How can I center this piece of text?


The piece of text, "We do photography and videography", must be centered. I tried using the text-align command and justifying the content to the center. I think that it must have something to do with the way I have positioned the whole body of the HTML file.

var i = 0, text;
text = "All your favorite memories in one film.";

function typing() {
  if(i < text.length) {
    document.getElementById("text").innerHTML += text.charAt(i);
    i++;
    setTimeout(typing, 50);
  }
}
typing();

Centering this piece of text in the most simple way would be great.


Solution

  • At first your CSS code is not in <style>...</style> style tags.

    Next, your body { width: 50vh } CSS code restricts <h3> to align because of the small width. Remove it and then everything should work fine.

    body {
        height: 100vh;
        background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 67, 67, 0.75), rgba(58, 58, 58, 0.75)), url(4kcamera.jpg);
        background-size: cover;
        background-position: center;
        text-align: center;
        justify-content: center;
    }
