I am having the most Horrible Time. I have a page that I cannot figure out how to center. It looks great on a standard monitor, But on a widescreen monitor it looks retarded as it is all the way off to the left hand side of the page. I have tried a hundred tricks and cannot get the page to center over the background. Someone PLEASE help me figure this out. I am going crazy. I will post whatever code is asked for. HTML, The CSS, you name it. I just need help.
