horizontal scrollbars in ie7

Question

I'm trying to build a fluid layout website based on the Golden Grid System without limiting IE7.

I am getting an unwanted horizontal scrollbar for the body. If I force the width to be smaller, it will disappear. However, it will not be fluid.

The layout looks fine, just some unwanted spacing to the right that I cannot account for which is causing the horizontal scrollbar.

This issue is in header element. try adding <!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]--> . If you remove display: block or add overflow: hidden scrollbar disapear, but also design crashes.
