Can't center fixed form on unbounce platform

Question

I'm working on the unbounce landing page platform. Overall, it's really awesome and makes A/B testing pretty easy. It's more or less just drag and drop, but you're able to add css, html, javascript, etc.

Anyway, I'm working on creating a fixed signup area on the bottom of the screen (should boost conversions), but I'm having some troubles. The signup box is created within the wysiwyg dashboard, and from what I see it just builds the CSS for you, as you move sliders, change colors and such.

I'm able to make the entire signup area float right to the bottom, but I can't get the signup box to stay centered. I can use margins and positioning, but not the align: center function.

I've tried doing margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto as well as text-align: center; but it does absolutely nothing!

When changing the size of the screen, it just will not stay centered. But here's the kicker; the text has no problem centering with just width: 100%.. The signup box doesn't seem to respect any wrapper and I'm thinking this might be the problem. This is all the CSS I'm using to create this fixed section:

 #lp-pom-box-214 {
    top: auto !important;
    display:block;
    position:fixed;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    bottom:0px;
    width: 100%;
    align: center;

  }     

 #lp-pom-form-51 {
   top: auto !important;
    display:block;
    width: 100%;
    position:fixed;
    bottom: 25px;
    margin-left: 26%;

  }

  #lp-pom-text-211 {
    top: auto !important;
    display:block;
    position:fixed;
    bottom:75px;
    width: 100%;        
  }

Thanks a TON in advance!! This client is really good to me, so I want to do a good job for them. I'm not a great coder, but I'm very good at marketing so feel free to give me a shout if you need help in that arena :) That's the best way I know how to give back to whoever helps me out (or anyone else in the community for that matter).

Thanks again.

Answer 1

You can't adjust the position of a fixed positioned element in this way.

A fixed position element is positioned relative to the viewport, or the browser window. The viewport doesn't change when the window is scrolled, so a fixed positioned element will do exactly as the name implies and remain fixed in it's assigned position. To position a fixed element you use the properties top, right, bottom, and left

If you want to keep it as a fixed positioned element you can vertically and horizontally center it on the page by setting top and left to 50% so as the left-top corner of the container is centered within the page, you can then use margin-top and margin-left with negative values to compensate for half of the width and height of the element to achieve true center within the center of your container.

Something like this?

if yes check this code

css

.fixed-bottom {
    position:fixed;
    left:0;
    bottom:0;
    padding:10px 0;
    background:#CCC;
    width:100%;
}
.fixed-bottom h1 {
    text-align:center;
}

#lp-pom-button-52 {
display: block;
z-index: 61;
width: 175px;
height: 54px;
line-height: 54px;
