Is this a good way to center a div?

I have been reading alot about how much trouble we get into with IE when trying to center a div. I had a lot of trouble with it and mainly just wanted to have a fixed width site (760px or so) with a thin border all the way around it.

Is the following code a good way to accomplish this?
Code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

div {
	border: 1px solid #666666;
	height: 100%;
	width: 100%;
	}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table width="770" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>

</body>


I am planning on having this as my index page and just using an "include" for the different header/body/footer elements.
Would love some advice/opinions.

You should eschew deprecated tags such as center. Try these demos
