Hi Santiago,
As David Laakso already observed, you have no DOCTYPE, so all versions
of IE run in "backwards compatible" or "quirks" mode, with lots of
non-standard behavior. David's suggestion to add a suitable DOCTYPE is
a good one, although that won't fix IE prior to version 6.
The solution for older IE, as well as IE 6 or 7 in "quirks" mode, is to
put a declaration of "text-align: center;" in the rule for the BODY
selector, which (wrongly) centers everything inside it, not just the
text. Add the declaration "text-align: left;" to the rule for
"contenedor" to correct the text alignment.
In the same way, add "text-align: center;" to the "contenedor_gris"
rule, and "text-align: left;" to the rule for "contenido".
I hope you understand my explanation. Your English seems very good, so
I am assuming you are fluent. (I am living in California now, and have
absolutely no excuse for not knowing Spanish!)
Cordially,
David
