Hi

I’m having a problem with a 1px border area appearing in IE (but not FF) on the left hand edge of a div container.

Both the div container and the graphic are 995px wide.

You can see this here:

Works fine in IE but not FF.

The CSS for the div:

#container\_main\_sub{  
position:relative;  
top:0px;  
width:995px;  
height:1100px;  
background-color:#CCCCCC;  
margin: auto;  
padding:0px;  
}

Grateful for any ideas on a fix

Thanks

Dirk
