help getting default them to center

I set a fixed width for the default theme ( 800px ) and it seems to look good that way... but the page is aligned to the left. In theme.html i tried setting align=center in body, i also made a new table just under the body element that has align=center. the new table i added should be the container for all the other tables on the site and so everything should be centered, but its not working... how do i get the page to center?

Looking at the page source I can't find anything that would be aligning the page to the left unless there is something in the style sheets. I did delete the contents of the template_c directory each time i edited theme.html. i tried making a div container just under as well, nothing works, it's driving me nuts!

Just after the tag, add

Just before the tag, add

In style.css, add #wrap {width:770px; margin:auto;}

This will give you a centered 770px fixed-width layout.

HTH.

thank you for your reply, but I just found a fix.

this also works:

in the body css element:

margin-left: auto
margin-right: auto

If you think there might be problem using that method, let me know and I'll do it the way you suggested
