Should be enough here though to experiment with centering on my own. Thanks for the article and comments. I was hoping to view your test case, but the link is broken.

Also, it is for the Firefox and Safari anamoly that I posted this. *trovster* : Actually, using margin: 0 auto isn’t always the best idea.

If so, because you are using a fixed width margin: 0 auto; would be the ideal solution to center the block element. Actually, thinking about it, I'm not sure what Safari is doing with what you described above. You need to set display: block; on the span, to allow for height/width measurements to display the image. text-align is for centering inline elements, but the span is now display: block; Best bet is to use margin on the containing element (usually a heading).

Setting it to the parent block tag displays it alright. Also, as you said, display: block does make the span display correctly. :) Actually, setting the text-align: left attribute to the span does nothing.
