I don't know how valid it is for xhtml, but I was trying to do this and only
managed it by enclosing the img tag within a p tag, and using

text-align:center;

on the p with a stylesheet.

HTH

ps. I would be interested in finding a better way.

That's what I did. The html looked thus:

<p class="aligncenter"><img src="...." alt="...."></p>

And the css looked like this:

..aligncenter {text-align:center;}

The combination centered the image at the top of the page.

Merlin
you should just be able to put <p align="middle"><img src="whatever"></p>
and the paragraph will align anything within it to the center. i don't know
though, i don't know xhtml.

there I go shooting off my mouth too soon again. center is not an option.
the others are. Use a P tag. <p align=center></p>
but be warned that the align attribute is deprecated. I really wish w3c
would leave us with something to replace these with.
