I am creating a website that scrolls down to different divs by the use of anchors. However, when I click on a link, that anchored div is not centered on the page. I positioned my divs absolutely but I have no idea if that is affecting it? Anyone have any clue how to get the divs centered using anchors? Please help!

#navigation A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
#navigation A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
#navigation A:active {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;}
#navigation A:hover {text-decoration: none; color: #CC9;}

#navigation {
    position: fixed;
    top: -1px;
    left: -1px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 20px;
    padding: 10px;
    z-index: 10;

    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    background-color: #000;
    color: #FFF;
}

#logo {
    position: fixed;
    top: 150px;
    left: 50px;
}

#jeanandjames {
    position: absolute;
    top: 230px;
    left: 200px;

    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
}

#feature {
    position: absolute;
    top: 600px;
    left: 200px;
}

#contact {
    position: absolute;
    top: 1200px;
    left: 200px;
    width: 500px;

    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
