URL: http://cyberbat.co.uk/test container margin: auto is not working, is there any other way to put it in the middle in IE.
EDIT: Check it again, the index.php was the
Internet Explorer displays your website in quirks mode because of this bogus processing instruction at the top of markup:
<?php
include('inc/settings.php');
?>
Remove it; margin: auto
works in IE6+. There's no need to do text-align: center
or other unnecessary changes.
Try adding a meta
record to head
:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
You can download normalize.css (just google it) and link it to your project, now you can use smth like:
HTML:
<main class="container></main>
CSS:
.container {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 600px;
For IE, replace my-auto with align-self-center and BINGO. You can also write CSS for the same:
.center-container{
align-self: center;
}
try using the following on the parent item.
display: flex;
align-items: center;
You have RAW php code because you didn't configure the server properly:
<?php
include('inc/settings.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
Resolve that issue by applying PHP to *.html files and <?php include ?>
won't show up literally. If I recall correctly, adjust this line in the .ini file to be:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php
Because this literal backend code is in front of the DOCTYPE, it causes quirks mode in IE and in quirks horizontal auto margins don't work properly.
You can go with the text-align:center on parent element, but that's a hack for IE and you should solve this properly by making IE render it in standards mode from my suggestion above.
