Help quick please?!

Hi folks,
I just prematurely announced a site and found an entire column is not showing in IE. It validates for xhtml & css & IE browser check. God, I hate IE.
Any clue why "left" & "leftbottom" wouldn't show in IE? Page is at http://malcs.net/website.htm and relevant css is below.....
Help, please!

#introbox {
float: right;
margin: 20px 50px 20px 200px;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#left {
margin: 30px 5px 0 20px;
font: italic 14px/20px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: 160px;
position: absolute;
clear: left;
}
#leftbottom {
margin: 220px 5px 0 20px;
font: italic 14px/20px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: 160px;
position: absolute;
border: 1px dashed gray;
clear: left;
}
#left p {font: italic 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
clear: both;
}

Add display:inline to the #introbox and then look up the well known IE 'Double margin bug' for explanation.
I guess you wont be jumping the gun in future then?

Thanks a ton, Hugo. Sorry I haven't responded...but the site seemed dead there for a while.
I appreciate your feedback....and no, don't think I'll be making that mistake again.
