Ok, but it looks like you're trying to hack the livin' daylight out of
poor IE...

...and that's not a good start - especially since most of those hacks
are not doing any good in IE or elsewhere.

Styling faulty source-code...

...also has a tendency to fail...

The problem with all these code-weaknesses is that all browsers will try
to "repair" them in different ways, and indeed: your pages turns out
differently in every browser on earth and varies wildly even between
versions of same browser.

No use looking for the cause of one specific failure among all the
others in such a case. Better start from scratch and pay attention to
web standards while you're at it, and avoid all hacks until you've made
it work without any in the good browsers.


There's also an enormous amount of unnecessary wrapper-elements in the
source-code, of which most seem to be used to create minute offsets in
the line-up. Margins on the meaningful elements are better suited for that.
