Ok, I seem to have solved the problem. Apparently setting a width in IE does not cooperate with floating things. In a selector buried in my stylesheet I found a selector that set the width of p.indent to 95% to solve a problem I was having earlier in development. Thanks to all of you who helped me. I appreciate it very, very much.

Do you use the web developer extension of Firefox? That will help you a lot in seeing what CSS rules apply to each element. Of course, it's better to keep your stylesheets clean and structured so that you don't have to spend a lot of time wondering how each element gets styled. But in cases you're not sure, the web dev extension works wonders.

About IE and floats: it does work. However, there are a couple of bugs you have to be aware of. Positioniseverything.net has them listed and explained.

Yes, I do, but I also use firebug, which is even better
