Center tag in Firefox by Weyzza on 09-14-2005 at 08:22 AM
Does anyone know the tag for Firefox to make an object centered?
The <center> tag works in IE not in Firefox.
I've searched for it, but I couldn't find any satisfying answer.
Thanks...

Firefox adheres much more strictly to the W3C standards than IE does. However, if you set the DOCTYPE to HTML 3.2 or HTML 4.0/XHTML 1.0 Transitional, you should be able to use <center>. However, if you use HTML 4.0/XHTML 1.0 Strict, you have to use CSS e.g. style="text-align : center;".

That would make it
code:
<div style="text-align: center">this text is centered</div>

<center></center> works fine for me in Firefox and IE and Opera (with XHTML Doctype). Only thing is that IE and Opera center everything between the tags, including any text within tables (unless specified otherwise in the CSS).

quote:You can also apply text-align to any element that can contain text, like <p>, <td>, <dd>, <div>, <span>... the list goes on.

Yes, it will work, but it's deprecated, like the <center> tag. Using CSS is now the recommended (and standard) way.
