but the problem is that the popup doesn’t appear in the center.
How can I solve this issue using CSS?

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>SabzLearn | Js | 165</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <section>
      <div class="center">
        <h1>click the button below !</h1>
        <button type="button">Click Here</button>
      </div>
    </section>
