    Try this. Works in IE6-8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
	* {
		margin:0px;
		padding:0px;
	}
	body {
		text-align: center;
	}
	#container {
		position: absolute;
		left: 0;
		top: 0;
		width:100%;
	}
	#header {
		width:990px;
		height:100px;
		background-color: #FF0000;
	}
	#content {
		width:100%;
		height:auto;
		color: #9C0;
		background-color: #999900;
	}
	#footer {

		color: #D6D6D6;
		background-color: #0099FF;
	}
	.center {
		margin-left: auto;
		margin-right: auto;
	}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">
