My HTML code works fine in IE8 but pages "jump" slightly to the right and left in Firefox
I have created a website that looks and works fine in IE8 but in Firefox some of the pages jump a couple of pixels to the left. I have tried to debug it but cannot find any coding errors.

You can force a vertical scroll bar with body {overflow-y: scroll}

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

Firefox uses a default margin of 8px in the body. If you do not want that margin then add this style rule:
body {margin: 0px}
There may be other difference depending on the DOCTYPE that you specify (or omit).
After hours and hours of removing code and content, I finally figured out why it is jumping from one page to another (and it's a bit embarrassing to admit): the %!&#? scroll bar's absence or presence shifts the page that many pixels to the right and left!!! This doesn't happen in IE because it is always there, whether used or not. Does anyone know how to "fix" this "problem" in Firefox? I think it looks really clunky for it to jump left and right depending on which page on my site you click on.
