Inside a div I want a full width background color and center the content inside. I have read in some other posts that it needs an outer div to set the background-color there, and then an inner div with the width of my content and margin:0 auto;. I tried that but it doesn't work. I tried floating my content left and this didn't work either.
Here is my code. The problem is in the div class="themeDesign" where i put the background color. In the div class="themeDesignicons" when i put width:1000px the one of the li elements extends onto the next line, but with width:1300px they appear on the same line without centering. Why? Does it matter first-child? I cant go on. Thanks in advance
