Firefox and IE render absolute positioning differently?

Hello. My website is almost complete, but IE and Firefox seem to render absolute positioning differently, below are the urls to a couple of screenshots. You'll see that in Firefox (the first image), the text lines up on the background, but on IE (the second image), it doesn't.

The page code in question is located at http://xenvault.mygamesonline.org/xenindex.php

I hope that's legal as I'm not advertising, this is a temporary, closed page.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue? Thanks so much.

Yes and no, but in general IE will usually be 'wrong' when measured against Firefox because of IE's laundry list of bugs.

The problem is that you're using position:absolute for all those divs when it is entirely unnecessary. Learn to use the normal document flow and floats and you'll have much better results. Position:absolute removes those elements from the document flow completely.
