IE bug extra character

[dee2005]

Hi,

As anyone come across and fixed a bug that IE produces. When you have 2 floating element left and right (side by side) at the bottom of the div, only in IE it produces a extra character

I think it is diffcult to understand from just the code and cna;t provide a link
css:
#lottoslipFooter{
float:right;
width:318px;
height:8em;
padding-bottom:8px;
background-color:#FE0000;
border:0px solid black;
}

#play{float:right; width:147px; padding:3px 0 0 0; border:1px solid lime;}
#totalAmount{float:right; padding-bottom:10px; margin:0; font-size:160%; color:#FFFFFF;}
#playnowBtn{float:right; margin:0 0 0 -3px;}

#chooseContainer{
float:left;
width:159px;
padding:3px 0 0 8px;
font-size:95%;
/* \*/font-size:90%; /* hides from ie mac */
font-weight:bold;
border:1px solid lime;
}

#choosedraws, #chooseweeks{
float:left;
width:159px;
padding:0;
margin:0 -3px 0 0;
background-color:#FE0005;
}

#noOfdays, #noOfweeks {
float:left;
color:#FFFFFF;
margin:0 -3px 0 0;
background-color:#FE0005;
}

xhtml
<div id="play">
<span id="totalAmount">Total <strong>&pound;0</strong></span>
<div id="playnowBtn"><a href="#"><img src="player/i/playnow.gif" alt="Play now" /></a></div>
</div>
<div id="chooseContainer">
<div id="choosedraws">
<span id="noOfdays">Choose draws
<select name="daysOfWeek">
<option value="_______">Please Select</option>
<option value="__W____">Wednesday</option>
</select>
</span>
</div>
<div id="chooseweeks">
<span id="noOfweeks">Choose number of weeks
<select name="numberOfWeeks">
<option value="0" selected="selected">Please Select</option>
<option value="1">1</option></select>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- lottofooter ends -->

the main problem is in IE6 duplicates an extra character, tried many suggestion such as margin-right:-3px does not work.
