Page will not center in Internet Explorer

When putting someones old javascript function on my page it makes it no longer center in IE(7). What I think is causing it is the page width is getting superficially longer as a result of the script.

This is how I have it centered:

#container{width:960px; margin:0 auto;}

Here is what I have tried to fix it (needless to say it didnt work):

 if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {
  document.getElementByID("container").style.marginLeft=(((document.body.offsetWidth - 960)/2));
 }

Thank you ahead of time! :-)

Totally agree with the posts above, had a lot of problems with IE before specifying a DOCTYPE, e.g.: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Internet explorer has had problems with margin:0 auto since the dawn of its creation. Its very picky.

Take a look at number 6 on this article and try that
