I feel your pain! I recently went through a ridiculous troubleshoot where I tore everything out of the master page and page layout block by block (this was actually in SharePoint), continuously slimming down the page.

The end result ended up being not having a doc type for the html document (some developer had removed it). The lack of a doctype meant that IE 7 was running in quirks mode and the inline CSS emitted by the JQuery Accordion was behaving funky.

Consider adding:

At the top of your masterpage or html document (if there's not already a doctype defined).

There's actually a whole site dedicated to Quirks Mode behavior. You can check out an article about Quirks Mode here. I wrote a post which has a little more surrounding information on the troubleshoot.
