I agree IE has a different interpretation of margin than other browsers but
in Seona's case the "width: 100%;" is more to blame. The following
modification also solves the nav bar position problem:

/****  Order Form  ****/
.order {
        margin: 5px 40px;
        /* width: 100%; */
}

Why this affects the layout in a sibling block container is beyond me. Must
be another IE bug. 

Also, Seona, you would do well to validate your pages at

Subject: Re: [WSG] Form playing havoc with nav (maybe)

Hello,

your table is the MAJOR PROBLEM, like always, try to del your .order :
margin and you will see. The table is forcing the div#container in
(IE) and sow  the nav had other position.

But if you try you have many ways of pass over this like take.

1 - delete margin  of .order and give a width: 90%
2 - #content { text-align: center } or padding-left: 40px

I try always to not use margin, cause left and right margin have
different behaviors in browsers.
