How do you center an image using HTML?

Vertically and horizontally?

Thanks

It will depend on which page creation program you're using, but somehow, someway you should see a tab for position/relation-to-text/justification/whatever that allows you to choose FlushLeft/FlushRight/Center. Making your choice should then insert the necessary html.
I'm assuming here, of course, that you're using some WYSIWYG editor. Otherwise, however, you should be able to see the appropriate html by going to the Source Code of any site that includes an image in the sort of location you want to achieve yourself.

There are a number of ways to do it depending on where the image is to be located in relation to the rest of the stuff on the page.

Putting it in a table? In the <td> tag of a table you could put:

<td align="center" valign="middle">
[img]whatever/path/pic.gif[/img]
</td>

Duncan's comments about a WYSIWYG editor are right on also. A lot depends on what you're using to edit your files. Note that the positioning is an attribute of the space in which you place the image, not the image itself.

You would also have to center the table as well.

<div align="center">
<table>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="middle">
     [img]whatever/path/pic.gif[/img]
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</div>

But this would only center the table horizontally, and not vertically.

Vertical alignment would require knowing the Height of the browser window...which you cannot determine from Html. A little javascript (or other coding) would be in order.[/code]

Do you know what the Java Script is?

That is a complicated question. It is dependant on the type of browser for one. Also if this a new window you would be popping up...or in the existing browser window.

There are a couple of places on the net with a lot of javascript snippets and examples that you can use. They usually have demos and descriptions of the code to go with them. One just needs to find one that suits them and plug in the code.

Here is a few places to start:

And the ever popular Google search !!!
