sidebox margin not flush with right side of page only in ie

Hello I have tried for a few hours already to get this perfect and just can't. If you look at this site in ie you will probably see there is a white space between the right side of the right sidebox and the border.

It looks GREAT in firefox 3. I was viewing it with ie7. I have changed the stylesheet.css multiple times and tried searching the forums and trying out different codes but no success. Please anyone know how to fix this annoying problem?

EDIT... For some reason if you navigate to the About Us page it looks normal and perfect in ie7 but the other pages don't. I looked at the code for the About Us page and the only different i saw really was this...<span class="text"> but added that it and didn't do much.

With parsing 10 css files there is undoubtedly one or more conflicts between them...I would begin by merging or concantenating most of them to insure that any specidfic class/tag does not have multiple entries.

Also Always design in a standards compatible browser and when done go back and correct any of the IE quirks mode issues

Well i deleted the stylesheet files that I am not using. I have seven now but they are for different mods that are put into place. For example the css category menu and stuff. I am not sure what you mean by design in a standards compatible browser and when done go back and correct any of the IE quirks mode issues. I am using firefox and IE but many people use IE so it needs to work in both.

Still could be concantenated or at least checked for conflicts

IE calculates margins and padding as they want instead of standards compliant or according to their "quirks mode"

Maybe...BUT Always leave IE "quirks mode" corrections for last

Re: sidebox margin not flush with right side of page only in ie

There is not a way just to fix that margin or padding or whatever it is. Because for some reason it works on the about us page so there is something that is weird.

I am also having trouble getting the stupid spacing for the product descriptions it seems like everything is double spaced. Is there a way to change the spacing?
