So based on previous help, putting margin: 0 auto on the container and removing ALL margin properties on the content box worked perfectly in Mozilla Firefox but Internet Explorer was a disaster.

How can I center the content box on both Internet Explorer and Mozilla?

The CSS Code: style_sample.css

    The page has no doctype declaration, e.g.:

    <!doctype html>    
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>

    Hence, the browser is being thrown into Internet 5.5/Netscape/1998 compatibility/quirks mode:

    If you add the <!doctype html> declaration to throw it into standards mode (which i can simulate by changing the browser into standards mode):

    the page then renders fine for me.

    Internet Explorer (Quirks mode):
