I'm having a problem with the width of the body of my page in mozilla. Mozilla seams to add some extra space to the right side of my page. I've set the margins and padding to 0 on both the <body> and <html> tags in css. It appears that the <html> tag is the culprit. In the page below, I've put a dashed green border around the <html> block and a solid red border around the <body> block. The page displays fine in IE6, but not in mozilla 1.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Before your urls get nuked, some questions and a comment.

Questions:

Are the borders for demonstration purposes only?
Why the z-index of -5 on the body element?
Why do you have any style properties on the html element at all?
Have you considered that a min-width of 800px will make the body 800px wide, and that on at an 800 x 600 resolution this will cause some scrolling (since the viewport is 800px minus the browser chrome)? [MSIE ignores min-width]

Comment:

For the various shorthand properties in your style sheet you can safely replace [w3.org] "0px 0px 0px 0px" with "0".

I know you didn't ask about IE5.5, but as a matter of interest there isn't a dashed green border in sight. The whole page is surrounded by a solid red border.

I see a dashed green border too - it's from the border:green dashed; in your html in your CSS.
