Question

Answer 1

A:

How about using text-align: center?:

#content 
{
font-family: Helvetica, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
font-color: black;
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
}

still doesn't do anything for it.. its almost like the second css box isn't applying (at least in Safari in which I am viewing it). Even the black text is displaying in white..

That's suspicious. For sure you should be able to set the font color. Have you checked for typos, particularly in the ID name and css selector? You might try to get the css to work inline first, just to make it easier to track down the problem.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Well for starters, your missing your HTML tags. You need to wrap your HTML code between HTML Tags.

Second, you will need to set your text to a different color as the background color. In your CSS, you will need to change the #horizon color to black, or something else.

Other than that, your code works.

+1 A:

try

#content 
{
    margin: auto;
    width: 200px; /* however wide it should be (required) */
}

...
<div id="content">
    stuff goes here from js / whatever
</div>

for vertical alignment you are looking at JS and not CSS.
