Unsurprising, this is due to IE's total screwup work on the box model.
Because you used position: absolute, the body div is supposed to shrink
to just be wide enough to contain all the content (this is what Mozilla
is doing). But IE obviously doesn't listen there, and expands the DIV out.
While we're discussing that, I have to ask why the body DIV is
absolutely positioned anyway. The top margin will push it below the
content regardless of that, and without the absolute positioning, the
DIV should stretch out like you want.
