Moz needs the border in Win as well. But using a border then
requires a box model hack for IE5.x.
With a little extra markup that hack is unnecessary. First put
a clearing element just before the end of #container, then add
a static div 12px high between the two containers. Or you
could just clear that div, which SHOULD do the same thing,
but I would not bet on it.
Okay it sullies the markup; but when a simple border hack
leads to needing a BMH, I draw the bord.. er, line.
