[WSG] Unexpected padding (margin?) on right float

[Cole Kuryakin - x7m]

First, take a look here in Firefox or Netscape: http://www.x7m.us/_clients/danielik/dev/testing/index.htm

Perfect. both floats line up vertically to the top nav bar as 
desired.

Now, take a look in IE6.

Somehow, some right-padding or right-margin has crept into the 
right side of the red outlined box in IE.

I've been beating my already-tender-head over this for hours, 
butcan't figure it out how to fix it.

Have validated the CSS so that's not the problem.

I guess I can add another div and then float all three left - 
maybe that'll fix it, but I haven't tried it yet and feel it's more of a 
work-around solution (if that would even work) than the "right" way to 
accomplish this.

Can someone tell me what's going wrong and what I need to do 
to fix it?

Ever greatful in advance,

Cole

#sideBar { margin: 25px 14px 25px 15px; padding: 0pt; width: 140px; 
float: right;

display: inline; /* fix IE doubled margin bug */
}

Fixed. Thanks so much!

Will review positioniseverything site for better understanding of this
issue - particularly if it only pertains to floats.

Thanks again Ingo.

Cole
