You're 'absolute positioning' everything (something I'd generally advice
against), but _positions_ are missing so IE lose track of where the
starting-point should be. IE isn't good at calculating 'auto', which is
the default.
In this case an additional...
#title {left: 0;}
...will be enough, but in most cases both horizontal and vertical
position should be declared. See...
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/visuren.html#position-props>
...for details.
Those margins are normally not necessary when absolute positioning, and
are zero by default so no need to declare them _at_ zero. Margins can be
useful for further manipulation of position - once you have a
starting-point for the absolute positioned element.
