span problem

Sorry to bother you; in the below test, doesn't do the text
alignment. What's wrong? Using Opera 7.50 for Windows.

text-align only applies to block elements - span is not a block element.
regular text
text-to-center

Options:
regular text
text-to-center

or

regular text
text-to-center


depending on whether the text being centred is logically part of that
paragraph (2nd option) or not (1st option, probably more likely in
most cases)

Spans are inline elements, try a block level element like a div.

Thank you very much!

It was the "first option" situation
