This is a rather interesting looking bug. I don't have your specific
answer, however I do have some tips toward getting an answer.
1. Validate your html and css. 9 times out of 10, fixing these
errors makes the problem go away.
2. Separate your style from the html. You have mixed html
presentational attributes with your css. IE will follow the
presentational attributes, other browsers will give priority to the
css. You get a headache.
3. If steps 1 and 2 don't fix the problem, make a copy of your page
and start removing content until the bug disappears. then put back
the last thing you cut out. this is the start of a test case that you
can bring to the list. You will get much faster and more accurate
answers from the 'gurus' on the list if you follow these steps.
PS. This looks like a rewrite of a table based layout of yore. If
that is the case I highly recommend that you start from scratch rather
than try to retrofit. Starting your html from scratch will result in
cleaner, simpler code and will actually be faster to create and more
efficient.
