The bugs you are encountering are in your code, not the browser.

There are conflicting rules for #sidebar1, forcing browses to guess.
You have a "float" declaration followed by "position: absolute;"
- but you have no position specified, forcing browsers to guess.
Delete the float declaration, and give it the "top" and "left" that
you want, and browsers will then agree.

Declaring  base font in EMs triggers the "extreme font sizing" bug
in IE. I suggest you use a base font of 100%, or you may have other
problems with text sizes.

As has been mentioned, you have errors in both HTML and CSS.
I suggest you validate before posting your next query.

Cordially,
David
