1000 px div changes size as I add content elsewhere on the page

Hi IE Folk,

I have a 1000 px wide div and as I add content elsewhere on the page it changes in size a little (say about 5%).

Is this correct / expected  / normal behavior ? 

Should a 1000 px div always occupy EXACTLY 1000 pixcels on screen ?

I also notice that with Zoom set to 100% on both IE and on Chrome that the image is smaller on the screen in Chrome ?  Why is that and shouldn't they be the same ?

Thanks
