Element "align" is obsolete or non-standard: what should I use instead?

Question

I have this HTML code:

<td align="center"> 

and I'm getting this error in Visual Studio 2008 from ReSharper:

"Element 'align' is obsolete or nonstandard"

What is the replacement of this code to make it standard?

Answer 1

You should use text-align in CSS rather than using the obsolete html styling attributes.

td{ text-align:center; } 

Answer 2

That would be something like:

<td style="text-align: center;"> 

But it would be even better to move that style out of the html and put it in a separate style-sheet.
