这太棒了。我添加了一个回调函数

center: function (options, callback) {

if (options.transition > 0) {
   $(this).animate(props, options.transition, callback);
} else { 
    $(this).css(props);
   if (typeof callback == 'function') { // make sure the callback is a function
       callback.call(this); // brings the scope to the callback
   }
}

你可以使用CSS translate属性:

position: absolute;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

不需要jquery

我用这个来居中Div元素。 Css样式,

.black_overlay{
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0%;
    left: 0%;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: black;
    z-index:1001;
    -moz-opacity: 0.8;
    opacity:.80;
    filter: alpha(opacity=80);
}

.white_content {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 25%;
    left: 25%;
    width: 50%;
    height: 50%;
    padding: 16px;
    border: 16px solid orange;
    background-color: white;
    z-index:1002;
    overflow: auto;
}

开放的元素

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".open").click(function(e){
      $(".black_overlay").fadeIn(200);
    });

});

我在扩展@TonyL给出的精彩答案。我添加了Math.abs()来包装值，而且我还考虑到jQuery可能处于“无冲突”模式，例如在WordPress中。

I recommend that you wrap the top and left values with Math.abs() as I have done below. If the window is too small, and your modal dialog has a close box at the top, this will prevent the problem of not seeing the close box. Tony's function would have had potentially negative values. A good example on how you end up with negative values is if you have a large centered dialog but the end user has installed several toolbars and/or increased his default font -- in such a case, the close box on a modal dialog (if at the top) might not be visible and clickable.

我做的另一件事是通过缓存$(window)对象来加快速度，这样我就减少了额外的DOM遍历，并且我使用了集群CSS。

jQuery.fn.center = function ($) {
  var w = $(window);
  this.css({
    'position':'absolute',
    'top':Math.abs(((w.height() - this.outerHeight()) / 2) + w.scrollTop()),
    'left':Math.abs(((w.width() - this.outerWidth()) / 2) + w.scrollLeft())
  });
  return this;
}

要使用，你可以这样做:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('#myelem').center();
});

为什么你不使用CSS居中div?

#timer_wrap{  
  position: fixed;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
} 

我用这个把UL放在中间位置。

cadasWidth          = $('.card-dashboard').innerWidth();
cadasWidthCenter    = cadasWidth/2;

ulmenuWidth         = $('.card-dashboard ul#menu').outerWidth();
ulmenuWidthCenter   = ulmenuWidth/2;

ulmenuStart = cadasWidthCenter - ulmenuWidthCenter;

$('.card-dashboard ul#menu').css({
    'left' : ulmenuStart,
    'position' : 'relative'
});
