Site will not center in Explorer but does in Firefox

Hi,

I just made this site <http://www.theartisticreation.com>

It looks perfect (to me) in firefox, but in explorer it does not site relative center in the window?

Can anyone help me figure this out?

I have everything inside a container div which is styled like this

#container {
position:relative;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
width:1024px;
height:800px;
background-color:#000000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 12px;
}

For Explorer you need to set text to centre as well, then set it back when inside the container. I think it's just some versions of Explorer don't do auto-margins properly.

You only need that for IE6 or earlier, though. And you can do that best
with conditional comments.
