Read this stuff for a complete explaination: http://positioniseverything.net/articles/float-bugs-1.html http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatmodel.html The thing that results in this browser variance is the widths on #sidebar and .sbcontent, which IE and Opera see as a green light to violate the float specs. I stongly advise you to remove those widths, and then you won't need the large 'left' offset on #sidebar to make Moz look good. The others will then also look the same as Moz. Also you can then reapply that commented left margin on #sidebar, which will then do what it is supposed to do. I've gotten used to seeing M$ sabotage the web, but to see Opera imitating them is very unsettling to me. IE is slowly but surely warping CSS into something stupid and difficult, just because no one can stop them.
