Agreed with Adrian. Whenever possible, assign a class and style it by it’s class. I will sometimes create a .center class and then I can use it, but I try and assign ID’s to most layout elements when possible.

.center {text-align:center}

You shouldn’t encourage people to use the style attribute because it has the highest rank of CSS definitions and is really hard to overwrite with a stylesheet.

I can’t believe I missed that! Thanks for pointing it out. I’ll fix it in the post.

Good tip, but doesn’t work cross browser I’m afraid. You need to do the following:

body {
text-align: center;
}
.wrapper {
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}

Hope this helps
