I am making a website and I had a quick question... It is probably considered a 'rookie question', I have a feeling it is something really easy. I want to center an object without using <center> tags, but when I do that, it centers it based off of the top left corner like usual. How can I change the positioning to the center of the image as opposed to the top left corner?

instead of using the <center> tag directly, you can change the position of the image in your CSS

then what do you use that you get this result. usually it is centred based on the objects centre, but we may be talking of different "usually"s here.

Set the margins (at least left and right at the minimum) to auto. Should do it.

not on inline elements.

I did try setting the margins to auto, but it doesnt work still.

of course it doesn’t work. the margin-auto trick requires a block element to work.

just setting the text-align of the parent element to center should do it.
