Ratings and Text alignment does not work in explorer

The following page can be seen correctly aligned in chrome but not in explorer. If I remove the ratings function it aligns correctly in both. How can I fix this code to have proper alignment in explorer? Thanks!!

CODE

<?php
      $args = array(
	'post_parent' => $post->ID,
	'post_type' => 'page',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'numberposts'     => 0,
	'order'=> 'ASC',
	'orderby' => 'title'
);
	 $postslist = get_posts($args);
     foreach ($postslist as $post) :
        setup_postdata($post);?>
        <div class="portfolio_box">
        <div>
        <?php if (  (function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())  ) { the_post_thumbnail(array( 100,100 ), array( 'class' => 'alignleft' )); } ?>
        <h2><a>"><?php the_title(); ?> </a></h2>
        </div>

	<div class="indexexcerpt" >
	<strong><?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?></strong>
        <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <div style="text-align:right">[ <a>">Read more</a> ]</div>
        </div>

        <div class="divider"> </div>
        </div>

     <?php endforeach; ?>
