Reset to default 3The main problem is that you have defined 98% width without box-sizing: border-box; so padding was pushing content outside of visible area. You have to adjust #main div to:
#main
{
/* left:-.3%;
margin-right:2%; */
width:100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle/3je1bk67/3/
to allign search bar in the middle you just have to add this
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
Hope it helps
If you want to make your elements centred using margin-right and margin-left try this:
/* just change the element tag you want to center */
p{
margin-left:10%;
margin-right:10%;
}
That will make all your <p> elements centred, and you can apply it to any element.
Take a look at this Demo.
This answer will help you: How to horizontally center a <div> in another <div>?
Also you have a typo in your code: <div id=""main> instead of <div id="main">.
Jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle/3je1bk67/6/
you can resize the browser to see the effect
#main
{
margin:30px 0px 0px 0px;
}
