HTML Span Align Center Not Working

HTML span align center not working?

A div is a block element, and will span the width of the container unless a width is set. A span is an inline element, and will have the width of the text inside it. Currently, you are trying to set align as a CSS property. Align is an attribute.

<span align="center" style="border:1px solid red;">
    This is some text in a div element!
</span>

However, the align attribute is deprecated. You should use the CSS text-align property on the container.

<div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="border:1px solid red;">
        This is some text in a div element!
    </span>
</div>

The text-align: center isn't working in a span element

The <span> Element is, by default, an "inline" element. Meaning unlike block level elements (<div> <h1> <p> etc.) the span only takes up as much horizontal space as its content.

text-align: center IS working, but you're applying it to an element that doesn't have a width greater than its content (as all block elements do).

I recommend either changing the span to a <p> element, or specifying the display: block property on your span.

Here's a JSfiddle to demonstrate that both a <span> with display: block; text-align: center and a <p> with text-align: center; achieve the same effect.

Hope that helps!

Text Align Property is not working for Span Tag

You can do something like this using margin. This will allow you to adjust the spacing between the blocks. Also, you can remove the br tags.

section {  text-align: center;  height: auto;  width: 100%;}
.text {  display: block;  text-align: left;  margin: 10px 0;  /* CHANGE THIS VALUE */}

<section id="topic1">  This is a centered Heading for Topic 1  <span class="text">This is line 1</span>  <span class="text">This is line 2</span></section>

    <p class="price">        <span class="previous-price"><s>Tk. 350000</s></span>        <span class="discount-price">(35% OFF)</span>        <div class="present-price">Tk. 227500</div>            </p>

Centering Text in a Span tag not working as required

If you want to leave your span as is, set it to the following:

.animated span {
    opacity: 1;
    transition: all 0.5s;
    display: block;
}    

Vertical align middle not working in span element

You can use display: flex to achieve this.

span {  height: 150px;  width: 150px;  border: 1px solid black;  display: flex;  align-items: center;  justify-content: center;}

<span>center</span>

How do I center text in a span?

Put a background color on the span to see why it isn't working. Those three items are in a div with no CSS associated with it. In order for the span to be in the middle, you need the div that surrounds it to, at the very least, have width & text-align properties.

Change

        <div>
            <button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>                
            <span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
            <button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
        </div>

to

        <div class="centerTest">
            <button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>                
            <span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
            <button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
        </div>

with whatever name you want & use

.centerTest {
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}

Additionally, with this markup, your code as is will cause the span to center, but you would have to add float:left to your btnPrevious id. I would refrain, as much as possible, from using inline CSS unless you are designing HTML email, so just create a CSS file that you include LAST in your list of CSS files and add your edits to there.

For example, if btnPrevious is in your template's CSS file, in YOUR CSS file, just add

#btnPrevious {
    float:left;
}

and you're good.

EDIT:

Sorry missed the Bootstrap part as I just did a search for TEST inside your code. Bootstrap is built with these classes, and being that those are already inside of a container, you should be able to add text-center to the blank div and it should do the trick

Change

        <div>
            <button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>                
            <span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
            <button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
        </div>

to

        <div class="text-center">
            <button id="btnPrevious" type="button">Previous</button>                
            <span style="width: 100%;text-align: center">TEST</span>
            <button id="btnNext" type="button" style="float: right">Next</button>
        </div>
