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"
