[@jimhalpert9803]

[@sebastiansimon7557]

Before watching this video, I thought this was still the modern way to do it… Actually, when trying out `place-items: center;`, the child is not actually centered if the parent is smaller than the child. With `translate`, it still works!

[@woutermissler5371]

It really depends on the context of the situation, the solution you use works basically 100% of the time but the place-items: center; option only works sometimes which is why I tend to stick to the same solution

[@codewithmeer]

@@woutermissler5371 dont go for place item rather use flexbox or more better grid

[@sebastiansimon7557]

I just had to deal with something that may be a bug in Firefox: when centering elements with the `translate` approach, it seems that the _print preview_ still considers the extra space created by the `left` and `top` positioning, even if everything should be centered on one page; the extra space completely break the paged media layout. With the Grid centering, no extra space is created at any point, so only this works.
