How do I align submit button using CSS?

Can anybody tell me the proper way to center align a submit button?

I am trying to limit the use of tables on my web site. I have got a submit button that is not inside a table. The We Schools web site says that the use of [B]align=”center” [/B] using the <p> tag is deprecated and to use styles instead.

[url]http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_p.asp[/url]

The style sheet has a command “align-text: center” that can be assigned to a style for use with a <p> tag. But the command indicates to align [I]text[/I]. A submit button is not text.

I would appreciate any information.

Thanks.

@ray326Jun 01.2007 — text-align applies to all inline elements, not just text. Shoot, IE even incorrectly applies it to block elements but l digress. Since inputs are inline it will work although Tim is correct in stating it probably is incorrect putting an input into a paragraph. Use a div instead.
