I am trying to positioning the text at center, horizontally and vertically. The issue is my code do that for the first div only, and I repeat more div, one after another (vertically). Can you fix my trial from below ?

What I have tried:

HTML

<pre><!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
	<title>Horizontal and Vertical alignment</title>
	<style>
	
	.container {
		height: 200px;
		width: 400px;
		border: 2px dashed #4b2869;
		display: table-cell;
		text-align: center;
		vertical-align: middle;
		position: relative;
	}
	.container1 {
		height: 200px;
		width: 400px;
		border: 2px dashed #4b2869;
		display: table-cell;
		text-align: center;
		vertical-align: bottom;
		position: absolute;
	}
	</style>
</head>

<body style="background-color:#646464;">
	<div class="container">container</div>
	<div class="container1">container1</div>
</body>

</html>

So, I have tried
HTML
Expand ▼

<title>Horizontal and Vertical alignment

.container {
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
border: 2px dashed #4b2869;
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
position: relative;
}
.container1 {
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
border: 2px dashed #4b2869;
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: bottom;
position: absolute;
}
