When you say "extra padding-right", I think you really mean "space on
the right side (of something) that you didn't expect." I'm not sure it's
really padding-right. It's often hard to tell from behavior whether one
is looking at an element's right margin or its container's right padding
(or both).
IAC: Your #header-graphic { width: 100%; } makes it try to be the same
full width as div.content2, but you're starting it 10px to the right
because of the left margin in margin: 5px 10px 9px 10px;. So one obvious
workaround/solution is to remove the width declaration from #header-graphic.
Or maybe you want to try adding right padding to your outer box, and
resize the contents accordingly: .content2 { padding-right: 20px; }
BTW, I didn't detect a difference between the Intro and Background pages
relative to any of the others. They all look the same (content excepted)
to me in FF.

You're mixing percentages with pixels, and doing it with elements that
have differing margins, padding, and/or borders. If you aim at margins
and padding, and let the widths come naturally, maybe you'll see better
results. As it is, I get a permanent horizontal scrollbar (I suspect the
following ruleset:
#page-header {
position: absolute;
top: 8px;
left: 8px;
width: 100%;
...etc. }
Leave the left and top if you want, but get rid of at least one of the
other declarations.)
BTW #2: For CSS issues, make sure you read (and post in) the NG
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets.
HTH.
