    thanks guys this is what I used from what I found searching around

    <body>
    <div id="container">
    ...entire layout goes here...
    </div>
    </body>

    Using CSS, the following two rules force whatever is contained within #container to be centered:
    body {
    text-align: center;
    }

    #container {
    margin: 0 auto;
    width: xxxpx;
    }

    but its not working out... I guess I'm still doing something wrong lol

    this is the site
    fixandflip.net
    Thanks

    It looks like you have a fixed width page as it's scrolling across the bottom. Try changing from the fixed width to 100%.

    Use
    <div align="center">
Content
</div>
    Code (markup):
    Or use margin in CSS.

    Use margin: 0 auto;

    The "align" attribute is out of date. For example:
    
#pagecell {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 750px;
}
    Code (markup):
    That will center the <div>.
