Yes the page is not centered in IE8.  You need to change the CSS as follows:

body { 
        color: black; 
        font-size: medium; 
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular; 
        background-image: url(graphics/graytile.gif);
        text-align: center;
}

#container  { 
        background-color: white; 
        margin: 0px auto; 
        width: 800px;
        text-align: left; 
}

Effectively, I have inserted Text-Align in body to be centered and text-align 
in container to be left and as long as you don't mess around with margins (0 
auto) you should be alright in all major browsers.
