Hello charisma44,
Your <div align="center"> 's and <center> are not helping you as that is deprecated code and should not be used.

Also, in your CSS, you float that menu left.

Try this approach instead:
To center an element you need three things:
  1. a valid DocType
  2. an element with a width
  3. that elements right/left margins set to auto


Something like this -
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

	margin: 0;
