Right-o. Here's my sloppy, sloppy code (still trying to learn):

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <p>
    <span class="MainBoxSplash">
        <map name="TableWorkaround">
        <div class="SplashContent">
            <table class="SplashTitle" border="0" rules="cols" frame="vsides">
                <tr><td>Text</td></tr>
                <tr><td><img id="SplashBadge" src="badge.gif" alt=""></td></tr>
                <tr><td>Text</td></tr>
            </table>
        </div>
        <p id="SplashSlash">
            <a class="SplashLink" href="Link.htm">English</a>
             /
            <a class="SplashLink" href="Link.htm">Français</a>
        </p>
        </map>
    </span>
    </p>
</body>
</html>
It has some table junk in it - I think I was trying to jerry-rig the HTML to display like I want to in IE. No luck. Here's the relevant CSS code (since it isn't in the same document):

Code:
body { 
    background-color: #660000;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 100%;
}

div.SplashContent {
    margin: 0px;
    margin-top: 5px;
    width: 460px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    font-size: 2em;
    padding-top: 10px;
    margin-left: 5px
}

img#SplashBadge {
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-width: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    margin-top: 10px;
}

p#SplashSlash {
    margin-top: 7px;
    font-size: 1.125em;
}

span.MainBoxSplash {
    margin: auto;
    width: 472px;
    height: 330px;
    background-color: #dddddd;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
}


table.SplashTitle {
    margin: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    border-width: 0px;
}
Probably a lot of useless junk in there, too. Note - the code is probably bare-bones, since I've taken anything out that might identify what it is. The site I'm trying to throw together is a bit political for BAUT.

Edit: Tofu, just looked into your code. Interesting, but it isn't centred in either browser.

Edit 2: I forgot to say that I ran both codes through the w3 validators. They passed.
