I am a newbie and just learn about coding. I got stuck on a pretty simple thing I guess. How do I center a drop down button in a page? This is the HTML code.
.dropbtn {
background-color: #04AA6D;
color: white;
padding: 16px;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
min-width: 110px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: center;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
min-width: 110px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
text-align: center;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #3e8e41;}
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#">Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Link 3</a>
</div>
</div>
I did not use any CSS or JavaScript for this drop down button.
Should I also use CSS and JavaScript for this code to run well?
Please kindly advise.
Thank you.
You can use:
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
( In a real world scenario you'll be applying this to the container element and not to entire body)
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.dropbtn {
background-color: #04AA6D;
color: white;
padding: 16px;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
min-width: 110px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: center;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
min-width: 110px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
z-index: 1;
text-align: center;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: #3e8e41;
}
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#">Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Link 3</a>
</div>
</div>
