So I have this template design that is currently absolutely positioned, but I'm trying to make it centered in any widescreen browser. I've tried making the width auto on the left and right side in my container, but it is still aligned with the left side.


Css

  .JosephSettin_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:0px;
   top:0px;
   width:216px; 
   height:40px;
   background: url("JosephSettin.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .home_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:472px;
   top:16px;
   width:48px; 
   height:16px;
  }
  .discography_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:528px;
   top:16px;
   width:80px; 
   height:24px;
  }
  .purchase_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:608px;
   top:16px;
   width:88px; 
   height:24px;
  }
  .about_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:696px;
   top:16px;
   width:48px; 
   height:24px;
  }
  .contact_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:744px;
   top:16px;
   width:56px; 
   height:24px;
  }
  .main__pic_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:0px;
   top:56px;
   width:264px; 
   height:264px;
   background: url("main_pic.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .footer__lines_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:0px;
   top:512px;
   width:800px; 
   height:24px;
   background: url("footer_lines.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .info__heading_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:32px;
   top:360px;
   width:216px; 
   height:32px;
   background: url("info_heading.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .info__pic3_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:265px;
   top:360px;
   width:159px; 
   height:112px;
   background: url("info_pic3.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .info__pic2_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:432px;
   top:360px;
   width:176px; 
   height:112px;
   background: url("info_pic2.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .info__pic1_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:616px;
   top:360px;
   width:177px; 
   height:112px;
   background: url("info_pic1.png") no-repeat;
  }
  .info__pane_png
  {
   position: absolute;
   left:0px;
   top:345px;
   width:800px; 
   height:144px;
   background: url("info_pane.png") no-repeat;
  }
  body
  {
   text-align: center;
   background-color:maroon;
  }
  #wrapper {
            width: 800px;
            margin-left: auto;
   margin-right: auto;
            text-align: left;
  }
  #a {
   text-decoration: none;
   color:white;
   font-weight:bold;
  }
 .style1 {
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #FFFFFF;
 }

html

    <body>
  <center>
  <div id="wrapper">
    <div class="JosephSettin_png"> </div>
    <div class="home_png"> <a href="home.html" style="color:yellow">Home</a></div>
    <div class="discography_png"> <a href="discography.html">Discography</a></div>
    <div class="purchase_png"><a href="store.html"><span class="style1">Store</span></a></div>
    <div class="about_png"><a href="about.html">About</a></div>
    <div class="contact_png"><a href="contact.html"><span class="style1"></span>Contact</a></div>
    <div class="ad_png"> </div>
    <div class="main__pic_png"> </div>
    <div class="welcome__header_png"> </div>
    <div class="welcome__text_png"> </div>
    <div class="footer__lines_png"> </div>
    <div class="footer__text_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__pane_png"></div>
    <div class="info__heading_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__text_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__pic3_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__pic2_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__pic1_png"> </div>
    <div class="info__pic3_png"> </div>
  </div>
  </center>
  </body>

I know the container I create works if all my div classes aren't absolutely positioned. Do I have to change the position or did I make another error?
