Crazy IE Rendering Bug
I was about to push out a new version of Pudding last night, but then I came across this bizarre rendering bug in IE. I've been spot checking Pudding in IE during it's development, but I don't think I've ever hit this screen before.
Does anyone have a clue as to why IE would act like this? (Other than the fact that's a POS. :) )
The bug appears in IE6 & 7. Here is a little comparison between Safari and IE. (It looks as-expected in Firefox.) I've got the doctype tag set to XHTML Strict.

Hi Michael,
Your markup doesn't validate against the XHTML Strict DOCTYPE, so all bets are off as far as rendering behaviour is concerned. For a start you have somehow managed to end up with two <html> tags!
Hi John,
Step 1 in my debugging efforts tonight are to start reviewing the validation errors.
As for 2 html tags, that's crazy! I'll definitely be looking into that.
Thanks!
