You need to have margin-left and margin-right to be auto something like this:
#container {
width: 960px;
background-color: silver;
}
#contained {
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: gray;
}
Your HTML might look like this:
<div id="container">
<div id="contained">Contained</div>
</div>
If this doesn't help then please post a link to your page for us to have a look
at the source code.
Good luck.
