BTW, my suggestion does the exact same as Russ' except that i was more specific about the element. Russ' will reset margins and padding globally which at this point may be undesirable because youll lose the default margins and or padding of elements where you might want them (for instance in the <p> tags in your primary content). Normally if you were near the beginning of development i would suggest this as its easier than dealing with IE6 if you plan for it from the start, but given that youre pretty far along and it seems this is the only particular element and instance of that element you are having trouble with i suggest specifically applying the reset only to that element. If you dont mind spending a bit more time tweaking i would indeed follow Russ' lead though.
