Confirm that the alignment is off. But using
http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/tools/javascript-object-explorer/ you
can search for the mcontent element and display the value of style.left to see
it really is -3px. So,... I would say the CSS is not entirely correct but the
problem seems to be due to something else. 

Looking at
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.riverdance.com%2F1.0%2Findex.php3&doctype=Inline
shows this page has numerous HTML errors that may also be the cause.

Since relative positioning is dependent upon the parse tree, I would say this
needs to be evangelized about proper HTML/CSS.
