Well, I believe Quirks mode is in control here as stated before. In this
case try this:
<div>
<center>
<p style="width:600px;"> -- The running text goes here -- </p>
</center>
</div>
Yes, it's a hack and in Quirks mode Hacking is the way to go unfortunately.
This will center the p element in quirks mode.
