Center with <center>

[littlegreiger]

I've added this to my css stylesheet which is included in all my webpages:

center {text-align: center}

It does what it's supposed to however when I go to the W3 Validator. It says "element "CENTER" undefined". Anyone know why this is?

You're probably using a Strict DTD in which case presentation elements are unvalid. Give a class or ID to a div and center that div instead.

.class {   text-align: center;}or#id {   text-align: center;}

<div class="class"></div> or <div id="id"></div>A certain ID can only be used once in a page and should be used on medium-large chunks in your page. Classes are for multiple lesser-important elements on your page.

Thanks. I just realized that I could do that.

if you where using <center> you wouldn't need to add the CSS. <center> is designed to center stuff on it's own. But yes is is depreciated in XHTML.

The fix is just <p style="text-align: center">Hello World.</p>

Thanks guys. I got it figured out I just added

.center {text-align: center}

The <center> command works without css, but when validating the page it says that's incorrect. It would center the text but give me validation errors.

u can also write so :<center> <p>Im in center</p></center>But it strange, in <img> for eample, if im writiing 'valign="absmiddle"' - it works, but if im writing - 'style="vertical-align:absmiddle"' - it doesnt work. I meant, the picture isnt in the middle.
