I have been looking at how to align things using css. The only 2 properties relating to alignment I can find are text-align and vertical-align. Of these text-align is supposed to only apply to inline elements inside a block element, and vertical-align applies only inline elements and elements inside tables. My question is, why are there no properties for controlling the alignment of block level elements. Specifically divs. W3C is encouraging the use of CSS positioning for layout and only using tables for tabular data. Yet the most popular layout style (a centered website) is impossible without either the html tag align="center" or messing about with uneccesary frames. Has this basic thing really been overlooked? Or is there another way of contolling alignment that I'm not aware of?
