As someone new to web development, I've been exploring how to align elements to the vertical center. I came across a solution that didn't work for me initially. Surprisingly, by adding some random characters in the CSS code like full stops and commas, it started working perfectly fine. I tested this on both Safari and Chrome with consistent results. Are these characters somehow affecting the alignment?
Here is the original solution provided:
<head>
<style>
#parent {
position: relative;}
#child {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
height: 30%;
width: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">Content here</div>
</div>
</body>
And here is the modified solution with the added meaningless character:
<head>
<style>
#parent {
,
position: relative;}
#child {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
height: 30%;
width: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
