  1. You have a Doctype that triggers Quirks mode. Among the side effects of this is that Internet Explorer gets "width" wrong (it puts padding inside the width). You are depending on this to centre the element.

    Steps to rectify (and improve other aspects of the page while you're at it):

    1. Change Doctype to one that triggers standards mode

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

       "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    2. Validate and correct the machine detectable errors

    3. Use CSS to centre
