simple horizontal slide panel - IE7 DOM, Jquery

I'm trying to have a simple slide panel move in from the left and overlay the main content to the right. This works as I want it in FF, but in IE the main content is pushed further to the right, instead of remaining in place.

Perhaps this question is more about me not understanding the DOM, but any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,

your #panel should be absolute positioned, not relative. That will allow it to flow over the other content without interrupting it.

Making #panel absolute positioned fixes the shifting of the text, but the "Slide Panel" shifter now doesn't move...
