   Hey everyone,
   I'm a little new to coding but I've been doing my best getting my Wordpress site up and running from a template [the templates the newer Revolution 2 TV template btw].

   I've set up the template and it looks great in Firefox. I didn't really make any major changes. I installed everything basically by the book how the creator intended it to be installed.

   I'm finding I'm having a problem though when switching back and forth between IE and Firefox though. Basically the page loses its margins on either side and stops being centered.

   Here's a link to the temporary site

   Firefox - http://i34.tinypic.com/dgpftt.png
   IE - http://i37.tinypic.com/2z81c77.png

   I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give me.
   Thanks :)

   you can use "IE conditional comments" to tweak IE CSS.

   Thanks for your help.
   I was gonna try loading up an "if IE" andload up another fixed style sheet.

   I just found the center code for IE though.
   body
   {_text-align:center;}
   #main
   { width:960px;
   margin:0 auto;
   _text-align:left;}

   It solved some of my problems.
   There's still a bit of a jaggedy texture to the IE version. I'll work some more on it tomorrow though and hopefully figure it out before I start populating the pages.

   Im strongly against CSS hack. Those little hack for IE will actually bug another browser. My advice that you should write standards CSS as it will stay relevant with future browser and used IE conditional comments for tweaking IE browser specifically.
