Centering an img with text

[TC]

I'm trying to center the Yahoo Join Groups image with the text below
it. Using markup in the doc, I'd just use <center> tags. But I'm using
css. How can I do this?

<a href="http://groups.yahoo.co m/group/floridahunters/join">
<img class="yahooGrp "
src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/yg/img/i/us/ui/join.gif"
alt="" />Join FloridaHunters</a>

TIA!

Arggg! That was too easy. I was thinking it would be much harder.
Thanks!

I only mention the method I use because I consider it a hack and I'd
be interested in hearing of a more elegant solution.

div.image-container { width: XXXpx; }
#image-name { width: XXXpx; height: XXXpx; }
div.image-container {float: left;}

<div class="image-container">
<img id="image-name" src="NNN.png" alt="[image identifier]" />
<div>
<span>Caption text</span>
</div>
</div>

..captioned-figure { text-align: center; }
..captioned-figure img { border: 0; }

<p class="captione d-figure">
<a href="http://groups.yahoo.co m/group/floridahunters/join">

alt="" />

This works for floating the image+caption as well. Just add float:left
or float:right to "captioned-figure".

It would save a little load time if you download the image and serve it
locally rather than link to it directly.

Good idea! Done.

Why?

could be that http://us.i1.yimg.com is much faster than your own server.

It may be. But then there is the DNS lookup, establishing another
connection, and that the image may move somewhere else, or disappear
altogether, spontaneously.

So it is, Jim, but that is not important as loading time.

Apart from the maintenance / reliability headache already mentioned it
will take more than 1.5k data plus additional and possibly large
latencies just to lookup the other server and establish the connection
to it.

Unless its a large image or the server is a slug I very much doubt a
visitor would ever get such a small image delivered quicker from
another site.

I say copy it locally (if u r allowed).
