Hi,
What commands of css are not working in IE? And how we can change them?
My webpage is floated: center, but in IE it still appears in left... Firefox and Opera shows it without any problems.

The reason may be that there is no float: center; It's either left or right. If you want to center your page in the middle of the browser use this:
body {
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
}
Then a wrapper div :
#wrapper {
width: 900px;
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
}

I think you just answered your own question of why... :)
But, to further that, a wrapper is just a convenient way to apply centering to one element instead of all your elements. Plus, it's an easier way to make it cross-browser compatible. However, for older versions of IE (notably IE6) the old method was to 'trick' IE into centering your page by using:
body {
text-align: center;
}
#wrapper {
text-align: left;
}
Which centered the wrapper but within the wrapper the text would align left as normal.
