The fact that it's IE only make me doubt that the root of the problem
is mistakes in the css. Are you familiar with IE's many aggravating
float bugs? This may be obvious advice, but start by validating both
html and css _in the Typo3 rendered page_, and ensuring that IE is not
being kicked into quirks mode by something like an xml prologue or
blank line before the doctype declaration. For that matter, make sure
you're using a complete doctype too...
