    I've checked your site in FF 3.5, IE6 and IE8 and it looks pretty much the same in all those browsers. I don't see any 'extra width'. Screenshot would be helpful.

    The only bug I found was missing png transparency fix for IE6 but who cares about IE6 nowadays?

    Sorry I forgot abt the screenshot.I'm attaching it here.
    What I meant is that the horizontal scrollbar shows extra space than the orginal content. But it doesnt happen with IE.

    Which version of FF do you have? It shows up without any bugs when I open it. (with FF 3.5.

    Nope, I don't have a problem with that...

    I don't see anything that would obviously cause this, so I'd suggest you take Firebug (a Firefox plugin) and try to find out which element causes this bug. Usually I'd do it for you, but it's quite hard to do when I can't reproduce the bug ;)

    Re: Extra width in firefox

    No, that's normal, your content is wider than the viewport, that's why I (deliberately) made the screen smaller (to make a scrollbar appear). It doesn't show much empty space, like in your screenshot. Maybe the scrollbar style confuses you, but it's scrolled all way to the right. There's nothing more to the right of it, and just the content to the left of it. Whereas in your screenshot, there's an awful lot of blue on the right of the content, and you've not even scrolled all way to the right yet.
