Hi

 

I've read somewhere that the CSS code for centering,

<center></center>

is deprecated.

 

So what should we be using instead?

 

I understand there is a code for centering text, which I forgot but is something like

text-align=center

or something. What is it exactly?

 

Also, what about centering things other than text, like images?

defo text-align:center;

 

if you want to centre a div then margin:0 auto;

 

It's not good practice to just put this is a style on the page. Allways place any ccs code in a stylesheet wherever possible.

 

Take a look at:

thanks, numb

Bear in mind you also need to specify width if you're going to centre with margin:0 auto;

 

Thanks notbanksy, but either way (with or without width) I can't get it to work.

I have for example

<div style="margin:0 auto width:55%">Hello Notbanksy</div>

but this isn't centering.

Should be

 

<div style="margin:0 auto; width:55%">Hello Notbanksy</div>

 

Note the ; after auto.

Yay, that does it bocaj

 

Also it seems that for it to be centered more exactly, the best is to set width at 0px, at least on my screen.
