centering content in a div?

**warpdesign** · 07:25 PM

I have a main div, it's centerd on the page using

Code:

    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;

and it has a background image in it. I want the content inside of it to be centered in it. I tried doing this by

Code:

padding-right: 15px;
    padding-left: 15px;

I also tried text-align but the content doesn't center:

How can I center the content in the main div?

I deleted a dumb question here. Move on.

In "outer" you have margin left and right defined twice. I don't know if that will fix your problem, though.

*5 minutes later... nope, that didn't work.

Define all of your margins in navigation, columns, and footerTop.
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-top: whatever;
margin-bottom; whatever;
