IE inappropriately sees whitespace as content.

Get rid of the breaks between the ends of nested elements, e.g.:

		</div>
	</div>
<//div>

should be

</div></div></div>

or </li></ul> and so forth.

This is about as common as the box-model bug, but harder to track  
down if you don't already know about it -- since you don't know what  
to search for  :)

Give it a shot.  Hope that helps.
