I have a block level element which I am centering on the page. I have gotten it to work for all other browsers except IE6 where it ALMOST works.

If I view the page in IE6 the red box is slightly off center of the pink one in
IE. If I then resize the browser window it snaps into place where I want it. Uhhhhh.... yea.... what gives? How come resizing the window makes it work? I have also tried setting an explicit width on the wrapper with no avail.
