[Web4lib] HTML question

[Rick Mason]

Nope, it is not basic; don't feel dumb.  Figuring that out was a bit of 
a headache for me when I first encountered it.

The following, although based on CSS, passes the HTML 4.04 strict and 
transitional validation at http://validator.w3.org/ :

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="alt text" src="imagefile.png">
</div>

Hope this helps!
