I wouldn't use the center tag. It was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not
supported in XHTML 1.0. Definitely go the CSS approach. It's a little
tougher to wrap you head around at first, but it makes it MUCH better to
deal with later.

Here's a way to do it:

<form action="accepted.html">
<input type="button" value="Thing One" onclick="self.close()"></input>
<input type="button" value="Thing Two" name="B2"></input>
</form>
</center>

You can use the center tag to center your buttons. No need for CSS
unless you really want to use it.

If you want the second button to do something, like take you to

another

page, you should put it inside a form. The action of the form says

which

page to open (or server-side script to run) when the user clicks the
button.

If you want to know more, check out the W3Schools tutorials on HTML

and

CSS. They are great references to get started:

All I want to do is put 2 buttons on the bottom of an html page and

have

them centered, and also have them do the action that I request. After
hours
of reading and goggling I found that using absolute positioning was

the

way
to go. But I cannot get that to work. I tried putting the buttons

inside

of
a form, and then outside of a form. Here is the current version, with

no

positioning specified, outside of a form.

<p>
<input type="button" value="CANCEL REGISTRATION AND RETURN" name="B1"
onsubmit=window.close()> (does not close the window)
<input type="button" value="I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE TERMS AND

CONDITIONS

-
SUBMIT" name="B2"></p>

I would like to have some of my natural color left in my hair before I
turn
50 next month. Please help.

BTW, if you want your button to play music, spin and dance, you can

find

tons of help out there.

Thanks,

Tom Deskevich
