But how come IE can still display this correctly?

I am sorry to come across as bad tempered, but: Display what correctly?

A bug report needs things:

    What you were doing?
    What you observed?
    What you expected?

I can't get any traction on your problem without insight into what 
you expected, and what you observed.

What I did, was to point out that your page's design was in error.
Unfortunately, I have invariably found that criticising a man's HTML is
about as useful as criticising his driving; but I don't see any obvious
alternative to telling you to fix every one of your page's errors,
and come back with a small testcase. If there is such an alternative,
kindly let me know.

If it helps, note that a bug report whose meat is "The page looks different 
in IE" is just begging to be closed as INVALID by the very first person
with the power to do so who comes along. Try to think of my criticism as
a free gratis benefit of the Bugzilla experience

Please fix the errors in your page, and/or provide a short testcase.

I don't own this site.  I have no control over it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
