Left column displays all the way to the left (off page) in IE

The left column displays fine consistently in Firefox but in IE the left column is all the way left (off the page) when it comes up as .com/index.php.

I thought it was happening only with the www version of my site SO I redirected (using htaccess) to http://(sitename).com to try to avoid the problem. Now I see it there too.

I think it may be ONLY happening (that I know about) in IE AND when the home page comes up it with .com/index.php. When it loads in IE with .com, I think it is displaying properly. When I hit refresh and click on links if often starts displaying properly.

My site is http://www.inlikeme.com

BTW, I first noticed this after I began to make to try to make the site more search engine friendly with changes to htaccess and global redirect module running as well as pathauto. I don't know if there is a relationship maybe resulting from redirects....

If it in fact only taking place with index.php, how can I avoid that?? See: http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-safely-redirect-indexp...

I am launching my site and this is of critical importance. Thank you!

Thanks Dman for the htmlcorrection module suggestion and introduction to the validation program. I am a newbie, just learning and trying my best! I appreciate your help. I was not trying to mislead anyone -- just attempting to explain the situation to the best of my ability.

no worries -- I appreciate your reply and thank you for introducing me to the to the validation program. I corrected most of the errors (down to 10 from 26) but still see the "problem" sporadically in IE for both http://inlikeme.com and /index.php. (so it's not a index.php issue -- my bad) Looks like the program isn't "happy" with taxonomy and some stuff at the end. I know know where that "stuff" emanated from and can't seem to troubleshoot the last few messages. BTW, I just started working with Drupal a few months ago and I am am far from proficient at HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP etc!! Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.

Thanks for your input, but I am stumped. Doctype? How do I do that? Should I reinstall the theme? How do you suggest I proceed? Much appreciated.

At one point, I don't recall what I was doing at the time (perhaps trying to install the new google admanager manager that I gave up on! -- I tried to add some lines to the template.php and then took them out) when I started seeing occasional white screens and thought it was a memory error. I didn't wittingly do any thing to the wrapper. I am not even sure what that is! I am not sure I can track it down... Any ideas? Thanks.

One more thought -- I am using FCK editor. Could that be messing things up? I was copying from word but then switched to google docs removing most of the formatting. I thought I was a decent troubleshooter but this has got me!! Thanks for your help...
