No style problems can cause that. You've just shifted the problem around
a bit. Edit: I just read you're including google maps code, that'll be
what's doing it.

The problem is that some code is trying to dynamically create DOM
elements before the page is complete (i.e. before the </body> tag). IE
won't tolerate this.

Have you tried using document.write("<\/body>"); ?

If that doesn't work, then I'd just put the </body> tag inline as it
should be and deal with Firefox's problem. I haven't read all the posts
in this thread so I don't know details of what the problem is there.
