Internet Explorer (6 but I've seen 7 acting up as well) doesn't know where
'right' is. It always computes that based on the nearest container that
'hasLayout' [1] and is positioned. In your case, I think it is <body> (I
haven't gone through all of your stylesheets).

giving the parent <p> 'layout' _might_ solve the issue.

Why not a <table> ?
