Text width in scroller tiny in ie

[matsp]

1) Script Title: gAjax RSS Ticker

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...xrssticker.htm

3) Describe problem: The width of the scrolling text is not the width of the box. This only happens in internet explorer. I can't see where it could be wrong, i have it working fine in other places but not at this box width (700px). Any ideas? You can see the problem at http://www.withnature.co.uk/lifestyle_news.php

Hope to hear from someone who can help, many thanks.

You cannot center absolutely positioned elements via 'align="center"' in IE without throwing things off, also, 96% apparently wasn't working, changes/additions red:

#example2{ /*Demo 2 main container*/
width: 700px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px dashed white;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #565832;
}

#example2 div ul{ /*Demo 2 UL container*/
margin: 0;
padding-left: 18px;
text-align:center;
}

      <div style="width:700px;margin:0 auto;text-align:left;">
        <p><font size="+1">Welcome to the With Nature 
          News Portal</font><br>
          Back to '<a href="lifestyle.php">Lifestyle</a>' index
          <br>
          <img src="squiggle.gif" alt="Nature news" width="342" height="27" border="0">

        <script type="text/javascript">

I'm having almost the same trouble only in my case, vertically.

When it scrolls up, it's way too high that runs our of the top border.
Here's the link...
