Well I had to state the obvious, so that we are sure we can help you
if you cooperate with the doctors ;o)

Also. Youe experience is telling you the right thing: you need a pair
of fresh eyes.

And a simpler page that shows the same problem.
" ... is there any tool
out there to extract the actual generated HTML.."
I always use "File --> Save Page As" from the browser.
Which I then vivisect in VisualStudio debugger.

BTW: when you point your IE6/7 to http://dbjsystems.com/jq/ , the
jQuery.support.boxModel is false, yes ? jQ can not gurantee consistent
positioning and dimensioning if boxModel is false. I suppose ...
