Why doesn't it work?

Question

Why does the "align" attribute work for most/all html elements, but not the "img" element?

Answer 1

It would be a good idea to post your code snippet for other learners to inspect your code. As far as I am concerned, the align attribute works well with img.

Answer 2

Because "img" is an inline element bro, not a block level element, and therefore positional attributes do not apply. You would have to put the img into a block level container (such as div) and align the block. Cheers.
