<DIV> General Text Division

Description
Sets the general alignment of text or other elements on the page. The ALIGN attribute determines the alignement and can have values of left, right, or center. When set to center, the effect is the same as using the <CENTER> tag. This tag is useful for placing images in the center or right side of the screen as the image tags' ALIGN attribute only determines alignment relative to surrounding text and not the absolute positioning on the screen.

Hence the following code will not place the image on the right of the screen, unless it is surrounded by text:
<IMG SRC="image.gif" ALIGN="right">

Furthermore, the ALIGN attribute of the <IMG> tag cannot have a value of center, so the image cannot be placed in the center using this attribute. However, you can use the <DIV> tag to achieve this effect:
<DIV ALIGN="center"><IMG SRC="image.gif"></DIV>

Here's an example of an image aligned in the center using general text division:

Syntax
<DIV ALIGN=left|center|right>text or other element to be aligned</DIV>
