You need to learn about CSS specificity. For example, if you have two rules like this:

Code: Select all

#wrapper { text-align: center }
html, body { text-align: left }

...then all the text within #wrapper will be aligned to the centre. The "#" ID has greater specificity, so that rule takes precedence.
