What browser are you using to review the output? The 'align' attribute is deprecated in CSS2. There is a 'text-align' style characteristic, but it's not used for doing what you want to do, i.e. center a block in the browser window or page. I think these changes will be reflected in the behaviour of "modern" browsers such as IE6 (at least in standards mode) and in Mozilla/Netscape 7, particularly if your DOCTYPE is xhtml. To center an <img> block (or any other block displayed element) in html or xhtml, you need to do two things: 1. specify the 'width' of the image area with a length or percentage value 2. set the margin-left and margin-right values of the <img> style to "auto" ...edN
