IE7 CSS Floating Issues

I'm having issues with a site I'm designing in IE7, particularly with medium to lower sized resolutions. There's a nav element floated to the left in a div, #content_inside. #page, holding actual content, then fits around the floated nav. Now, with particular resolutions, the #page content drops down below nav, which doesn't make sense since #page is not a floated element at all. I've included a link below for reference.

The other issue is the way IE7 is rendering images, those most affected being at the bottom of the page. The edges seem choppy and low-quality. Is this a known issue? It doesn't appear in any other browser on any other platform.

I believe the floating issue may occur in other IE versions, as well.

I didn't notice any of this until I viewed the website at the client's workplace, where they're running IE7 on Windows XP. I've tried plenty of fixes and the problems persist, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

PS - If it helps, the site is done in HTML5.

I have to be honest, this seems simple enough for you not to be running into issues like this.

With respect to HTML5, I recommend you read this article for dealing with IE7.

It seems that you have not given this page a width. Is that on purpose?

I wrote a standard simple way of creating a 2 column layout that I think can help you out.

Hope this all made sense.

Change your #page

#page{
    padding: 185px 10% 32px 350px;
}

to

#page
{
    margin-top: 185px;
    margin-left: 350px;
}

Its better to use margin for these sorts of things.

Would it be easier to use another div tag instead of the nav tag? IE may not recognize this because it's HTML5.
