Welcome to CSS!
I have attached a patch (relative to the www directory) which gets rid
of all center tags and align="center" attributes.
When the item to be centered is an inline item like an img or header or
normal text then the containing block item needs "text-align: center".
When the item to be centered is a block level item like a div then that
div needs it's left and right margins set to auto. Think of it like a
spring on each side of the div attaching it to it's container - it will
end up in the middle. IE complicates things a little, if you set
text-align: center it will also center block items inside it when it
should not.
I removed the table which you were trying to center because you don't
need it, styling the containing div is much simpler and achieves the
same end.
I have tested the pages in IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.2.
