CSS layout box model?

Question

Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver cs4. I downloaded a diablo 3
fansite kit from blizzard, and was looking at their code &
style sheets and such for reference while learning to use DIV to
layout new websites. I pretty much have the same DIV box going for
all the content in the middle. But when i click on their DIV box,
it shows margin on the left and the right, and while in design
view, automatically centers their DIV box.
I created a page, setup a div box 1000px wide, centered it,
and it does not give me a preview of it centered while in design
view, nor does it show me the margins & padding (displays
diagonal white transparant stripes where the padding & margins
goes). i made sure i clicked the "CSS Layout Box Model" in the
visual aid menu, but it does not want to work on my page, yet i can
turn it on and off on the fan site index page. How do i make it
work on my page?
Thx
