mozilla vs IE and JS and recognizing margins

Here is an example page:

In Mozilla, the "options" is shifted to the left, since it apparantly counted the offset from the edge of the screen and not from the 40px margin specified in the CSS. Mozilla and IE show the margins properly, so it's the javascript that doesn't read the margins in Mozilla.

Do I need to change my stylesheet, or put the info in the <body>? Somebody else must have come across this issue... I did a search but there's no clear answer.

Here's my stylesheet:

thanks.

Code:

A:LINK {
  text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff
}
A:VISITED {
  text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff
}
A:HOVER {
  text-decoration: none; color: #BCFFFF
}
A:ACTIVE {
  text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff
}

 BODY {
   margin-left: 40px;
   margin-right: 40px;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-bottom: 0px;
   background-color: #eaeaea;
