David, It wasn't an IE issue as much as what I stated earlier about how to keep the page in realation to the view port. The 62.5% font size in body style is relative to the width of the wrapper. Changing it would probably break the design when the text size is increased in browsers.
I'm going to look into the jello layout and see if that can accomodate my wishes.
