I need my footer to be fixed to the bottom of the page and to center it. The contents of the footer may change at all time so I can't just center it via margin-left: xxpx; margin-right: xxpx;

The problem is that for some reason this doesn't work:

#whatever {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0px;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
}

I crawled the web and found nothing. I tried making a container div and nada. I tried other combinations and gurnisht. How can I make this happen?

Thanks
