Many older browsers don't understand HTML5 tags like section and use the fallback of treating them as inline items in the flow of the document.

IE goes a step beyond this and totally ignores HTML5 tags. To fix this, you'll need to add the tags to the document via Javascript. Fortunately, there's a very nice HTML5Shiv that you can embed in the head of your html like so:

Any IE less than IE9 will now use this script to enable the common HTML5 blocks.

You will still need to use CSS to make the tags display as blocks. I use:

    article,aside,details,figcaption,figure,
    footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section { 
            display:block;
    }
