Very slight width discrepancy between Mozilla and IE

Does ayone know a hack for setting the width of a border in just Internet Explorer only?

I've been struggling with the width of a border/background which appears 1-2 pixels wider in IE than in Mozzila and Opera. It's perfect in Mozilla and Opera but not quite there in IE. Thank you.

<![endif]-->
