RE: XHTML 1.1 and Forms

By the way... I was able to get the form centered without using DIV. I used
<form style="text-align:center" blah blah blah>. It validates, so I assume
this is okay.

Sure....:).


In XHTML you would use CSS:

1) In your stylesheet:

.form-container {
 text-align: center;
}


2) ...then, in your HTML:

<div class='form-container'>

<form ... >

</form>

</div><!-- close form-container -->


-----------

Alternatively (but not as future-compatible):

<div style='text-align: center'>

...centered content here...

</div>


-----------

Older, deprecated method (not recommended):

<div align='center'>

...centered content here...

</div>


------------

Very old, presented for historical illustration only:

<center>

...centered content here...

</center>

Well, I thought that might be the case. But I want the form centered on the
page, and I thought the only way to center something was by putting it in a
centered paragraph. Is there another method?
