Why can't i align the text to the center?

i am trying to align a text to the center using this command: <html> <head><title>page name</title></head> <body> <p align="center"> <h1>Welcome To The Page!</h1> </p> </body> But it doesn't work, i tried removing the header tags and it worked, my question is can i align the text to the center while using the header tags?

<p> <h1 align='center'></h1> </p> If you have the p tags alingned to the center it will not work header tag is still aligned to the left

Ali Muhammed Please don't use align attribute on html tags, it's obsolete HTML center element. It might not work on new browsers soon. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/center Use text-align: center css instead.

He probably doesn't know css yet so until he learns it it's a good practice to use attributes

Andrei I yet showing to use obsolete attribute is not encouraging, it would mislead other users, especially new user like Ali Muhammed
