On top of all the other explanations  I believe you re using equal     sign  instead of colon        lt span style  border 1px solid red text-align center  gt    It should be    lt span style  border 1px solid red text-align center  gt

A div is a block element  and will span the width of the container unless a width is set  A span is an inline element  and will have the width of the text inside it  Currently  you are trying to set align as a CSS property  Align is an attribute    lt span align  center  style  border 1px solid red   gt      This is some text in a div element   lt  span gt    However  the align attribute is deprecated  You should use the CSS text-align property on the container    lt div style  text-align  center   gt       lt span style  border 1px solid red   gt          This is some text in a div element       lt  span gt   lt  div gt

Span is inline-block and adjusts to inline text size  with a tenacity that blocks most efforts to style out of inline context  To simplify layout style  limit conflicts   add div to  p  tag with line break    lt p gt  some default stuff  lt br gt   lt div style  text-align  center   gt  your entered stuff  lt  div gt

The align attribute is deprecated  Use CSS text-align instead  Also  the span will not center the text unless you use display block or display inline-block and set a value for the width  but then it will behave the same as a div  block element    Can you post an example of your layout  Use www jsfiddle net
