Anyone know how i can stop CSS sliding when viewed in IE5? They don't slide
in NS7, Opera 8 or Firefox 1.0.3.

Sliding *what*? I don't quite understand what you're referring to...

Possibly the content wrapping and going down the page when there is
not enough space?
A url might help, and there are so much more good people on css-d for
this kind of problem.

Sorry, its at www.newchaletclub.co.uk
The left nav panel is fine, but the right contents panel often slides down
so it starts, aligned correctly, but below the nav panel. It seems to be
random and just as suddenly corrects itself as it slips down the page!

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.

Even though I have used percentages rather than absolute widths in the
floats? I try to avoid absolute settings where possible when it comes to
text out of personal preferences.

Yes, as you can see it does happen even with percentages.
And as I said, try to be explicit in specifying a zero padding,
as browsers are left to apply their (often inconsistent) defaults.

percentages are fine.
At a guess its your chalet school webring box that is causing the
problem, as that is not resizable, try removing it to test wether that
fixes the problem. You could remove it from that div and place it in a
new div after the floats.

Its not just that page, it happens on others too, but the suggestion of
putting the webring code in a seperate div is one I hadnt thought of, thanks.

The real problem that you are fighting is the the IE5 box model is
broken, so in reality you are dealing with a different width in IE5 than
you are other browsers. There are a variety of ways to mitigate this
problem. I would suggest you check out http://www.alistapart.com as a
starting point or just google box model.

So try the other suggestions. Ben was merely making the (valid) point that
your question would probably be better answered in a venue more tailored to
your question.
