migrating from markup tags to CSS

[ffej2ffej]

I am learning CSS and it's mostly going well. All the advantages about using CSS are realized almost immediately once you being using it. I, however, am from the old school. When you wanted something centered, you surrounded it with <center> and </center> tags. This would center ANYTHING. Pictures, tables, etc. would all be centered if they were between these tags. CSS text-align:center will center the text. Nothing else. I would like to know if there is a way to center other things or if there will be soon.I understand that <center> is deprecated and I would like to stop having to use it.Thank you in advance for your help.

If you want to center a block element, make sure it has a fixed width, then set the left and right margins to "auto".

.container {    width: 800px;    margin: 0 auto;}
