Horizontally centering a static element in CSS is normally handled by setting the left and right margins to auto, for example:

// SASS
$container_width: 100px
.container
  width: $container_width
  margin: 0 auto

However, this won’t work on an absolutely positioned element. But there is a solution:

// SASS
$container_width: 100px
.container
  width: $container_width
  position: absolute
  left: 50%
  margin-left: floor($container_width / 2) * -1
