I'm working on a website layout you can find at dev.movingcost.com

In most browsers, everything seems fine... but I'm getting a horizontal scroll bar on the window when viewing the page in IE.

I'm using a fixed width of 960px with auto margins to center the content. I've even tried using "overflow-x:hidden" on the html and body tags to no avail... any clue where the problem is?

A: 

For starters, you have 20px of padding in the body on that page. That makes the body at least 1000px wide. But the body's computed width is 1009px, so probably some graphic is forcing it even wider. Note: This isn't just an IE issue.

I'm not sure that this is correct.I double-checked the computed style in chrome and I have "width:1423px;" You can't really go by computed width for body elements, since it is "computed" after your browser has rendered it for your specific screen size...Anyway, the padding is only on the bottom, not on the left or right side.
