Why won't my site auto center in IE? Quick CSS question..

My site is: http://osuato.org/

Tee div that the entire site is held within has these css properties:

#taubox {
border: 1px solid #888;
width:876px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
background-color: #111;
border-style: dotted
}

it auto centers find in FF but not IE. I have the position and margin properties set correct. Any ideas why? thanks

 

You cannot have anything at all before the DTD. Correct your syntax errors. You also need to reset your editor to use the correct character encoding. Your server says utf-8, but your text is actually windows-1252, which uses reserved character values, not allowed in any iso encoding.
