Element Does Not Vertically Stick On The Middle Of The Screen

I've been trying to create a modal popup using JQuery, but somehow I am stuck at the point where I can't properly centralized my element (The keypoint being the element is always c

Solution 1:

DEMO

$(function () {
    $(window).resize(function(){
    var offset = 0,
        viewportHeight = $(window).height(),
        $myDialog = $('#ev-entry');
    console.log(viewportHeight + " "+$myDialog.height() )
    $myDialog.css('top', (offset + (viewportHeight / 2)) - ($myDialog.height() / 2));
    }).resize();
});

• It's .height() instead of .Height()
• It's inside $(window).resize() so it adjusts on resize as well

Solution 2:

If you need to center an absolute position element you need to do this little trick, requires no jQuery.

The changed css:

.ex_event_frame {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    left: 50%; /* Changed CSS */top: 50%; /* Changed CSS */margin-left: -150px; /* Changed CSS - Change to half of the elements width */margin-top: -150px; /* Changed CSS - Change to half of the elements height */overflow: auto;
    background: #2e3030;
    color: #ffffff;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 101;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 14px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0010pxrgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0010pxrgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    -box-shadow: 0010pxrgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    border: 8px solid #105f6b;
}
