I have created a container that will be centered on the page the css I have for it is.

Code:

#body {
 width:1000px;
 padding:20px;
 margin-top: 30px;
 background: #fff;
 margin-right:auto;
 margin-left:auto;
}

I'm not sure why, but it works fine in chrome and firefox, but
not in IE. anybody know why. Thanks

It looks okay to me. I made a quick html document and tried it out and it worked in IE7. Can you post the rest of the code or a link? Maybe it is a problem in a surrounding element???

What VERSION of IE ?? If it's anything older than IE6 or your IE6 is not fully patched, then you will have to add text-align: center; to the <body> to make it center the #body wrapper.
