Use CSS to Center Page

[Dashsa]

Hello I have made a site at:

http://www.island-playground.com/

But now want the site to be centered I have tried this at:

http://www.island-playground.com/Testindex.html

The issue I am having is in the style sheet located at :

http://www.island-playground.com/Teststyle.css

I have changed some of the divs to be " reletive" instead of " absolute" and then had to change their top attribute to be like "-1500px" Is this Normal?
The site now also has a long scroll bar and a wide scroll bar.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

here's how i always center a box on the page:

<div id="wrapper" style="width: 500px; margin: 0 auto; height: 200px;">

...content coeth here...

</div>

Width must be set and the "margin: 0 auto;" makes it centered.

Thanks for the help,
I am still not getting rid of the scroll bars on the side and bottom of the screen.
The Divs position are still very weired - top:-1500px;
I think this the reason that I am getting the scroll bars.
Any help to fix the scroll bars would be great!
thanks
