Default IE8 footer 5px up from bottom

Hi, I can't seem to work out what is causing the footer on my site to be about 5px above the bottom of the page, in IE8. (It may or may not do the same in IE6 and IE7, I haven't tested those yet.)

You can view it on any page on the site:

Also, the top row of links, <ul class="helpbox">, is too near the top of the footer in IE8, but is fine in Firefox. I have tried adding a new style to altskinie7.css,


#footer .helpbox {

display: block;
margin: 5px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

but that just moved the border of the footer up by five pixels, which looks even worse! I tried changing it to:


#footer .helpbox {

display: block;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
}

but that didn't work either.




(I know I don't have to put the "px" in for zero values, but it saves time when I am constantly changing from five to zero, so at the moment I'm leaving them in, until I finally fix it!)


I expect it's something very simple, but I've spent half an hour fiddling with it, and can't seem to work it out. Can anybody help?
