Why sometimes text-align doesn't work?

Question

Hi, I was coding a website today and I have a problem: When I give an id to a paragraph or a heading, and in CSS type text-align:center, it doesn't work.

Answer 1

You can't center a div with that instruction but you can center a paragraph inside the div by using text-align.

If you could share your code it would be easier to help you. :)

Answer 2

text-align only work on block element, it would not work if the elements set to inline.

Answer 3

It depends on code. May be there inline styles can be Overriding it...
