Sorry no answer to the problem... But your services div has a margin left of 197 and your splitter one has a margin left of 200. The splitter seems to be pushing out as well in ie5.0, im not sure why that is. Probably the width of the feature or services div becomes smaller in ie5 and so its out of whack.
Also with regards to your box model hacks, if you haven't used a left or right padding/margin, ie5 and 6 should read the width as the same non? So no need to use the hack? Or does ie5 put some stupid 2 pixel space in for some reason? How come you decided to use float and abosolute positioning? I would have thought to only use one or the other, not together. It is sitting within the main div already so would float: right take care of the positioning using a specific margin and width? Or does it break the layout? Site looks awesome btw, shadows are nicely done imo.

I then use absolute positioning to float the #feature div to the right of the #services div, however the correct top & left values seem to differ between IE and Mozilla/Opera. I've managed to get it basically perfect in IE6, but there is small 2-3 pixel discrepancy in Mozilla and Opera (haven't had a chance to check on Safari yet *shudder*) down the left side of the right column. I'm guessing that its to do with how I've made the columns inside a column layout, but I can't work out a better way to do it. Is what I am trying to do not suited to CSS positioning? Or is there a better way to do it?
