Question 2 column Page Layout works in Firefox but not IE

Hi
I have a 2 column page layout in XHTML and CSS which displays fine in Firefox but not in IE. In IE version 7, the 2nd column appears way down the screen on the RHS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached both html and css file.

Because both colums are 50%, and IE gives a default margin I expect. Try making them both 48% and see if that helps.

No worries. Remember, all Widths should always add up to 98 or 99%, to account for IE which is nasty and horrible with CSS & Widths.
