CSS Margin difference between IE and Firefox

Asked by IShiva in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: firefox, css, ie, margin, difference

Hey everyone

I am creating a css layout for a new website. So far, I am simply laying out the divs in a 800px wide main container.

I am noticing that that IE is 1 px off from Firefox on the right side. I have a bg image (830px  wide, white with gradients on each side. This is included in the body css tag)

When I start adding my divs, i notice a 1px white space difference in IE. Firefox displays correctly. I have included my code.

Can anyone see if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks
