    Hey guys,

    I ran into a pretty weird bug and just wasted 30 mins investigating but came up short on an answer. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    This image should be 575px… but jQuery tells me its 571px in IE6/7… WHY??

    whats strange is if If I do border: 0; instead of border: none; it seems to fix the bug…

    I’ve DEFINITELY found that IE likes border: 0; more than border: none; I’ve totally transitioned to using border: 0; – As no other browsers seem to have a problem with it.

    Thanks for clearing that up Chris! Glad I wasn’t looking over something simple. :oops:
