How to make text center of DIV both vetically and horizontally using percentage?

I am able to make my text in the center but using px values. When I try using percentage it is not working. I tried display:table; and display:table-cell and also display:flex; justify-content: center; //horizontal centering align-items:center; but it did not work.

My parent div has height: 7.7% .

Note: I have updated my full header code

Below is JSFIDDLE link:

I don't modify on your code, I just write tinny block of code. Hope this will be helpful for you. As you see, the text inside lime block always align center by horizonal and middle by vertical.

$('#header .text').css('left', 'calc(50% - '+$('#header .text').css('width')+' / 2)');
$('#header .text').css('top', 'calc(50% - '+$('#header .text').css('height')+' / 2)');
#header{
  width:100%;
  height:200px;
  border:1px blue solid;
}
#box{
  width:30%;
  height:80%;
  background-color:lime;
  text-align:center;
  position:relative;
}
#box .text{
  border:1px red solid;
  position:absolute;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id='header'>
<div id='box'>
  <div class='text'>abchghjghj</div>
</div>
</div>

</div>

You can use flex for achieve the same.

update fiddle below

working fiddle

.vav-main{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
 }


.navheader{
  width: 100%;
  height: 7.7%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: solid 1px #b8b8b8;
 }

.navlogo {
  height: 100%;
  width:100%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  display:flex;
  justify-content:center;
  align-items:center;
  flex-flow:column nowrap;
 }

.navlogo span {
  font-family: SourceSansPro;
  font-size: 24px;
  font-weight: bold;
 }
 
 .navlogo span a {
   align-self:center;
 }
  .vav-main> .navbar {
   margin-bottom: 0px;
   min-height:initial;
 }
<div class="vav-main">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navheader">
    <div class="navbar-header navlogo">
        <span><a href ="#">DS....</a></span>

Might be you are doing that using bootstrap if so then you could try it like as below, remove span tag as both a and span tags are inline elements, so you could use one if needed.

.nav-main {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.nav-main > .navheader {
  width: 100%;
  height: 7.7%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
}

.navlogo {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  text-align: center;
}

.navlogo > a {
  font-family: SourceSansPro;
  font-size: 24px;
  font-weight: bold;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-top: 8px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="nav-main">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navheader">
    <div class="navbar-header navlogo">
      <a href="#">DS</a>
    </div>
    <div>
    </div>
  </nav>
</div>

You can use display: table; on your container, and display: table-cell; on your children, to center vertically and horizontally your navigation elements. Ypu can then set container and elements width based on the layout you need.

Possible example :

.vav-main{
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
 }


.navbar{
  display: table;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: solid 1px #b8b8b8;
 }

.navlogo {
  height: 100;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  width: 5%;
 }

.navlogo span {
  font-family: SourceSansPro;
  font-size: 24px;
  font-weight: bold;
 }
 
 .navbar-header {
  display: table-cell;
  padding: 3.5%;
  vertical-align: middle;
  text-align: center;
 }
<div class="vav-main">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="navbar-header navlogo">
      <span><a href ="#">DS</a></span>
    </div>
    <div class="navbar-header">
       ........
    </div>
 </nav>
</div>
