Its hard to tell what could be wrong without seeing the code but are you sure that you are not trying to auto centre your div box inside another div that isn't centred?

Have you checked that you have the valid doc type required for this menu?

even when i just have the menu by itself with no code and mess with the css,i can't center it, that's why it is so frustrating for me. i will keep working on it though,thanks!

Once again it is hard to know your problem without seeing your HTML or CSS code.

You could try this:

In your CSS:


body {
text-align: centre;
}


This fixes a problem with some browsers but places all your text in the centre. To solve this:


#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}


and your HTML:


<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
All your content will be placed here...
</div>
</body>
</html>
