You can control the width of the border in both IE & NS by using the 
margin property, you will have to add a right to the element in question 
some thing like this
<html>
<head><title>Border & Margin Test</title>
<style>
h1 {border: 1px solid black; margin-right: 75%;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Your Text Here</h1>
</body>
</html>
conversely you can make NS display the border properly (as the way IE 
displays the border is the correct way in accordance with WC3)  by 
adding margin: none; to your style.
