when you want to align a class selected(to center, right or left) which property does work the best?

I'm wondering whixh is the best way to center align a tag or a class selected. I do already now the property text-align this work for h1, h2 etc.

But what about when you're dealing with img, or a div element, or a #class selected.

thank you very much ;)

the easiest solution is to use the margin property
