 * I cannot figure out how to center my dropdown menu, ul#top-menu { float: center;}–
   does not work. It will either go left or right, how do I just get it center?

 * There is no such thing as float:center… you’d have to assign margins/padding 
   to your menu to get it center. Try margin:auto (doesn’t work in IE8 though). 
   Your best bet would be to assign margin-left and margin-right and not to auto
   because it won’t work in internet explorer unless a doctype is declared.
