Moving An Absolute Position Element Based Off Of Its Center

How would one move an absolute position element through CSS ideally by its center instead of its top left corner? I currently have a circular element that I am adjusting via absolu

Solution 1:

I think this is what you are trying to do is to use CSS transforms property with the value translate.

#your-div-id {
    -ms-transform: translate(-50%, 50%); /* IE 9 */
    -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, 50%); /* Safari */transform: translate(-50%, 50%);
}

The value -50% controls X-axis, and 50% is for the Y-axis

PS:play around the values to get what you want
