Try

text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;

for compatability with IE. Get used to this. Most things that work on
standard browsers won't do the same thing on IE.

I have no problems at all seeing styles in place with dreamweaver. It's
all down to how you have the folders set. When designing a site, I alwasy
create a subdomain on my webserver, then create a new site for each one in
dreamweaver rather than working on the parent root folder (eg set the
local to drive:path to my files/website root/currentsite
and remote site as /public_html/currentsite)

I also make use of the $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/path/myfile.php" system
variable to make sure that I get to the right place. A definate must if
you're implimenting SEO

2 Screens is an absolute must for me. But I tend to have dreamweaver on
the right and phpMyAdmin on the left so I can see the db and the page at
the same time.
