Here is my site and style sheet (which work fine in IE):
My problem seems to be with the margins. When I set them to 5% in IE, the container div shrinks like I want it to, but in FF the whole page appears shifted to the right, with the margin only on the left side. Also the bottom border won't render (at any size). Anyone have any idea how to fix either of these problems? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Problem with margins and borders in Firefox
Hi Merc_2k,
Firstly try removing the width from HTML, body.
If that has no effect try setting the margin and padding to 0 in the html , body and then wrapping another div around everything with a margin of 5%.
Hope that helps

Still doesn't seem to want to work. I guess I'll have to play around with it. Thanks.

Remove the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
This switches IE into quirks mode with the faulty box model.
Remove all references to width 100%.
If you add margins of 5% you will end up with an overall width of 110% giving left/right scrolling.
In your layout at the moment Firefox is correct.
