I've had somewhat similar experiences with IE and (i can't believe
I'm saying this!) IE was not really to blame. Not completely anyway.
Long story short IE does a MUCH better job if the html validates to
the DTD of your page. I always use XHTML 1.0, transitional or strict,
but I don't know if that has any impact vs. HTML 4.
If there are errors in you html, IE can just go NUTS in ways that
seem totally unrelated to the location or severity of the error.
Safari and Moz just chug right along on the same page. Apparently
from what I've read it's something to do with IE's "Quirks Mode".
Once it gets confused, it will get real creative on you.

Welcome to the nightmare of IE6. Ideally you should not have to
create a custom stylesheet for IE, often it is a matter of tweaking
your CSS rules so that they work more or less work correctly with
IE. Google searches sometimes turn of clues.
A good resource is www.positioniseverything.net. If you know a very
experienced web designer, they often can guide you through these
things (I have one I use if you need help).
