    I have seen this issue in a few sites that I have done in the past and have yet to find a workable solution for the problem.

    If you view it in FF you'll see where the header ends there is no spacing to the body area. If you veiw it in IE you'll notice a 2 to 3 pixel break for some reason. I have cleared both columns but it's still there?

    This one has thrown me for a loop...

    I am going to assume that you utilized a relative (...or absolute) positioning in your CSS with top and left positioning.
    If so, then you may have to set the top position to what works in IE, say 2 or 3 pixels less, and then use the child selector hack from Andy Budd's 'CSS Mastery" book: e.g. 'html>body' to declare the browser-compliant top declaration.
    IE will use the initial one and ignore the child selector one as IE 5/6 and below does not support the child selector.
    This may clear up your problem.

    Thanks!
