    IE textarea bug?

    Hey!

    If you take a look at http://dinius.zymichost.com/ in IE (7) you can see that the textareas are much further to the right than they should be.

    I think know where this """error""" occurs.
    If you look at the stylesheet http://localhost/dinius_1/default.css

    and then at this part
    Code:
    #maincontent {
    	padding:5px 15px 15px 15px;
    	border-left:1px solid #CCCCCC;
    	margin-left:175px;
    	min-height:700px;
    }
    Its that 175px left margin that makes this happen, if I remove it, the textareas would loose the extra space to the left, but ofc this would ruin it for every other web browser...
    But I cant figure out how to fix this, first thing Ive encountered that Im not able to deal with Only thing I can think of is remaking the side using other techniques and I dont really wanna do that, Id rather shut it off for IE users.. But I dont really wanna do that either..

    So does anyone know how I could fix this? css hacks etc would be welcome..

    Put the textarea tags inside p tags:-

    <p><textarea class="quote" readonly="readonly" rows="1"
    cols="1">
    Lorem...........
    ................
    Vivamus
    neque.</textarea></p>
    Code downloaded to my PC will be deleted in due course.
    WIN7; IE9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari for Windows; screen resolution usually 1366*768.
    Also IE6 on W98 with 800*600 and IE8 on Vista 1440*900.
