Ok, I changed it to
MainBody{
align:center;
width:800px;
}
Opened it in the HTML like so
<body>
<div id="MainBody">
</div>
</body>
The only item that appears to be affected is the header DIV which moved over
to the right , but isn't limited to 800px. I am calling multiple <DIV> tags
within the <div id="MainBody">. They are all sized by percentage, they are
also using absolute positioning, could one they be the problem?
