I am trying to have every line of text/elements centered horizontally so that my page looks lke this https://hootsuite.com/. How do I style the page in CSS to look like that ?
Here is my page :
<div class ="wrap">
<% if user_signed_in? %>
<div class="row">
<aside class="col-md-4">
<section class="user_info">
<%= render 'shared/user_info' %>
</section>
<hr/>
<br/>
<section class="stats">
<%= render 'shared/stats' %>
</section>
<section class="post_form">
<%= render 'shared/post_form' %>
</section>
</aside>
<section class="post_feed">
<br>
<h3>Post Feed</h3>
<%= render 'shared/feed' %>
</section>
</div>
</div>
<% else %>
</aside>
<div class="row">
<div class="fb-like"
data-share="true"
data-width="450"
data-show-faces="true"></div>
<h2>Join <%= [2000, User.all.count].max %>+ artists.</h2>
<!-- <iframe src="terms" width= "100%" height= "600"></iframe>-->
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-10">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> I agree to the terms and conditions.
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-2">
<button type="reset" class="btn btn-default">Log in</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Sign up</button>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i> Login with Facebook</button>
<br/>
<br/>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-twitter"> </i> Login with Twitter </button>
<br/>
<br/>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i> Login with LinkedIn</button>
<br/>
<br/>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-warning"><i class="fa fa-google"></i> Login with Google </button>
<br/>
</div>
</section>
</div>
<%end%>
</div>
And my CSS:
.wrap{
display: inline-block
text_align: center ;
width:50%;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;
}
Not everything is centered on that page. The body text is aligned to the left. There are a couple of ways to center things.
1) adding the rule text-align: center
to an element aligns to the center the child elements that don't have full width.
2) adding width: 50%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto
aligns to the center an element that has a fixed width.
3) You can center things using flexbox. Go here to learn more abou this.
I think this should answer your questions.
