 * I am unable to get the google search box at the bottom of my page [http://www.hotrodhomepage.com](http://www.hotrodhomepage.com)
   to center. The box is located in the footer of my template.
 * This is the css that I am using:
 * #footer google_search {
    display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}

 * Also I seem to be having an issue with the horizontal scroll bar. I acts as if
   the content of my page is much wider then anything that is displayed.
 * I am using firefox on windows XP. This issue does not show up on safari under
   osX.
 * Thanks in advance for the help.

 * In Firefox, use the web developer toolbar (get it if you have not yet got it)
   and see outline block level elements.

 * How about this:
 * `#google_search table{
    margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
 * The web developer toolbar came in handy for that 🙂

 * Please try and remember that we’re all volunteers here and that what you’ve posted
   is a CSS query in a WP support forum.
 * Try adding the following to the bottom of your css file.
    `#footer #google_search{
   margin:0 auto; width:500px; }

 * ifelse thanks, I was missing the # in front of google_search. Syntax errors are
   a pain.
 * Works now.
 * Thanks to everyone that helped out.
