Link won't center

[ndjustin20]

Can someone tell me why the following code won't center the link

 

$msg = '<a href="http://www.gaf.com/General/GafMain.asp?Silo=RES1&WS=GAF&App=ROOF&Force=shingle-lines.asp">
<font  "color="#000066" size="+3"><center>GAF-ELK Shingle Styles & Colors</center></font></a>';

You need to center the link as a whole, not just the link's text.

 

<center><a href="index.html">Home</a></center>

[pquery]

or you could try to add:

 

style="text-align:center;" inside your <a> tag

 

(and maybe remove your <center></center> tags)

 

OR if that doesn't work for all browsers

 

slap a <div align="center> </div> around your link

<div class="link">
<a href="http://www.gaf.com/General/GafMain.asp?Silo=RES1&WS=GAF&App=ROOF&Force=shingle-lines.asp">GAF-ELK Shingle Styles & Colors</a>
</div>

 

CSS:

 

.link {

text-align: center;

}

.link a {

font-size: 16px;

color: #000066;

}

is it in a table?

 

you could try <td align='center'>

This is a bad practice. First of all, you shouldn't be using tables. Second of all, you should use a class not inline css.

And to add to that, align has been deprecated.

...you shouldn't be using tables...

 

Depends on the data!

So I responded by saying that you shouldn't be using tables. Maybe it is tabular data, therefore I was mistaken, but I doubt that was the case.

Plus the <center> tag is going away in HTML 5

Isn't going to be an official HTML 5 release. The internet's governing body that sets up standards for online coding have stated that HTML 4.01 will be the last and final release of html.
