CSS Align...

Young Spartan · 12-19-2003

I can't use <div align="blah"> in HTML Strict standards, so what is the CSS code that does it?

div {align: blah;}

didn't work, nor did

div {text-align: blah;}

because I need to align tables and images as well.

What is it Digital?

I don't think there's an equivalent in Strict. I don't see the harm in using something like...

<table class="divcenter"><tr><td>etc.etc.

and then in the CSS put divcenter {vertical-align: middle;}

...but that's not what you're looking for you said. I can't seem to place an equivalent for it.

*sigh*

I guess I'll go against strict and just be unvalid...

It's not a matter of being invalid, it's a matter of who will be able to view your site correctly and who won't. Strict and Loose HTML determine that.

I know..

I'm just meaning go invalid against strict.

<div align="center">
<table>etc...
</div>

That is only what comes to mind.. and it is better then css, as it supported by all browsers.. and I thought it was HTML Strict... hmm

The align attribute is not allowed in Strict, the div tag is, though.

Nikki · 12-21-2003

can't you set it as a class?

Young Spartan · 12-21-2003

....example?

Nikki · 12-21-2003

<div class="divcenter"><table><tr><td>etc.etc.

and in the CSS put divcenter and then set it to center.

(Have some time)

Ok, he means to make a css class:

PHP Code:


			
.divcenter {align: center;}

and then just assign it, it may not be 100% strict, but most sites are not anyhow.
