CSS Positioning Issues

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with positioning with CSS in IE.

If you look at the first photo, everything looks the way it should, but when I change the font size, the positioning gets messed up as shown in the second photo. Here is the css used for the main body:

#main
{
width:96%;
margin:0 auto;
padding-bottom: 20px;
text-align:left;
}
#main h1 { padding: 10px; }
#main .left, #main .right { width:49% }
* html #login #main .left,
* html #login #main .right
{
width:41% !important;
}
#main .left { float:left }






Any help would be greatly appreciated
