so sorry to have to ask this, but i need to center my images and for some reason all the ways i have tried dont seem to work!

i have added align=center to the table, the cell, the image, have even tried css also. all with no joy.

i have a table within a table, and the cell is inserted using php. I assume the problem may lie with the order the code is read.

any solutions people??

thanks,

an embarrased SJC

ok, here's the table that is shown:

<html>
<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 border=0 align=center width=351>
<tr>
<td>
<h2>Davey Giles</h2>
<h3>Lead and rhythm Guitar. Backing Vocals.</h3>
<p>Davey Giles comes across as the head of Contraban, although I think thats merely his loud character!
<p align=center><img src="daveyg.jpg" align=center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>

as you can see 3 align=center's and none of them seem to align the image!!

Could be because you don't have the </p> -- but perhaps you could simply change the <td> to a <th> to solve the problem. If you don't want the text in bold, just put the image inside a <th> cell on the next row.

Don't forget your <body></body> tags

hahaha!! <body> tags arent really essential. especially when the page is just loading up as a .php file. but i see ur thinking.

Ok... either... that the biggest typo ever to be done, or you need to spend a little more time at w3.org (http://www.w3.org)...

the code that is to be sent to the browser, whether generated by php or just written in notepad, in order to be valid must contain <html> tags, <head> tags, (poss. <title>?) and <body> tags. It doesnt matter whether its php or not... the code sent to the browser is what matters

what do u mean valid?

do u mean for it to be legal that i need to include all the tags or what?

cos i dont use the tags for any of my pages and the website is running perfect!

let me know
