`margin:auto;` doesn’t work on inline-block elements

by

It is no longer centered because it now flows on the page in the same way inline elements do (very similarly to img elements). You will have to text-align: center the containing element to center the inline-block div.

#container {
    border: 1px solid black;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 50px;
}
.MtopBig {
    margin: 75px auto;
    position: relative;
}
.center {
    text-align: center;
}
<div class="center">
    <div class="MtopBig" id="container"></div>
</div>
