    I'm currently working on a web project and I'm trying to achieve a specific effect. I need to center-align a <div> element within another <div> using CSS, and I want to add an animation to it. I've managed to center it, but I'm struggling with the animation part.

    Here's my HTML structure:

    <div class="outer-div">
        <div class="inner-div">
            <!-- Content goes here -->
        </div>
    </div>

    And here's my CSS for centering:

    .outer-div {
        /* Some styles for the outer div */
    }
    
    .inner-div {
        /* How can I center-align this div both horizontally and vertically? */
    }

    Now, I'd like to add a CSS animation to the .inner-div to make it fade in or slide in from the side when the page loads. What's the best way to achieve this effect in combination with the centering? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

    To achieve center alignment both horizontally and vertically for your inner <div>, you can use the following CSS styles:

    .outer-div {
        display: flex;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
    }
    
    .inner-div {
        /* Additional styles for inner div */
    }



    This will center the inner <div> both horizontally and vertically within the outer <div>. Now, let's add a CSS animation to make the inner <div> fade in when the page loads.

    You can achieve a fade-in animation using CSS transitions. Add the following CSS styles to your .inner-div class:

    .inner-div {
        opacity: 0; /* Set initial opacity to 0 */
        transition: opacity 1s; /* Smooth transition for opacity change over 1 second */
    }
    
    .inner-div.show {
        opacity: 1; /* Change opacity to 1 for fade-in effect */
    }



    To trigger the fade-in effect when the page loads, you can use a small JavaScript snippet:

    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
        const innerDiv = document.querySelector('.inner-div');
        innerDiv.classList.add('show');
    });



    Make sure you add the .show class to the inner-div element after the page loads to trigger the fade-in animation. Adjust the transition duration (1s in this example) to your desired speed.

    Combine these CSS styles and JavaScript snippet with your existing HTML structure to achieve the desired centering and fade-in animation effect for the inner <div>. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or clarification.
