You put up a transitional doctype doc, it does not validate and
the errors can be seen via http://validator.w3.org/ and
at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Best to fix these before peering into the murky waters of IE size
calculations.


Yes, thanks. But they are topmargin, leftmargin in BODY tag or omitted
ALT tag. Is this is a serious problem?

I only saw the number of errors and the first one (which you omit
to ask if it is serious) before replying. The first listed was:

Line 8, Column 6: required attribute "TYPE" not specified.

<style>

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've
used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and
XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the
"script" element

I was just remarking on it, and thinking that if someone was able
to look into IE 5 and your code, it would encourage them if you
had your mark up kosher. Given you are obviously a keen css
stylesheeter, what motivated you to include those layout
instructions in <body...>? You using a generator?
