div #wrapper { width: 960px; /* sets the width of the div to 960px / margin: 0 auto; / adds equal margins on the left and right of the div element to center */ }

5,601 PointsMake sure you're applying a
width
to your div. If you do have awidth
set, then make sure you're applying amargin: auto
declaration to center the div.Remember that the
margin:auto
declaration will not work unless awidth
is set.
