IE6 > IE7 ?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm making a website for my school. It worked perfectly in FF and IE6 until I checked it on my cousin's computer!

 

It doesn't align center with IE7. It works like a charm on IE6. Here's the link:

Thanks in advance. CSS:

Okay. I got it to work. I used "text-align: center;" in the body and in the rest of the page blocks had text-align: left;. It works great in IE. But now the footer seems to be not centered. IE is really pissing me off! Here's the link: wwpknights.com.
