jQuery CenterIT

Have you ever had to deal with the hassle of centering modal windows? I made this function to automagically center windows I call this function after I load a modal and it centers the object perfectly for every browser. It takes the hassle of wondering if something is perfectly center in every browser. The only thing I do to use it is send it the main containing div that the object should be centered in and the div that I want to be centered. It grabs the offset does a little basic math and that’s it. No more hassle with centering now it will be perfectly centered.

?View Code JAVASCRIPTfunction CenterIT(mainModal, mainContainer) { var modalW = $(mainModal).width() / 2; var windowW = $(mainContainer).width() / 2; var modalH = $(mainModal).height() / 2; var windowH = $(mainContainer).height() / 2; var centerPointW = windowW - modalW; var centerPointH = windowH - modalH; var myPoint = $(mainContainer).offset(); centerPointW = myPoint.left + centerPointW; centerPointH = myPoint.top + centerPointH; $(mainModal).css('left', centerPointW); $(mainModal).css('top', centerPointH);
}
