I have a tabbed container on this page: http://www.jamball.com/2012/09/test_5.html that acts funny in old IE. A lot of our customers seem to be unwilling or unable to update their browsers, so is there a way to fix it?

The tabs all spread across and to the right, instead of falling squarely behind one another as the respective tab is chosen. I've added my code below, if that helps. I've tried encasing the container in a fixed table as well as aligning it all to the left. I'm not sure about the floating aspects, and it might even be the position elements.

Any assistance would be awesome. Thanks!

<style type="text/css">

As a team, you may register one at a time or as a group. At least one player must be paid for as the coach or team admin officially registers the team. As an individual, you may enter our free agency to find a team that meets your needs. All players needing jerseys may purchase them at our pre-season League Night or at a listed Sunday location the first few weeks of the season for $55 extra. Our pre-season League Night also give customers a chance to pay in-person and with cash. Please keep an eye on the calendar section towards the bottom of every page of this site for those details and more, and be sure to signup for our mailing list to best stay in the loop.

A lot of our customers seem to be unwilling or unable to update their browsers, so is there a way to fix it?

The answer is NO. Some CSS / CSS3 code won't work in IE. So it will hard to fixed all of the issue.

A example of CSS3

is this:

@import url('../../reset.css');

Read this about @import:

http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/at-import

You can read more about IE CSS bugs:

NO is an answer I can accept. Thank you so much for the response. That definitely helps a great deal. Saves me a great deal of time.
