Use the W3 validator and markup (fiddle with the options) and it will give you the source from your site, but fixed, so it should work in all, or most browsers...
http://validator.w3.org/

And you can check full broswer compatibility here...
http://browsershots.org/

Ideally you need to try and figure out what is causing the problem, as sometimes IE isn't very friendly about certain code. You may need to use a piece of IE Fix code in the head of your html file if you're using certain Javascript somewhere along.

And yeah, browsershots will definitely help like Bio said.

Don't abuse margins imho. Use them but don't abuse them. I think IE has dif margins.

If you can show me the problem I may be able to help you more but I think that you should check it in a validator. I've heard that some validators tell you your problems but I haven't come across one yet so you'll have to have guesses at it and keeping checking the validator every time you edit it. As i said, if you can show me the problem I will be of more use.

First off what you need to do is check what parts of your layout are stuffed in IE. Then you need to create a stylesheet for IE, and alter the code.

Done.
