[candseeme]

Whenever i try to validate my page as XMHTL1.1
i got the error
<center> is not a supported tag in xhtml 1.1
thanks

to center the text, it is :

align="center"

And if you want to centre an element such as a div, then it should be done using css styling margin: 0 auto; that code assigns zero top and bottom margins and auto width side margins.

to center the text, it is :

align="center"No it's not. In XHTML 1.1, XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4.01 you need to use CSS for that, either the margin set to "auto" or the text-align set to "center".

margin: 0 auto;
Sets the element centered.
text-align:center;
Sets the text inside the element to centered.

Can't you just use the <div> and/or <span> tags with the "align" attribute?

In XHTML 1.1, no. And not in XHTML 1.0 Strict or HTML 4.01 Strict either. The align attribute was removed from these definitions.

Centering is part of the appearance of the page NOT part of the content. Only the page content belongs in the (X)HTML, the appearance is defined by the stylesheet therefore you should use CSS to center things which is why those tags/attributes were removed from the (X)HTML definitions.
