I have now spend many hours trying to figure out what can be wrong and how to solve this issue.

I have a whitespace in the left side of the website (beside the logo), and not at the right side, and it doesn't seem to be a problem when viewing the site with FF, only IE.

I have tried following some of the advices given elsewhere on this issue, but it still have'nt solved my problem. Any advice would be apreciated a lot :).

The CSS looks like this

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}


#mainWrapper {
	topmargin:0 auto;
	top:0em;
	text-align:center;
	vertical-align:top;
	position:relative;
	padding-bottom:25px;
	width: 769px;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	
/* Start hide from IE-Mac \*/
* html #mainWrapper{height: 1%;}
/* End Hide from IE-Mac */

#contentMainWrapper {
	text-align:left;
	position:relative;
	top:0em;
	width:769px;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	
	#centerColumnWrapper, #centerColumnWrapperb  {
	width:69.9em;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	
	#centerColumnOuter {
	margin:0 .5em;
	width:70em;
	height:15px;
		white-space: nowrap;
	}

#centerColumnWrapper2 {
	margin:0 .5em;
	width:70em;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}

#centerColumnWrapper2b {
	margin:0 auto;
	overflow:hidden;
	width:70em;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	
	#centerColumnOuter {
/*	background:url(../images/headerborder.gif) repeat-y; 
*/	}
	
#centerColumnWrapper2{
	background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	* html #centerColumnWrapper, * html #centerColumnWrapperb, * html #headerWrapperb, * html #headerWrapperc, * html #dropMenuWrapperc, * html #dropMenuWrapperd, * html #bottomLine {
    background:none!important; /* Hides the transparent shadows from older versions of IE */
	}
	
* html #centerColumnWrapper2b, *html #centerColumnOuter{
	border:1px solid #999999;
	border-top:none;
		white-space: nowrap;

	}
	
*html #centerColumnOuter {
	border-bottom:none;
	}
	
#centerColumnWrapper {
	background:url(../images/shadowRight.png) repeat-y 100% 0;
	width:69.6em;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}

#centerColumnWrapperb {
	background:url(../images/shadowLeft.png) repeat-y 0 0;
	width:70em;
	white-space: nowrap;

	}
	
#bottomLine {
	background:url(../images/shadowAlpha_bot.png) repeat-x top;
	}

#headerWrapperb {
	background:url(../images/shadowRight.png) repeat-y 100% 0;
	width:70em;
	white-space: nowrap;
	}
	
#headerWrapperc {
	background:url(../images/shadowLeft.png) repeat-y 0 0;
	width:70em;
	}
	
#headerWrappera {
	width:70em; /* change to width:70em; or 100%for narrow header*/
	margin:0 auto;
	text-align:center;
	}
	
#headerWrapper {
	width:769px;
	text-align:center;
	margin:0 auto;
	/*background:#999fff;*/
	}

Just a place to start, first get rid of your CSS errors.
You can validate the CSS at this website:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

I noticed that you have un-commented non-CSS (plain text that should be commented out) in your stylesheet (I downloaded the entire thing off your site) and also that you use styles like top-margin and topmargin which neither are recognized style declarations and you use style properties like float: center which is not a valid property...the list goes on.

The crux of your problem is in the #mainWrapper div id style block, but with all the other errors here there's too many contributing factors to fix before narrowing down the specific issue.

Good luck
