They all appear left aligned. I've tried setting the body tag to text-align:center, making divs around and in the main panel, but I can't get it to work. Any ideas?

Here is my CSS code:

.MainPanel {
    background-color:#ccccff;
    margin-bottom:10px;
    margin-top:10px;
}

.MainPanel  div {
    margin-bottom:10px;
    margin-top:10px;
}

.panelSpace {
    margin-bottom:25px;
    margin-top:25px;
}

.buttonWidth { clear: both; }

.buttonWidth  div {
    width:17%;
    float:left;
    margin-left:20px;
}

.centerDiv {
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}

And here's my html:

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div style="height:100px; text-align:center;"><uc1:Header ID="Header1" runat="server" /></div><br /><br />

        <div>
            <div><asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblErrorMessage" CssClass="lblErrorMessage" /></div>
            <asp:Panel ID="Panel0" runat="server" BackColor="#9999CC" BorderColor="DarkBlue" BorderWidth="2px">
            <div class="centerDiv">
                <div>
                    <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" CssClass="MainPanel" Width="550" BorderColor="DarkBlue" BorderWidth="2px" >
                    <div>Customer:&nbsp;<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCustomerList" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlCustomerList_SelectedIndexChanged" /></div>
                    </asp:Panel>
                </div>

                <span class="panelSpace" />

                <asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server" CssClass="MainPanel" Width="700" BorderColor="DarkBlue" BorderWidth="2px" style="overflow:auto;" >

Set the width of the panels not in the ASP.NET code, but in the CSS declaration, e.g.

.MainPanel {
    background-color:#ccccff;
    margin-bottom:10px;
    margin-top:10px;
    width: 700px; 
}

If you do not want to set the style for all panels, but for each panel, then do something like:

<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" CssClass="MainPanel" style="width:550px" BorderColor="DarkBlue" BorderWidth="2px" >

Well the thing is, all of the panels are different widths. Unless there is an attribute to make the width fit the content inside... I'm kind of new to CSS
