>http://www.evergreen.edu/includes/css/screen.css There are a few things going on here that may be contributing to IE6 not centering the container, but I need to clear up one "FAQ" that has been presented to you. IE6 WILL center containers with auto margins, as long as the document is in standards mode, and not in quirks mode.[1] IE5.x/Win browsers will not center containers using auto margins, and for them, {text-align: center;} must be used. That said... Since your document uses and XML declaration at the beginning, IE6 is running in quirks mode, and will not center using auto margins. Additionally, IE6 does not understand min-width, so since your container (from the screen.css sheet) does not have an acutal width set, there is nothing for IE6 to center, even if it were not in quirks mode. Text-align: center is likely to solve your problems in this instance, but you might consider dealing with the other issues. Is there a reason you need the XML declaration? The page is not being served as XML... Hope that helps clear things up, ~holly ps - note, I did no testing with your page...
