This content originally appeared on Modern CSS Solutions for Old CSS Problems and was authored by Stephanie Eckles

This is the eleventh post in a series examining modern CSS solutions to problems I've been solving over the last 13+ years of being a frontend developer.

How could I write a series called "Modern CSS Solutions to old CSS problems" without covering the classic question:

"How do I center a div?"

Well, this new resource has you covered! We'll look at 3 categories:

• Vertically and Horizontally (XY)
• Vertical (Y)
• Horizontal (X)

Each category shows solutions that explore using grid, flexbox, and block element layout.

Check out the full guide or jump to one of the following sections:

1. Vertically and Horizontally (XY)
   • XY Grid Solution
   • XY Flexbox Solution
   • XY Alternative Flexbox Solution
   • XY Centering for Block Elements
2. Vertical Centering (Y)
   • Y Grid Solution
   • Y Flexbox Solution
   • Y Centering for Block Elements
3. Horizontal Centering (X)
   • X Grid Solution
   • X Flexbox Solution
