How can I center two images side by side in HTML and CSS?

Centering Images Horizontally Side by Side

As you're attempting to center two images side by side but encountering issues with them displaying one below the other, let's delve into a solution:

The provided CSS code appears to be targeting both images using the same ID (#fblogo). However, to center them horizontally and align them next to each other, we need to apply different CSS properties:

1. Style both images with a class: Instead of using an ID, assign both images the same class, e.g., .fblogo. This will allow us to target them individually.
2. Inline-block display: Change display: block; to display: inline-block; for .fblogo. This displays the images as inline elements, allowing them to flow horizontally.
3. Automatic margins: Set margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; for .fblogo. This centers the images in their container.
4. Wrap in a container: Wrap your images in a container, such as a div, with an ID like #images.
5. Align the container: Add text-align: center; to #images. This centers the images within the container.

Here's the updated CSS and HTML:

CSS

.fblogo {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    height: 30px; 
}

#images{
    text-align:center;
}

HTML

<div id="images">
    <a href="mailto:[email&#160;protected]">
    <img class="fblogo" border="0" alt="Mail" src="http://olympiahaacht.be/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/email-icon-e1343123697991.jpg">
