I am developing my company website with full XHTML/CSS, and it is displaying 110% perfect in Mozilla and Safari under Windows/Mac/whatever other OS you can think of.
IE however is not even close to how it should be displaying. It is completely different, all messed up, simple CSS menus not appearing at all, and each different version of the IE browser makes it look even worse.
Im sure I'm not the only person that has ever came across this, but what do people do to get around this?
IE is a total nightmare

IE just does not, and never has conformed to any set standards, and instead always opt for there own set and make people 'adjust to suit them'
Same with there operating systems tbh, complete and utter farce that you have to constantly upgrade to do this & that.
You can google IE dirty CSS hacks & fixes, but why should you have to work around a buggy insecure browser if your conforming to the set standard, just because there devs are just to god damned lazy to write something decent.

Try coding as close to xhtml strict as you can, this normally minimalises the differences, Also remember to pre define certain syntax's margins and padding for example
H tags, From tags, p tags, table tags. etc.

Still flaky at best, especially when combining with CSS & Div (which is what CSS was all about was it not??)

I had this problem with a website i did recently...
I just had to position everything exactly rather than using percents etc
IE is just a pain tbh, but as 50% of people still insist on using it you have to make sacrifices

I've had this problem too, there are hacks for most issues but it's a pain.

I always code in Firefox then have to hack it up a bit to fix in IE, right pain!
Strict seems to fix things slightly, but still far from perfect.

You shouldnt be using %'s for anything really anyway..
I very rarely have problems with cross browser rendering?
