fixed header/footer, fluid content IE8

i have a 2 column layout with fixed header, footer, and sidebar.
the 2 columns are content and sidebar, where content fills the remaining space between header, footer, and sidebar and self-adjusts on resize.

works fine in IE8, but sidebar overlaps header and footer in all other browsers. here is the URL, please view source code :
http://paimap.com/index2.html

any help would be greatly appreciated...

Why do you have everything positioned? It's completely unnecessary. IE, unfortunately, is still not a good measure of how a site should properly render. Make it work in all other GOOD browsers and then 'fix' for IE.
