Valid syntax or coding error

* html body {
text-align: center;
}

Does the star before the html do anything here or just something that didn't get cleaned up from commenting it out at one point or another.

Thanks

It is appropriately called the "star HTML" hack. It is seen only by IE browser 6.0 and lower.
Looks as though written incorrectly. Usually something like this (rather than on the body declaration):
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. * html #sidebar p ( text-align:center;}
  3.
