A classic problem: due to IE's bugs, it displays the page incorrectly, but as 
required. It's only natural to blame the non-IE browsers in this kind of 
situation, but developing for one of those browsers first is a generally 
recommended approach.

In this specific case, your problem is that the container #sidefod doesn't 
expand to contain its children (.split_right and .split_left) because they are 
floated. If you're ever curious as to WHY this behaviour is ingrained in CSS, 
check out [1]).

There are various methods of clearing the floats, some of which involve extra 
(non-semantic) markup, some additional CSS. Try searching the web for 
"self-clearing floats" for example. One quick and easy solution is to add 
'overflow: auto' to #sidefod, but please read up about some of the alternatives 
first, because there are various side-effects of each method, and you'll want 
to use the right one.
