Question

I’m trying to centralise a div (boxTest) within a div which is 100% width and height fixed.

below is the code and here’s a jsfiddle

html

 <a href="#" class="clickme">CLICK ME</a>

jQuery

 $( function() {
    $(".clickme").click(function() {
    $('body').append('<div class="videoMask" style="position:fixed; top:0; bottom:0; z-index:14000000; left:0; right:0; width:100%; height:100%; background-color:#000000;"></div><div id="boxTest" style=" width:150px; background:#FFFFFF; position:fixed; top:10px; z-index:15000000; height:150px; margin:0; padding:0;"><span class="closeMe">CLOSE</span></div>');
    $('#boxTest').show();   
 });

     $( ".closeMe, .videoMask" ).live('click', function() {
        $( "#boxTest" ).remove(); 
        $( ".videoMask" ).remove();  
     });   
 });

P.s the in line styles will be changed, I did it this way to make it a little easier to see on here.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Try applying this style to #boxTest to center it horizontally…

#boxTest
{
    width:150px;
    position:absolute; /* OR FIXED IF THIS WORKS BETTER FOR YOU */
    margin-left:-75px;
    left:50%;
}
