It seems to be a width problem. I reduced the #maincontent to 480px and it fits on IE. You might be able to increase the size some, the 480 was a first attempt.

I'm curious as to why if you want 2 columns you just don't make 2 columns and float both nav and maincontent. The layout doesn't seem to call for the margin-left approach but the margin vs float choice is often personal.

I'm being driven nuts. Pulling out my hair. I cannot get this to work
in IE and can't figure out where I'm going wrong. If I float:left
the #maincontent, I lose my background image because #wrapper has no
height. IE does not want to honor something. The #mainecontent should
move up around the floated #nav. Do I need a :clear? Hoping someone
is working away somewhere.
