I thought header{ text-align: center; } works for both inline and inline-block elements. Aside from padding, margin, width, height properties, what other differences do inline and inline-block have?
Thank you in advance!

3,113 Pointsthe major difference is that display: inline-block does not add a line-break after the element, so the element can sit next to other elements.
