Solution 1
Try using this CSS
#centerpoint {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
#dialog {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
margin-left: -300px;
height: 400px;
margin-top: -200px;
}
<div id="centerpoint">
<div id="dialog"></div>
</div>
#centerpoint should be the container div of the dialog
Note that the #centerpoint DIV should be inside the body element or inside elements that don't have a position: relative; property

CSS3 transform can be used to avoid hardcoded width and margins:
.dialog {
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
-ms-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
}

Compared to @Toma's answer, you can do it on one element
#theDiv {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
width: 200px;
margin-left: -100px;
height: 50px;
margin-top: -25px;
background: yellow;
}
<div id="theDiv" />
This allows you to place it anywhere on the page regardless of parent containers and their position
properties.

I'm looking for a way to display a confirm dialog that's always centered on the page, and floating over the page.
Tried that, but it's not 'always centered' at all, since the position is fixed:
.Popup { text-align:center; position: absolute; bottom: 10%; left: 27%; z-index:50; width: 400px; background-color: #FFF6BD; border:2px solid black; }
Any idea? Thanks
