Going suicidal over IE7

Alright, I know it has to be something stupid on my end, but for the life of me, I cannot get IE7 to work on this page
http://www.nd.edu/~sub/fa04/home.html
In Windows IE, it screws up the table of contents, and I cannot see why IE7 doesn't stop it.
I have IE7 working here just perfectly fine.
If anyone can look at the home.html code (the IE7 folder is in the "fa04" directory as well) and tell me what on earth is keeping it from rendering as it should in IE Windows, I will buy them lunch. I'm at wits end, and it's not helping that VirtualPC crawls so slow, it takes me 10 minutes just to find out that it still looks bad. Please, I'm dying here.

It's just a box-model issue causing the image to wrap over. IE handles things wrong by keeping the width you specify, no matter what padding etc you give it. Standards based browsers do it properly and add the padding, border thicknesses etc you specify to the over-all width of the 'box'. In order to stop that image from wrapping, make the containing div wider for IE, and possibly do something with the padding.

I know it was something to do with the box model, and the padding and whatnot, but I was under the impression that the IE7 Hack would solve the problems? I guess if I still can't figure it out, I'll play with the box model hack and stuff. Any other ideas on IE7?
And as for lunch, Phil, I'll buy you lunch any day, just for saying my coworker was on crack. This will get you desert.

Update:
I switched to Dreamweaver tonight just to see, and redid the pages from scratch, WITH IE7, and it looks like it worked out alright. Maybe it was something with the way that Dreamweaver puts the div styles into the div tag itself and GoLive put them up top separate, but I won't pretend to understand that much about CSS. Anyway, Dreamweaver runs pretty smooth right now, maybe more so than GoLive, so I think that I'm going to stick it out with Macromedia at least for this site, and take it from there.
