It's easy to center an element, for firefox and safari, we only need to specify the width and margin left and right set to auto. However, you will need to specify text-align to center in the parent element for IE.

CSS

body {
	text-align:center;	/* for ie	*/
}

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