Hi,
I've been asked to "update" an existing fairly simple website to make it
XHTML-compliant i.e.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
...
</html>
The site currently makes fairly heavy use of the following tag:
<div align="center">
...
</div>
This is great because, if the div contains text, it places that text in the
centre of the screen but does not apply any justification to the text
itself. However, as this syntax is deprecated in XHTML, I need to replace
it.
I found the following discussion:
http://www.codecomments.com/ASP_.NET/message713169.html which suggests using
the following tag instead:
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, that not only centres the div, it also centres the text inside it,
which is not what I want. Other sites suggest nesting tables within divs etc
which may or may not be cross-browser compatible.
What is everyone doing for this...?
Any assistance gratefully received.
