Menu
I am trying to center a div #logo_alt containing an image using margin: 40px auto 0px auto;.
Problem:: On Chrome, it looks perfect, but in IE, this img-containing div is aligned to the left of its parent container #header_organizer. I just cant figure out why this is happening, and how it can be fixed in IE! Any help greatly appreciated :)
HTML
<div id="header_organizer">
<div id="user_bar">...</div>
<div id="user_bar_menu">...</div>
<div id="logo_alt"> <!-- <<<<< We are centering this div! -->
<img src="logo.png" \>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#header_organizer {
width: 100%;
height: 180px;
background: black url(../images/template/header.png);
float: left;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
}
#logo_alt {
width: 256px;
height: 55px;
margin: 40px auto 0px auto;
}
#user_bar {
height: 30px;
color: #CCC;
font-size: 13px;
margin-right: 10px;
padding: 0px 5px;
float: right;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
z-index: 3000;
}
#user_bar_menu {
width: 200px;
height: 165px;
background: white;
border: 1px solid #BEBEBE;
float: right;
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
right: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: -1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
display: none;
z-index: 1000;
border-image: initial;
}

The HTML file start off with
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">.
Well there's your problem. You need to give your document an XHTML doctype declaration since your root element has that xmlns attribute anyway. Then IE will work in standards mode and render your margin: 0 auto style correctly.

Firstly, add a doctype to prevent IE from slipping into quirks more.
Then try this...
body {
width: 100%;
}
