Add this to your CSS code:

#tickertape {
height:20px;
position:relative;
width:400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Good luck!

It doesn't work in IE (and maybe other browsers) because you don't have a doctype. Add this to the top of the document, before the <html> tag:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Good luck!
