Without even looking at it, I'll say it's a float issue.
When there's not enough space for the two floats to sit side
by side, the second float drops down to accommodate. Older versions
of IE are notorious for it, particularly when the width of the
individual floats is too tight.

Looking at your CSS now, no time to test, but I'd try making
the #leftnav just a tad smaller, and explicitly setting
padding of 0 for #leftnav, #contents, #innerdiv.
