Im putting our address on our website and for some reason it wont align.
Ive tried text align, ive tried regular <p align="center">
. I aligned the Heading, that was no problem, but the text wont align.

here is the code

<html>
<h2 align="center">Contact Us</h2>
<address style="color:black">
<strong>000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
Fax: 000000000000000<br>
<a href="mailto:exampleexample">Email Us : bobthebuilderexample</a><br>
</address>
</html>

I cant see where Ive gone wrong with it.
Im confused lol.

Use

Code: Select all

<address style="text-align:center">

In fact, you should use that for your <h2> tag too (instead of align="center")

Why don't you do it in the proper CSS way:

HTML: Select all

<head>
<style type="text/css">
#add {
    text-align: center;
    font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>

HTML: Select all

<body>
<h2 align="center">Contact Us</h2>
<address id="add">
000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
0000000000000000000<br>
Fax: 000000000000000<br>
<a href="mailto:exampleexample">Email Us : bobthebuilderexample</a><br>
</address>
</body>

You could give your <h2> and <a href> a CSS class as well...

You could do what Monie said, but instead of putting the H2 tag before the DIV, put it inside that DIV, that way you don't have to apply a style on it as it will use the DIV's style.

Yes you may do that.. and you have to style the h2 tag as well..

Do you? Obviously you will if you want to change the font size etc. of the h2 tag, but if the h2 tag is inside a DIV that has "text-align: center" applied to its style, then everything in that DIV will be centered, so there's no need to apply "text-align:center" to the h2 tag.

He don't have any div in his code

My code ^ will center the address according to the <address id="add">
I guess what you mean is for him to wrap the address tag with a <div> with the {text-align: center} style

Ah yes, I see what you mean. I thought the <address> part was a DIV. Oopsies
