IE bug — no space between category and author

My site is having a problem adding a space between a post’s category and the ‘written by’ intro. It displays fine in Firefox, but in IE the display looks like this:

Filed under Categoryby Author.

How can I get IE to recognize that space?

Site is http://speakspeak.org

PHP code is as follows:

—-

<div class=”post”>
<h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”meta”><?php _e(“Filed under”); ?> <?php the_category() ?> by <?php the_author() ?> — <?php the_time(‘m/d/Y’); ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(); ?></div>

<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

<div class=”feedback”>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</div>

—-

Thanks for the help!
