Can't seem to get things centered...

Your navigation is wider than your page which I think is causing you some grief.

/**zero out default browser settings on everything**/

* {margin:0; padding:0; border:0; line-height:100%;}

body {

width: 900px; /**use pixels, ems or percents**/

margin:0 auto; /**centers page on screen**/

text-align: center; /**centers in older browsers**/

background: #000;

}

Can't seem to get things centered...

Thanks Nancy,

I need a little clarification:

to ''zero out the default'' just add;

margin:0;

padding:0;

border:0;

line-height:100%;

to''all'' the styles. (#header_container, #header, #navbar, etc...)

and if I already have that paticular setting, replace it with the ones you suggested?

Don't I have ''pixels'' set on the width in the body? Or do i just have it wrong?

Thank you very much for your help!!!

I'm not seeing your web page in my browser because FF doesn't render DWT files.?If you were to publish the page as an HTML file, I'd be able to see it and use my Web Developer Toolbar to examine your external CSS.

The code I gave you uses the universal selector?(* asterisk) which = every element in the document. Just copy %26amp; paste my code as is into your CSS file - replacing your body definitions.
