I wrote a really simple page that I've tested it on Mozilla 1.4, Opera 7.23, Firebird 0.7, and IE 6 all on Windows 2000. It works just fine in everything except IE. In IE the column is all the way to the left. I found a page that does what I want without tables and works in IE (http://www.pfundernewmedia.com/shawn/), so I looked at the CSS, but I can't see what they're doing differently. In the CSS comments (http://www.pfundernewmedia.com/shawn/styles-site.css) there's a mention of a CSS hack, but I can't figure out what's going on. I also tried doing what this site suggested (http://www.quirksmode.org/css/centering.html), but I'm really trying to avoid using a table. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tested in Win2000/IE6 and WinXP/IE6 - displays properly in both. Have
you double-checked that the CSS has been refreshed with your latest
changes? Try adding something obvious to your stylesheet and see if it
shows up as expected.
Hope that helps,
Gary
