visual-portal-wrapper

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to using plone.  I've been reading the book by Andy 
McKay and using the plone website to find answers.  However, I've run 
into something I can't figure out what is happening and how to start to 
figure it out.

I'm trying to setup a single column site by using a visual-wrapper in 
the plonecustom.css.  Thus I have the following in my plonecustom.css

body {
     background: #a7c7e0;
}

#visual-portal-wrapper {
     margin: 1em auto 0 auto;
     width:  780px;
}

#portal-top {
     background:  url(header.jpg) transparent no-repeat;
     padding:  117px 0 0 0;
     position:  relative;
}

But what happens is that the content area tends to be a number of 
pixels wider and the nice single column is not showing up in IE5 or 
Safari for the Mac.  See http://mcbridme.sba.muohio.edu:8300/ to see 
the effect I'm talking about.

I've searched the archives for "wrapper" and everything I find 
indicates I'm using correct custom css.  Any ideas where to start 
searching?

Thanks and have a happy holiday season.
