In general, in IE, problems of that nature have to do with content which is too wide for its containing element – either in the main section or the sidebar.
You’d need to provide a site link so those who are willing to surf with IE can take a look.
That the damnable thing of it all, too, is that the majority of surfers are using IE, so cross-browser compatability is imperative.
V is right… the sidebar is too wide. IE handles some margins and paddings differently. I won’t go into it all here. Post your link.
S’why I develop using xammp locally – I WON’T use IE at unknown sites online….

There are two things that could be at fault here. Most likely, your sidebar is too wide and is breaking somehow; you will need to double-check all of your mathematics. If you’re using percentage widths in the CSS for the widths, sometimes rounding errors can cause the problem: 50% and 50% doesn’t always add up to 100% in a CSS renderer- sometimes it can actually be like 100.2% and cause this problem. Try shifting widths down to 48% and see if that helps. There’s also a really hackjob way of fixing it, and that’s to set overflow on the div to overflow: hidden;, but that will only work if the box itself isn’t what’s breaking the width.
If widths are seemingly not at fault, and you’re using IE5.x, you’ve probably hit the notorious box model bug. Check out Tantek’s box model hack to fix that.
