>From a quick look is it possible that the width of the main content is
being rendered as wider in IE, and therefore not clearing the side
navigation. The content seems to start where the left nav stops. Try
making it a little (or a lot) narrower to see if this is the problem.

Adam,

Thanks for the help. Ive tried adding those declarations to the CSS -
you
can see the page live now - it didn't seem to make much difference.

Appears that the top of "content" lines up with with the bottom of

Do you need target? If not, I'd probably remove it. It's valuable 
bandwidth. :P

How does it go if you set

[css]
#secondlevelnav
   {
     display: inline;
     float: left;
   }

#content
   {
     display: inline;
     float: right;
   }
[/css]

Leaving your markup as is?

I noticed you have currently have them set as "display: block;"

OT: I posted some stuff in the [css] & [/css] boxes. I'm posting another

message about that now.
