so, #botonera have a left margin of 18px, but IE make it 36px!
If I put a margin of 30px, IE make it 60px!
I am crazy?

No, it's IE that's is crazy.

#botonera {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 0 18px;
}

If you have a style with float: left and margin-left: XX then IE will
make margin-left twice the size it should be (and the same with float:
right and margin-right)

See http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html
for more details and some suggested fixes.
