There are several different ways to center elements with CSS. When you are centering a layout, you generally want to have a ID or class that contains the instructions to center, such as a wrapper.
There is a standard way to center items, that works in most browsers.
Now although this will work in most browsers there is of course one “problem child” that does not always display this as center. If you said Internet Explorer, IE you are correct. Lucky for us there is an easy workaround that centers even in IE.

Exercise 8 | Menu Makeover
In this exercise we will explore the flexibly of CSS in formatting, typography and design. We have a menu written in HTML that contains several different tags including IDs, Classes and traditional HTML elements. The menu is rather plain, because it does not have a style sheet.
Instructions:
Your job is to recreate the menu, by recreating the style sheet. The only condition is that you cannot change anything on the menu itself, only the style sheet. To give you a little bit more direction, you may be given an image that should inspire your design. The style sheet is called menustyle.css
You will have 1 hour to create your style sheet and we will be presenting our designs to the class. You are encouraged to chat with classmates for inspiration and ideas, but of course will do your own work.
Not sure where to start?
Check out the links below, or chat with classmates to share ideas.
