I am having some issues with IE getting a layout design to work and I would
like to see if anybody can offer any pointers before this drives me nuts.
The issue I am running into is that I have a box which has a fluid width
(90% of the page). Within that box, I am attempting to absolutely place
another box at the very top, but with a 14px margin on both the left and
right side. The following CSS rules work just fine in FireFox ....

No absolute positioning is needed, and is best avoided in positioning
the base foundation structure of a page. Absolute positioning, if needed
at all, is usually reserved for positioning small elements within a
foundation, or float based, structure. So maybe just make like a big
box, and sort of gently place smaller boxes in it. Something like this
