Hello imran.rajani,

I don't know that this is a site review. Seems like you might get more help if this were in the beginners forum.
To center an element you need three things:

  1. a DocType Declaration

  2. an element with a width

  3. that elements left and right margins set to auto

See this link to help you with your DocType.
