I'm working on my own ASP Forum system...but that's besides the point. I am doing my best to code it in as much a cross-browser layout as possible. Well, I'm using as little table's as possible, and doing my best to only use DIV's. Well here's the problem:

On the forum page, the borders to not align up between the opening DIV and the table for the information. Anyone have any ideas? In IE they align on the left, but not the right. In FF they don't align on either side.

Here's the CSS:

*{
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

body
{
	vertical-align: top;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	margin: 12px 20px;
}

/*MAIN*/
.MainDiv
{
/*	margin: 12px 20px;
*/	padding: 0px;
}
/*Current User*/
.MainDiv .CurrentUserAlert
{
	border: 1px solid #AA0000;
	background-color: #EFDFDF;
	padding: 3px;
	width: 100%;
}
.MainDiv .CurrentUserActive
{
	border: 1px solid #C2CFDF;
	background-color: #F0F5FA;
	padding: 3px;
	width: 100%;
}
.MainDiv #CurrentUser input
{
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	padding-left: 2px;
}

/*ForumView*/
.MainDiv .DivTable
{
	width: 100%;
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	padding: 0px;
	border-spacing: 0;
	border-collapse: collapse;
}
.MainDiv .DivTableHeader
{
	width: 100%;
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: none;
	padding: 3px;
}
.MainDiv .DivTableRow
{
	border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
	padding: 3px;
}
.MainDiv .DivTableCell
{
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	padding: 3px;
}

And here's the ASP page:

The DIVs should be put in a wrapper DIV with a set width with the contained DIVs having no width set, which will default to 100%. As far as the topic list, you should use a table (if you aren't already - I only glanced at your code) as that's semantically correct. It shouldn't need a width set, either.
