Menu
I want to "centerize" the text and contents of my webpage. Now I don't want to align the text to center, I still want a left alignment but I want significant margins on the left and right so that everything looks relatively center-ish. Can you show me the HTML/CSS to achieve this? THanks.

How To Center Your Website. Use a container element and set a specific max-width . A common width many websites use is 960px. To actually center the page, add margin: auto .
Press Alt + Spacebar keys together, then select Move from the menu that appears. Now tap the left/right or up/down arrow keys to move the browser to whichever position you like.
To center text in CSS, use the text-align property and define it with the value 'center. ' You can use this technique inside block elements, such as divs. You can also center text in HTML, which is useful if you only want to center individual elements on the page on a case-by-case basis.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
text-align: center; /* Center in IE */
}
#content {
text-align: left; /* reset text-align for IE */
margin: 0 auto; /* Center in other browsers */
width: 800px;
}
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; /* Force vertical scrollbar in FF */
}
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
content here
</div>
</body>
</html>
*UPDATE: I added some CSS that forces a vertical scrollbar in FF as per some comments below.

Create 3 columns on your page. All your text goes in the center column and can be left alligned.
