CSS Align

CSS provides several ways to align text, images, and content blocks. Properties like text-align, vertical-align, and modern layout modules (Flexbox and Grid) offer powerful alignment options for both horizontal and vertical centering, ensuring balanced, professional designs.

Key Topics

  • Text Alignment
  • Vertical Alignment in Tables
  • Flex and Grid for Complex Alignments

Example (Flexbox)

Using Flexbox simplifies vertical and horizontal centering:

.container {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    height: 200px;
    background: #f0f0f0;
}
.item {
    background: #333;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
}

Explanation: align-items: center; vertically centers the item, and justify-content: center; horizontally centers it, achieving perfect centering in a single container.

Key Takeaways

  • Simplicity: Basic alignment with text-align or vertical-align for simple cases.
  • Modern Tools: Flexbox and Grid revolutionize complex alignment tasks.
