Centering a single line in a div

Hi everyone,

Me again! I'm having a problem centering a single line in a div.

I have a news section that is a block of it's own, and centered. The text in the news section is left aligned of course, but I want the "Latest News" line at the top to be centered within that block. Mimicing the News Section at the bottom of my page here:
http://www.workmenforChrist.org/

I cannot seem to get it at all! I managed to get it to be red, but not centered!

The code I presently have is this (I've tried all sorts of code, but nothing I tried, worked):
CSS:
HTML:
It has to be possible to simply center the "Latest News:" text! I can't use something like "p.newshead" that which will add space after the line.

Thank you all for the continued help!

Have you fixed this? Looks centered to me.

It does? It's not appearing centered on any of the browsers I've looked in. I know the block of text is, but I want the single line with the words: "Latest News" to be centered in that block.

The link I had provided wasn't the page I'm working on, but is what I am trying to mimic because right now it's all done through tables and such, instead of the CSS.

That's my mistake. The problem is that <span> is for inline styling and inline elements cannot be moved unless you change them to block: {display:block;text-align:center}.

However, the thing nowadays is to create mark-up that is "semantically" correct, ie, the tag matches what the content is. In other words, "Latest News" is a headline for the rest of the column so it should be a <hx>, such as <h3>. Doing so then allows you to just do:
.news h3{text-align:center}

Oh okay, I was wondering a bit of the <span> tag. Thanks :)

As for putting the "Latest News" in a heading tag, I had thought about that, but it also puts that extra space (not sure how else to decribe it) after it. I was looking for a way to not have that "skipped line" that comes with the heading tags, paragraph tags, and other things.

Is there no other way to do this correctly?

EDITED:
. . . Well . . . I guess I will just made it a Header. The space isn't too too bad if one isn't so used to seeing it without it. Besides, I suppose it would made it more correct to do it this way, right? Thanks for the help, I was trying to use the <span> to position, when the only way to position something like that would be as a block of it's own. Thanks again!

h3{margin:0} .

re: Centering a single line in a div

Wow, thanks! I didn't realize the spacing for those elements (<h#>, <p>, et al.) was done by the margin! Sheesh, it makes sense, afterall, thinking about the list elements that I had to deal with!

Sorry about that, and thanks so much!
