Inconsistency between Firefox and IE

Yay, another IE and Firefox inconsistency...we sure don't have enough of those.
This is a little personal page I wrote and I thought I would have a sort of cool floating right navigation.

In firefox the navigation floats to the right half-way over the content as it should, but in IE it pushes everything down.

If I were you I would place the sidebox inside the other one and use negative margin to pull it outside the box a little.
And be sure to read about the differences in box-model interpretation between modern browsers and IE-versions.

Ok, but the only problem with that is the content on the left won't be diverted around the navigation, it will be partially under it.

Do you have a picture of what you want to achieve? What is the difference between "diverted under the navigation" and "partially under it"?
Should it be two columns of boxes? Or, as I understood at first, should the sidebox be over the right edge partially?
As a sidenote: it's better to markup your text with p, headers with h1, h2, h3, h4, lists with ul and ol, etc.

By text being diverted, I mean this:

It goes around the navigation, your previous suggestion would make it go under the navigation.
