you can simply add <center> tag. <center> <div></div> </center> it will align div element to the center.

well listen this, every div is block level element, that means that every block level element starts on a new line. You can set margin-left and margin-right to auto on div and it will center it, but width have to be 100% and box-sizing: border-box; so margin will affect div and not add margin to div width (div will be "example" 98% width and margins 1% :) If you want something to verticaly align in div, you have to set div to be inline-block , bcs vertical-align works only on inline elements. Hope this helps and sorry on bad language

Also note please, many answers recommend using the <center> tag. This tag has been deprecated in HTML 5 and may no longer work in new browser versions so please don't follow this advice.
