I am making a basketball scoreboard and I'm wondering how do I center the score text inside of the scoreboard container?
While the main div is already set as a flex container, the p score text inside of the scoreboard container is not affected by justify content or align items.
I tried using margin 0 auto and using padding to center it, but that doesn't look good at all.
I would appreciate any help!
body {
margin: 0;
}
@font-face {
font-family: cursed-timer;
src: url(cursed-timer.ttf);
}
.container {
margin: 100px auto;
width: 600px;
height: 425px;
background-color: #150400;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-evenly;
border-radius: 2px;
}
h3 {
margin-top: 75px;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 48px;
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}
.scoreboard {
margin-top: -40px;
width: 150px;
height: 125px;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
border-radius: 2px;
}
p {
color: #ffa500;
font-family: cursed-timer;
font-size: 72px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 25px;

Try This:
I simply added
text-align: center;to the<p>containing the score text.
