Why is the <center> tag deprecated in HTML? (13 answers)

Closed 9 years ago.

What is the significant differences between using CSS to center something on a page, rather than the tags?

Will affect page layout, compatibility etc?

Much Thanks.

Answer 1

The <center> tag has been deprecated in HTML4 (and XHTML1) in favor of the CSS text-align property, which can be applied to the <div> element or to an individual <p>.

It is always better to separate the "code" (HTML) and the styles (CSS), so in any case, CSS is the way to go.

Answer 2

To be short, just don't use center tag. Let it go into oblivion together with marquee.

Answer 3

<center> is an HTML tag, which is now depreciated

It's beter to use CSS prepriety instead: it's because it's better to isolate the structure (HTML) and design (CSS)
