set page to center; margin on left too big

[mistersmith]

hi,

 

i set my page to center using the 'margin:auto, o command along with text center', and it does. unfortunately, the margin on the left is extremely wide compared to the right. when you shrink the window, the page shrinks, but it takes a while before the left margin starts shrinking. (hopefully i am explaining this correctly.)

 

can't do anything about it however since it's set to auto. any suggestions?

I can't walk! What do you think the problem is? My brain (CSS) or my legs (HTML)...

 

Well I don't know sir, I can only see your brain.
