I think maybe the problem is that when you take the sidebar out of the
content flow (by giving it an absolute value) IE asks how to
horizontally position it and sees that its parent element (the body
tag) says to give it a auto left and right margin. So I would maybe
give an extra wrapper around all the content and give it a relative
position that doesn't change your layout, then give the sidebar a left
position of 0px.

Its tricky stuff, and I don't know if that works without playing with
it.
