CSS: Position text in the middle of the page

I would like to position a <h1> in the middle of any user's page. I have been searching the internet and they all position it in the incorrect place. Thank you!

UPDATE: I mean vertical and horizontal! In the exact middle!
ALSO: There is nothing else on the page.

Solution

  • You can use position: absolute and top-margin-top to vertically align something whose height you know, and line-height to give a single line of text a known height with the text in the middle:

    h1 {
    left: 0;
    line-height: 200px;
    margin-top: -100px;
    position: absolute;
    text-align: center;
    top: 50%;
    width: 100%;
}
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
