I would like to center my floated menu(ul tag)in my page and can't figure out what's wrong with my css. Please help. Thanks.
My html
<section>
<div id='index'><img src='images/index_pic.png' title='index Picture'/></div>
<nav>
<ul> ////I want to center this menu, but the 3 buttons all float to left.
<li id=browser ><a href=#></a></li>
<li id=user_management><a href=#></a></li>
<li id=log_out><a href=#> </a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</section>
and my css
section {
color: blue;
margin: 0 auto;
color:blue;
width:980px;
height:700px;
}
ul{
list-style:none;
}
#browser a{
color:red;
width:270px;
height:32px;
display:inline-block;
float:left;
background-image:url('../images/browser_BT.jpg');
}
#user_management a{
color:red;
width:270px;
height:32px;
display:inline-block;
float:left;
background-image:url("../images/user_management_BT.jpg");
}
#log_out a{
color:red;
width:270px;
height:32px;
display:inline-block;
float:left;
background-image:url('../images/log_out_BT.jpg');
}
section #index img{
padding:3px;
border:1px solid #a6a6a6;
}
Try this:
ul {
list-style: none;
width: 810px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

There is nothing wrong with your code. You need to double-check the path - that's where the issue is. If you share your folder structure, maybe we could help point out the error.

If I put width:960px; for the wrapper, it will cut the margin on both sides. I need to avoid using text-align:center; for nav ul because of what happens when the window is resized. When the window is shrunk, lists should be center aligned; in window of normal size, lists should be displayed in the left side of the navigation bar.

You could use CSS3 #media queries for small screen sizes.

I've spent the past two days troubleshooting this problem for my portfolio website, and have yet to find a solution.
The basic structure of the page is a header, a wrapper for content (nav bar and content divs), and the footer. The problem is that the footer is cutting through the middle of the wrapper div, making the content run around and below the footer. I would post a screenshot, but I don't have enough reputation.
It looks like the div containing the résumé info is the only one causing the problem, whereas the footer is only corresponding to the nav bar.
Code is below.
Additional info:
When I tried setting the footer's position to fixed, it disappears completely from the page. I also tried removing the .wrapper div and just using the content divs. I also tried changing the positions of the divs to absolute and relative.

Also, if you have suggestions for making this a better question, or for better code, please let me know. Thank you for any help.
Okay, so I have a few suggestions. You can go look at the updated jsFiddle, here:
http://jsfiddle.net/tf4cq/1/
Basically, there isn't any good reason to have .content positioned absolutely. You floated the sidebar (your nav menu), so to make sure the content lines up correctly on the left side, just add a left-padding value equal to or greater than the width of the sidebar.
The reason your footer doesn't wind up where you thought it should is that the two elements above it (the nav bar and the content) are both taken out of the normal document flow as soon as you apply either float or position: absolute (or fixed, for that matter).
Basically, you just need to update your CSS file a bit:

What I (stupidly) realized was that the DOCTYPE says html5, when html is the correct declaration. #TiesonT. thank you for helping. Changing the DOCTYPE solved the problem.
Nested list navigation is not displaying the second list as I'd expect (block listed down vertically). Instead all items are placed directly on top of one another.
http://jsfiddle.net/HL69H/3/
<div id="linksLeft">
<ul class="menu">
<li class="current">about</li>
<li class="current" id="active">portfolio
<ul class="subMenu" id="subNav">

<li>advertising</li>
<li>packaging</li>
<li>photography</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

text-align:center;
padding-top:6em;
list-style-type:none;

#outerBox {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#linksLeft{
float:left;
border-top:2px solid #93b9bb;
border-bottom:2px solid #93b9bb;
margin-top:60px;
padding:5px 0px;
}
#linksLeft li {
display:inline-block;
padding:0 3em;
position:relative;
}
#linksLeft li ul li {
display:block;
}
#subNav li{
position:absolute;
padding:1em;
left:50%;
/*display:none;*/
}
#linksRight li{
display:inline-block;
padding:0 3em;
position:relative;
}
The position: absolute; was stacking them. Changing this to relative, and use absolute positioning on the parent container to position it where you want it.
#subNav li{
position:relative;
padding:1em;
left:50%;
/*display:none;*/
}
the problem is your css for '#subnav li'. The style you apply you want for the ul but not the li.
CSS
#subNav {
position:absolute;
padding:1em;
left:0;
/*display:none;*/
}
#menu li{
position:relative;
}
That gives you what you want
There is an indent in this file that is causing the element 'scroller' to have a left margin of exactly 30px; . I cannot find what is causing this. It is driving me up the wall.
The problem is somewhere is this file:

<li>Pretty row 2</li>

Can anyone alleviate me of my suffering and find the offending CSS?
In text.css here : http://www.divethegap.com/update/z-css/admin/text.css
You have a margin-left applied to all of your list item:
li {
margin-left: 30px;
}
You must override it when you don't want it or remove it if you don't need it anywhere.
http://jsfiddle.net/Gpu3b/
Search for the /* Fixed in the css box.
Test a simple CSS Reset:
* { margin: 0px; padding: 0px };
Remove margins and apdding off everything.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
The fix to 99% of these problems: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/CSS
You can use * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } as a quick fix, but a CSS reset sheet should be used for production.
