Hey, I was the one who had to spend five whole seconds on asking Sarah to help! Credit where credit is due, man! ;-)

Yep, it works, and I’m glad too. Nifty bonus point to the both of you for counting, and extra points to Sarah for helping.

hmm, that is odd. check your syntax, make sure you didn’t make any typos. sometimes it doesn’t work for a stupid little thing like that and it takes you forever to figure it out.

also, try inserting the code in your style sheet after the other defined classes (rather than at the begining or end of the style sheet). this doesn’t often help, but it could be worth a shot.

*thinks* you could also try something trickier like:

#topnav img {text-align: center;}

.post-content img {text-align: center;}

or variations of the two.

hope that helps a little. good luck figureing it out. CSS is a pain in the ass.

oh, and also? “nifty” was used 21 times in your post. 22 if you count the title. I’m glad you think Canada is nifty too.

Yeah, see that seemed to me like the obvious solution as well! I tried adding it to the stylesheet (only I called it .imgcenter) and apply the class to both a p-tag around the image and the image tag itself, but with no results! Frustrating to no end!

… yet, now it works! Huh. I guess I must have made some mistake the first time. Well, thanks for the help!

and as it turns out, the tags did not show up. here is that HTML code again, just replace the parentheses by the proper symbols.

(p class=”center”)(img src=”http://obdormio.com/images/aiscreen.jpg” alt=”Red Dwarf A.I. Screen” /)(/p)

that was me ;)

I’ll assume that you know the basics of CSS and that you’ll be able to add the following class in your style sheet, right?

basically, you’ll just add a new class. to do so, add the following line of code to your style sheet:

.center {text-align: center;}

and then in your HTML, where your image is insert the following:

(I hope the above tags show up)

hope that helps :)
