How do You Make Items Stay Centered on a Screen no Matter the Size?

July 10, 2022

I’m trying to make these boxes horizontally centered on the screen no matter what the area of the viewport is, but I just can’t seem to do it. If anyone could help with this, I would appreciate it.

        <div class = 'jobFields'>
            <div class = 'field-1'></div>
            <div class = 'field-2'></div>
            <div class = 'field-3'></div>
            <div class = 'field-4'></div>
            <div class = 'field-5'></div>
            <div class = 'field-6'></div>
            <div class = 'field-7'></div>
            <div class = 'field-8'></div>
            <style>
                .field-1 {
                    position: absolute;
                    width: 250px;
                    height: 150px;
                    top: 400px;
                    left: 5%;
                    box-shadow: 10px 10px;
                    background-color: #0f0f0f;
                    color: #5e00bc;
                    z-index: 2;
                }

                .field-2 {
                    position: absolute;

            </style>
            
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

>Solution :

flex would do you just right

body, html {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    display: flex;
    gap: 10px;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}
  div {
    background-color: black;
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;
}
