combining "text-align: center" and "font-size: 22px"

How do I put "font-size: 22px" and "text-align: center" in a
single tag?

If I put both of them in <span>, alignment doesn't work. If I put
"text-align: center" in <div> and the other in <span> fontsize
doesn't work. If they are both in <div>, alignment doesn't work.
In short, I can't have them both work in one tag.

Any solution? Thanks.

Font sizes should not be expressed in pixels as some popular browsers
cannot resize them. Use ems or percentages.

If I put both of them in <span>, alignment doesn't work. If I put
"text-align: center" in <div> and the other in <span> fontsize
doesn't work. If they are both in <div>, alignment doesn't work.

Hmmm, this looks like it might be a heading element that is being badly
cobbled together. Of course, I don't have my crystal ball today, so
without a URL, it's impossible to say.

What you might want is a heading element that you can style accordingly.
I would suggest an external stylesheet, or if you must, the style
element in the head of your document. There is no need to use inline
style for this.

h1 {font-size:140%; text-align:center;}

<a style="font-size: 22px; text-align: center">

It's very bad practice, but that's the answer to the question.

If I put both of them in <span>, alignment doesn't work.

Of course it doesn't, other things being defaulted, but that's a CSS issue.
We're discussing HTML here.

If I put
"text-align: center" in <div> and the other in <span> fontsize
doesn't work.

This too is about CSS, not HTML, but in addition to that, it's nonsense
unless you specify a demo URL and the browser(s) on which that happens. And
of course your HTML syntax could be all wrong, and then all bets are off.

If they are both in <div>, alignment doesn't work.

Surely it does, but the odds are that you expect text-align to have a
meaning that is different from its defined meaning.

In short, I can't have them both work in one tag.

Yes you can. Your problem is something different.

Try <div style="text-align: center; font-size: 22px !important"
