SSRS Reports Render Different in IDE and IE7/6

I have created several reports in SSRS 2005 that contain a custom layout (no grids). Just textboxes, panels, labels, etc...

The problem I see is that the reports render perfectly inside the IDE (via the Preview tab) as well as when exported to PDF. However, when viewed on the web with IE7 or Firefox, the rendering looks like crap with textboxes not aligned, space between textboxes, etc...

I have triple checked that I don't have any objects overlapping, went through ALL textboxes & labels and ensured that ALL of them have the CanShrink and CanGrow properties set to FALSE.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Basically, the web reports look like crap unless exported to PDF.

Are you using the ReportViewer control? I'm guessing not, but if you are, here is a post: http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/sql-server-2005-reporting-services-reportviewer-control-and-ie7/

Otherwise it's probably this issue: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2006/09/01/SQL-Reporting-Services-_2D00_-CSS-fix-for-Firefox.aspx. IE7 and Firefox are fairly similar in how they render certain things, while the Preview tab in BIDS uses an older rendering engine.
