IE Compatibility

[beggarsbones]

my site is having issues with IE 7 and below that make it unusable. (www.beggarsbones.com/store)

what SEEMS to be going on is that in IE my logoWrapper is not staying to its size (fixed ~280x280), or IE isnt listening and it is laying blank background over my center column. (see attachment : ie)

i commented out the logowrapper altogether to see if that was my issue, and the center content is still cut off in the same place, just moved up - see attachment: sanslogowrapper. this is making me think it is not just the logowrapper.

i've been playing around with conditional comments to talk to IE 8 and have seen changes, but have not been able to determine where or what i need to make it work. i'm assuming this is the way to go, as it works fine in most non-ie browsers.

any help is much appreciated!!!
