IE completely wrecks my design, refusing to float the sidenav to the right.

Any ideas how I could possibly fix this?

Hey all,

Thanks for the replies.  The issue has been solved by using a decedant
selector to hide the correct width from IE.

Joseph Lindsay provided the solution:

        #sideNav {
                width: 223px; /*fixed for IE */
                margin-left: 453px;
                background: #cdd2e0;
                border-top: 20px solid #FFF;
                text-align: left;
        }
        
        #wrapper>#sidenav {
                width: 225px; /* corrected for compliant browsers */
        }

Thanks Joe!

Cheers
Darren
