I have Login page, with a div in the center. I have set the height and it fits perfectly. However, if I add validation errors at the top of the div, the button at the bottom gets pushed outside the div. The page is a bit more complicated, but I have simplified it to the following HTML and CSS
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<form action="/Account/LogIn" method="post">
<div id="login" name="login">
<div id="validation-errors">
<ul>
<li>
One or more errors here
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<label>Email:</label> <input type="email" name="email"> <br/>
<label>Password:</label> <input type="password" name="password"> <br/>
<input id="loginBtn" type="submit" value="Login" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And CSS:
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 0px;
overflow: visible;
visibility: visible;
display: block;
}
#login {
background-color:#85ADFF;
width: 350px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
top:-100px;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
margin:auto;
}
#loginBtn {
float: right;
}

What changes should I make so that the Login button stays in the Blue box div even when validation errors are displayed. If you delete the validation error div, it seems to work fine i.e. the button is within the Blue box div.
This method will give you true vertical and horizontal centering regardless of the content height (based on this article)
#content {
display: table;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
#content form{
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
position: static;
}
#login {
background-color:#85ADFF;
width: 350px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position: relative;
top: -50%;
text-align: left;
}
