It's a standalone div atm I would normally center with flex/grid/margin, was curious to see if absolute positioning was possible Does it not take the height/width into account when moving? Seems like object was offset based on those values this works though 👍 thanks again

right but I tend to just use grid with absolute it will still respect the parent telling it to center.

pretty sure it's transform:translate(-50%,-50%) that should also work happy to help

.grid {
  position: relative;
  display: grid;
}

.item {
  position: absolute;
  place-self: center; /* or put place-items* on parent */
}

.grid {
  position: relative;
  display: grid;
}

.item {
  position: absolute;
  place-self: center; /* or put place-items* on parent */
}
