In Firefox 1/Windows, the silver navigation bar at the top of the page
extends farther out to the right than it should.

In IE6/Windows, it breaks differently: the white containing box with
the black border ("MetaContainer") is pushed too far out to the right.

What's stumping me is that for me, this problem doesn't happen on any
other page of the site (e.g., http://www.ibctv.com/site/action,
http://www.ibctv.com/site/products).  All the pages include the same
nav, so I don't know why they would be rendering differently.

My style sheet's here: http://www.ibctv.com/etc/ibctv/files/ibctv-style.css

In both cases, the rendering problems are due to the same issue -- PageContainer is about 10 pixels too wide on the contact page. It just manifests itself in different ways on FF and IE. I figured this out by using the DOM Inspector to outline the various elements. Even if you don't use the DOM Inspector, throwing backgrounds or borders on elements to see where they are falling can be really helpful in debugging.

However, I don't immediately see why PageContainer is bigger on that one page, and I can't take the time right now to dig in. Hopefully this gives you a clue of where to look, though.
