Paul,

I've taken a quick look, and from a quick test, the following fixes
the layout problem in IE:

Change the #container width to 752px

Change #navbar50 to the following:

#navbar50 {
display: inline;
width: 562px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: #eee;
}

Add in:

#navbar50 a{
float: left;
width: 188px;
}

That will now display the three images beside each other.

To stop horizontal scrolling, you now need to bring in the width of
#leftnav and the image inside it a couple of pixels (4px - i think)

Also, that series of about 50 break tags in a row is very strange -
I'm not sure why they are in there, and they don't need to be if you
rework the floats a little.
