That's because the paragraph is a block-level element. You can successfully assign any text-align value to a paragraph and see the text inside it shift accordingly. What you can't do is apply text-align to an inline-level element such as an anchor and see any effect -- unless you force the anchor to be block-level. Clear as mud?
