How to center the content in a DIV element (My DIV element may contain an image element or anything.)?

I have used the following code:

div#containerDiv
{
    margin-left: auto ;
    margin-right: auto ;
}

But it is centering the DIV element itself.

I want the content (i.e. image element in the div) to be centered.

The problem with text-align is, it only works horizontally.

    This should do it for you:

    div#containerDiv
    {
        margin-left: auto ;
        margin-right: auto ;
        text-align: center ;
    }
    

    In response to your comment, it’s pretty hard to vertically align something the way you want to. I’d recommend something like:

    div#containerDiv > img
    {
         margin-top: 15px ; 
         /* Where 15 is the amount of space required to center the image */
    }
