If you really want somebody to help you than you should help them as well.
As Beauregard wrote, you put up more than 1MB of images on your site and you
asked to point out the differences between IE and FF. That's almost 3MB of
download in order to get a preview of your problem.
Also you should state the problem more clearly, "layout doesn't work" is not
a good description.
Well, I have some spare time and I looked into both of your layouts, and
thought your problem could be "fixed" background, not fixed in IE?
Remove your div#body tag, and change body background attachment to
background-position: left top;. If you need to keep up the settings from
#body tag, just copy them into body tag.
Also, IE does not handle transparent png, consider .jpg, gif or adjust image
background to your needs.
If you had some other problem, please shrink your images and state the
situation more clearly.
Regards,
