How to center an element in CSS

Hi There,

I have an element that I want to center horizontally and vertically in the screen, but I'd rather not use absolute positioning. Does anyone know of another method?

You can use "margin: 0 auto;" to center something horizontally in its container. If it's text "text-align: center;"

Hope this helps.
