Firefox is following the W3C specs correctly, IE is not. W3C says that
width is the content width, not including padding.

A google found http://www.ozzu.com/ftopic24024.html

Interestingly Opera renders it like IE, but your DOCTYPE isn't complete so
perhaps both are rendering the page in "quirks mode". Adding a full
DOCTYPE should make IE and Opera behave like FF, following the W3C specs
properly.

Hope this helps!
