Ways to centrally align the bootstrap modal vertically

As a newcomer, I have exhausted all available solutions before turning to this platform for help.

Here is my current CSS code:

#orphanModal{
  .modal-body{
    min-height: 450px;
    margin-bottom: 10px; 
  }
  .modal-footer {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 8px 14px;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: 400;
    background: #f1f1f1;
    border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
    border-radius: 6px;
  }
  .modal-dialog{
    width: 700px;
  }
  .modal-close, .modal-close:hover{
    color: #000000;
    font-weight: bolder;
    font-size: 24px;
  }
  .modal-header{
    height: 60px;
  }
}

I am using the default model from Bootstrap's site. Can someone please assist me in identifying any issues with my CSS?

In addition, I have also tried:

.modal-dialog {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) !important;
}

Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer №1

When looking to vertically align an element, such as a modal in this example, consider the following CSS code:

.modal{
  position: relative;
  top: 50;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Note: This method relies on the parent element having a position set to relative.

It's worth mentioning that this approach also ensures proper alignment even when resizing the window.
