I have a relatively straightforward HTML layout with a heading div at the top, followed by a Main div that contains a NavBar on the left side and a ContentDiv on the right.
The issue I'm facing is that I can't seem to get my NavBar and ContentDiv to display in the center horizontally; they always align to the left (with the NavBar starting at x position zero).
Do you have any insight into why the NavBar and ContentDiv are positioned to the left instead of being centered?
