The div is centered, but it has 100% width, and its content is still
left-aligned: Both of these are the defaults, since you have not
specified width or alignment. Unlike tables, divs do not "shrink wrap"
(except in some circumstances when positioned).
So, either give the div a width less than 100%, or use
text-align:center, or both, depending on what other content you will
be adding to it.
