Trying to keep this div full of text in the center of the page, behind an image that fades out. I have everything worked out except for the centering of the text div. I tried doing margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto, but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong?
And I'm testing the results in Chrome as I go, if that makes a difference.
HTML
<div class="content">
<div class="info">
<p class="title">is this like, something i don't know</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="size">90 x 145 cm</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="year">2012</p>
</div>
<img class="work" src="029.jpg"/>
</div>
CSS
.work {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
img.work:hover {
opacity:0.5;
}
.content {
position: relative;
}
.info {
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 100px;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
.title {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.year {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.size {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
}
Since you are using absolute positioning, use
left:0;
right:0;
to make items centralized.
Thus your new CSS for .info
would be like
.info {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 100px;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
right:0;
left:0;
}
