Larry, ColdFusion will not return something different to different browsers unless you explicitly tell it to do so. The most likely culprit here is bad HTML, Javascript and CSS. It sounds like an unclosed (or unopened) table tag, a missing quote on an inline style attribute, or something related. Set a doctype (I like <!doctype html>) and and run the W3C validator or an html lint, then try jslint and csslint, you will find the problem with one of these, and if not, just rewrite the html, remove your table tags except where they are literally needed, separate your styles and javascript from your html, and just spruce things up. If there's something about the page that IE doesn't like (and it wouldn't be the first time), move elements around and play with the stylesheet until it does.
