    margin: 0 auto;
    }
.top div#quote p {
    color: #f2572a;
    height: 3.5em;
    font-size: 1.5em;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;        
    }
.top div#quote a {
    font-size: 1.1em;
    }
.top div#quote p:hover {
    color: #ed3419;
    }    
.arrow {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    border: 1px solid #000;
    position: relative;
    }

There are 2 problems here: the first one is that the “Request a quote div” is larger than the 3.2em defined in the css and the second one is that if I delete the text-aling: center in .top styling the image underneath the quote div will not stay centered. I have tried to position relative the .arrow div and position absolute the img icon, but it does not work as the div disappears completely. Any other ideas?

    Since the .arrow element has a default width of 100%, setting margin: 0 auto has no effect horizontally. And since img is an inline element, it won’t work on that either. You need to either set an explicit width on the .arrow element, or set display: block and margin: 0 auto on the img element.
