Page will center in Firefox but not IE

[capples3]

Hi,

I must be brain dead today as I'm missing something quite simple I'm sure.

I'm working on a development site for a photographer and I can have the page center in Firefox but not IE link is at www.clhdesigns.com/photosense/index.html

here is the CSS code to go with it. I even have the page reset syntax at the very top of the css file

* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}


body {
	background: #333333;
	text-align: left;
	font: 62.5% Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	background: #554629 url(images/bg.png) repeat-x;/*this is the bg colour*/
}

p {
	margin:10px 0;
	color:#fff;
	font-size:1.3em;
}

h1 {
	color:#d7ba6c;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size:2.2em;
}

h2 {
	color:#d7ba6c;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size:1.6em;
}

.imgright {
	float:right;
	margin: 15px 20px 10px 50px;
}

#container {
	width: 920px;
	margin: 0px auto;
	text-align: left;
	background:#333333;
	border:#FFFFFF 1px solid;
}

#header {
	margin:0;
	height:88px;
	width:920px;
	background-image:url(images/header.gif);
}
#nav {
	background-color:#F0E5BC;
	color: #000000;
	border-top: 1px solid #000000;
	font: 1.4em "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;
}

#nav ul {
	list-style-type: none;
	padding: 10px 34px;
}
#nav li {
	display: inline;
	padding: 0 10px;
}
#nav a {
	color: #000000;
	text-decoration: none;
}
#nav a:visited {color: #000000;}
#nav a:hover {color: #654235; background: #eee;}

#content {
	float:left;
	padding: 20px 40px;
	background: #333333;
	border:1px solid #ffffff;
}

As usual I know I'm missing something so very simple I will be ashamed of myself lol

Set width:920px;margin:0 auto; on #container not #wrapper.

But seeing as #container does absoltuely nothing helpful for you just delete <div id="container"> and the </div> to go along with it.

You have a commented out old doctype before the actual page doctype, which drops IE into quirks mode, preventing the centring - get rid of the comment at the top of the page.

*Wow*

I missed that. For IE6+ to be able to understand margin:0 auto you need to be not in quirks mode. For IE5.5- you need to set text-align:center; on the outmost parent element and set text-align:left; for the inner child. (Just in case you are cratering for some IE5.5 users)
