  Old  footer wide problem in IE7

after tweaking as much as possible a dating script i finally thought to ask for some help
in FF3 the footer is wide since i use
PHP Code:
#footerMain{
    
width:100%;
    
height:150px;
    
background:url(images/ftb.jpgrepeat-;
    
color:#DE7F0B;
margin:0;
}
#footer{
    
width:950px;
    
margin:0 auto;
    
height:112px;
    
position:relative;

now in IE7 things are not the same. the script uses a lot of tables and also uses the <center> tag...the footer goes after the </center> or </table> tags are closing so it should work...unfortunately is not

I think you would need to include some HTML with this, i'm assuming the footer ID is in the footermain ID? If this is the case (I'm very new to xhtml so give me a break =p) could it be the width: 950px that is causing the problem?

Try not using the width command at all, or unless you wanted it to be a specific size inside of the footmain id, try using px instead of % or am i going completely off track here?

I'm probably wrong as i'm new but it was worth a try i guess.
