I am wrestling to place my content within a wrapper and then center the whole thing.

I have tried and tried to use

wrapper {margin:0 auto; width: XXpx;}

this isnt yielding any results. Please help

You need a sharp mark in front of the wrapper:

#wrapper

Then call that with <div id="wrapper"></div>

Also, you must have a valid doctype on your page or else this will not work in IE 6 (don't know about IE 7)

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

This one should work.
