Not using a DOC type tag, this alone can cause problems on some browsers, as the browser tries to compile your layout in one of two ways - new and old
most troublesome browsers are NS6 and IE6

I'm not using it for the design, i'm using it for tablular data - I think ( a table of links is tablular data isn't it?)

But ok, I'll try those, suggestions.

Busy: I'm not using any doctype, this is for my personal site which I develope to learn XHTML and PHP and CSS. And yeah it does look like I will have to change to XHTML Transitional if it were for someone :S

Yes body { text-align: center } will work but you should not be using tables for a site in Strict xhtml! You can do the exact same thing with div's!

margin: 0 auto 0 auto;

It won't work in IE6 because it still has a broken box model. (STILL!) You should be able to use text-align: center; for IE6. It's been awhile since I had to center something, so I'm not 110% positive - test test test, then check css-discuss.org archives.

there are ways to cheat it, (text-align:center) but you should remember tables in XHTML strict are meant to be for data only
and IE6 among other browsers don't handle all of CSS properly so if it's really important to be centered use XHTML transitional
