Floating Divs in IE not floating

If you put side margins/padding on an element with a set width, IE will render the width different from the other browsers. The secret to this is to use two divs, one inside the other. Set the width on the outer div, and the padding/margin on the inner one. This will render the same across browsers.

 

As to how that relates to your problem, it sounds like there isn't enough space to fit both elements in IE, which means that one is bumped below to the next line.
