Hi Scott,

It looks your IE trouble stems from this:
#conent p {
        margin-top: 0px;
        padding-top: 0px;
        width: 600px;
        margin-right: auto;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-bottom: 0px;
}
The width setting on that paragraph makes the paragraph encapsulate a
floated child element. This is sometimes sought out, often for multi
column layouts.

In your case, it's causing the paragraph to behave in a manner opposite
of what is expected. To fix it, you need to prevent "hasLayout" from
occurring on the paragraph. In this case, theoretically this should do
it (barring something else I didn't see in the stylesheet):
#conent p {
        margin-top: 0px;
        padding-top: 0px;
        width: auto;
        margin-right: 104px;
        margin-left: 103px;
        margin-bottom: 0px;
}
...and I didn't test it on my Windows system, so I can't say for sure
that it'll work.

Hope it helps.
