hey all...i did a search of the forum and havn't found any similar problems. my site (http://tswitkowski.selfip.biz ) is prett much styled the way i want it for now in FF, but in IE I get a horizontal scroll bar. I havn't set the width of anything I can see, and i temporarily put borders around everything in order to show that html and body elements are the ful width of the screen, and do not extend off of the viewport. any thoughts on what can be causing this?

'mysterious' horizontal scroll bar in IE
Not tested.
Try
#footer ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding: 0;
text-align:center;
line-height:15px;
}Note, width removed and padding added.
cheers,
gary

As Gary suggests it's the fact that you have ul width 100% plus 20% padding on the footer parent, look at it in border outline in FF and remove the 20% padding and you will see the ul escape the footer all in all you seem to be overworking the footer rules, if you want the list links centered can you not apply say ~80% width and auto margins to the ul and do away with the footer padding?

'mysterious' horizontal scroll bar in IE
i see what you guys are saying, and it makes perfect sense. i should have done that to begin with, but unfortunately, it still is not working out too well for me, same problem.
p.s. i do know it is the footer though, cuz i rendered the page without the footer div, and no horizontal scrollbar
