Problem: Floating Elements Not Centering

Invalid4564 has been trying to get their floating elements to center, but it's not working. They've specified widths for each element, but the container (body) doesn't have a width defined, so it spans the entire browser viewport.

Solution: Define Container Width

Vragabond points out that the three main areas with floats need to be in another container and its width needs to be defined. This will prevent the elements from stacking when the viewport is resized.

Additionally, there's no such value as 'center' for the float property. It's ignored.

Example Solution:

```css .container { width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; }

header, #navigation, #links {

float: left; } ```

This will create a container with a defined width and center it horizontally. The three main areas can then be floated within this container.

Thanks!
