<table width="640" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="mainTable">

#mainTable
{
border : 1px;
border-color: black;
width: 640px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

The above code centers the table using opera 7.0 but not with IE 6.0. I like
to do this using css and not html. Is there something Im missing ?

This would be better as
border: 1pxs solid black;
or
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;

It will work in Win IE6 if you include a doctype that triggers
standards mode rather than quirks mode. See
http://www.hut.fi/~hsivonen/doctype.html

It will not work in Win IE5.5 and lower.

MSIE has more then a few bugs. Workarounds here:
