Then you must give the div surrounding those bottom-borders the same
width - 810px, or else the 'margin:0 auto 0 auto;' will have no effect.

In addition to that, add...

#bottomBorderLeft {
clear: both;
}

....and you'll get the intended line-up and centering.

A more normal way to add borders would be to include the bottom-border
parts in the main page-container - without that extra container-div, and
just clear them below the footer. Then they will center along with the
page without any further styling.

Delete...

#pageDef {
height: 100%;
}

....to prevent IE7 from stretching that element too far. I know that'll
destroy your attempt on "full window-height", but since that part is
interpreted strangely by IE7 anyway I don't think much is lost.
