One of the tricky parts of learning to build web pages by learning HTML first and then CSS is that there are some features of HTML that don't have identical analogs in CSS. One of those missing analogs is align. In HTML, you can use the align attribute to force tables (and images and other elements) to the right or left on the page. But there is no CSS align property. Instead, you have to use several different properties to align your text and other elements on the page. While this may be frustrating, it makes CSS much more flexible than HTML.

Properties for CSS Align

• CSS Align
• text-align
• vertical-align
