    Have a linked image arrive--centered.

    I'm a newbie, so please forgive the naive request here--but I haven't
    been able to figure this out...Isn't there a way in CSS, to have a
    plain-old medium-sized (say, 2- or 300-pixels square) image that you
    set a link to, when it appears in new window, to be already centered
    on page? I have no trouble getting a pic to appear, but they're always
    in the upper-left corner, and I can't figure out what tag or
    declaration or correct sequence to use to change this to CENTER.

    Thanks in advance.

      You can only centre an image if it is in document.

          Use Opera instead. It centres stand alone images.

              Much thanks to David and Steve for the concise, helpful answers! I was
              assuming that there was/is a simple, straightforward method to achieve
              the linked-image-autocentered effect, but now that you've told me it's
              just another oddball 'hole' in CSS capabilities I feel not-as-dense.

              Thanks for your time and attention to detail!

                  It's not a hole in CSS.

                  You apply CSS to every HTML document by associating a stylesheet to it
                  (via <link> or <style> or style="").
                  You then link to a JPG (for example) file. The browser loads that file
                  into the window in place of the HTML page. Obviously there's no
                  stylesheet associated with the JPG file.

                  You might as well ask how to apply CSS to an HTML page without
                  including any actual CSS code.

                  If you want to apply CSS to how the image is displayed then follow
                  David's advice and place the image in a web page.
