How to vertically center modal?

I want to vertically center a modal. I searched a lot on Google but found nothing helpful. Here is my code:

 function inactive(id, ths) {
   $("#confirmation").modal("show");
 }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="modal fade bs-example-modal-sm" id="confirmation" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="mySmallModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Are you sure you want to inactivate it?</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <div class="form-group">
          <input type="text" class="form-control" name="captcha" id="cval" placeholder="enter captcha">
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">No</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="yes">Yes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

How can I center it vertically?

if you are using bootstrap 4 or above you can simply use bootstrap classes modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered

 function inactive(id, ths) {
   $("#confirmation").modal("show");
 }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered fade bs-example-modal-sm" id="confirmation" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="mySmallModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Are you sure you want to inactivate it?</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <div class="form-group">
          <input type="text" class="form-control" name="captcha" id="cval" placeholder="enter captcha">
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">No</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" id="yes">Yes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Centering the modal vertically can be done if you use CSS calc() function on the top CSS property. Let's say that the modal has a height of 600px. Using the vh unit with a value of 50 will get you the midpoint on the vertical height of the screen. Then you just need to subtract half of the height of the modal element.

#modal {
   position:  fixed;
   height: 600px;
   top: calc(50vh - 300px);
   z-index: 100;
}

By adding position and transform properties, you wouldn't get it to be centred across all widths and devices, plus calculating it all the time could be a tedious process. Here is what worked by styling just the '.modal-dialog' class

/* Center a bootstrap modal Vertically and horizontally */

.modal-dialog {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100%;
}

/* and Viola! */

There is a specific bootstrap class (v4.1) for this:

Add .modal-dialog-centered to .modal-dialog to vertically center the modal.

Easiest (not tested cross-browser but should be ok):

HTML:

<div class="container">
<p>Container</p>
<div class="modal">
<p>Modal</p>
</div>
</div>

CSS:

.container {
position:relative;
}

.modal {
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
margin:auto; 
}

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/o9pbgnz5/

It's important that you set both top:0 and bottom:0. Then, margin-top:auto and margin-bottom:auto should take care of the vertical centering. In this example, the shorthand 'margin:auto' centers it both horizontally and vertically.

P.S. Also works with position:fixed;

As it looks as a bootstrap modal, Checkout this Fiddle (jsFiddle).

Try

.modal-dialog {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) !important;
}

Hope this helps!

Try this:-

// Vertical centered modals
// you can give custom class like this // var modalVerticalCenterClass = ".modal.modal-vcenter";

var modalVerticalCenterClass = ".modal";
function centerModals($element) {
    var $modals;
    if ($element.length) {
        $modals = $element;
    } else {
        $modals = $(modalVerticalCenterClass + ':visible');
    }
    $modals.each( function(i) {
        var $clone = $(this).clone().css('display', 'block').appendTo('body');
        var top = Math.round(($clone.height() - $clone.find('.modal-content').height()) / 2);
        top = top > 0 ? top : 0;
        $clone.remove();
        $(this).find('.modal-content').css("margin-top", top);
    });
}
$(modalVerticalCenterClass).on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
    centerModals($(this));
});
$(window).on('resize', centerModals);
/* scroll fixes */
.modal-open .modal {
  padding-left: 0px !important;
  padding-right: 0px !important;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

/* centering styles for jsbin */
html,
body {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
}
html {
  display:table;
}
body {
  display:table-cell;
  vertical-align:middle;
}
body > .btn {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;

Not tested but you can try this

.yourElement{
  position: relative;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
