Unable to center div

ok First time here and this is no doubt something really obvious I am overlooking. I use the following css and html to try and center a container div on a page. For the life of me it will not center in FF though. Any ideas??

CSS

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
html, body 

{

        margin: 0 auto;

        padding: 0;

    text-align: center;

    font: xx-small Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    background-color:#cccccc;

    height: 100%;

        margin-bottom: 1px;

} 
 
#container{

    width: 768px;

    text-align: left;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-right: auto;    

    background-color: #fff;        

}

HTML[html]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>center page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" >
Here
</div>
</body>
</html>[/html]

Hi.

Just tried this. Worked on both IE7 and Firefox 2.

I have managed to come back to this after being distracted. Still experiencing this weird non centering in FF. On FF, although body margins are set to 0 auto and container margins all 0 it is pushing the page across to the right instead of centering it as in IE.

Any ideas?

I looked at it again in both FF and IE6 and IE7 and they all look identical.
