css problems :(

[Jimbo]

Hi, really need help with some layout problems on various versions of
IE.

The website is TOOTUTIM. com, and it renders fine in chrome and
firefox, but IE seems to misinterpret a lot of the css layout code.

I apologise for the poor coding in advance, its mostly handwritten has
had a lot of 'quick fixes' due to constant change demands from the
client.

The main issue is the positioning of the content:

- the site has a general background that should stretch and repeat
across larger screens

- the page-content is held within a centralised div, which contains:
-- a div with the various content-backgrounds side by side (which
slide along as the user navigates to accompany the travelling theme)
-- another floating div containing the menu
-- another div that should float on top of the content-backgrounds but
under the menu, within which the content loads via ajax. this div
should remain in the center of the page-content's div the whole time

-IE keeps grouping the content with the content-backgrounds, sliding
the content on and off the screen :(

i have tried so many different css hacks and 'fixes', but have limited
testing capabilities, as this is an appengine site built on my pre-
intel mac, and i have to borrow friends' laptops to test in IE
