you wanted to center the content inside another element, you can use text-align:center;

    HTML :
    Code:
    <div class="center">
      <iframe src="/null"></iframe>
    </div>

    and CSS :
    Code:
    .center { text-align:center }

    Thank you all so much all your help. I figured out the problem. (At least I think, it works now.) I made the width too long for the link so it just didn't carry on and so when I centered it it was centering the iframe not the link Smile

    And here's the code I ended up with for future viewers (?)
    Code:
    <style>
    .center {
      text-align:center;
      width:100%;
    }
    iframe{
      width: 1000px;
    }
    </style>

    <div class="center">
     <iframe style="align: center;" src="http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/" width="1500" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    </div>

    You're welcome, that will work fine. Wink

    By default the <div> element should span the entire width of its parent container, -- similar to 100% width -- because it's a block-level element. This gives a pretty good explanation on block-level and inline elements. Smile
