Alignment of footer

On my site, I have created a footer that is simply a shaded box with a
  character.

Using Server Side Includes, I use this footer on every page. On some
pages it loads fine, on other pages it is butted up against the left
side of the browser - as though the page margin was set to 0.

I cannot figure out why it is not displaying where it is supposed to
display. It is not contained within another DIV or SPAN element - as
far I can can see. Even if it were, all of the other elements on the
page have the correct margin.

The code for the stylesheet and the footer is pasted below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John S.

#footer {
width: 700px;
height: 25px;
background: #695A1BC;
border: 3px solid black;
border-left: 5px solid black;
}


<DIV id=footer>
&nbsp;
</DIV>

URL?

DIV id=footer

/DIV

Well, it will force a scrollbar in any browser window narrower than
700px wide, which isn't good.

In fact I'd guess that the difference between pages that look okay and
those that don't is in the dimensions of the rest of the contents. But
no way to tell without a URL.
