Re: margin in css
As long as the div you're attempting to center has a static width, IE6+ shouldn't have a problem with auto.

Perhaps if you provided a URL, or code snippets, we'd be able to better help you.

Re: margin in css
Interesting, so was IE6 in quirks then? Out of curiosity, what was your previous (problematic) doctype?

Re: margin in css
To center a page you should use this CSS

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. #header {
  2.         margin: 0 auto;
  3. }
  4. #wrapper {
  5.        margin: 0 auto;
  6. }
  7. #footer {
  8.        margin: 0 auto;
  9. }

This >>> margin: 0 auto; <<< Will center whatever CCS section its in. If you want something to move left or right then you replace this with the
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. float: left;
or
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. float: right;
elements.

Hope this helps.

I am a Web Developer and all the developers I know use this software. Its Open Source (Free) and shows you bugs in all Internet Explorer from IE5, 6, 7 & 8

Its called IETester and you can download it from here >>> IETester

Re: margin in css
Right click on your websites homepage or where ever the problem lies and then select View Source then go right to the top and copy the code Doctype Decleration here.

That way we can see if its got a mis type or something.
