How to Vertically Center Two Elements in a Div

To align two elements vertically within a div, you can use either of the following methods:

1. CSS Flexbox Method

This method involves using the flexbox property to set the flex direction, alignment, and justification of the elements.

CSS Code:

#container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

This code will create a flexible container that stacks the elements vertically and centers them both horizontally and vertically.

2. CSS Table and Positioning Method

This method uses the display: table and vertical-align: middle properties to align the elements vertically within the div.

CSS Code:

body {
    display: table;
    position: absolute;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}

#container {
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

This code will make the body element behave like a table, and the #container div will be positioned as a table cell and aligned vertically in the middle.

Recommendation

Flexbox is generally recommended over the table and positioning method due to its modern approach, flexibility, and ease of use.
