I'm working on this site for a customer and it is almost complete
except for one issues that I'm having with CSS on one section of the
site:

http://demo.vabb.com/faq.php

In IE 6, Firefox 2 and Safari 2 it looks great. But in IE 7 it shifts
the background image of the Body tag to the right, unless I open up
the elements in the FAQ. If all the <dd> elements are shown, then the
background image shifts back centered like it is supposed to be. It is
using a Javascript to show/hide <dd> elements which are the answer to
the questions contained in <dt> elements.

Anyone have any ideas why IE 7 is causing this shift?

What happens if you fix the HTML errors?

(BTW, I trust that you are aware that your layout falls apart if (like
me) users have a larger font size than you expect.)

Fixing the HTML errors doesn't correct the problem... Any other ideas?

Yes, I know about the font size issues. I designed for a typical
browser options, with regular text sizes.
