It should be reset with a wrapping element, where you set text-align: left; And I'm not sure weather it works with inline styles. But, as I said, it might not be so important anymore, as IE6 is used by <10% of users, so margin: 0 auto; is more than enough.

text-align:center is a total disaster. I tried that first, and it completely messed up my table.

    Oh, no. It's even more fun than that. Internet Explorer does not
    go with
    the margin:0 auto; You have to use text-align:center :)
    So it's more like:

    <body>
       <div id="wrap">
       ... your centered content ...
       </div>
    </body>

    and

    <style type="text/css">
    body {
       text-align: center; // IE centering
    }
    #wrap {
       text-align: left; // Reset back to left
       margin: 0 auto; // Modern browser centering
    }
    </style>

    PS. I didn't test this, but it's the same thing we use every day to
    center whole page.
