I have some html:

<body>
    <h1 id="header"></h1>
    <div id="container">
      <div id="left">
      </div>
      <div id="content">
        <div id="titlebar">
          <span id="date">Novermber 13, 3414</span>
          <span id="title"> The importance of being earnest.</span>
          <span id="author">HG Wellwhocares</span>
        </div>
        <iframe id="memo" />
        <div id="attachments"></div>
        <p id="description"></p>
        <div id="action">
          <div id="accept">Accept</div>
          <div id="revise">Revise</div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

And some css:

#container{
  width: 85%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background: gray;
}
#left{
  float: left;
  width: 20%;
  padding: 1%;
}
#left:after{
  clear: both;
}
#content{
  margin-left: 22%;
  background: silver;
  padding: 3em;
}
#titlebar{
  text-align: center;
}
#date{
  float: left;
}
#title{
  clear: both;
}
#author{
  float: right;
}
#memo{
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 500px;
}

There is also this jQuery:

  months = new Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
  $(document).ready(function(){
    items = new Array();
    $.getJSON('_vti_bin/listdata.svc/BOTMemos?$orderby=MeetingDate', function(data){
      date = "";
      $.each(data.d.results, function(index, value){
        if(value.MeetingDate!=null){
          if(value.MeetingDate!=date){
            if(date!=""){
              $('#left').append('<hr />');
            }
            item = new Array(value.MeetingDate, value.Title0, value.Checkers);
            date = value.MeetingDate;
            month = months[parseInt(date.substring(5,7), 10)-1];
            formattedDate = month + " " + date.substring(8,10) + ", " + date.substring(0, 4);
            $('#left').append('<h1>'+formattedDate+'</h1>');
          }
          $('#left').append('<h2 class="memo">'+value.Title0+'</h2>');
        }
      });
    });
  });

Which result in two different layouts, this in ie9:
Internet Explorer 9 render of page
And this in ie7:
Internet Explorer 7 render of page
My two questions are:

  1. Why does the text not show up on the left hand side in ie7?
  2. Why do the three <span> tags in the #titlebar div not display side by side in ie7 like they do in ie9?

    Use float:left for date, author and title span like this 

    #titlebar span {
    float:left;
}

    and for text justification use this code also add width:

    #date {
    text-align: left;
    width: 33%;
}
#title{
    text-align: center;
    width: 34%;
}
#author{
    text-align: right;
    width: 33%;
}

    See the Demo in IE7 with updated link: http://jsfiddle.net/rathoreahsan/Jy7Sz/

    EDITED:

    Replace this code with the above:

    #date{
  float: left;
}

#title{
  clear: both;
}

#author{
  float: right;
}
