I've been struggling to center my Container in the middle of the page using Bootstrap 4. I haven't had much luck so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You can check out what I have so far on Codepen.io and experiment with it to see if you can find a solution. At this point, I'm running out of ideas...
var currentAuthor = "";
var currentQuote = "";
function randomQuote() {
$.ajax({
url: "https://api.forismatic.com/api/1.0/?",
dataType: "jsonp",
data: "method=getQuote&format=jsonp&lang=en&jsonp=?",
success: function( response ) {
$("#quote-content").html('<h2 id="quote-content" class="display-5"><i class="fa fa-quote-left" aria-hidden="true"> ' + response.quoteText + ' <i class="fa fa-quote-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></h2>');
$("#quote-author").html('<p id="quote-author" class="lead"><em>' + response.quoteAuthor + '</em></p>');
currentAuthor = response.quoteAuthor;
currentQuote = response.quoteText
}
});
}
function openURL(url){
window.open(url,'Share', 'width=550, height=400, toolbar=0, scrollbars=1 ,location=0 ,statusbar=0,menubar=0, resizable=0');
}
function tweetQuote(){
openURL('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?hashtags=quotes,freecodecamp&related=freecodecamp&text=' + encodeURIComponent('"' + currentQuote + '" - ' + currentAuthor));
}
$(document).ready(function () {
randomQuote();
$("#get-another-quote-button").click(function(){
randomQuote();
});
$('#tweet').on('click', function() {
tweetQuote();
});
});
