If you want to center your DIV in IE 5.5, or in later versions in
"compatible" mode (e.g. w/o a DOCTYPE) you can do this:
body {
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
div { /* or its ID if you have more DIVs */
margin: 0 auto; /* as you state */
text-align: left;
}
Explanation:
In "compatible" mode, IE erroneously centers block items when you
tell it to center text. The "margin: 0 auto;" centers modern browsers,
but you have to re-assign text alignment (unless you want it centered).

No trouble at all.
