In this article, we will align the text content into the center by using JavaScript. We use HTML DOM style textAlign property to set the alignment of text.

The DOM style textAlign property is pretty much similar to the text-align property in the CSS, and the Dom textAlign property returns the horizontal alignment of the text in a block-level element in an HTML page and allows for changes to that alignment.

Syntax:

object.style.textAlign = "center"

Example: This example aligns the text content into the center using JavaScript.

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function myFunction() {
            let buttontext = document.getElementById("button");
            buttontext.innerHTML = "Text center Alinged"
            let txt = document.getElementById("content");
            txt.style.textAlign = "center";
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>
 
 
 
                          
 
 
 
 
Output:
