I need to center a DIV in the exact center of a page using jquery. My CSS style for the DIV is as follows:
#page-content #center-box{
position:absolute;
width:400px;
height:500px;
background:#C0C0C0;
border:1px solid #000;
}
and my jQuery for centering is as follows:
windowheight = $(window).height();
windowwidth = $(window).width();
pagecenterW = windowwidth/2;
pagecenterH = windowheight/2;
$("div#page-content div#center-box")
.css({top: pagecenterH-250 + 'px', left: pagecenterW-200 + 'px'});
This code does not invoke any action on my page when refreshed. What am I doing wrong?
