IE 6 for some reason I cannot work out adds 15px of extra space at the right side of the last UL. Pushing the containing div 15px wider than it should be.
Any ideas?

1. If you add a fifth ul element -
<ul>
<li>5</li>
</ul>
Just before the </body> tag, the fifth element appears under the first and the margin on the forth one behaves like it should in IE.
2. If you replace the margin-right: 20px; style on the ul element with border-right: 20px white solid; you get the result you are aiming for.
ul {
float: right;
width: 180px;
margin-left: 20px;
background-color: red;
}
You get the reverse of the original, but both browsers render the page the same as far as I can see.
Surely there must be some logical answer? if it's not a bug
