Now that the <body> element has been styled, all content will be centered on the page. This can be overcome by setting the container to text-align: left. For browsers that support auto margins, the correct centering method is then applied: margin: 0 auto. The container can be set to a width of 700px. This width can be changed to suit your needs. Finally, the container must be set with a white background using background: #fff as shown in Listing 18.4. The results can be seen in Figure 18.2. Listing 18.4. CSS Code for Styling the Containerbody { margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; background: #B0BFC2; color: #444; } #container { text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; width: 700px; background: #FFF; } Figure 18.2.
