If someone could just let me know it if it's centered, that'd be great. It is on 2 of my computers and isn't on one. Thanks.

NVM, Reviewing your code.... With absolute positioning your site will never be center to all screen resolutions. Unless someone pulls out some crazy technique I'm unaware of, waiting.... haha

What needs to be done to center it? I made it in Dreamweaver if that matters. I thought putting a center align div before the body would correct it but it did not. I must be doing something so simple incorrectly. Any help would be great. Thanks again.

Well thanks for sharing you use dreamweaver. I figured you used something to create it because the css is not labled with anything meaningful. OK, so I'm guessing you don't have much knowledge of css considering your using dreamweaver? This is why I recommend to people not to use dreamweaver if they actually care about creating multiple decent quality websites in their lifetime, especially if they want to get into the field.

You need to understand how the positioning element before you start trying to do anything. When you assign 'Absolute Positioning' you make it so no other code applys related to it's positioning.

I have a link that will help you understand better than I can in a few paragraphs. Follow this tutorial:
http://www.elated.com/articles/css-positioning/

If you aren't interested in doing much reading and plenty more coding. For a quick fix you need to pick a screen resolution to make it look centered.
36% of the people online use 1024x768.
57% use a higher screen resolution.
I personally use 1280x800.
These are the statistics right off of:
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp

Hope this helped you.
