OnMouseOver; how to centre icons in updated code

The one at https://css-tricks.com/centering-css-complete-guide/#both-fixed

There are hundreds of different things in there.

Open “Both horizontally and vertically”, and then “fixed width and height”. That’s the one.

The example that they give there is:

.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.child {
  width: 300px;
  height: 100px;
  padding: 20px;

  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;

  margin: -70px 0 0 -170px;
}

Where the -70 is half the 100 plus the 20 padding, and the -170 is half the 300 plus the 20 padding.

Can you show me how I input it into this, just as a template to go by.

It’s 1AM here. That’s a no.

I’ll wait then.

All I’m asking for is an example shown to me, that’s all.

But I don’t mind waiting.

Saturday morning I’m out signing papers to transfer ownership of a vehicle to someone else.
Saturday afternoon I’m being taken out to a board games day, featuring Brass.
Sunday I spend offline with a friend.
Monday is a public holiday, I’m most likely going to be putting together the vehicle I sold, so that it can be handed over.
Tuesday, is looking better.

That’s my current schedule.

ok, I’ll wait till Tuesday then.

You are currently in the JavaScript forum with a serious CSS issue. I recommend that this thread be moved over to the CSS forum. There are people there are much better placed to help you with this existing CSS issue of yours.

Welcome to the CSS forum, where they should be able to help apply the CSS vert/horiz centering technique from #146 to help with the issue that you’re having in https://jsfiddle.net/r7puqxno/19/

I was given this piece of code, but I don’t know how to use it.

Can someone show me how to use it with my code?

If I have an example to go by, a template if you will, that’ll help a lot.

.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.child {
  width: 300px;
  height: 100px;
  padding: 20px;

  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;

  margin: -70px 0 0 -170px;

Thank you.

That code doesn’t have the working hover CSS red circle border.

I recommend that you make it easier for them to help you, with https://jsfiddle.net/r7puqxno/19/ and then when it is working, you can transfer over what works.

This.

And like this.

This helps.

What is the current question?

It was using this piece of code, but figured out I could do it with just margin alone.

.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.child {
  width: 300px;
  height: 100px;
  padding: 20px;

  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;

  margin: -70px 0 0 -170px;
}

What if it contains, no text, no svg, no images, just plain. Is that allowed on buttons?

By “just plain”, do you mean an empty button tag?

<button></button>

How would you expect that to display, if it has no content? How would anybody know what it was for with no text to indicate its function?
